A/N: Just want to thank you for all of your great reviews and thanks to MauraRizzoli1 for helping me with ideas for all of my stories. Thanks Jenna WARNING: VERY VERY LONG CHAPTER!

Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own NCIS


Ziva's POV

When we reached home, Mum was sat on the sofa with a blanket, reading one of her favourite books. Of course Dad was probably in the basement working on his boat and drinking bourbon.

"Kelly, can we watch a movie? A new one came out last month and I didn't get a chance to watch it in New York"

"I will have to ask Mum but yes we can. Kate, Abby are you staying?"

"Yeh, Shannon told us we could sleep here anyway"

We watch as all four of them disappear into the house as I leaned up to Tony so my lips were right next to his ear. "Did you get your craze for movies from your brother then?"

"Yes, I did actually, when he was 10 and I were 5 he showed me all of my dad's collection, not the rude ones though, obviously"

"Thought so, now come on, I don't want to be the ones that has to sit on the floor"

I grab his arm and pull him inside towards the sofa; I sit him down on one side of the settee so he saved us a spot. I climbed up the stairs and go into my room to get out of my jeans and tee into something much more comfy. I ran back downstairs and sit next to Tony as Adam put the film in and sat down next to Kelly on the other side of the sofa. Kate and Abby had also got their Pyjamas on and were sitting on the air mattress on the floor.


Kate's POV

"Abby, look" I whispered in her ear and pointed to the sofa, behind us.

"Awh, that's adorable" we both turned around to look at the couple again. Halfway through the movie Tony had pulled Ziva into his lap and she had lent her head against his chest. "Has Tony asked her out yet?"

"No, he called me yesterday and said he had finally managed to ask her to homecoming, she said yes so he said he will probably ask then"

"Aww, that is cute"

"Abby, you think that everything is cute. OW" I turned around to see Adam trying his hardest not to laugh. "Tony, tell your brother to stop kicking me in the Back. OW! Seriously"

"Adam, carry on kicking Kate in the back"

I punched him in the knee, right where the bone is which made him yelp and stand up, dropping Ziva on the floor in the process. "Ow Kate, that hurt"

"Ow Tony, thanks for dropping me on the floor"

"Sorry Zi, blame Kate, its her fault anyway because if she hadn't of punched me in the knee I wouldn't have dropped you" He picked her up from the floor and sat down on the sofa again, pulling her back into his lap.

"DiNozzo, shut up it was Adams fault for kicking me in the back"

"You deserved it Kate, you kept on talking to Abby about how cute my brother and Ziva looked and I was trying to concentrate on watching the film"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP PLEASE! I AM TRYING TO GET SLEEP AND YOU WOKE ME UP!"


Tony's POV

We turned around to see Jeanne stood at the top of the stairs in a set of silk pyjamas with her hair in a messy bun. Everything was silent apart from the wind outside the windows and the sound of the movie until Kate spoke up.

"I am sorry Jeanne. Adam kicked me, asked Tony to tell him to stop but he told Adam to carry on kicking me so I punched Tony in the knee cap which resulted in him dropping Ziva onto the floor"

"Well can everyone stop shouting and banging, I need my beauty sleep" she gave me a small, seductive wink.

"But practically anyone who is beautiful in the first place doesn't need their beauty sleep do they?"

I tried my best not to laugh when Ziva said this, I looked at Adam to find he was trying his hardest too.

"Ziva, get off Tony's lap please"

"Why? Do you want to sit on it?" unfortunately for the rest of the girls they couldn't hold their laughter in any longer as a fit of giggles erupted in the room.

"No, but you two aren't dating so why would you be sitting on Tony's lap"

"No, they aren't but Tony did kis-"

"ABBY! Don't you dare!"

"No Abby, if you tell me I will buy you tickets to the Brain Matter concert"

"Tony kissed her" She blurted out as both I and Ziva glared at her.

"WHAT?" We all watched her as she climbed back up the stairs and into her bedroom, slamming the door behind her.

"Thanks a lot, just what we needed" Ziva said.

"I am so sorry you guys but she said she will buy me tickets to the Brain Matter concert and I don't have enough money to buy them myself"

"Abs, she won't buy you them, she only said that to make you tell her. She is just a manipulative evil bitch!"

"ZIVA GIBBS! LANGUAGE" came a voice from the kitchen, presumably Shannon's.

"Sorry Mum" she shouted back before taking the remote from Adams grasp and pressing play again. "Come on, I would at least like to finish watching this film before Christmas please"

She repositioned herself so her head was once again leaning on my chest. The film had just finished when I heard her breaths even out, I look down to see her fully asleep in my arms. I carefully picked her up and carried her up the stairs and into her bedroom, placing her down on her bed. I draped the covers over her and kissed her on the forehead before turning her light off.

