Kate was momentarily stunned she hadn't expected that from him so soon. She suddenly felt like they wouldn't be approved of because she was plain and boring and just human. She realized that she had to say something so she said "that sounds great." They talked for a little bit until Kate had to leave for work.

Kate was riding the elevator with Tony when he suddenly asked her "is everything ok? You seem anxious." "Am I ok" she thought "My vampire boyfriend is flying me halfway across the world tonight so I can meet his family who I'm sure won't approve of me because of my species." "I'm fine Tony." Kate finally said. He stepped closer to her "well just remember to take deep breaths. It helps with nerves." He said before demonstrating the technique and she took a few deep breaths with him. Then the elevator doors opened and a revealed a waiting Abby.

Tony jumped a little when he saw her then said hello and walked to his desk. "What is it Abby?" Kate asked her curiously. "Nothing, I just wanted to say good morning to you." Abby said somewhat suspiciously. "OK then good morning Abby." Kate said not entirely believing her. Kate walked to her desk and sat down "well I've got some other stuff to do. I'll see you later Kate." Abby said cheerfully before heading down to her lab.

Abby got off the elevator and rushed into her lab "see McGee I told you Tony and Kate were together." She said triumphantly. "Abby you didn't prove anything." He said emphatically. "They were on the elevator together." She said desperately trying to get her point across to him. "That doesn't prove anything I ride the elevator with her and sometimes I ride it with Tony or Gibbs that doesn't mean we're in a relationship." "If they're not together than explain to me why they were standing so close and why Kate looked out of breath." She said with a victorious smile on her face. "I don't have an explanation Abby but that doesn't mean their dating." "I'm going to prove to you that their dating." She said with determination.

McGee went back up to the bullpen and saw his co-workers entrenched in paper work. He began on his own he looked at Kate and Tony and thought the idea of them being together was one of the most ridiculous he ever heard. About two hours later he got a text from Abby "Come to lab ASAP" He got up out of his chair and went to her lab.

He walked into the forensics lab almost dreading what was going to happen next. "What is it Abby?" He asked afraid of her answer. "I have proof!" she exclaimed. "Ok what's your proof?" He asked and was again afraid her answer. "Tony's credit card records show that he bought two tickets to New York for this weekend." She said smiling triumphantly. "You went through Tony's credit card records?" he asked incredulously. "It was for good cause." She defended. "It's still wrong." Mcgee said. "I'm going to prove to you that their dating." Abby said dragging him out of the forensics lab.

Mcgee and Abby went back upstairs to the bullpen. "Hey, Kate I was wondering do you have any plans for this weekend?" Abby asked knowingly. "Actually I do have plans." Kate said without thinking. "What about you Tony, do you have plans?" Abby asked again. "Yeah I do I'm heading up to New York." Mcgee gave Abby a disbelieving look. "What's this about?" Kate asked suspiciously. "Nothing" they said in unison. Then Abby jotted off to her lab McGee went back to his desk.

It wasn't until the day was almost over that Kate and Tony dragged Mcgee down to Abby's lab. "OK what's going on with you two?" Kate asked. "What do you mean?" Abby asked innocently. "You two have been acting strange all day." Tony said. "OK you guys we know." Abby said excitedly. "Know what?" Kate asked confusedly. "That you guys are dating." She elaborated. Kate and Tony looked at each other then they both started laughing uncontrollably. "You think I'm dating Tony? That's insane." Kate said trying to stop laughing. "Yeah I love Kate but more like a sister." Tony said regaining control of himself. "But you guys are dating, right?" Abby said feeling completely and utterly like a failure. "No, Abbs we're not I would love to stay here and talk you about it but I've got somewhere I need to be." Kate said then walked out of the lab.

