Disclaimer I don't own any NCIS teams, Gibbs' team, Director Vance, Tobias Fornell, FBI, or any other characters in the Series. I do however own My OC, other character's I bring in, and the idea for the plot.

Note This is my first story, and my first NCIS story, and I hope it all goes well!

NCIS

Chapter 1 - Acceptance

'Shit! Shit, shit, shit!' A female white furred German Sheppard thought as she paced rapidly around her kennel. 'How could I let this happen!'

Unknown to the staff, this German Sheppard was actually a Shape-Shifter. She had been implanted with a silver microchip, which meant that she couldn't return to her human form until it was removed. She couldn't remember her human name; so they renamed her Alfie.

Alfie stopped pacing and sat down in front of the tall fence keeping her in. Across the way from her was a long-haired Jack Russell, named Sparky. He was getting old, but was still quite friendly. He was just an ordinary dog though. When a pair of jeans and a pair of black suit trousers stepped into her line of vision, she looked up into a pair of brown eyes. The man was dark skinned and had a small black moustache.

"This is Alfie, Director; she's a pure-bred German Sheppard, and about four years of age," the woman wearing jeans explained. "She's well tempered, unless told otherwise, friendly, obedient, and one of the fastest dogs I've ever seen. She's a very good tracker too."

"Well… I'll take her as well," the Director told the woman as they walked further on down. "Take her back to NCIS."

"Yes sir, Director Vance," a guy dressed as a bodyguard opened the fence and slipped a collar around her neck, then clipped a leash on to it. "Come on, girl."

Alfie didn't move an inch, so the guy ended up dragging her out and into a cage in the back of a black car. She had to lie down to stop herself from being thrown around the cage. The car soon stopped and she was dragged into a room, behind a desk sat a guy with ginger hair. He looked down and smiled at Alfie.

"Hey, Alfie right? German Sheppard, she has been assigned to… Special Agent Gibbs' team," the guy held a brown leather collar out to the guard guy. It had two dog tags o it, and a shiny gold coloured plaque with 'NCIS' engraved into the metal attached to the side. "Top floor."

Alfie knew that resisting would only cause problems for her, and she didn't want to end up back at the Kennels, so allowed the guy to put the proper collar on around her neck. He then led her to an elevator, and after a bit of encouragement got into it. The guy had the leash in his hand, but it wasn't attached to her collar.

The door dinged before it opened, the guy stepped out immediately and Alfie followed. He stopped just before entering an area occupied by four desks, all currently being used.

"Special Agent Gibbs?" the guy asked to no one in particular, just waiting to see who replied.

"Yeah?" A voice replied, to the far left up ahead of them a guy with salt and pepper hair peered round his computer. He glanced at the guy before down at her. "What, is that?"

"This is your new team member, sir. Her name is Alfie. You will be getting a copy of her papers as soon as the Director has returned." The guard guy left her blue leash on the desk of a dark-haired woman's to her left before turning and walking away quickly.

Gibbs was still staring at Alfie, her ears fell as she recognised the look of unwantedness in his eyes.

"Abby's gonna flip." The guy to her right grinned as he put his phone to his ear, breaking the silence that had fallen over all of them.

"I do not think that is such a good idea, Tony." The woman with her leash told the guy.

"Why not, Ziva?" The guy, Tony asked, raising an eyebrow in mock interest.

"Because, she is a little nervous." Ziva indicated towards Alfie. It was true, Alfie was shivering so badly that her tags were clinking together madly.

Tony waved it off and grinned, "Hey Abbs, new team member's here… yeah, up here… okay, see you in a minute."

Alfie's ears perked up at another dinging sound. On the opposite side of the area appeared a young woman wearing a black tank top with a red skull on it, a white lab coat on over it. A plaited black skirt, black and red socks, and a pair of black high-heels. Around her neck was a spiked dog collar, hanging down off of it like Alfie's dog tags was a silver Spider.

"Where is he!" the Goth asked excitedly, eyes wide and grinning a megawatt smile.

Special Agent Gibbs pointing down in her direction and the Goth followed, spotting Alfie instantly - she really stuck out with her winter white fur.

Alfie panicked as the Goth chick ran at her and darted beneath the desk Ziva sat at, her dog tags clinking madly.

"What did I do?" the Goth asked Ziva sadly, feeling hurt that Alfie had ran away from her.

"Nothing, Abby. She had jest been through a lot today," Ziva told the Goth, Abby. "Her name is Alfie, why don't you try that?"

Alfie felt something stroke the end of her tail, and turned her head round over her shoulder to see the Goth smiling happily at her.

"Hey there," Abby spoke softly to her, pulling her tail very gently. "Come on, Alfie."

Realising she had offended the young woman, Alfie turned around fully and padded towards Abby, who crawled backwards to give her new friend room to get out.

Once out, Alfie sat up straight and looked at the Goth on her knees in front of her. Alfie stepped forward towards her and sat back down, within the blink of an eye Abby's arm's were around her neck and running her fingers through her soft white fur.

"Who's a good girl?" Abby cooed, scratching Alfie behind her ears, and for the first time in months, her tail began wagging at the positive attention. "Yes you are. Yes you are."

Abby stood up straight and looked into Alfie's eyes; the left one was blue, the right pale grey.

"Let's introduce you then, these two - who you've already met - are Tony and Ziva," Abby indicated to them before walking down towards Gibbs. "This is Gibbs, he's the boss. Well, he's the boss of the team. And this here is Tim. But he's mainly McGee."

"You know you're talking to a dog, right?" Tim, or McGee raised an eye at the… unique Forensic Scientist.

Alfie trotted over towards the last desk on the right and sat down beside Tim's seat, looking up at the Computer Wiz with bright eyes.

"Look Timmy, she likes you." Abby grinned at him as he petted Alfie lightly on the head.

Alfie padded cautiously across the way and sat down beside Gibbs, when he looked down her, her ears fell again and her tail stopped wagging. After a few silent moments, Gibbs started smiling and scratched the side of her head. Her jaws opened and her tongue lolled out, if she could smile in her animal form then she would be.

"Welcome to the team, Alfie," Gibbs patted her head and turned to his team, who were all staring at him. "What? Get back to work!"

'This gonna be better than I thought.' Alfie thought to herself as she looked around at the people she would be spending all mainly all of her time with.

Well, tell me what you think of my start. Is it alright? all good?
