Okay, this was inspired by this week's NCIS episode called 'False Witness.' Tony's prank was killing me to write this! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything.


Ziva walked up to Tony after the commotion died down. Tony decided that all hell would have to break loose, but in the elevator so McGee would not witness him being beaten up. They walked into the 'conference room' and the doors slid shut.

"What the heck was that, Tony?" Ziva said angrily.

"You said that I was the class clown, so I made up for what I've missed for the past three days," Tony said with a grin on his face.

"So you scared the heck out of McGee and me? I almost shot someone in there!" she scolded.

"Yeah. Jerry helped me to rig the office. McGee's typing set off the confetti. You've gotta admit, it was kinda funny." Tony knew that Ziva was getting mad, and he decided to stretch her even farther.

"Can you imagine what would have happened if Gibbs was there? He would have shot you faster than I could have! Or he could have just head-slapped you to death!" Ziva exclaimed.

"Which is why I waited for him to leave, and I didn't fix his desk to explode. I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid, Ziva. You really think that I would blow up Gibbs' desk? I'd be dead in less than twenty seconds!" Tony said.

She stood there speechless. A few moments passed until she said anything. Then she said in a whisper, "At least the old Tony is back. If you had gone on like that for two more days, we would not be okay," Ziva said with a small smile on her face.

"See? You're glad I pulled that prank! You just needed to realize the good in what I did," Tony said arrogantly.

"No. I'm still irritated. But I am happy that my old Tony is back to normal," Ziva said. Then she head-slapped him, "That is for changing on us for two days." She slapped him again, "That is for exploding the squad room." Finally, she kissed him on the cheek, "That is for being you again."

Tony stared into Ziva's eyes. "You really love me for acting like a kid? I thought you find it annoying."

"We do. But it is what makes you, you. Tony DiNozzo is the class clown, and the senior field agent that is loved by everyone." With that, she flipped the switch to the elevator and it jolted back to life.

"Promise me that you won't change like that again," Ziva said.

"Unless I want to play a prank on you guys, I promise," Tony said.

Ziva gave him a look that said 'come-on-Tony.'

"I promise."

"Good."
