Disclamier- I own Story Plot and Mandi... thats it. and no one gives me money for them so...
Ziva POV
I sat on my flight to D.C. from Tel Aviv. I looked at the Polaroids on my lap from 8 years ago. I looked at the one on top. In the photo was a beautiful blond teen a huge smile on her face. Her eyes covered by the sunglasses.Mandi. I smiled looking at the photo remembering that day: Mandi and I had been Sitting by the Water at a lake. The water Glistened from the Turned to me and smiled her big smile.
"Thanks for coming with me Zi." Mandi had Said Simply.
" Your Welcome." I had said not knowing what else to say. It was one of those rare occasions Mandi didn't wear make-up and you could perfectly see the Large bruise across her Face.
" Hey Zi Smile!" She said. As I turned to look at her she snapped a photo. I looked at her as she slightly laughed. I took the camera and took a photo of her. Which was Flawless. Mandi was one of those Popular girls that looked like a Bitchy Cheerleader, but she was really the sweetest thing(unless you pissed her off).
I guess someone thought I was crazy for laughing and staring at a picture,because a flight attendent came up to me and asked if I was okay. As I looked at the next photo my smile quickly faded. In the photo were 3 Girls and 2 guys. I being one of the girls, Mandi and her sister Abbybeing the other. It was Winter Formal at the High School I was a Foreign Exchange student at. Abby had her boyfriend,Tim McGee's, arms warped around her, Mandi was in the middle with her then boyfriend and as I looked at my part of the photo I saw Two arms were wrapped around my waist.Tony. Tony was Mandi and Abby's older brother. Tony Being the oldest, Then Abby, and Lastly Mandi. Tony and Mandi were Both Adopted By Jethro and Jenny Gibbs. Mandi was Actually Gibbs' Niece,but her Family except ,Gibbs, Jenny, Tony and Abby, had all died in a natural Disatster. Tony's mom was in a unknown location and his dad was arrested when Tony was 4 for murdering his then Navy girlfriend. I thought of that night. Mandi,Abby, and Me getting ready in Mandi's room:
We all stood in the middle of Mandi's room waiting for Jenny to come up with the dresses. Mandi had her Ipod playing in the background. we could hear Tony Shouting at Jeanne his Ex-girlfriend in his room. Mandi sat on the white carpet. She sighed. Jeanne was Pregnant. Enough said. She didn't want to keep it so Tony, Mandi, Abby, Jenny and Gibbs would take car of the child and never see . By now the yelling had stopped and the only sound was the Ipod playing a Britney Spears song. It was Deadly Silence. Until Jenny came in the room with 3 large Dress bags. We each opened a bag to see the dress they picked in the store. Mandi's a long purple Grecian Style Dress with Rhinestones, Abby's a Black and white Lace dress that made it look like spider webs on the dress, and mine a Simple Brown Strapless Mermaid. We all Were quite until I Laughed slightly.
" What?" Mandi asked taking her dress out of the bag.
" It's snowing outside and were going to a dance in dresses without sleeves." I said Smiling. Abby and Mandi Following in suit. We all Put our dresses on and Make-up. Then Abby and Mandi Had me sit in Mandi's Vanity Chair. Mandi''s Straightener and Curling Iron were on and on the Vanity. Mandi Straightened my Hair and then Curled the Bottom. Abby's Hair in Pigtails as Usual and Mandi's Straight in A Sleeked back Pony tail. We added the Finishing Touches and Individually walked down stairs. Mandi First ,Her Dress Flying back Beautifully as she walked down, Then Abby, Who just looked Perfect, and then I went. As Mandi said i looked Elegant and Beautiful. We all took a Picture by the Stairway. We all seemed so perfectly happy.
I was smiling and thinking of the Happiness of high school when we landed in D.C. I walked out of the Airport with my Luggage. The Photos in my Backpack. I got in the Cab and the first and only thing I said was " Navy Base NCIS Headquarters as Fast as Possible." After: the drive, going through Security outside, Fighting with Security inside, and the elevator Delay, I finally Made it to the Squad room of NCIS. It was Empty Except for Timothy McGee sitting at his desk as i supposed staring at the Computer screen. He didn't look up until Tony and Mandi walked into the squad room talking about something.
" Ziva?" Tony,Mandi, and McGee said at once looking at me.
Okay so this will Explain more it will go back into the past what happend and it will go on with life, Sorry if it seems rushed. Mandi is My charcter that i created, Her Apprence is How I look. I've had this in Mind for awhile.
