A Smile goes a long way

Chapter 1- Secret Thoughts

Ziva was exhausted, but she was also Very happy! It had taken all week, but she had gotten Tony to give his Secret Santa victim her gift. Oh and how the poor woman had loved it. Ziva loved nothing more then sharing the Spirit of Christmas. As Ziva packed up she had a small thought that invaded her mind. She knew it wouldn't happen but for some reason Ziva had wanted to get caught with Tony under a mistletoe. Ziva cringed at what a cliché Tony would make out of that, but shrugged it off and headed off for the elevator.

"I wish there was a mistletoe somewhere"

Tony was walking around with his hundred watt Smile covering his face. He just couldn't help it. Tony was happy, and it was all thanks to a certain woman who had gotten him to accomplish a mission impossible (thank you Agent 007). A new wave of happiness overcame Tony as he thought about Ziva. Tony had gotten NCIS's very own Grinch to smile and join in the Christmas happiness. Tony's smile faded a bit as he realized that he had chickened out, yet again, with his Ziva kiss. He shook it off though, by telling himself that he would always have another chance. Tony picked up his gear and walked toward the elevator.

Abby was so happy that she was having problems focusing enough to successfully shutdown her computers. What McGee had done was so magical. He had gotten the young boy's mother into a tela-conference in MTAC. When she had asked, (ok begged) Tim to find a way for the boy to see his mom, who was on a ship somewhere at sea, Abby thought that Tim would have to ask either Gibbs or even Vance for clearance. However Tim had proved her wrong. Abby was ecstatic, all she wanted to do was kiss Tim. Kiss him with such passion that he would see how much she truly cared for him. Deep down she was sure that she loved him. Sighing Abby pushed the thoughts of love out of her head.

"If only I had a mistletoe." Abby thought

Tim looked around the bullpen and was only smiles, He even was smiling himself. Tim had just done what Abby had asked him to for Christmas. It had taken long phone calls and much time on hold, but he had gotten the tela-conference. Not only did Tim love the look on the small child's face, but he loved the look on Abby's face even more. Tim knew how much it had ment to Abby, and that is what had fueled him. That is why he had tried so hard, he wanted her to be happy on Christmas. Tim had a rising feeling that he should have kissed her on the lips when they exchanged little kisses of gratitude. He wanted to show her his passion, but thought it was stupid, and that is what had stopped him. So he packed up and took the stairs down to Abby's lab to wish her a Merry Christmas before leaving.

"If only I had a mistletoe with me I wouldn't have this problem" Tim thought

Gibbs leaned back in his chair and watched his team pack up with smiles on their faces and smiled to himself at what they didn't know. See when Gibbs had last been in the elevator he had been thinking about Christmas and Jenny. So being the romantic guy that he is, Gibbs taped a mistletoe to the inside edge of the enterance, just because he had felt festive. As he looked at the scene that was playing out in front of him, Gibbs knew that rule 12 would soon be forgotten.
