I do not own Twilight or NCIS. The characters of Zach and Max were taken from Marine101's Double Trouble. Marine101 has been kind enough to let me take over this story while entering it into the Twilight universe.
For those of you who have read Double Trouble I would like to say that only the characters remain the same whereas most backstory and meetings are subject to change in order to suit the needs of the joining of these two worlds.
Zachary Akon and his best friend Max were huddled up in his room discussing their plans. After their escape from uncaring parents and spoiled siblings, the two had discovered a new life. The fourteen year olds had already graduated high school and landed jobs.
Jenny had made a remarkable and somewhat miraculous plea to the Secretary of the Navy, who agreed to give the two teenagers a trial run. Naturally, they had aced it and gained his approval on officially joining NCIS.
They had moved in with Gibbs and were welcomed earnestly as part of the team. It had taken a while to fit in but soon Tony, Ziva, Tim, Abby and Ducky were all enjoying the new additions.
Tony loved having the company at movie nights and worthy companions who enjoyed the art of movie referencing.
Ziva enjoyed having challenging opponents in the ring and people to communicate with in other languages. As it turns out, Zach and Max often learned basics of languages to pass time. Ziva was overjoyed at having students too.
Tim had found gaming buddies who were just as excited as he was when the latest gaming system was released. Zach and Max loved obsessing over the latest Star Wars with their beloved McGee. Their involvement made it harder for Tony to mock McGee.
Abby had found another pair of siblings who would be there to protect her. It helped that both teenagers were more than willing to delve into the exciting world of forensics. Zach and Max were also keen to learn American Sign Language and Abby was delighted to be their teacher.
Ducky had found eager listeners to his several tales. The teenager also wished to learn more about his several travels over a cup of tea.
Gibbs was grateful for the fact that he had finally put the past behind him and had once again got the opportunity to be a father.
Jenny had let maternal instinct take over and was determined to make up for the years Zach and Max had spent without mothers. She knew that she could not protect them as much as she would have liked but they helped a lot.
After the whole team had worked through Christmas on a high profile case as a favour to the Secretary of the Navy, he in turn had given them two weeks of the New Year off.
Zach and Max had decided to take a trip to Italy and Gibbs and Jenny were reluctant in accompanying them. Zach and Max asked if they could go to Italy alone. They had argued that if they were allowed to carry firearms then surely they could tour a city by themselves.
Gibbs had fought against the idea before Zach and Max reminded him that they were fluent in Italian and would therefore have no problem navigating the city.
Jenny had gave in and promised Gibbs a wonderful two weeks. In the end the two were flown to Italy on the Secnav's private jet.
Meanwhile in Forks, Carlisle Cullen celebrated his latest discovery. An ear splitting yell was heard from the lounge were Alice began jumping up and down and Edward smirked casually, draping his arm around Bella.
Alice's yell attracted Rosalie who wore a frown and Emmet who looked confused. Jasper had begun to sway with all the happiness and excitement in the room affecting him.
Esme tried to calm Alice down as Carlisle leisurely strolled into the room full of vampires.
"I have decided that it is time for us to move once more," Carlisle announced
"To where, dear?" Esme questioned calmly
"Washington DC." Carlisle said seriously
"Are you kidding?" Rosalie burst out in disbelief
"We would sparkle like crazy," Emmet said in support
"I have developed a sort of sunscreen for vampires. It stops our sparkling in bright sunlight." Carlisle said with a grin
"That's awesome!" Jasper enthused
"We have to leave in about two months," Carlisle planned before the family dispersed
"Italy is wonderful," Zach muttered as he crammed a pizza slice into his mouth and closed his eyes
"Yup, it is pretty great," Max agreed as she leaned into his shoulder just a bit.
The two of them were in a park of Volterra and were watching and observing the people around them. A certain group caught their eye. The group consisted of three people from where they could see.
The two began to walk around and were so immersed in their surroundings that they walked into one of the men.
"Uhm Sorry," Zach stuttered as he rubbed his chest, it felt as if he had walked into a wall
"You guys are awfully pale," Max observed with a smile," Someone might mistake you for vampires,"
The two noticed how two of the men stiffened ever so slightly while the third laughed politely," Active imaginations in kids like you,"
"Thanks," Zach whispered as he took in their features
"I am Aro," The friendliest of the three greeted, "and these are my brothers, Marcus and Caius,"
"Well, it is good to meet you guys," Max said politely as Zach nodded
"I still think they are non-human," Zach whispered under his breath
Aro chuckled at the children and their antics before he did something unexpected," Would you two like to accompany us to our castle?"
"A castle?" Max asked in awe
Aro lead the way to a dark, yet beautiful castle that towered over everything in sight. The teenagers notice the dirty looks Aro received from Marcus and Caius.
"I want to test their powers! They may be assets to the Volturi guard," Aro hissed to his brothers who immediately became more understanding
"You honestly think that we are vampires? Aren't you a little old for fairy tales?" Aro asked as he tried to revive the conversation
"Who are we to say that vampires don't exist?" Max started, "There is no way that humans came up with a creature that appears human but feeds on their blood. Perhaps some of the details were embellished a little but they could very well exist,"
Aro laughed internally by the absurdity of it but questioned further, "Why are Vampires not known then?"
Zach answered Aro with quite the reply," Humans and Vampires may have lived in harmony but as man evolved he started to think of them as creeps and they had to hide for their own safety,"
"Interesting…" Aro mused
"We are just saying that sometimes the unexplained does exist," Zach finished
"I have a proposal for you two," Aro said finally after minutes of inner turmoil
"Sure," The teenagers said with a shrug
"I would like to perform a little test on you guys," Aro said tentatively
"What sort of test?" Zach demand as his eyes narrowed in suspicion
But neither Zach nor Max were able to answer as their worlds plummeted into darkness and Aro began his tests.
Should I continue?
