Team Tiva: Halloween
She wrinkled her nose, pigtails swinging as she shook her head.
"Don't think that's going to work, honey, pretty sure you'll have to go with something more - "
He cut off her sentence with a glare.
"I'm not going any more sparkly than I am right now."
"But Toooo-nnnny," she whined. "You promised me that you would be Edward for Halloween and I've already convinced Ziva to put on the Bella outfit I found for her. Well, that came mostly out of her closet, which is why she agreed, especially since the jacket that they had at Hot Topic was a perfect fit, but I really wanted to be Alice, because she's physic and if I could be a vampire I would want to be physic, but I haven't found a vampire willing to turn me yet and besides who knows about real vampires, so -"
"ABBS!" He shouted, both hands on her shoulders. "I said I would be Edward, and you know how I feel about Edward, but why do I have to be shirtless-in-the-sunlight Edward? Aren't your Halloween parties usually taking place in dark clubs?"
She blinked and then gave him a huge grin.
"Oh! We can do a little less sparkle, but still show your abs, Ziva loves your abs and it's criminal to not share them, especially since you started working out again." She tapped the makeup brush she was holding against her chin and looked at him thoughtfully. "I love your abs, too."
He gave a trademark Tony grin at her offhanded comment.
"I'm pretty fond of your costume, Abby, can't believe you are wearing heels!"
She took a step back and gave a twirl, her black linen skirt flaring out a tiny bit at the bottom, the fitted white blouse and black jacket were a gift, Ziva had taken her to Ann Taylor and actually insisted the assistant take the time to help Abby, then handed over the large envelope of cash that she had been entrusted with.
"After he talked Palmer into being Jimmy Olson, I couldn't exactly say no to being his Lois Lane, now could I?"
"You look so much better than the Professional Barbie outfit you use to wear for court."
Luck for his abs, Abby was distracted by the doorbell and managed to toddle to the front door, loudly talking to Ziva through the solid oak, fist dropping from the punch she was about to deliver and already gesturing as if their friend could see her.
He heard the door click open, as he finished buttoning his shirt and shrugged on the sports jacket he had chosen for this occasion.
"He will meet us there, yes?"
"He promised," Abby answered Ziva's question with a nod and then a shake of her ponytail. Her hand reached up to fluff her bangs and she gave the couple a grin. "Ready?"
She looped her arm in the crook of Tony's free elbow, his right arm comfortably slung over Ziva's shoulder.
"To Infinity and Beyond!" Abby yelled, pulling her friends out the open door.
"Wrong superhero, Abs," Tony's voice echoed down the hall, the loud door slam (from Ziva's foot kicking it closed) cutting the giggles of both women off.
Tonight was going to be a good night. Even if he was sparkly.
A/N: Bonus points to anyone who can figure out Abby's date, based on the story clues... ;) Thank you to everyone who enjoyed Team Tiva (and asked for a sequel). Hope you enjoy this one also. I'm still loving on Jet Lag!
