Tony was driving to Ziva's house. It was Saturday morning and he was going to her house to take her to watch him play football that day.
Flashback to the day before…..
"What are you doing Tony?" Ziva was talking about Tony doing stretches in the middle of the bullpen
"Well Zee-vah I have an important game of football to play tomorrow"
"You play in a team?"
"No just every year the guys from Baltimore PD play Baltimore FD in a game, its for guys who have worked there and still do, every year I get rung up to go play"
"Sounds interesting. You know I have never been to a football game since I have lived here in America"
"Would you like to come with me?"
"Yeah, that would be great if you want me to come?"
"I would love you to come. So I will pick you up at 0900 hours?"
"Sure"
Tony walked up to Ziva's door and knocked. Ziva opened the door. She was wearing jeans and a low dipping long sleeve green shirt, under she had a white top which came up a fraction higher and made a small triangle in the middle of her chest.
"Hello Tony, are you all pumped for your game?" She picked up her jacket
"Yes very, you won't need that" Tony pointed to her jacket
"Tony it is colder outside and I won't be running around like you will"
"I know that's what this is for" He pulled a blue with black sleeved football jacket which had the words 'Baltimore PD' written on it
"Oh I see" she turned around and he slipped it on her
"Now everyone will know who you are supporting" She locked her door and followed him out to his car. They got in and headed off.
"These things are really warm" she hinted towards the jacket
"I know they are great to watch football in" she turned to face him
"So are these people your friends from Baltimore PD?"
"Yeah, normally there's a few new guys I don't know but I know most of them. My old partner will be there"
"Great I've always wanted to meet him"
"Really?"
"Yeah I want to ask him some questions" She gave him a smirk and winked at him. He smiled.
"Sometimes you are a real tease Ziva" They pulled into a local Baltimore football park and there was some small grandstands set up on either side of the pitch. There were some police cars and fire station vehicles in the car park. They got out and Tony went to the trunk and got a gear bag and a cap which he put on, it read Baltimore PD across it.
"Shall we?" Tony held out his arm pointing towards the group of wearing a lot of blue colours
"Yes we shall" They headed over to the group of people. As they got closer a few people turned around
"Tony! Good to you buddy" one of the older males came up to them. Ziva thought it must be Tony's old partner.
"Hey Ted how's things?" they gave each other a 'guy hug' is what Tony would call it
"Good, now who might this beautiful young lady be?"
"This is my partner Ziva David"
"Well hello im Ted, Tony's old partner" he gave her a wink of welcome
"Very nice to finally meet you" Ziva gave him a friendly hug
"At least your much better looking than his old partner from Baltimore PD" Ted gave them a smile and they both laughed.
"Come on Ziva, let's introduce you to the crew" they walked up to the group of Baltimore players and supporters. A lot of people said there hello's to Tony and then he would introduce them to Ziva.
"OK guys listen up" Ted was obviously in charge
"We got some new uniforms this year from some fundraising so that's great, you all have your numbers so grab your set and we will go get ready for the game" Ted walked over to Tony and Ziva with a woman
"Hello Tony, haven't seen you since last years game" the woman gave Tony a friendly hug
"Hello Isabelle, this is my partner Ziva, Ziva this is Ted's wife Isabelle" Isabelle pulled Ziva into a hug
"Nice to meet you"
"Good to meet you to" Ted pointed his thumb the uniforms, Tony nodded
"I got to go get ready now but Isabelle will look after you till I get back" he took his cap off and put it on her head, holding his hands round her jaw he looked into her eyes
"Perfect, you look just like a natural now" he smiled then ran over to join Ted
"Let's go get a seat"
Isabelle and Ziva walked over to the seats and got a place on the second row.
"Have you been to a game before?"
"No I haven't, Tony talks about it sometimes at work but I'm excited to watch my first game"
"It's very exciting, I remember my first game when I was six it was great, confusing but great"
"Tony said I might not get the rules right away, but I will in time"
"Well he is right, there are many rules. How long have you worked with Tony for?"
"Almost 4 years now"
"Oh yes I remember him telling me about you once, he said you were from Israel? And that you replaced his old partner when she past away?"
"Yes, I did not know Kate but yes that's me"
"It's good to finally meet you, and put a face to the name" The boys had changed and were heading over to the grandstand. Ziva and Isabelle met them at the bottom of the grandstand
"Oh those pants are very hilarious" Ziva told Tony and Ted
"They make my butt look good don't they" Tony wiggled his bum and placed a cheeky grin on his face
"Oh yes very sexy" Ziva gigged
"And those shoulder things make you look overly larger than you should look" she continued grinning at the uniforms the boys were wearing
"You can tell you have not been to a game before"
Ted then pointed out
"You'll find it very amusing Ziva as you always like to rough around with me" Tony said laughing at Ted and Isabelle's faces
"Yes Tony and if you don't play good enough I will come on that field and use my mad ninja skills on you" Ted and Isabelle knew they were on about something they wouldn't get but it was still very funny. A whistle blew warning the teams the game was going to start soon. Isabelle gave Ted a kiss on the lips and he went out to the field. Tony went to go too but Ziva grabbed his hand and pulled him back to face her
"Good luck Tony, go kick some fireman butt" She leant in and placed a small kiss on his cheek, he paused for a second and then grinning he turned and joined the rest of the team who were all watching this happen. When he joined them they were all tussling his hair and bumping him round as they were laughing at him. Ziva just smiled at this and then she and Isabelle returned to there seats.
