Hi folks, me again. So here is the next story in my series. If you haven't read my previous story then don't worry, it isn't essential, but you might like to so that you can find out about Penny and her back story. Anyways enough of my rambles. Please enjoy, and review with any comments or feedback Happy reading everyone.

Penny had been at NCIS for a whole month and was loving it. She fitted in well with the team and they all felt like they'd known her forever. She'd become particular good friends with Abby, who had lovingly pointed out that Penny was the baby of their NCIS family.

Not only was Penny close to Abby, but she was also becoming close to Gibbs. Penny saw him as a father figure and Gibbs appreciated having someone who he was beginning to see as a surrogate daughter.

As for Gibbs and Jenny's relationship they were really beginning to get on Penny's nerves. They'd been for a few drinks with each other, and he'd brought her a meal or two to share in her office, but they weren't properly in a relationship and were still dancing round the subject.

Abby had noticed that the two shared a special 'something', and Penny explained that they'd been sort of together when they were partners in the 90's.

'No way! So they really are our Mommy and Daddy!' Abby exclaimed excitedly.

Both Penny and Abby had watched the pair and noticed that although they clearly had feeling s for each other they also seemed to bicker a lot.

'I think it's because of all that UST getting in the way.' Penny explained as she sat in Abby's lab.

'UST?' Abby asked with confusion.

'Unresolved Sexual Tension.' Penny explained to an amused Abby.

'OK so how are going to solve our little problem? Because we really need to get Mommy and Daddy back together.' Abby said excitedly.

'Well Valentine's Day is coming up soon, how do you fancy playing cupid Ms Sciuto?' Penny asked mischievously.

'Why Ms Shepard I think you read my mind.' Abby replied with an excited, giddy and equally mischievous grin. 'So what's our plan of action?'

'Well every Thursday Gibbs goes out and orders a take-away for them to eat in Jenny's office. What do you say we start there?' Penny stated.

'Ooo I like it!' Abby replied.
