Chapter 1: Kate's Turn
Tony DiNozzo didn't know where he was. He was standing in what looked like a large ballroom, in nothing but his nice polo and slacks. His shoes were his old black loafers. He didn't know how the hell he had gotten there or what he was doing there in the first place. The ballroom was old that was for sure, the walls were all cracked and peeling, the room was majestic it reached up to what looked like heaven and beyond, the floors were old marble, the chandelier that hung so gracefully over the center of the ballroom's floor was an old Victorian.
Tony reached over to the wall and touched it. It looked as if it was disintegrating before his very eyes. Suddenly though, the unmistakable creaking of a floorboard was heard and Tony's head spun around.
"Hello," he exclaimed. "Who's there?"
"Hello Tony," a voice said, he looked up to see a woman walking down the staircase towards him. "Miss me?"
"Kate," Tony asked. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm here to dance with you silly," she replied. "It's part of our plan for you."
"Plan for me," Tony asked even more confused as Kate drew closer and closer to him still. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Your last dance," she replied matter of factly as if he knew what she was talking about. "Everyone on earth according to heaven is entitled to one "last dance" with someone, it can be their mother, their father, anyone…in your case though they've determined that you are special."
"Special," Tony asked. "How so?"
"Well," Kate replied, now she was grasping his shoulders. "They have let you do something a little special; they are letting you have one last dance with every girl you ever loved."
"What?" Tony exclaimed.
"Yes," Kate said. "But there are some rules…"
"Rules?" Tony asked.
"Yes rules," Kate answered and backed out to the middle of the floor. "You can't pick the song you and that girl dance to, it's already been determined, second you are allowed to ask questions but you are only allowed to ask three, third each dance must last longer than a minute, ok?"
"Ok," Tony replied. "So I can ask any three questions I want?"
"Any," Kate replied. "Now do you wanna dance or not?"
"Sure," Tony replied. "Dance…"
Kate pointed towards the doors and music started playing, she took Tony by the shoulders and started to sway with him.
Yesterday, when it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kiss goodnight
I said "It's Love" you said "Alright"
It's funny how I could never cry
Until tonight when you passed by
Hand in hand with another guy
"When can I ask questions?" Tony asked.
"Well," Kate replied twirling and shaking her hips. "Whenever I suppose, just before the music ends?"
"Ok," Tony said. "What was the first thing you thought when you met me?"
"Hmm," Kate replied getting awfully close to Tony's lips. "I thought, "man what a chauvinist!", then I like you, you seemed okay."
You're dressed to kill
And guess who's dying?
"Ok," Tony said. "What were you going to say before Ari shot you?"
"I was going to say lived," Kate said. "I thought I'd die before I ever lived…"
"Oh," Tony spun this time. "Ok?"
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears
Dance away…
Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together, all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off that wall
Lit the strobe light up the wall
I close my eyes and dance till dawn
"Hello Tony," Kate asked. "Anything else you wanna ask me?"
"I'm thinking…" Tony exclaimed.
"Well," Kate said. "You'd best hurry, the song is almost over and my turn is almost done."
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears
Dance away…
Dance away…
Dance away…
Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
Off the street or onto the floor
There was I, many times a fool
I hoped and prayed, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough
"Oh yeah now I know," Tony said. "I what way did you love me?"
"Little sister," Kate replied and smiled. "You were my big brother I never had, my backbone in a sense, you kept me going each day with your jokes and your laughter."
"Well," Tony answered, kissing her cheek. "I'm glad I did my job then."
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears…
"My time is up," Kate smiled as the song was ending. "Goodbye Tony, I'm glad we could talk."
"Me too Kate," he replied. "I'll miss you, I love you."
"I'll miss and love you too Tony," Kate replied walking to the open doors she had pointed to earlier and waving. "Goodbye."
With that Kate disappeared and Tony was again alone waiting for the next girl Kate had talked about to come along.
