Tony was in heaven,the teenage boy hadn't seen so many beautiful girls at The Green. His step father's hotel was hosting the annual DC Winter Pageant, and Tony was helping his step father set things up back stage, he never really offerred to help out with events held at The Green but when his Mom told him it was a pageant, he would be helping out, he jumped at the chance, persuaded with the chance to introduce himself to young women in bathing suits he was in,he insisted he did the job instead of his fraternal twin Tim.
'Oops, I'm sorry' Tony wasn't concentrating on what was going on around him he was just so distracted by the images running in his mind,he didn't realise he was heading straight into the front runner of the Pageant.
'Geez,clutzy Mc clown,watch it' Ziva bit back standing to her feet brushing of her cheer shorts and fixing the curlers in her hair.
Tony ran his fingers through his hair 'wow'he didn't realise he said it out loud'don't worry she's not normally like this but its pageant day and she just under alot of pressure,I hope you understand' a tall girl was now stood in the place Ziva had just occupied,'I'm Abby,by the way,you know in case you were wondering',Abby realised the boy wasn't even paying attention to her.
'Abby' her mom shouted for her,geez her mother was 10 times crazier when it came to pageant day,Abby decided her mom was the meaning of crazy pageant mom,'I'm coming' Abby shouted back.
Abby went towards her mother ,Victoria Kelly David however everyone in the pageant bis' knew Victoria hated to be referred to as a David she preferred being a Kelly not that she didn't love her husband Eli David its just Victoria Kelly sound more fashionable,her mother was a little vain but she meant well.
Abby wondered into the contestant dressing room,her nostrils where assualted by hairspray and expensive perfume but before she could tell you the brands she was dragged off to where her sister was sitting having her hair backcombed into a quif,she could see the annoyance in her sisters eyes she knew Ziva didn't want to be there any more than she did,but they both knew they would go through with it they always sat down in front of the makeup artist ready to get started,she knew they quicker they started the quicker it ended.
'Zivaleh,come here sweetheart and put on your dress,theyr'e going to be calling your age group soon' Ziva got up from where she was seated and went over to the clothes rack by her mother to pick up her dress.
The dress was a strapless deep blue floor length gown with a crystal beaded band that sat just under her breast,she sat down so she could put on her heel which were a lighter shade of Blue than her dress with a medium size bow on the side of each stood and walked over to the full length mirror that was stood in the corner of the room,she ran her hands down her dress a looked at her relection,she looked like a princess,she always hated being a princess needing a knight in shining armer wasnt her thing but her mom wanted this so she knew she couldn't dissapoint she would have to be grand supreme.
She saw the figure of the boy who bumped into her earlier,he was now lookin extremely dapper,she could see that he was clearly a handsome boy,but the sleek black suit made him look like a man,however he was clearly in his teens but he was well muscled.
'Hey Zee' Abby came up behind her sister,considering she was older than the girl infront of her,in heels Abby and Ziva were the same height.'Yh Abs' Ziva replied 'Mom wants you,you need to get your number before your on'
'Ziva attempted to pass Abby but the older girl stopped her in her path 'We need to tell her,this has to stop,you and I both know that were not cut out for pageants,you may be good at them and always win but this isnt what you or I like doing,and she has to know how we feel'
'Abby,No were not doing this were gonna do pageants until she wants us to stop,I know you don't like it but she our mother and she has to be happy'
She has to be happy. What about us, when shes not around we do things that make us happy, like your training days with dad or my trips to the science emporium, you know mom will freak if she found out her perfect pageant girl was kick boxing and completing army cadet training,she be less dissappointed in me it's not like I ever place outside my age catergory, but that not the point she has to know'.
'Fine, Abs we'll announce our retirement at the crowning today,and just deal with mom,but this will break her she always wanted daughter to carry on the Kelly legacy of being Miss and Miss teen USA' Ziva said unsure of the plan to quit.
'Ziva were not Kelly's remeber that Nana Olivia refused to see you when you were born because your dad is Israeli,and she wanted nothing to do with me because I was born out of wedlock'
'I know,I get it it's something that needs to be done,doesn't make it any easier'Ziva said regretfully
'Come on Zivaleh, Abs time to get out there'
Abby lifted her floor length moss green ruffled dress so her matching heels could be seen her dress had diamonte detailing all she and Ziva looked radiant, as they entered the ball room behind their mother,
Tony was trying to scope out the girl he bumped into earlier,he knew she saw him from the dressing room,but he didn't hover longer than needed the last thing was someone complaining to Fornel - his step dad and hotel manager- about him being a creeper.
'This is contestant 214 Ziva David'Ziva had been doing this for so long most pageant MC's knew the pronounciation of her last name'she has dark brown hair,and dark brown eyes,her hobbies are cheerleading,singing and competing in pageants,her favourite food are san francisco churros' hitting every point she went to the edge of the stage waiting for the MC to give her thanks and once the MC had done so she walked of the stage.
