Always On Your Side – An NCIS Fanfiction
By Mackenise Jackson
Summary: The NCIS team is forced to attend a week long team building camp.
Sure they can work as a team but will they survive each other company for a whole week... TIVA and some McAbby and if you are real lucky maybe a bit of Jibbs.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. Which of course everyone already knew.
AN: Thank you all the reviews and story alerts from the last chapter. As promised here is the next chapter.
Also to the person who pointed out that this story has already been done twice. You may be right but this is Fan fiction, the same ideas do tend to get used a lot. But everyone has their own spin on an idea. I am not trying to copy anyone else's work and I feel I have my own spin on this idea. So as long as people are reading this and enjoying it I will continue to write it.
Once again thank you to everyone for your support. Now on with the story.

"We're being sent to a TEAM BUILDING CAMP"
Chapter Two
There was silence as everyone stared at each other. It was Ziva who first spoke up.
"What exactly is a team building camp?" she asked.
"Well basically we get to spend a week in the woods, playing silly little games and exercises that are meant to make us work better as a team" Tony summed up for the Mossad officer.
"But we already work well as a team, yes? Questioned the now confused Ziva.
"That we do Zee-vah" replied DiNozzo "That we do"
"Then why are we going?" Ziva continued
"What I don't get is why I have to go" announced Abby "It's not like I'm a field agent or anything"
"It is most likely a policy thing" spoke up McGee, who had already gone back to reading the information on his computer screen.
Again silence fell over the group, each thinking their own thoughts. This time it was Tony who spoke first.
"Well this should be fun" he said, already thinking about the various pranks he could play on his team mates.
McGee on the other hand wasn't so sure, it was a proven fact that he and nature just didn't mix plus seven days without internet connection, wasn't his idea of fun. Really what was he suppose to do all week.
Of course McGee wasn't going to voice these thoughts, the last thing he needed was to give DiNozzo something else to tease him about.
"Alright guys" said Abby clapping her hands together. "We need to get organized, we have an early start to tomorrow and since we are leaving from here how about we car pool in the morning and save us from leaving multiple cars in the car park for a week"
Within moments Abby had everything arranged, Tony was going to pick everyone up on his way in tomorrow as he lived the furthest out and therefore there would be no back tracking for him if he was the one to pick everyone up the next day. And then with that sorted Abby went back to her lab muttering about idiots temps while the other went about finishing their paperwork for the day so they could go home and pack.
In DiNozzo's opinion his alarm went off way to early the next morning, and he was tempted to hit the snooze button for another fifteen minutes but remembering he had promised to pick up his team mates this morning so they could attend this silly team building program, he pulled himself out of bed and made his way to the bathroom for a quick shower.
After his shower and his first cup of coffee for the day Tony was feeling much more awake and cheerful so grabbing his bag he headed out to the car to go and pick up his various work mates.
His first pick up was Ziva as she lived the closest to him. When he arrived she was ready for him and letting him take her bags she climbed into the passenger seat.
"So Zee-vah" Tony said starting the engine "Ready for a week of fun and games", His mind already going over the various pranks he was planning on pulling while away from DC.
Looking over at her partner she watched as he threw her one of his DiNozzo grins and it was at that moment she knew he was planning something.
"Don't even think about it Tony" she replied sending him a warning glare that he felt more then saw as his eyes were on the road.
"Ahh come on Ziva let me have some fun; this week is going to be boring playing trust games and god knows what else. What about if I promise not to pull any pranks on you" he pleaded, and then he got a great idea.
"Hey why don't you join me, with my brains and your crazy ninja skills, no one will know what hit them" he laughed.
The sound of the radio filled the air as the Israeli thought about Tony's offer.
Finally she replied
"Okay Tony I will join you with these pranks of yours, but you better make sure Gibbs doesn't catch you"
"You will? Great" Tony asked shocked that the ever sensible Mossad officer had agreed to help him, and then the second part of what she said sunk in.
"What? Catch me? What about you? What if he catches you instead?"
Ziva just smirked sure of herself as she replied.
"He will not catch me"
Seconds later they pulled up in front of Abby's place.
Fifty minutes later they pulled up in front of the NCIS building with both Abby and McGee now in the car as well. Turned out there was more then one reason for the large amounts of caffeine Abby consumed, it seemed that the loveable Goth was not exactly a morning person if the grumpy and tired version of the Abby they all loved sitting in the back seat was anything to go by. McGee was just as tired looking but instead of being grumpy he was just quiet. Filing out of the car the two tired members of the team just stood there as Tony and Ziva removed the bags from the car and stacked them near the other two.
"What is wrong with Abby and McGee?" Ziva quietly asked Tony as they got the last of the bags out of the boot.
"I'm guessing the kids aren't morning type people Zee-vah" Tony smirked "But it's alright I know what will fix them up" and with that he deposited the bag he was holding with the rest and jogged away. Leaving Ziva with the luggage and some very uninteresting company.
Minutes later he was back, three cups of coffee and a Caf-Pow in hand, only to find a now happy looking Abby already gulping down a Caf-Pow.
"Aww you brought me a Caf-Pow that's so sweet, Gibbs brought me one too" she excitably said grabbing the caffeine high drink from his hands, not paying attention the shocked look on his face.
"You're late" Gibbs voice accused coming up behind his senior field agent.
"I was here early Boss, I just went and got… and never mind." Tony trailed off as Gibbs glared at him.
"Okay everyone load up" Gibbs ordered already heading around to the drivers side of the car.
Quickly handing out the other coffees to their owners Tony and the rest of the team made haste in following the order and soon bags and people were packed in the car.
"Wait a minute" cried Abby just as Gibbs turned the key. "I forgot something" and with that she jumped out of the car and raced into the NCIS building.
"Where has she gone" asked Ziva to the car in general.
"Maybe she needed the toilet" mused DiNozzo.
"No, she said she forgot something" countered the Mossad officer.
"Something from her lab then?" suggested Tony.
Then feeling a glare from Gibbs both shut up.
McGee who was in the passenger seat just sat there quietly waiting for his coffee to kick in.
Minutes later Abby returned, Bert the hippo safety tucked under her arm.
No one said a word they were all looking at her except Gibbs who started the car and pulled away from the curb.
"I nearly forgot Bert" she declared feeling three sets of eyes on her.
None of them noticed Gibbs small grin.
AN: Ok so they were actually meant to get the camp in this chapter but I just kept writing and writing so I had to stop somewhere. I thought here was okay.
PLEASE REVIEW and let me know what you think.