"This is not a plane it's a house that flies." Kate said disbelievingly when she saw the plane her and Ari were taking to Tel Aviv. "Come on let's go." Ari said with a chuckle as he was leading her up the steps to the plane. Once they were inside the plane they sat down and the door was shut. "So, how was your day?" Ari asked her with a smile. Kate then went into detail about everything that happened during the day. When she finished there was a short silence until Kate asked "Ari, do you think your family will like me?" "That's interesting." Ari said almost fascinated by her question. "Why is it interesting?" Kate asked a little confused by his reaction. "Because we're going into a house full of vampires and you're worried about whether or not my family will approve of you." "Ari I'm serious." Kate said feeling insecure.

"They'll like you. I promise." Ari said trying to give her some confidence about this. "How do you know?" Kate asked. "I know because I know them and they'll love you." "You seem really confidant about that." "I am really the only one I should warn you about is my father." "Why should I be worried about him?" "He can be a little-"Ari struggled to find the right word. "Cold, and my sister is probably is going to be a little standoffish don't take it personally she's like that with everyone." "Sounds like an interesting family." "Caitlin you have no idea." Ari said right before he got up and sat down next to her soon after Kate fell asleep on his shoulder. When the plane landed Ari nudged Caitlin awake and they got into a car and headed towards the David mansion.

While Ari and Kate were on their way two women were preparing for their arrival. "Ziva can you chop the onions for me please?" Hasmia Ari's mother asked her while she was putting rolls into the oven. "Yeah, sure" Ziva said then picked up a knife and began to chop the onions her hand was moving so fast it would have been blurry to the human eye "I'm done." Ziva said not 30 seconds later. "Perfect, now add them to the soup." Hasmia said. Ziva walked over to the stove and put the onions into the soup pan. "Why are we making French onion soup?" Ziva asked Hasmia. "Because it's one of your father's favorites and maybe if he has it he'll be more pleasant." She explained. Ziva walked over to Hasmia "how do you feel about Ari dating a human?"

"Ari deserves to be happy and if this girl makes him happy then he should be with her." Hasmia said to Ziva. "Even though it's forbidden?" Ziva asked skeptically. Hasmia sighed "Sometimes when you really care about someone rules cease to matter. Besides I thought you were the one that convinced him to go after her?" "OK I'm having second thoughts. Is that a crime?" Hasmia laughed "Ziva relax everything will be fine. You should stop worrying so much." "I don't worry that much." Hasmia stared at her "Ziva, you've been thirty since you were four." Ziva didn't dispute that life's circumstances forced her to grow up faster than most.

Then they heard a car pull into the drive way "here comes the human." Ziva said with a sarcastic smile. "You be nice." Hasmia warned "I'll do my best." Ziva said with another sarcastic smile. Kate stood in awe of the large mansion the David house was just outside of Tel Aviv. It was surrounded by a beautiful forest intended to block out the sunlight there was also a large gate surrounding property. The house itself looked like a model of old an eastern European mansion. Ari was amused by Kate's reaction "Come on its best not to keep hungry vampires waiting." Ari joked Kate glared at him "I'm kidding." He said then led her through the gate.

As they walked into the house Kate was slightly taken aback by the relatively modern décor. "What is it?" Ari asked noticing her quietness. "It's just not what I was expecting, that's all." She answered. "Let me guess you were expecting coffins and chains and maybe a moat." "Well, not the moat." She answered honestly. "Not the moat." He repeated. They went into the kitchen where Ari's mother and sister were preparing dinner. They stopped what they were doing when they saw Ari and Kate standing in the doorway.

As they walked further into the kitchen Kate looked at the two women and noticed something about them. They resembled Ari in a way but there was something else that made them stand out to her. They were both incredibly beautiful there were also tall and slim. But their beauty stood out to her the most they were easily the two most beautiful women she'd ever seen it made her wonder that if all Moroi woman looked like this why'd Ari want her?