It was Abby's turn her performance was less enthusiastic and refined than Ziva's but she really didn't care for being judged on her physical appearance,she just wasn't shallow enough for that.
Winter wear,Talent and beauty were done so the only thing left ot wait for was crowning,Victoria's favourite part of pageant day is seeing Zivaleh crowned grand supreme.
'Girls go back to the changing room, and get gloria and steph to get you ready for crowning'
Ziva and Abby left for the changing room,however Ziva stopped when she felt a hand on her forearm,she took a swing for the stranger,but her fist was caught mid swing,'Hey,Geez what's with you and getting physical with me we only just met,im not that kinda guy'Tony joked letting go of her arm raising an eyebrow in his direction Ziva grabbed Abby and turned back towards the direction of the changing rooms'Hey,I was just gonna compliment you on your performance' Tony said running to catch up with them
Tony carried on walking oblivious, to the looks the girls were giving him,Tony's brother Tim was walking dwon the corridor past them and was watching as Tony was distracted by the beautiful brunette girl who had her eyebrows raised.
'Tony' Tim said with a smirk as he stopped by the three of them,a shriek could be heared as Tony entered the girls changing room,' I was just gonna tell you,you can't go in their if your a boy only parents and contestants',he said letting a little chuckle escape his lips,he shouldv'e stopped his brother earlier but it was a funny sight,he couldn't help it.
The girls laughed and walked by the boys however Abby turned back to offer Tim as sweet smile before she was dragged beyond the door,'Call me' Tony called after them, a comment more to Ziva than Abby,Ziva ignored him but Abby let out a quick reply 'She doesn't have your number'.
The girls came out again,half an hour later in new outfits and retouched hair and makeup,Abby went ahead to see if she could find Tim or Timmy she affectionately decided to call was pacing outside the ballroom when she bumped into a solid body,'You agin' She spat 'I think you bumped into me this time,not suprising though pacing like a mad woman is bound to have a high risk factor'
Ziva didn't reply,just walked into the ballroom,Tony entering behind her'What you following me now' Ziva said.
'No actually,im helping the Mc out with crowning,you know flowers,sash,crown etc'
'Yh I know it not my first pageant' with that Ziva left to find her mom and Abby,she walked past Abby who was being extremely flirty with Tim,she left her sister to it and went to find her Mom.
By the time it came to crowning grand supreme,both Ziva and Abby had several trophies however Abby also had a crown as she won queen in her catergory,the girls both got most awards presented in their individual age catergories,it made parents annoyed since they awards weren't given to their daughters but they were glad when Abby was crowned as in this pageant girls couldn't be double crowned.
'And the ultimate grand supreme for the annual DC Winter peageant is ... Ziva David'
Voctoria was in tears she always was when Ziva won the highest titles,Ziva went to collect her prize,Tony came out with two ther girls on each side who presented Ziva with her crown,sash and staff once the girl turned back and went off stage, Tony took this time to give her the bouquet of long stemmed white roses.
Ziva asked the MC if she could have the microphone before her picture was taken,the MC though it was unusual for the winner to make a sppech but,she handed the microphone to Ziva.
'Hello,I'm Ziva David and i just want to let you know this will be mine and Abby's last pageant,it is a sad time as we're announcing our indefinite retirement from the pageant industry.
Everyone was stunned,parents usually announced a childs retirement,everyone but Victoria got over the shock and gave Ziva a round of thanked the audience and wallked of stage over to Abby and her Mom,who was staring at them both.
'Well done baby girl,so what do you plan to do in your retirement years'Victoria was smiling which shocked them both,'You aren't mad' Ziva asked cautiously,'No,why would i be' her mom wondered
'I thought you wanted us to follow in your footsteps,you know Miss and Miss teen USA'Ziva stated like it was obvious 'I wouldn't want you girls to do anything you weren't happy with,you think i would force you into this,yes sometimes i got a bit carried away but its cause i thought you girl were enjoying yourselves,but obviously not,im such a bad mother not paying attention to what you what,but i'll change whatever you girls want'
Eli David and his son Ari walking into the ballroom,looking for his three girls,he saw them in the corner embracing each other in a bear hug,Victoria let go of the girls Eli noticed Abby and Ziva wearing crowns on their heads and victoria carrying tophies walikng towards the two boys,'theyr'e retiring'Victoria stated when Eli sliently eyed the tears running down her cheeks,he just nodded he was expecting this day to come but not for a while yet the girls just couldn't stand to upset their mother,but they were inhappy and Eli knew this,so he was glad it was over for them.
Tim and Tony just watched them from a far,wonderinging if they would ever see them again.
A month later...
'Sir Abigail Sciuto and Ziva David are new here' Kate reminded Principle Vance
Tony knew those names,and when he turned aroung he knew those faces.'Thank you Kate, Tony wait outside girls come in' Tony brushed past Ziva and both he and Abby smirked,she just ignored them and kept walking furter into Principle Vance's office.
