Abby smiled at McGee as they drove to the studio.

"Isn't this going to be great, Timmy? We're all going to be on an island somewhere and we'll get to do fun challenges and build a shelter and-"

"Abby, you have seen Survivor, right? I was watching a couple episodes last night, and it seemed pretty mean-spirited." He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel nervously.

"Of course I've seen it! But it'll be fun! Me and you and Gibbs and Tony and Ziva! We'll all be together. I mean, sure, we won't be able to see Ducky and I'll miss my lab, but we'll have fun!"

"But we'll have to vote people out, right? What's going to happen then? Gibbs is gonna kill me no matter what happens!" McGee gripped the steering wheel more tightly.


"I don't know, Lanie. I mean, what if we loose a challenge? Who are we going to vote off?" Esposito had his face pressed against the car window and was running his head through his hair.

"C'mon babe, it'll be fine. We'll figure something out." Lanie looked at him sympathetically.

"But what if Beckett-"

"Javier! I'm trying to drive!"

Esposito was quiet for the rest of the trip.


"Ugh. What time is it?" Beckett groaned, her eyes shut tight.

"Ach!" Her eyes shot open.

Castle was sprawled out on the floor, propped up against the side of her bed. He was clutching a bottle of wine in each hand.

"Well", Beckett mumbled. "That's one way to start the 'adventure of a lifetime'."
