Authors note: Hey guys, as promised here is the first chapter of my new story, These Moments. It'll be quite similar to Moments Like These (which if you haven't read you should definately read, and review) but you don't have to read that for this to make sense, it will have Lani in a few chapters thiugh, coz I love her, she's so sweet. The chapter updates will come as fast as I can get them up, but I've got my exams soon, so I"ll be studying a lot. Anyway, if you have any chapter suggestions that would be great if you shared them. I'd love if you could review

Abby bounded out of her kitchen, arms full of food and drinks. Trying her best not to drop anything she made her way out of her apartment, down the stairs and into her car. She only had to go back once when a packet of chips fell off the top of the pile. She started her car and drove to **Anacostia park. She was the first to arrive. Pulling all the food, plus a blanket out of her car she hurried to a shady, grassy spot. Dropping the food into a pile she lay out the blanket. Abby had just finished putting all the food into some sort of order when McGee arrived with Jethro.

"Hey Abs," he accepted her hug and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Timmy!" Abby squealed. "I'm glad you're here."

"Of course I'm here, Abby," McGee grinned and placed his own pile of food gently onto the blanket. "You asked me to come."

"Yeah," Abby helped him to spread out his pile of food. "But I always get this feeling that no-one's gonna show up, and I'll be some loner sitting in the park with enough food for twenty people."

"You're not a loner now, Abs," McGee picked up and sandwich, only to have it batted out of his hands.

"Not yet, McGee," Abby scolded. "Wait for everyone else to get here."

"Don't worry, McTubby," Tony dropped a basket of food next to McGee. "You won't have to wait long."

"Yes, McGee," Ziva spread out a second blanket. "Jenny called me and asked to let you know that she, Gibbs, Ducky and Palmer are on their way and will be here in about five minutes or so."

"Thanks Ziva," Abby smiled up at her friend.

True to their word, three minutes later Gibbs, Jenny, Ducky and Palmer arrived.

Gibbs gave Abby a bear hug, well, more like Abby gave Gibbs a bear hug.

"Alright," Abby jumped away from Gibbs and back to her spot on the rug next to McGee. We're all here now, let's get started!"

Within seconds they were all on the ground, eating as much food as they could shove into their mouths. They chatted aimlessly, learning small things about each other, just talking and listening. Things they didn't really get a chance to even think about at work. Once every had finished eating Tony produced a frisbee.

"Abby," he whispered in her ear. "Wanna play?"

Abby looked at the Frisbee in his hands and nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah!"

They jumped up and ran into the open area away from the gathering. Ziva followed them.

"Hey, Tony!" Abby jumped up and down and waved her arms around. "Throw it to me, I'm open!"

Tony laughed and aimed the Frisbee at her, at the last second he turned and it spun at Ziva. Her hand reached forward and snatched it out of the air.

"Aw," Tony pouted at her. "You were supposed to miss it."

"Why?" Ziva cocked her head.

"Coz, I feinted to Abby and then threw it to you, you weren't supposed to expect it."

Ziva remained silent.

"Oh well," Tony sighed. "I guess that's what happens when you play frisbee with a ninja."

Abby giggled before resuming her jumping/waving position and calling to Ziva, "To me! To me! C'mon Ziva! Throw it to me!"

Ziva flicked her wrist and the frisbee came sailing in Abby's direction. Abby reached up and was about to catch it when Jethro jumped into the air and caught it in his mouth.

"Jethro!" Abby giggled. "Come on. I had that one."

McGee approached, "Sorry Abs, Jethro loves frisbees."

"It's okay, Tim," Abby patted Jethro on the head. "I love Jethro, I'm glad to share my frisbee with him."

"It's my frisbee Abs!" Tony called out.

Abby ignored him and took the frisbee back from Jethro. She threw it out towards Tony. Jethro took off like a greyhound, charging for it. He launched himself into the air and snatched up the frisbee. Tony let out a short scream before the German Shepard crashed into him.

"Oof," Tony slammed into the ground. "McGeeeeeeee!"

Nobody came over to help Tony up, they were all laughing to hard. Gibbs whistled through his teeth and Jethro came running over.

"Good boy," Gibbs rubbed the dog's head and gave him a chicken breast.

Ziva stopped herself from laughing and walked over to Tony, offering him a hand.

"I love these moments," she told him.

"What?" Tony accepted her hand up. "Moments when I get knocked down by a friggin' Great Dane?"

"German Shepard," Ziva corrected. "And no, moments like these when we all get together and just have fun. It's nice."

"Yeah," Tony agreed, looking around at the laughing team. "These moments are pretty good."
