DISCLAIMER: I don't own NCIS. The credit belongs to Don Bellisario and CBS and here in Australia Network Ten. I only own the things you don't recognise. Enjoy
AN: this was the first NCIS fic I ever wrote. But the first time publishing it. It's set in Australia and may become one of a series of fics. I don't know, nor am I aware of NCIS even existing in Australia, but for the purpose of this story it does.
Matilda Potts lay relaxed on a sunny Bondi beach, listening to her iPod. Suddenly two shadows cast shade above her. "What the hell...?" she questioned as she opened her eyes. Looking up she found NCIS Special Agents Cartwright and Clancy.
"I'm afraid there's been an accident Matilda" Agent Clancy informed her.
Matilda sat in front of her laptop, talking on MSN: "he's dead... he wouldn't kill himself...what I do" she typed.
"Contact Gibbs" came the simple reply.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs walked out of the elevator, coffee in hand. Walking towards his desk he was greeted by the sight of his team: Tony looking far too relaxed for Gibbs' liking as he lay back in his chair feet on the desk and head resting in his hands, Ziva playing with her knife and McGee finishing off a report.
"DiNozzo! You're not on a holiday" barked Gibbs.
"Sorry boss" responded his snr field agent, almost falling off his chair "Just bored"
Gibbs sat down at his desk, taking a sip of coffee and opened up his email account. "Gear up" he said as he stood up.
"Where we goin' boss?" asked an excited Tony.
"Sydney"
"Australia?" asked McGee a little surprised.
"Problem Elflord?" asked Gibbs giving him a look.
"No Boss"
"Go home, pack. Meet back here in an hour"
The whole team including Ducky, Palmer and Abby were in the NCIS parking lot
"Where is he?" asked Gibbs to no one in particular.
"Maybe, he forgot" answered Ziva simply with a shrug of her shoulders and for which she earned a Gibbs glare.
"Tony wouldn't forget" McGee told her.
Abby looked across the parking lot "Here he comes" she stated as she pointed towards him.
The team looked across the parking lot in the direction that Abby had pointed to see Tony heading towards them dressed in a singlet with a Hawaiian shirt over it, denim shorts that stopped at his knees, thongs, (AN: I know in America they are called flip flops, but here in the great land of Aus, we call them thongs) and a surfboard under one arm while struggling to carry his bags.
"Nice outfit Tony" Ziva told him smirking.
"Nice outfit Tony" he mimicked "We are going to Australia Zee-vah. Its summer and this is how they dress"
"Actually Tony. They dress like that in Hawaii. In Australia if you want to fit in you should wear board shorts, flip-flops and a blue trucker's singlet" explained McGee who had great delight in telling Tony this.
Tony looked at McGee "Its how they dressed" McGee answered as he rolled his eyes.
"Uh why they surfboard Tony" asked Palmer.
"Pointbreak"
Palmer looked at Tony a little confused.
"Don't tell me the Autopsy Gremlin hasn't seen Pointbreak" asked Tony as he slapped his own forehead in frustration "American cop played by Keanu Reeves goes to Australia to catch a bad guy, surfs a break..." Gibbs head slapped Tony as he winced "Thankyou Boss"
QANTAS FLIGHT 457
The NCIS team took their seats. McGee and Tony sat together in the window aisle. Ziva, Abby and Palmer together in the middle row and Ducky and Gibbs together in the other window aisle. As they got comfortable in their seats the captain made announcements and the flight attendants showed what to do in an emergency.
Tony was growing bored the in flight movie hadn't begun and to fill in time he begun to throw peanuts at Ziva.
"Tony!" she hissed.
"What" responded Tony innocently?
"Stop it"
"I'm not doing anything"
"Yes. You. Are."
"You two. Stop it! Tony watch the movie" Gibbs told them.
"There is no...Oh wait" Tony grinned as he leaned back in his seat and placed the ear phones on his ears.
"Why do I feel like their parent Duck?" asked an exasperated Gibbs.
"Well Jethro..." began Ducky.
"Wasn't a question I wanted answered Duck"
"Ahhh..."
SYDNEY AIRPORT
"Good Morning passengers and welcome to Sydney. The weather outside is a sunny 26 degrees, we are expected to reach a high of 34 degrees. The time is 7am. I hope you enjoy your stay" The Captain of the plane greeted the travellers as the plane descended over Sydney Harbour.
Palmer who was now sitting next to Tony looked out the window "Oh wow. Abby, Ziva come look at this"
The girls carefully climbed over McGee who was asleep and went over to the window, squashing Tony in the process"
"Oh wow" exclaimed Abby "I wish Timmy was awake"
Duck and Gibbs looked out their window to see the plane flying over the Opera House. "Did you know that Sydney is the only airport in the world that allows its planes to fly over its Harbour" stated Ducky. (AN: I hope I got that fact right).
Matilda Potts waited in the arrivals lounge for Gibbs and spotted him straight away. "Uncle Jethro, thanks for coming"
"Uncle Jethro" Tony mouthed to Ziva and a confused McGee.
"Anything for family Tilda" Gibbs replied. "...this is my team Special Agents Anthony DiNozzo, Timothy McGee and Officer Ziva David. ME's Donald Mallard"
"Ducky, please" Ducky told the young woman.
"His assistant Jimmy Palmer" Gibbs continued "and our Forensics expert Abby Scuito" he finished.
Turning to his team he simply said "This is my god daughter Matilda Potts"