It was ARI who spoke up first "Caitlin this is my mother, Hasmia." He said gesturing to the woman that was standing up. Kate extended her hand "it's nice to meet you. You have a lovely home" Hasmia shook her hand "it's nice to meet you to. But this isn't my house it's their father's." Hasmia said politely. Kate suddenly felt very embarrassed "oh I'm sorry. I just assumed." Kate said apologetically. "That's OK it happens a lot." Hasmia said with a laugh in her voice. Kate then turned to Ziva who was sitting beside Hasmia on top of the island "Caitlin that's my sister Ziva. Ziva that's Catlin." Ari said introducing them. Ziva Jumped down from the island gracefully and was now standing in front of Caitlin. "It's nice to meet you." Kate said shaking Ziva's hand. "It's nice to meet you to." Ziva said with a smile on her face. Ari could tell that this was hard for Ziva but he was grateful that she was making an effort.

Ziva then turned her attention away from the human into her brother "look at what I have." Ziva said in a taunting voice. Ari then noticed the smell of a cherry ring pop even before she put it on the island. "You got this for me? Thanks." He said while stepping closer to the island and trying to grab it. Ziva put her hand over it before he had a chance "not so fast, if you want it you have to earn it." She challenged with amusement in her voice. "Ziva, don't you think that's a little childish?" he reasoned. "Rules are rules unless you're afraid of losing." She taunted. "I'm not afraid because I won't be losing." He retorted. "Then let's do this." Ziva said before moving behind the island and Ari stood on the opposite side and the two got into an arm wrestling position. Hasmia interrupted before they could start "if you two are going to arm wrestle do it outside. You're not breaking this island again." Ari gave Kate a questioning look but she wasn't sure what was happening so she just said "go have fun or whatever." He kissed her on the cheek and said "I'll be back soon." Then before she could even blink Ziva and Ari were gone.

"Can you explain that to me?" Kate asked Hasmia. "When they were little I used to give Ari cherry ring pops and I didn't know Ziva liked them to and apparently she would always ask him for his. One day I guess Ari challenged her to an arm wrestling competition and said that if she won she could have his ring pop. And now every time one of them gets a cherry ring pop they arm wrestle for it." She explained sort of hoping Kate found it as ludicrous as she did. "What did you mean when you said 'you're not going to break this island again?'?" Kate asked curiously. "Oh, that's easy to do with our strength." "Your strength?"

Hasmia looked at her confusedly for a moment "how much did Ari tell you?" she asked. "A lot but to be honest it was a lot of information to absorb in one night." Kate admitted. "Moroi aren't as fast or as strong as strigoi but we are a lot faster and stronger than humans. That's what makes a strigoi stronger and faster than us because they drink our blood." She explained. Kate was little stunned for a moment then she looked out of the large window that was in the kitchen. But she couldn't see anything because the windows were tinted to block the sun and plus it was already late in the night or day considering the vampires nocturnal schedule.

"Ari, Ziva get in here it's almost time for dinner." Hasmia said in a normal voice. "I don't think they could hear you I can go get them if you want." Kate offered. "No, that's alright they could hear me they just are ignoring me." Hasmia said annoyed. No less than 20 seconds later both siblings appeared seemingly out of nowhere "I would never ignore you mom." Ari said innocently. "Yeah, right" Hasmia said sarcastically. Just then Ziva's phone went off with the ring tone God Save the Queen. Ari chuckled "it's your favorite person calling, Ziva you better hurry up and answer it." He said sarcastically. Hasmia joined in "do say hello to her majesty for me." Ziva rolled her eyes and walked out of the room to answer her phone. "I'm confused who was that?" Kate asked.

"That was her majesty Queen Tatiana Ivashkov." Hasmia said regally. "She means our Queen you wouldn't know of her." Ari said seeing Kate's coufusion. "Oh that makes sense" Kate said. Ziva walked back into the kitchen and she looked angry. "What'd she say?" Ari asked with amusement in his voice. "I'm glad you think this is funny because we're going to a party tonight." She said with venom in her voice.
