Change | Kitty's No.11 – there is always a film to make you feel better.
"Ho, ho and ho!" Abby exclaimed, coming to a stop in front of the bullpen. Ducky and Jimmy were behind her.
"Hi, hi and hi!" Kitty replied, giggling.
"Have you got something on the case?" Gibbs asked.
"No. I've got something better. Secret Santa," Abby answered.
"What about it?" Tony asked.
"Well, Kitty was telling me about how she and her friends used to do it, and it realised we've never done one. So why not start now?"
"What is a secret Santa?" Ziva asked, obviously confused.
"It's a holiday tradition. At home, we put all our names into a hat, and we had to buy a gift for the person's name we pulled- but we weren't allowed to tell them who got it for them until after they got the present," Kitty explained. Ziva nodded, trying to get her head wrapped around it.
"And we need to do one because..?" Gibbs asked.
"Because why not?" Abby replied.
"I'm in," Kitty said.
"Me too," Tim added, following Kitty's example.
"Same here," Jimmy said, sounding a little bit excited.
"I volunteered to join," Ducky voiced.
"I'll do it," Ziva said, finally happy with the concept.
"Me too. This is going to be hilarious," Tony added.
"Gibbs?" Abby asked, wringing her fingers together. He looked at the entire team, sighed, and nodded. Abby squealed. "Yay! I'll ask the Director to send you your Santa's," Abby said, turning around.
"What about Kitty's way?" Ziva asked. Abby paused, and then took off her Santa hat.
"Okay, write your names in and put them in my hat," she said. The team did as directed. Abby then went around and offered the hat to everyone. Kitty got Tony. She sighed, but nodded so Abby could move on.
"So, who have you got?" Ziva asked Kitty as they entered the elevator.
"Tony," Kitty said, rolling her eyes. "Maybe I'll just get him a movie prop or something. You?"
"I got Gibbs. Gibbs!" Ziva shouted. "What the hell do I get him?"
"Mm. Maybe something to help him make his boat?" Kitty also discovered that Abby had Ducky, Tony had Tim and Jimmy had Ziva. Gibbs, Tim and Ducky wouldn't mention who they'd received, which left her, Abby and Jimmy.
The first Secret Santa, however, was given the next day- to Kitty! She was sat at her desk, and only Tim was missing from the bullpen. They were working a case. However, Tim was found when he walked into the office with a loud speaker thing. "Kitty Rows! Calling Kitty Rows!" he announced. Getting excited, Kitty stood up.
"That's me! I'm Kitty! Who's calling?" she exclaimed.
"Your Secret Santa!" Kitty squealed, waving her arms about. She dropped her coffee cup.
"Your present is a portable candyfloss machine!" Tim said, turning towards a man dragging a candyfloss machine. "This man, Dave, will give you all the cotton candy you want for a week," Tim exclaimed. Kitty really screamed, then ran forwards and pecked Tim on the cheek.
"This is the best Christmas present ever!" she exclaimed. "Look, everyone! Tim got me candyfloss! And a man!" Kitty squealed again. "Come on, Dave! Let's go see Abby!" Kitty ran towards the elevator. Dave followed, looking weary.
