A/N: I'm back from the land of the dead (or known to me as the land of the unmotivated and/or busy)! I am sooooo busy! This week I have band every day during and after school and all day Saturday and Sunday! I wont be able to sleep later than 8 o'clock for the next 33 days (I have a count down started). I really would LOVE to thank Jen-Ncis- Lover for her help. I've had the first part of this story saved on my laptop for like the past 3 months but have never her the time to finish it. I'll be putting up one last chapter bu tI have no idea when I will have the time to do it.
They arrived at Blizzard Beach ten minutes after leaving Typhoon Lagoon. Since the park had been open for most of the morning already, it was fairly crowded. On the way there, Abby had said that they all had to get their swimsuits on and had to get in line for the Teamboat Springs.
"Come on, guys!" Abby said as she threw her stuff down on a table they had chosen to keep their stuff on. Everybody else put their stuff down and followed her to where she lead them to the line.
"You've got to be kidding me! It's going to take like an hour to get to the top of the line!" Tony complained leaning on the hand railing.
"If we don't wait in line now, it will just be longer later today when it get even warmer out! Stop complaining," Ziva said as she elbowed him in the ribs cause him to groan and everybody else in their group to laugh.
"What is this ride anyway, Abby?" McGee asked genuinely interested in her choice of ride.
"The longest white water raft ride in the world! We can all ride in one raft and it is going to be awesome!" she said very excitedly.
"How do you know all this stuff about Disney?" Tony asked.
She simply looked at him and shrugged her shoulders, "How people learn anything: Google."
Fifteen minutes later, they were getting in there raft. "See Tony, it only took twenty minutes," Ziva said.
"Twenty minutes one could have been on other water slides that have no line!"
"Shut up and get in the raft, DiNozzo." Gibbs said slapping the back of his head earning him a weird look from the lifeguard, not that he care what others thought of him.
When they were all in, the lifeguard pushed there raft off and they started down a windy and splashy path. When they hit the first corner, Tony grabbed the edge of the raft and leaned into the turn. They went slightly higher that they probably would have, so he told everybody to do it on the next turn. They all leaned on the next turn and they went way up the side and got a lot more speed. After lots more turns and leaning, they reached the end, or what they thought was the end because they had slowed down a lot. The turned a slow corner and went right under a barn house that had a "broken roof" that "melting snow" was leaking through. Everybody in the raft got wet going under the barn and the worst part, it was really cold water. After that they got to the end of the ride and exited the raft.
They were all standing at the end of the ride when Tony pulled Ziva's arm and pulled her towards another ride. Five minutes later after Abby, McGee, and Gibbs had stopped arguing about what they should do McGee asked, "Where did Tony and Ziva go?"
"Probably off to find a secluded corner to make out in," Abby said giggling. McGee gave her a confused look and Gibbs gave her one that was either of anger, annoyance, or both.
"Relax, Gibbs. I was just kidding!" Abby said playfully. "Now I wanna go on a body slide. It seems like they have a lot of them here!"
"Lead the way," said McGee.
Meanwhile, Tony and Ziva were getting ready to ride the Downhill Double Dipper. It is two parallel body slides that you can race on. "I bet I can beat you to the bottom!" Tony yelled as he pushed off of the start leaving Ziva behind.
A handful of seconds later, both of them shot out the bottom of the slide into a pool. 'Ha! I beat you!" Tony shouted in victory.
"Because you cheated by getting a head start!" Ziva shot back.
"Face it, Zi, I'm always going to win! I'm heavier to the gravity will pull me down the slide faster."
"The one and only reason to be proud of your weight." Ziva said smirking.
"Hey!"
"I'm kidding Tony. I love your blubber." Ziva said.
"How is it that you don't know what a contraction is, even though you do use them now, but you can make my belly fat sound like a good thing?" Tony said getting close to her and grabbing her around the waist and pulling her to him for a kiss.
Right after their lips met they heard a whistle blow. They turned and saw a life guard telling them to get out of the pool because they were holding up the line. They exited the pool laughing at how much like teenagers they were acting.
Two hours later and several dozen trips down body slides, they met up the other three members of their group.
"Have you been on the Toboggan Racers yet?" Tony asked them.
"No! We were waiting for you to we can all go at once and race."
They went and stood in line and were talking about what they had done so far. "Did you guys go on the ride with the body slides where you can race?" Tony asked.
"Yeah. Did you?" McGee said.
"Yes, and I won! Who won for you?"
"Me, DiNozzo." Gibbs said.