"Goodnight Ziva" I muttered before walking back out of her room, quietly shutting her door behind me. I walked downstairs to see Kate and Abby laying on the mattress talking about something girly that I wouldn't understand at all. "Night guys, im going home. Abs can you please tell Ziva that I will pick her up at 7 tomorrow?"

"Will do, bye Tony"

"Bye Katie"

"Bye DiNozzo" I gave them both a huge grin as I pick up my jacket and slip my trainers on, walking out of the door and down the driveway to my car.

I kissed Ziva. Was all I could think of.


Ziva's POV

The next day I woke up to find myself not leaning on Tony anymore but lying in my own bed. I swung my legs to the side and climbed out, walking over to the closet I opened up one of the doors to reveal my homecoming dress that was hanging from it. I had gone dress shopping last week with Kate and Abby earlier in the week and had bought a deep wine colour, strapless dress. It was tight – fitted around the chest and waist but flowed freely from there and it came up to my knees. We had decided to each get a short dress for the homecoming dance and then a long dress for prom. We had all got ones that came up to our knees and they were all strapless. Abby's was a plain black dress that was also tight – fitted around the chest and waist but flowed down to the knees. Kate had chosen a royal blue dress that was the same style as Abby's.

I quickly get changed into some cargo pants and a black tank top and go downstairs to find Abby and Kate still asleep. I look at the clock to see what time it is before going in the kitchen to get something to eat. 7:30, Kate will be up in a bit. I go over to the fridge and find a note stuck to it.

Girls,

Jethro has gone to work so if you have an emergency and you can't reach me ring his work phone. I've gone to the supermarket so if you need anything ring my mobile. I will see you later.

Shannon.

I let out a deep sigh as I open the fridge and pull out the orange juice and milk. I grab the coco pops from the counter and pour them into a bowl with some milk, I take a glass out of the cupboard and pour some orange juice Into that. By the time I have started to eat Kate had woken and sat down to eat some breakfast.

"Ziva, can I ask you something?"

"Yeh sure, go on"

"How do you know you like someone?"

"I don't know really, you smile around them a lot and you always seem to feel better and happier when they are there. You know how I have always liked Tony?" she nodded her head "Well ever since that Thursday when he slept at mine and we watched a movie together I have just been happier because ever since that we have been hanging out every day and at the end of all that then they might start to like you too, if you act yourself around them and don't be some fake then they will know the real you and people like that better. Why? Who do you like?"

"You know the boy who is in our Spanish that sits at the back of the class and is always quiet around other people that he doesn't like?"

"You like Ari Haswari?"

I see her biting her lip and gently nodding her head. I can tell that she's scared about it because Ari can be quiet but if anyone hurts him or his friends then they will regret it. He takes martial arts and helps teach me. You can tell that she really likes him when she looks at him and when he looks back at her you can tell he has feelings for her too. Unfortunately they can't tell that they like each other so I pull out my phone and text a quick 911 to Tony and McGee, asking them to come over as soon as possible. I smiled once I had got the replies saying they will be there within 10 minutes. All we had to do now was wake Abby up and get her a CAF – POW to make sure she's awake and can function properly.

McGee was the first one to come, equipped with a mega large CAF – POW he walked over to Abby and gently shook her awake. She stirred a bit but woke up fully when Tony barged into the house playing Brain Matter.

"Tony, turn it off! Why are you listening to that anyway? I thought you hated brain matter"

"I don't Zee-vah but I know what Abby's like in the morning and she normally only wakes up with Brain Matter playing so I wanted my favourite Goth to be happy"

"Thanks Tony that helped, oohh CAF –POW, thank you Timmy" she gives him a small hug before she turns back to us, slurping her drink. "So what are you both doing here?"

"Ziva sent us a 911, actually why are we here Zi?"

"Well Tim, Kate has a little crush on someone and we are going to help her get him. The only problem is that he has walls built and hardly speaks to anyone"

"Who do you like Katie?"

"She likes Ari Haswari, he is in mine and Kate's Spanish class and he also teaches me martial arts."

"Whoa, Ari?"

"Yes Tony, Ari" I snapped.

"Wow I never knew Kate to like a boy, I thought she was a lesbian"

"Shut up Tony or I will cut something off and you will not like it very much" I glance down at his balls and he immediately gets the message and moves his hands to cover them up. I look back up at his face to see his mouth is open and his eyes are wide.

"No, no you cannot cut off my balls Ziva" I give him a small smirk as I tell him to sit down with everyone else.

