Chapter 2: Practical Jokes and Napkins

BANG! CRASH! BANG!

Tony awoke with a start.

"What the hell…?"

He turned over and looked at the clock. 6.145 am.

"Kate, what are you doing!? It's 6 o'clock."

Kate walked into the kitchen from the bedroom, "It's 6.15 and we have to get going? Come here, eat some breakfast."

"Where are we going? I thought we agreed no more wedding stuff for a while."

"Are you joking? That was only for one night and that means we're behind."

"This sucks."

"You're such a whiner! Why can't you just get out of bed, have some breakfast and come with me so we can sort out the napkins!" Kate turned on her heels and stormed out of the room.

"I have to get dressed, don't I?" Tony yelled from the bed.

"Only if you want to!"

Tony slumped back onto his pillow and fell asleep.

Mia walked in the door with bags in hand and an opened letter. She had to talk to Tony and she had to do it now.

"Tony, I'm ho…"

She was muzzled by Kate's hand.

"Shhhhh. Come and watch this." Kate whispered.

The two girls tip – toed into the master bedroom and watched Tony sleep. He was spread out on his stomach with his hands spread out. He looked like a star fish.

"So, what are we doing?" A hushed voice said between the girls' heads. They both jumped out of their skins.

"Gibbs, you scared us." Mia said, giving the older man a hug as he kissed her forehead.

"So, what are we doing?"

"We're going to scare Tony. Watch," Kate walked into the room and yelled, "IGUANA!!"

Tony jumped up with his Sig in his hand, "What?! Where!?" He turned around when he heard laughter. Kate and Mia were holding each other for support whilst Gibbs walked out.

"Déjà vu. I need coffee."

Tony looked around. There was no iguana anywhere. He looked down. He was stark naked. He quickly grabbed the doona and covered himself up, blushing furiously.

"What did you that for?"

"It was funny." Kate said between laughs as she walked out. Mia, however, stayed in the room. She sat on the edge of Tony's bed and waited for him to get dressed.

"Toto,"

"Just a second," Tony walked out fully clothed in sweats and a t-shirt, "What's up?"

Mia looked down, trying to mask the tears, "Squale tried to gain custody of me." She whispered.

"Chi?" He took the letter and read it.

"This is the third time he's tried but he didn't gain it."

"So what's the problem?" Tony said as he sat down next to her.

"What if he gained custody? It would be a bordello." I'd have to live with them and Dad again. I don't think I could cope with that again." She started to cry.

"Hey," Tony said as he pulled Mia in for a hug, "I brought you up as DiNozzo. We were born tough. And if you are anything like me, and I know that you are. You would've done anything to get back home. Not to mention that Gibbs would never let them gain custody of you. Neither would I."

Kate watched the siblings from the door. They were so close. She smiled. Tony really loved Mia as if she was his child. They were best friends and nothing would come between them.

"Sorry guys but we have to go."

Mia wiped her eyes and stood up, "I'm going to Abby's."

"Oh no, you're not. You're coming with us. I don't think I could deal with napkins for a whole day without someone to keep me sane." Tony pleaded.

Mia smile, "Sure thing, Toto."

"But they're pink," Tony whined, "Of all the bloody colours in the world you choose pink."

They had been choosing napkins for the past three hours with the wedding planner that Kate insisted in having.

"Because they're pretty."

"Mia, what do you think?" Tony asked.

"The pink ones are nice," Kate smirked at Tony,

"But," her face fell,

"I think the white ones would go better with the colour scheme."

Tony smiled at Mia with approval, "See, I told you so."

"Vell," the planner interrupted, "I tink ze pink ones are preety."

"Oi, you're just the wedding planner. You do as we say."

"Tony, don't be rude."

"Hey, I'm telling it as it is."

"No, you just want to get out of here."

Mia looked from Kate to Tony. Here they go again. She thought

"Yeah, maybe I do."

"What is so important that we have to do?"

"Hmmmmmmmm……..let me see…the bridal party. That'd be a start."

Kate slapped her self Gibbs style, "Oh my God, I forgot all about that."

"So, I think we'll take the white ones." Tony smile triumphantly
