The elevator dinged and opened it's doors and Abby stepped out followed by Ziva. Tony stepped out a second later carrying multiple bags and with a large smile on his face. He had enjoyed their shopping trip much more then either of the women. There was just something so satisfactory about telling Ziva what she could and couldn't buy. At one point Abby had had to step in before Ziva could hit him after he had told her that "No little wife of mine would wear that." He had been threatened to an inch of his life if he ever referred to her as "His little wife" again. He smirked as he walked back to his desk; he had a feeling that this was going to be a fun assignment.
"Oh good, you're back." McGee said as he walked into the bullpen. "I've got everything set up and ready to go. We'll meet here tomorrow morning to ride over with the movers. I've have your new Id's here." He tossed new wallets over to Tony and Ziva.
"Eugene? Are you kidding me McDork? Do I look like a Eugene to you?" Tony ranted once he had opened his wallet. Ziva and Abby started to laugh. "I don't know why you're laughing Sweet Cheeks. Why don't you take a look see at your new name honey?" Tony said deliberately to Ziva.
Ziva opened her new wallet. "Muffy?" She whirled to face McGee. "Muffy?" She stomped over to stand in front of him eyes flashing. "Muffy is a name meant for a blond bambo who has no brain in her head! I am not a Muffy!"
"Uh, it's Bimbo." McGee said nervously.
"I do not care what it is McGee, you will change this and you will do it now!"
"No time for that David." Said Gibbs as he walked into the bullpen. "You're going to have to make due. I need you and Eugene over there to go canvass the neighbourhood. You need to go pop in to your new house and make like you're planning decorating schemes. The sooner this guy sees you move in the sooner he'll make a move."
McGee shot a grateful look at Gibbs and backed away from Ziva. "Uh boss, I took the liberty of setting up an appointment with an interior decorator this evening for Eugene and Muffy Smith. She'll be meeting them at the house at 7."
"An interior decorator!" Abby exclaimed brightly. "McGee do we get an interior decorator too? Do you think she would do a black room? I've never met an interior decorator before."
"Uh sorry Abbs. We want to remain as inconspicuous as possible for only Tony and Ziva get to meet with the decorator. We need to have people see them and know them."
"Well that's no fun." Abby sulked for a moment. "Although it would be less fun to have some deranged murderer coming after me. I really don't know how you can deal with this kind of stuff." She finally said turning to look at Ziva. "Don't you find it creepy to purposely set out to have someone try and kill you?"
"No one's killing anybody." Gibbs said as he took a long drink of his ever present coffee. "You're going to be perfectly safe Abby. Muffy over there can take care of herself."
"I'm not worried about me Gibbs." Abby replied as Ziva narrowed her eyes at being referred to as Muffy. "I just don't want anything to happen to Ziva!"
"Ziva will be fine." Tony exclaimed. "I promise I'll be watching her back the entire time."
"I bet you will." Abby muttered under her breath. Out loud she said "You better Eugene. Or you'll have me to answer to. I'm going to be just down the street you know."
"About that Abby" McGee finally out in. "I have our wedding bands here. Did you want to see them?"
"Do I want to see them? Are roses black McGee? Of course I want to see them!" She rushed over to McGee closely followed by Tony and Ziva who couldn't resist seeing what Tim would pick out for Abby.
McGee pulled a blue Tiffany's box out of his pocket. "I found this down in evidence and I thought of you when I saw it"
Tony leaned in to Ziva and whispered "He thought of her when he saw an engagement ring?" Ziva smirked back at him before turning her attention back to McGee and Abby.
McGee opened the ring box and both females gasped. "McGee it's amazing!" Abby exclaimed quickly taking the rings out of the box and putting them on her ring finger. McGee had picked out a tasteful 1.5 carat Lucinda cut diamond on a platinum ring with a plain narrow platinum band. "Ziva isn't it amazing!"
"They are very nice rings Abby." Ziva replied. "Very practical. Expensive, however they won't draw any attention." She couldn't help but admire how well the rings suited Abby. McGee had done an excellent job at selecting rings that Abby could wear and would love.
"You want to see yours Ziva?" McGee asked after tearing his gaze away from Abby who was still admiring her new rings.
"Give me those McGoo." Tony exclaimed ripping the blue box out of McGee's hand. "Ziva with these rings, I thee wed." He recited as he dropped down to one knee and popped open the box. Both agents' mouths dropped open and then twin looks of revulsion filled there faces.
"What the heck is that McGee?" Ziva finally managed to breath. Both Abby and McGee burst out laughing at the looks on their faces.
"Did you get that recorded?" Abby asked Tim.
"It's all right here." He answered showing her his cell phone.
"McGee, I suggest you tell me what you're thinking before I kill you with this ring!" Ziva exclaimed. Tony was still staring at the ring with a look of disgust.
"Uh, well.."
"It's a ring David. Get over it." Gibbs finally interjected. "DiNozzo why are you on one knee? Something you two need to tell me? And for crying out loud shut your mouth already."
"Gibbs, it's a monstrosity!" Tony pleaded. "It's going to blow our cover for sure. There's no way in hell I would have ever picked out something so hideous."
"He's right Gibbs." Ziva added. "Just look at these!" She walked the rings over to where Gibbs was standing after grabbing them out of Tony's hand, who had finally decided to come up off his one knee.
"Oh for crying out loud. It's just a ring." He exclaimed after taking a look at it. "It's not going to blow you're cover. You're supposed to be rich. Rich people wear big rings."
"It's not just big." Tony spit out. "It's ugly." He and Ziva exchanged looks of panic when they realized that Gibbs wasn't going to cave. McGee had chosen a 4 carat circle diamond set into a platinum band and then surrounded with diamonds. The band had diamonds encrusted the entire way around and was coupled with a diamond encrusted wedding band. "Just looking at it makes my eyes hurt!"
"Let it teach you a lesson then DiNozzo. Never play a prank on a co-worker if you're not prepared for the consequences. Now put those on and get out of here. You have a decorator to meet in an hour!"
Ziva reluctantly placed the rings on her ring finger and then glared at McGee. "Don't think I will forget this McGee." She threatened as she grabbed her stuff and headed for the elevator.
Tony quickly placed his own platinum band on his finger and made to follow Ziva out of the building. "There will be payback McGee. Don't ever think for a second that you'll get away with this one." He gave one last glare at McGee before the elevator doors closed behind him.
"Go home and get some rest you two." Gibbs said before grabbing his stuff and heading for the elevator. "It's going to be a long day tomorrow."
"Well Amy, how about I give you a lift home and we can go over some of our personal details?"
"Sounds good to me Edward. I have to ask though, where on earth did you ever find such an ugly ring?"
"It was in evidence Abbs. A drug dealing case." They shared a grin as they headed for the door.

Hey Everyone-
I just want to thank you for all the positive reviews. This is pretty much my first actual story and I wasn't sure if it would be any good! As far as the rings go if you want to see what they look like you can go to the Tiffanys website. Abby's was the Lucinda Rectangular and Ziva's was the Jean Schlumberger Engagement ring. (I apologize if you actually like that one.)
Anyway keep the reviews coming...let me know if there's anything that sucks or if there's anything you would really like to see in the story~
Thanks