"So, we all need to figure out a plan to get Ari and Kate dancing together at the dance, they will realise how much they like each other and then BAM! We have ourselves the new latest couple"

"you called us round here at 8:30 in a morning for that? Come on, Kate will probably chicken out anyway" I roll my eyes and notice that he has a big bruise forming on his knee from where Kate had punched him yesterday. With one swift movement I kicked him when the bruise was and made him yelp in pain and the rest of us burst into laughter. He let out a sigh and got back up from the floor. I had been talking to Kate about how we should do her hair when Tony grabbed my waist and tickled me until I also fell to the floor, pulling him along with me. We both yelped when we hit the floor, especially Tony as he hit the floor and then had me fall on top of him. We rolled round the room, tickling each other until we had enough and collapsed in a heap on the sofa. I turned around to face him and held out a hand for him to shake.

"Truce?"

"Truce" he grabbed my hand but instead of shaking it, he pulled me into a big bear hug. Abby had joined after a couple of seconds and after a few minutes we were all in a massive group hug with me in the middle.

"Tony! Let go, I can't breathe. Anyway me and the girls need to get ready for tonight so please can you and Tim leave?"

"You need eight hours to get ready? I'm only picking you up at seven and its ten now"

"What?" I looked at the clock to see that it indeed read 10am. "No but we need to go to the mall to get shoes and that so bye" I said whilst basically pushing out of the door.

"Bye you lot, Kate I will text Ari and tell him that you love him don't worry about it"

"You better not DiNozzo!"

He began to say something else but was cut off when the door slammed shut in his face. We all went back into the kitchen so Abby could also get something to eat whilst me and Kate tidied up. Once we had done we had all gotten changed with me in the same tank top I had put on this morning but I wore some skinny jeans instead of cargo pants, I grabbed my jacket and bag from the coffee table and went outside where Kate and Abby were standing, locking the front door on my way out. Abby was in a Brain Matter band top with a red and black mini skirt and platform boots. She had her hair in pigtails, just like it is any other day. Kate was wearing skinny jeans just like me with a black and white tee, her hair was pulled up into a ponytail as I had took mine out and let my hair be free.

20 minutes and 1 bus ride later we all arrived at the mall and went into Office to try and find some shoes for the dance. We all decided to wear black high heels as they went with all of the dresses. Abby had bought some with a thin heel s, they were plain with a strap over the middle of the foot as me and Kate had both bought heel wedges.

"Where do you want to go to lunch?" I turn around to see no one there. "Abby, Kate?"

"Calm down they are over there" I turn back around to see Tim stood next to me with his hand out, pointing to a table in Starbucks. "I will see you later Ziva"

"Thanks Tim, bye" I run over to the table and sit down next to Kate. "Where did you go? When I couldn't find you Tim told me"

"Wait Timmy was here?"

"Yes Abby Tim was here; he had a bag from the game store upstairs so I guess he was getting the new world of war craft game. Does anyone know what time it is?"

"1:20"

"Thanks Kate, do you want to get going now so we can get ready?"

"Sure I want a coffee and I'm sure Abby will like a CAF – POW too. Do you want anything Zi?"

"Coffee please"

"Coming right up, will be back in a minute" she goes off and joins the back of the queue in the coffee shop as I turn to Abby.

"You really like him don't you?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"McGee, Abs. You really like him. I can tell by the way you look at him and also how whenever he tells you that you look really pretty today which is practically every day, you get a slight blush on your cheeks. Also I can hear the happiness in your voice whenever you speak of him"

"Ok fine, yes I really like him. I've liked him basically for ever but I don't think he likes me too. We kissed once in fifth grade but we spoke nothing of it and carried on being best friends"

"Can I tell you something?" I paused, waiting for her answer. When she didn't say anything, just nod I took that as an approval for me to carry on. "He does like you Abs, honestly the way you look at him is the same way he looks at you so I reckon you should tell him how you feel at the dance tonight"

"Really? You think I should?"

"Yeah I do"

"Ok, I will do, what about you and Tony?" I felt the blood rush to my cheeks and tried to hide it by turning around to look at the clock that was on the wall facing the coffee shop. "I saw that Ziva, no point trying to hide it"

"Damn it, anyway we only kissed, twice. I've liked him since sixth grade remember but when he went out with Wendy Miller, do you remember her? The one with blonde hair and glasses? Well I was quite disappointed so I went out with Michael Rivkin instead to try and get my mind off him. We went out for a while and I thought I was starting to love him but when Tony broke up with Wendy and started going out with my sister I knew I couldn't last seeing him every day, especially making out with Jeanne so I got depressed and broke up with Michael. Then a couple of weeks ago him and Jeanne broke up and now we are here talking about how he kissed me – twice at last night's football game. So there is your answer I have and probably always will like Tony" I had just finished talking when Kate came back with a cup holder and a bag of what looked like doughnuts. If Tony was here now he would have snatched that bag of doughnuts and scoffed them right away. Shut up Ziva you are here with your friends so stop thinking about Tony and carry on having a good time.

