This is a science fiction AU crossover of NCIS and Magnificent Seven. This story will be mainly written from the point of view of NCIS, though. I do not own NCIS, Magnificent Seven, or Doctor Who, any products associated with any show or any movie or TV reference (Tony!) of any kind or any other character or star.

I just wanted to say that all of you have been so wonderful to me. I want to thank all of you again for the patience, reviews, alerts and favorites. I also want to thank those of you who are just reading. Even though you haven't reviewed, it is still an honor to have you read my stories!
Just a refresher: Tony and Angie (Dickinson), Tim and Susan (Oliver), Jimmy and Dawn (Wells), Abby and Jim (Tim Holt), and Ziva and Clint (Eastwood).
WARNING: There is always going to be some form of discipline in my stories. There are times of talk of spanking or actual spanking. It will never be abusive. It will be about loving male parental figures caring enough about their kids to keep them on the straight and narrow. Also, there will be times of spanking of wives or girlfriends by husbands or boyfriends. I DO NOT mean to offend in my FICTION. Turn back now because you have been warned.
Chris' family was accustomed to the rigors of this type of travel, but Gibbs and John's families weren't. Chris chuckled and thought as his family went home that night that this was going to be a mighty interesting trip. He wondered who would be in trouble first.
Chapter 1
The next morning, as Gibbs walked by the girls' room, he heard an argument ensuing between Abby and Ziva. He stood in front of the open door to their room with his arms crossed over his chest. When the girls took no notice of him, he cleared his throat. That caught his girls' attention.
"Explain."
If one word could send a chill down his kids' spines quickly, that was it.
"It's nothing, Dad." Abby tried to explain.
"Nothing?"
"We are trying to decide what to pack and knowing that we have to share the toiletry bag is going to be a challenge." Ziva decided to explain before the two of them got in trouble. Ziva wanted to sit comfortably on the stagecoach.
"We didn't mean to get so loud, Dad." Abby blushed at her explanation.
"Work it out because if I have to..." Gibbs left his sentence hanging while walking away to check on the boys.
"How's it coming boys?"
"Piece of cake, Dad." Tony said this with his trademark smile.
"Make sure it stays that way."
Gibbs then walked into his own bedroom and realized that Jenny was almost done packing. She seemed to have done a good job consolidating all into one suitcase.
"I guess years of packing in a hurry to go on a case are unforgettable." Gibbs kissed Jenny. "Let's go and get some coffee."
That night, after dinner, Gibbs admonished everyone to go to bed because they would have an early start to town in the morning. The family would catch the first of three phases of coaches to the train station in Ridge City. The other two phases would be John and Chris' families. Of course there were complaints and arguments about not being able to sleep that early.
Gibbs knew that if the kids didn't go to bed early enough, they'd be tired on the trip and a stagecoach ride was not a comfortable ride at any time.
"Unless you want to sleep on your stomach while going to bed early anyway, you'd better do as I say."
"You'd better go. It will be an uncomfortable stagecoach ride on a sore backside too." Ducky decided to be the peace keeper. He wanted to see his family off without an argument in the morning.
"We're going. Dad had me with sleeping on my stomach." Tony couldn't help but lighten the mood.
Everyone said their goodnights and was soon asleep.
The next morning, all were up and excited to go on the trip. Nettie fixed a grand breakfast and packed snacks for the excursion.
"Don't worry about the ranch my boy, Nettie and I will handle everything." Ducky tried to reassure Gibbs that the ranch would still be there when he got back.
"I know it will be alright Ducky. Just remember that if there are any emergencies, The Doctor gave you another solar cell phone to contact him with and then he'll make the arrangements needed to resolve the issue."
"I'll remember."
"Remember what I tol' yah 'bout Casey, Gibbs." Nettie wanted to remind him that she did not want them to tolerate any foolishness out of Casey and to watch out for JD.
