This is my ATTEMP at a Somalia story which means I am not sure if it is very good. So that is why I need you, my lovely readers, to tell me. It's set after the end of "False Witness", and I know this probably won't happen in the show but hey, a girl can dream. Oh and this is a multi-chapter story, so maybe like 3 or 4 chapters

I do not own NCIS

"You" Ziva growled at Tony as she was recovered from the explosion in her ears and the confetti soaring in the air.

Tony, who was grinning as he admired his handiwork at the last minute prank he put together to surprise his coworkers, looked at Ziva and his grin transformed into a frightened expression.

"Too much?" he asked in a slightly scared tone. After all, pissing of a highly lethal former-Mossad agent cannot end in a good way. Ziva slowly sat down as she glared at Tony, implying of an impending doom. Gibbs walked down the stairs from MTAC and as he passed Tony's desk, he gave the agent a head slap.

"Clean it up DiNozzo."

"On it Boss!" Tony hurriedly cleaned up his are and moved onto McGee's. "Hey McSlimJim, you mind cleaning up near Ziva's desk, I'm afraid she might impale me."

"Sorry Tony, it's your fault." After about five more minutes of pleading, Tony gave up and went to work near Ziva's desk. She didn't look at him as he sauntered his way over but when he knelt down to push the confetti into a small pile, he felt Ziva raise out of her chair and something slip into his pocket. She walked out of the bullpen and he made his way to his desk. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper. On it, in Ziva's crisp handwriting was "Glad to see you are yourself again, but I will get payback DiNozzo."

"Ha, we will see about that Sweetcheeks" thought Tony as he slid the note back into his pocket

The rest of the day went by pretty quick and uneventfully. It was the second to last day before they were all free to go on their Christmas vacations, tomorrow being Christmas Eve.

McGee was going to do pick up his sister and spend Christmas with his family. Gibbs was going back to Stillwater. Abby was going to Louisiana, Ducky to Boston, and even Jimmy had plans. Tony, for the first time in a long time, had no plans this Christmas.

Unlike Ziva, he thought bitterly.

"So Zee-vah, how are you spending your vacation? Heard you got plans with Mr. Miami Heat."

"How did you know about that Tony?" She asked with a suspicious tone in her voice. "And why do you want to know?" she asked.

"Fine then don't tell me, I was just creating conversation" he responded.

Ziva chuckled "As if you need any help for that. And for your information, I was going to visit my friend but something came up and he had to cancel. What about you, what are you doing for Christmas?"

"Nothing much, probably staying at home with some movies or something." He didn't realize how sad that sounded until he said it out loud. A thought sprang to mind, "Hey, if you don't have any plans we should meet up." He suggested.

"Come over to my place around seven tomorrow and I will cook dinner for us and we can watch It's a Wonderful Life. It's part of the DiNozzo family tradition."

"Ok Tony. I will see you then."

He gave her his thousand watt smile and nodded. Ziva grabbed her coat and headed towards the elevator.

Christmas Eve was tomorrow and Tony still had work to do. This year he decided to do something special for the team. The "surprise" was just the warm-up; he wanted to do something that they would not forget, he was going to do it last year but Vance set up that Secret Santa. So he put his holiday bonus to good use this year and got the team gifts.

He walked out to the garage and opened the trunk of his car. Five neatly wrapped presents sat in the back corner and they were decorated beautifully. Tony picked them up carefully and made his way back to the elevator.

For Abby, he had a friend in forensics blow up pictures of bacterium and turn them into a collage to spell "Abby".

For Ducky, Tony got him a set of engraved golf clubs that the Scotsman had been speaking fondly off.

He left these gifts in the autopsy room and Abby's lab and he made his way back up to the bullpen. He walked first over to Gibbs desk and placed on his desk a set of hand wood carving tools engraved with Gibbs's name on the handles.

Then he made his way to McGee's desk. McGee was a tough one, he looked everywhere for something that he would like but settled on getting him typewriter ribbons and tapes and a personalized carrying case for his typewriter.

And last but not least he made his way over to Ziva's desk. He went through a lot of trouble for this one. It was a gold Star of David locket with small diamond in the middle. She had one already but this locket had his, McGee's, Gibbs's, Abby's, and Ducky's name engraved on the lines of the star. When he first thought of it he thought she would hate it for sure but Ziva was not the chocolates and perfume kind of girl. So he stuck with the locket. As he was about to place it on the desk, he remembered that e would be seeing her tomorrow after work anyway, so why not mess with her a little. He placed Ziva's gift back into his pocket and got ready to go home.