"Ziva?"

"What?" I snapped only just realizing how mean that sounded. "I'm sorry Kate, I didn't mean to snap"

"No worries I was just saying that your coffee and Doughnut are there" she pointed down onto the table where my coffee and a chocolate covered doughnut laid. "Shall we get going so we can make sure you look even more beautiful and Tony can finally admit that he is in love with you?"

"KATE!"

"Shoot, sorry Ziva, you weren't meant to know"

"It's fine Kate, honestly. I know anyway"

"WHAT?" they both shouted.

"You know the pool party last weekend? Well underneath my bikini there was a card and a necklace. I weren't planning on looking at them but I got a little bit too curious so I looked at them and inside the card it said; to my crazy, beautiful Ninja. Have a great Birthday Zi, Love you. Love from Tony with three kisses. I then looked at the necklace and it said I love you on it so to be honest I think he got the message across clearly"

"Wow. Do you want to know how long he has had that in his draw for?" I furrowed my eyebrows. I knew he hadn't got it the day he broke up with Jeanne but I didn't know when he actually did get it. I slowly nod my head and wait for her answer "Ever since sixth grade" my eyes moved from being narrow to being wide. Tony has liked me for four years and hasn't said anything? That's why he was acting weird when I was going out with Michael.

"Wow" was all I said before I picked up my doughnut and coffee and walking out of the coffee shop and out of the mall all together and head towards the bus stop. After a couple of minutes I hear two people running with heavy footing. I whirl around to see Abby panting for breath and Kate with pink cheeks due to having to run and catch up with me. "Thank you for finally joining me" I said with my best serious look on my face before he turned into a huge grin.

"If you hadn't of gone then we wouldn't have to be running to try and catch you up"

"Sorry Abs, let's go" I chuck my empty coffee cup into the nearest trash can and climb the bus behind Kate with Abby just behind me. We all show him our return tickets and make our way to go and sit on the back seats. When we are sat down I turn to Abby and ask what she is doing with her hair for the dance.

"I'm thinking of having it just down and straight with the two bits at the side pinned back. Kate?"

"Just naturally I think. I think Ziva's right that if you act fake then people won't know and like you for you they will like you for someone you're not. What about you Zi?"

"Do you think you could lightly curl mine Abs? I will keep it the way it is but just define the curls so they don't go all wild"

"Course I will. I will do your hair and Kate can do your make – up. What do you think?"

"I think that tonight will be amazing"

"Me too" Kate said, giving us a toothy grin.

"Me three" Abby chipped in whilst practically jumping up and down with excitement.

Four and a half hours later we were all in our dresses with our hair and make – up done. We came downstairs to see Mum and Dad sat on the sofa watching some movie that Tony would have probably seen millions of times. When they heard us coming down the stairs they whipped their heads just in time to see me descending them. I heard Mum gasp and saw a small tear trickle down her cheek, when Dad wiped it away I pretended not to notice the one in the corner of his eye which he made sure it didn't fall.

"Mum, Dad. Don't cry" I go over to Mum and give her a big hug.

"They are happy tears darling. Very happy tears. You look beautiful; all three of you look beautiful"

"Thank you Shannon" Kate said, giving her a small smile which she gladly returned. I turn to my Dad and give him a big hug too as he whispers in my ear "you look gorgeous Ziver"

"Thanks Dad" I grab my coat and my purse just as the doorbell rang signalling that Tony and Tim were here. Mum goes over to let them in and by the look on Tony's face when he saw me I am guessing he liked my dress. His chin was nearly hitting the floor when I moved over to him and brought his head up so he could meet my gaze.

"Tony, my heads up here, not down there"

"Sorry, you just look. Well. Um. Wow!"

"Thanks" I give him a small peck on the cheek and take his hand in mine, entwining our fingers together. I couldn't help but notice how perfect they fit together as I walked out of the door bidding my Mum and Dad goodbye and went to Tony's car. We had chosen that me and Tony would go in his mustang whilst Tim took Abby and Kate in his Porsche. Once Tony had climbed into the car himself I leaned over to the driver's side and planted a kiss on his lips.

"How's the plan coming along?" I asked when I pulled away.

"The plan is coming along perfectly" he replied and captured my lips one more time before setting off just ahead of the others.


A/N: OOoohh what's the plan? Does Tony finally get to admit his feelings to Ziva? Does McGee and Abby get together too? Read on and find out yay! Another Tiva kiss hope you like it. Sorry it was so long. Anyway, i don't know what Wendy actually does look like but that is what i can picture her looking next chapter will reveal what the plan is and what happens at the dance. Please review and tell me what you think. I have written two more stories and they should be up tonight too.