Casey had just gotten back into Four Corners after a long stay with relatives back East. It seemed that Casey and JD picked up right where they had left off with an old teenage romance they had before she left. Casey was to move in with the Gibbs family when they all returned from the World's Fair. For now, she was staying with Chris and Mary.
"Casey doesn't know me too well yet, but she does know that Chris and I won't put up with anyone's foolishness Miz Nettie. I am sure she'll be fine, but thanks for the trust in me."
"I know you would never hurt her. Her backside might not like it, but I do trust yah." Nettie smiled as she said that.
Gibbs had rented another wagon for the trip to town and once everyone was loaded in the wagons and said their goodbyes, the family was on their way.
Once the Gibbs family made it into town, they were greeted by The Seven, Mary, Billy, Casey and the boyfriends and girlfriends of Gibbs' kids. Billy and Casey were very excited about the trip. Gibbs took this opportunity to introduce himself to Casey.
"Boys, start loading the bags on the third stagecoach. Chris, a word? Casey, would you join us?" Gibbs began walking to the jail knowing he would be followed.
Not one to beat around the bush, Gibbs began as soon as the jail door closed. "Casey, I'm Gibbs. I am the one you'll be moving in with when we return from the fair. I want you to know that we all love and respect your Aunt Nettie. With that said, she has given me full permission to treat you as I would one of my own children. I treat my own in the same way that Chris does."
Gibbs could see that Casey understood by the blush on her face. "I understand, Sir and I already know what to expect. If it is anything like Uncle Chris, I don't want your attention in that way." Casey rubbed her backside without realizing.
"You might as well call him Uncle Gibbs. He is family. I explained it to her already Gibbs and had to show her and Billy some of it this mornin' when me and the boys found them at the lake without permission."
"I see." Gibbs couldn't help, but smirk. "Well, behave and we won't have a problem. It was nice to meet you Casey. Chris, I guess I'll head out to see if my boys got the bags loaded."
"We'll walk you out."
"All loaded up boys?"
"Yes, Dad." Tony spoke for all three of them. "Can we have a few minutes with our friends?"
"You have thirty. Stay where we can see all of you."
Robert had ridden into town to help see to it that his family said goodbye to Gibbs' family, to keep an eye on the girls, and to pick up supplies for John.
"Please be careful out there." Clint told Ziva.
"I will and I'll miss you until we meet again."
"Don't do anything foolish, Abby." Jim pretty much commanded Abby.
When Abby began to argue about the command, Jim kissed her quickly and Abby forgot her frustrations.
The boys were having an easier time with the fact that Angie, Dawn, and Susan were just hugging and saying they'd miss Tony, Tim, and Jimmy while they were gone.
Of course all of this was done under the watchful eyes of many uncles and Gibbs.
"Alright, time to head out. We are going to do this like the trip that began this whole adventure. The boys will be with me in the second coach so we can watch all coaches. The girls will be with Mom in the first coach. The luggage will be in the third coach. Everyone with weapons experience have your weapons ready?"
All said yes except Abby and Jimmy, but there was enough ammunition in each coach to keep everyone safe. Each coach also had a second driver to help. Gibbs was going to do this safely. He spared no expense for the safety of his family.
"Robert, let John know we will be waiting to see him and the family at the hotel in Ridge City. We'll make all arrangements when we get there."
"Will do Gibbs."
"Chris, same for you. We'll see you guys shortly."
"Be careful out there Gibbs. I know you have manpower, but don't let your guard down."
"I won't Chris."
After all the goodbyes and well wishes, the family got on their way.
Gibbs could only imagine what adventures, good and bad, were in store for them because this was a very large undertaking. No matter what though, he wouldn't have it any other way at this time in his life.

A/N: I know it is short, but I wanted you to know that I had not abandoned the series and that I am finally starting to get more ideas flowing again. I am hoping to update during the Christmas/New Years Holidays. I am working on the next chapter at this time. Thanks again for your patience.