There was a lull in the conversation so they stood in silence for a few more minutes until they made it to the front of the line. They each grabbed a mat and picked a lane to race in. They laid on the mat as they waited of the go ahead from the lifeguard. Once they got the okay, they all pushed off fast. The three guys took the early lead because to their weight while Abby and Ziva were slightly behind. But when they came to a bump in the slide, Abby and Ziva surge ahead because they got more speed of the hill than the guys. In the end, Ziva won with Abby less than a half second behind her with Gibbs coming in third and McGee in fourth and Tony coming last because he REALLY slowed down at the bump.
"Way to go Ziva!" Abby cheered.
"Thanks," Ziva said nonchalantly.
"You cheated!" Tony accused as they started walking someplace.
"Your just jealous because I won because I'm more fit than you!" Ziva said back.
"Sorry to break up the fight but what are we going to de now?" McGee asked.
"Well, the park closes in twenty minutes so I vote we go back to the hotel." Abby said. Everybody agreed.
Twenty minutes later, they were standing in the hallway out side of their rooms. They decided that they would do whatever they wanted for the rest of the evening, it being only six. Gibbs said something about going to the pool and Abby and McGee mysteriously vanished into their room.
"Well, how about we see what else this hotel has to offer?" Tony asked as they started walking around the circle around the lake.
After a few minutes of walking, Ziva said, "This is nice."
"What?" Tony asked.
"This. Us. I don't know. Being able to walk around outside at night under the stars with someone and not having it be awkward." She said trying to explain a very unexplainable feeling. Tony grabbed her had in his as they walked.
"Do you wanna find some lounge chairs at the pool and lay down and watch the sky?" Tony asked.
Ziva didn't say anything but started walking toward one of the lap pools. "I always loved laying outside at night as a child went we went out of the city every summer. I haven't had the chance to do it in a while because it seems like I'm always in a city. I am right now I suppose." she said as they laid down next to each other by the quiet pool.
"We're still in a big city but maybe having an amazingly charming and not to mention incredibly handsome star gazing partner."
"Really? I didn't think the noise coming from the pool was that charming and that tree over there isn't that handsome." She said jokingly.
"Oh, I'm hurt that you wouldn't think of me." He said looking like a kicked puppy.
"I'm kidding!" She said thinking he was serious she slapped his side.
"I know, I just like to mess with you," Tony said hitting her back, lightly.
"Trust me, I've noti-A shooting star!" Ziva said pointing to the sky where there was, in fact, a shooting star..
"Make a wish!" Tony said closing his eyes.
"I already have. What did you wish for?"
Tony sat up in his lounger and leaned over Ziva and cupped her face and kissed her. They kissed for a while before they heard a cough and turned to look at a married couple with two young kids that came to use the pool.
"Sorry." Tony muttered turning back to Ziva. "That, by the way, was what I wished for."
"Then you wasted a wish."
"How so?"
"A kiss from me is something you can just ask for, not wish for." Ziva said sincerely. It's amazing how a walk around a lake trying to find something to do can turn into a romantic evening star gazing.
Tony his head to look at Ziva who was still looking at the sky. As if she could sense that he was looking at her, she turner to look at him. "What's wrong? You look sad." Tony said.
"I was just thinking. When we leave tomorrow, will things ever be the same."
"Well, no. Before we weren't dating, but when we go back we will be."
Ziva sat up in frustration. "Not that. I mean, will we ever be like this again, as care free as we are now? Because to me it feels like we will fall apart went we go back to work and it wont feel as special as it does now."
Tony was shocked. First, he never thought that Ziva would ever admit that much emotion in one, no wait, two sentences. Second, he wasn't sure why she was having doubts about their relationship in the future.
"Ziva, I promise that our relationship with never crash and burn. I can't guarantee we will stay the same as we are now because there is no pressure and we both know there will be lots of pressure back in DC. But I also promise that I will try and keep this relationship as close to this as I can." Tony said really think about what he was saying really not want to lose one of the best things that has ever happened to him because of a doubt.
"Thank you Tony. I-um… I love you." Ziva said very hesitantly.
Tony heard what she said, sat looking at her a few seconds, got off his lounger, sat next to her on hers, whispered "I love you" in her ear, picked her up bridal style, and carried her back to their room.
A/N2: Yes, I realized that the last part was really cheesey and OOC and that the ending of each chapter all seem the same but I kinda ran out of creative ideas after spend 4 hours making a powerpoint on ancient Egypt. PLEASE REVIEW!
