A/N: Thanks for all of the great reviews. I guess I was wrong when I said that it was a bad chapter. Okay, I have skipped the last week of the summer holiday so this is set on the first day back at school. This chapter has a good Tiva moment in it so don't worry.

Disclaimer: I haven't put one on in a while but I don't own NCIS *quietly goes and sobs in a corner*


Ziva's POV

"Ziva! Wake up! You need to get ready for school" someone shouted from downstairs.

I shot up when I realised the owner of the voice. I grabbed a hair band and walked out of my bedroom, pulling my hair into a ponytail. I ran down the stairs, nearly knocking down my Dad in the process.

"Kels! What are you doing here? I thought you were on a business trip in New York for the entire week!" I said, slinging my arms around her neck, giving her a huge hug – not as big as the ones that Abby gives you though.

"it got cut short so I thought I would come home and visit my favourite sister before she starts sophomore year in high school"

"Well your favourite sister is very happy to see her favourite sister too! Is Adam here as well?"

"Yes, he is having a cup of coffee with Mum in the Kitchen. How's Jeanne? Is she still with Tony?"

"Argh, don't get me started. We had a massive fall out 2 weeks ago and haven't been talking. They broke up then too"

"Why did they break up?"

"I don't think that he actually told her they aren't together anymore but he called her a bitch a couple of times and hoped that she got the message that he doesn't want to see her anymore."

"Aww, I hope she is ok"

"Seriously Kels? You might not even like her after I have told you what she did to make me stop talking to her and Tony break up with her" I told her the story that I had told to Abby, Kate and McGee the previous week, not missing out a single detail. Once I had finished she had a angry look on her face. If looks could kill then everyone would be dead.

"That bitch! I knew you too didn't like each other but who thought that she would go this far"

"I know, that's what Tony said and why no one likes her anymore, anyway I need to go and get dressed otherwise I would actually be late for school. I will see you in a few minutes"

I give her another small hug before running up the stairs a couple at a time and go into my room, grabbing my dark blue skinny jeans and a plain black top and put them on.


Tony's POV

I walked up the short distance from my car to Ziva's front door. I knocked and walked right in. ever since freshmen year and I had become best friends with Ziva, Shannon told me to just knock and go in, as long as I told them that it was me and not some intruder. I walked in the living room just in time to see Ziva sliding down the banister rail and jumping off the end when she reached the bottom. I notice the back of someone else's head sat at the kitchen and it was certainly not Jeanne and Shannon's and I couldn't be Ziva's because she was standing right next to me. Fortunately the person turned around and gave me a smile I knew just too well.

"Kelly! Hey how are you? I haven't seen you in ages" She runs up to me and engulfs me in a big hug.

"Hey Tony, I'm great thanks, and you?"

"I'm good thanks. Wait. If you're here does that mean that-"

I didn't need to say anything else as he walked into the living room and brought me into a brotherly hug.

"Hey man"

"Hey Adam, how was New York?"

"Brilliant. Kels trip got cut short so we decided to come and see the family. Hey Ziva"

"Hey Adam" She gives him a small smile and goes into the kitchen to grab her binder and an apple.

"Are you coming DiNozzo? I need a lift and if we don't hurry up we will be late. Again"

"Coming Zi. I will see you too later. Bye Shannon"

I hear a faint shout of a "Goodbye Tony" as I run out of the door and into my car.

I climb into the driver's side and put the key into the ignition. I reach into the back of my car and grab my jersey out of my sports bag and handing Ziva my Jersey. She gives me a quizzical look as she inspects it.

"Well it is the homecoming game on Friday and I would like you too wear it. You are my best friend aren't you?"

"Yes I am your best friend but you have other best friends like Abby or Kate?"

"No Zee-Vah, your my proper best friend, I love Abby and Kate to bits but they are more like my sisters than anything else. So will you wear it?"

"Yes I will"

"Thanks Zi" She puts the jersey into her own school bag and leans her head against the window. I started the car and made my way to school. The drive there was mostly silent apart from Ziva singing along to a couple of the songs on the radio. We pulled up into the school parking lot and make our way to homeroom, sitting at the back as usual.

This was going to be a long day.


A/N: Sorry it's so short. I don't live in America and I don't know when the homecoming game and dance is and I couldn't be bothered waiting for it so I thought I might as well have it that week. There will be a brotherly moment between Adam and Tony and a sisterly moment between Kelly and Ziva in the next chapter. Review please.
