Aloha, peeps. Thanks for the reviews...really appreciate them. Thankyou so much! It was like a great "good morning" gift!! (probably not for you if you don't live in Aussie like I do). Hope you enjoy Chapter 2! And I guess some of your predications did come true...

Chapter 2

It was 9 at night. Ziva and Jenny had gone and brought 3 pairs of shoes each. Jenny also brought herself a new dress, made of silk, that she particularly adored. They decided to go to a restaurant and eat dinner, before continuing onto the club, Gamma. They found themselves a table for two, and ordered a few dishes.

"Its a great night tonight, don't you think, Ziva?"

"Yeah, there's a nice breeze and I feel calm yet excited." Ziva leant back to enjoy the 'breeze'.

"Anyway," Jenny decided to change the topic, "How are you and Tony? From the last time we talked?"

" 'You and Tony', Jenny? Why are you referring to us as a couple? I don't even know that Tony cares for me, let alone loves me." Ziva was interrupted when the waitress brought the dishes. Thanking her, Jenny and Ziva began to eat, putting the conversation on hold.

10 pm, Gamma

Tony and Gibbs ordered a cocktail and a glass of bourbon respectively. Tony leaned back in his chair, relaxing after the hard days work. Gibbs surveyed the nightclub, he hadn't been in a nightclub since...well...he couldn't remember. He closed his eyes, failing to see the two women who had just walked in though the nightclub's doors...

Jenny and Ziva sat down on two of the chairs in front of the bar, and each ordered a drink, Ziva had something alcoholic and Jenny had a fruit juice, as she didn't necessarily trust Ziva on the wheel the way home.

"Now, back to our conversation, Ziva. You can't avoid it forever. Tell me about it. You know you love Tony, stop denying it..."

"I don't deny it Jenny," Ziva replied tiredly, "I'm just scared how heartbroken and jealous I would be if he didn't like me, or went out with another of his random girlfriends!"

"Well if he does, Ziva, he's not worth having you. But have you seen DiNozzo recently with a girl other than you?"

"Come to think of it...no!"

"Well then he probably already has the special someone he needs..."

"Well, what about you and Gibbs? And don't you dare lie, I know a special way of telling if you are lying or not." Jenny smiled at the young woman.

"Very well Ziva. Gibbs...can you keep a secret Ziva?" Jenny lowered her voice, "Well, Gibbs kissed me when you left."

"Great, Jenny! I'm pleased for you." The drinks came and the women became quiet, sipping at their drinks. Ziva looked around the bar, absorbing the surrounding, until she spotted two men she was sure to know. She looked closer. It was definitely Gibbs and Tony, and strangely, they both looked quite depressed. Tony seemed to be confessing to Gibbs, and Gibbs seemed to be consoling him. She nudged Jenny.

"Jenny, there's Gibbs and Tony!" Jenny whirled around. Sure enough, she saw Gibbs and Tony, both with drinks in their hand.

"What a day! Gibbs and Tony would actually come out for a drink together?" Jenny's voice was incredulous.

"Did Gibbs ask you out for a drink, Jenny, cause Tony asked me out for one."

"Actually...yes! Tony asked you out? Well that probably explains something of why they're here. Probably mourning over their women."

"You think so, Jenny?"

"Well, it looks like it to me. Look how Tony looks so depressed, and how Gibbs comforts him. Something must be really troubling him..."

"...I really love her, Gibbs. Yet she treats me so...indifferently. She...she, she seems like she wants to shoot me half t...the time. How can I tell her?" Tony had his heads in his hands. Gibbs patted Tony's back.

"I have that problem myself, Tony. How do I tell Jenny that I love her? She rejected me all those years back, left me. I...I went off with Stephanie, but no one, not even Stephanie would replaced the two women I ever loved truly, Shannon and Jenny." Gibbs sighed, looking down beaten and old.

"Do you mind that Ziva and I are breaking Rule 12...if we ever get to that stage?"

"Well...I guess not. If she doesn't affect your work, well then I guess its fine. I only made rule 12 up because of Jenny's departure. My grief was so deep that it affected everything. People were saying that they couldn't come near me for ages" Gibbs stared into the distance, smiling wistfully. He saw a redhead sitting there, with a girl with dark hair sitting beside her. This immediately caught his attention as red-heads always did. Strangely, they were staring at him. He looked carefully, then immediately recognised them. Jenny and Ziva. Who-else?

"Tony, Tony, Tony. Hey, DiNozzo!!" Gibbs head-slapped DiNozzo to get his attention.

"Huh...boss...I mean Gibbs...what was that for. Yeah?" DiNozzo was clearly beginning to get a hangover.

"Look over there." A bleary-eyed Tony looked to where Gibbs pointed, then gasped.

"Our women, Gibbs, what are they doing here?" The hangover symptoms seemed to disappear momentarily.

"Lets go and find out."
