"So, what would you like to do next?" Dylan asked after they had finished with their food.
"There's a few things that I have to pick up. Some things that I want to pick up before we head back to my place."
"And where exactly are these things that you want to pick up?"
"The LUSH store in Georgetown." Tali answered.
"Okay, then let's go."
With that; the lovebirds caught a taxi which brought them to where they wanted to go. It wasn't long after they had gotten into the taxi that Tali and Dylan arrived at the Georgetown LUSH. Once they were inside; Dylan picked up a basket and followed Tali around. Tali grabbed a handful of LUSH's paper bags for whichever of the bubble bars and bath bombs that she liked. After she had perused the bubble bars and bath bombs; she moved onto the next section. It was there that she picked up some shower jellies, soap, shampoo and conditioner. Before checking out; the duo had been stopped by a few LUSH associates who were offering their help.
"Is there anything else that you want to pick up?" Dylan asked.
"Yeah; there are a few things that I still want to get before we leave." Tali replied.
About two or so hours later; Tali was walking through the front door of the with her LUSH bags in hand. Before she had closed the front door behind her that evening; Tali said good bye to Dylan with a kiss. It was only when she had turned around that she saw her parents sitting on the couch in full view of where their daughter stood.
"So how was your day?" Ziva asked.
"It was good, Ima; Very good."
"How good is very good?" Tony asked with a worried tone to his voice.
Ziva and Tali knew full well what Tony was getting at.
"I highly doubt anything happened between her and Dylan; Tony."
"Relax, Aba. Nothing happened, I'm still a virgin. We just grabbed a bite to eat and we went to LUSH." Tali said.
With that; Tali headed off to her bedroom with her shopping bags in hand.
"How much do you think that all of that stuff that she bought cost?" Tony asked when it was just him and Ziva.
"Probably a couple hundred dollars."
"What are we gonna do with her?"
"We're just going to keep doing what we're doing." Ziva answered.
Tony and Ziva stayed up a while longer before they turned in for the night. At one point during the night; Tony had woken up for some random reason at the time. After Tony had gotten a drink of tap water, he made his way over to his daughter's bedroom and stood in the threshold and watched Tali sleep.
It seemed like just yesterday that Tony was chasing three year old Tali around the apartment after a round of hide and seek. Fast forward ten years and Tali was a teenage girl who had a boyfriend. The days of childhood fun and laughter were long since gone. Tony was unsure of what the next five to six years had in store but he was willing to be there for them.
