Note: sorry it has been a while since I last updated my story. I have been SUPER Busy with studying. I have a few comments on season 9 so far.

GET MOSELY OUY! I mean seriously, what is she Even doing on the show? She doesn't fit into the show. And Harley Hidoko she is just there to take over Nell and Annas spot in the field. That episode where Sam and Hidoko were trapped inside an interrogation room and almost got burned. THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NELL and Sam. I REALLY DON'T LIKE THEM!

BRING HETTY BACK!

Nell and Anna in the field instead of Mosley and Hidoko.

Not all shitstorm: I like the storylines so far and I Loved the 200th episode and the storyline with Nell's sister. And the finish up storyline with Joelle.

This is the last chapter of my Thanksgiving story. Hope you enjoy it. Please comment.

Post scene in the armory with Eric and Kensi.

Eric and Kensi walk out of the armory together.

"so do you any exciting plans for Christmas? Kensi asks Eric as they walk into the hallway.

"actually." Eric stops. He has a big smile on his face. "I am going on a date." Kensi looks surprised at her friend.

"really oh my god that is so great Eric. With who?" Kensi is happy for her friend.

"hmm.. actually…" Eric starts getting nervous. "with Nell." Kensi looks surprised.

"really?" Kensi realizes that her response didn't sound right. "I'm so happy for you two. It didn't know you two was a thing."

"we are not. I just asked her out over Thanksgiving. So we will see how it goes. I mean… I hope it goes well… I really like her."

Kensi places a hand on his should.

"I think it is going to be great. You two are really amazing together."

"thanks, Kens. That means a lot." Eric gets a text from Nell. She needs him back in ops.

"sorry, I gotta go. Well, you be at the party tonight?" Eric asks before he has to rush up to ops.

"sure."

"I'll see you then," Eric says before he runs up the stairs to ops. Kensi is left in the hallway smiling, thinking about Eric and Nell on a net. It actually makes sense.

Post episode at the Christmas party

After Kensi's little daydream about kicking Annas ass, everyone seems to enjoy the Christmas party. Well, maybe almost everyone. Kensi has noticed Eric seems less joyed at the party then he usually does at the office Christmas party. He is usually the one that just keeps going. Nell, on the other hand, seems to enjoy the party very much. Kensi walks over to Nell, who is standing at the table with the eggnog. "want a glass Kens?" Nell asks while she is pouring a glass for her self.

"yes please," Kensi says and hands Nell her empty glass. Nells fills up Kensis cup and the walk over to the staircase and takes a seat on the stairs.

"so are you going on the date?" Kensi asks with a teasing smile. Nell look confused at her.

"what are you talking about? I am not going on any date."

"don't worry I haven't told anyone about it so you don't have to hide it," Kensi says with a teasing smile.

"I honestly don't know what you are talking about, Kens," Nell says.

"your big date with Eric." Kensi nods towards Eric who is sitting on the couch talking with a tech guy. Nell look confused.

"what are you talking about. We are not going on a date."

"didn't he ask you to go with him to some Christmas thing?" Kensi asks, now confused about Eric's excitement when he earlier in the day had told Kensi about his date with Nell.

"yes the Charles Diggens fair, but… we are not going because I have been accepted to a mentorship program that starts in the weekend."

"that explains why he doesn't look very excited anymore," Kensi says.

"but it wasn't a date. We were just going to hang out as friends." Nell explains.

"he never said it was a date, did he?" Kensi asks. Knowing all to well her goofy, geeky friend in OPS."

"no, he didn't," Nell says. Feeling a little embarrassed about dumping Eric, when he had finally worked up the courage to ask her out. Even though he hadn't really told her it was a date." I can't believe he asked me on a date, without actually asking me on a date." Nell says.

"you know. Deeks did that to me too, you know. He asked me if I wanted to grab something to eat after work and he took me to a really nice restaurant instead of the usual burger place." Kensi and Nell start laughing about their partner's inability to really ask a girl out.

"well…" Nell says when she stops laughing. "that would explain why he took it so hard when I told him I couldn't go. He took it harder then he usually does."

"he really likes you, Nell. It took him a long time to work up the courage to actually ask you out. He thought he didn't really do it. I think he really seriously meant it." Kensi places her arm around Nell.

"I know. And I screwed up. I dought he is going to give it a second chance." Nell sounds sad.

"you should ask him," Kensi says. Nell look confused at Kensi.

"I'm serious. It is the 21. Century. A girl can ask a guy out." Kensi says. Nell nods. Maybe she should try and make it up to him for dumping him.

"I guess," Nell says.

"and without more eggnog." Kensi takes away Nell's glass. She already feels a little light headed. It is probably not a good idea to get more eggnog, before making it up to Eric. Nell looks over at Eric who is now standing at the buffet talking with Anna, Callen, Deeks, and Sam. "come on. You can take down bad guys twice your size. You can do this." Nell nods.

"okay." They both stand up and walk over to their colleagues. Nell walks over behind Eric and grabs his hand to get his attention. "I need to talk to you." Eric nods and they walk away from the rest of the group. They walk up the stairs to find a private spot.

"whats up?" Eric asks still smiling at a joke Deeks just told them before Nell and Kensi came over.

"you know Deeks just told us this really funny…" "Eric." Nell cuts him off before he gets to finish.

"yeah. What is going on? You are making me nervous." He says looking at his hesitant friend. He is usually the nervous one in their friendship.

"I just talked to Kens."

"year I saw that. It is great to have her back."

"about you." Eric looks confused at her. He is used to it is never a good thing when two girls talk about him. "she told me that us, going to the Dickens fair was supposed to be…" Nell finds it difficult to actually say the word. " a date." She finishes. Eric is embarrassed. Realizing that he didn't actually ask Nell on a date and that she had to hear it from Kensi. Kensi? That probably meant that Deeks knew too. And soon everyone in the office would know that he couldn't even ask a girl on a date without forgetting to tell her it was a date.

"I'm sorry Nell. I totally understand you don't want to go with me when I screw up like that. I… I should have told you it was a date. I'm sorry."

"I didn't cancel because I didn't want to go. I only canceled because of the mentorship program."

"don't worry I won't ask you again." He clearly didn't hear what she just said.

"Eric." Nell takes his hand to cut off his nervous blabbing.

"I really do want to go."

He looks up from his feet that he has been staring at. "wait you mean… you actually want to go on a date with me?" there is a tiny bit of hope in his voice.

"yes." A big smile spreads on his face.

"Kensi told me had told her about it." Eric feels a little embarrassed about telling Kensi.
"Well… it was just."

"it is okay." Nell gives him a big hug. "so what do you have plans for the new year. Maybe we could spend new years eve together." Eric breaks the hug and looks surprised at Nell.

"Are you asking me out?" He asks surprised.

"it is the 21. Century a girl can ask a guy out, you know." Nell uses Kensis word and smiles at Eric. Eric doesn't answer right away. "or are you an old-school fashion kind of guy who can't let a girl ask you out?" Nell teases him to make him stop staring at her.

"no not at old. I would love to spend new years eve with you on a real date." He says with a big smile and emphasizes the word date.

"then that is a date," Nell says to seal the deal. Shortly after they share a big hug, Kensi yells at them to come down and share some eggnog with the rest of the team. Nell and Eric walk down the stairs together. Eric carefully places his hand on Nells back. She doesn't seem to mind. He has a good feeling about the new year to come.
