Sorry about not updating in a while. I stayed home while the rest of my family, excluding my brother, went camping. Mom took my computer charger with her.

Alright, here's how Abby and Jen plan on getting Tony and Ziva together.

"Come on, Mr Tony, let's play!" Jen said excitedly and with a large amount of energy.

"Abby gave you Caff-Pow, didn't she?" Tony asked.

"She gave me three!" she bounced up and down uncontrollably.

Tony groaned. He'd have to talk to that scientist.

Tony plopped down on his couch, exhausted. Jen had energy. A LOT of energy. After getting home from work, Jen had insisted they play fort. After turning the entire kitchen into a makeshift base, complete with an armory of soup cans, a mess hall complete with oatmeal, a command center made out of cereal, and a wall created by a kitchen table, she insisted that they play for the entire time till bedtime. To be fair, she did help cleanup.

He rubbed his eyes, and on autopilot made his way to the bathroom to shower before bed. The hot water briefly energized him, then lulled him into nice doze. He closed his eyes, wishing to just fall asleep. Then he heard a knock at the door.

"Tony!" Ziva's voice called out, "Open up!"

Jen. How much energy can a little girl have?

"One minute!" he shouted as he turned off the water. He opened the door to his bedroom, and found hanging on the knob one of his nicest Italian suits.

Now this was getting weird.

What's more, all of his other clothes were gone!

And for some reason, he didn't feel nervous about what Jen had planned.

Meanwhile, at the front door...

Ziva was initially very peeved that someone had broken into her apartment and had stolen all her clothes. When she found out who...

But her only remaining set of clothes was this nice evening wear dress. Now, she did look damn good in it. And she was secretly happy that she was at Tony's to return Jen's cell phone. Indeed, she only found it when Jen called from Tony's house phone. And, since her own clothes were all in the wash, she was stuck in this dress.

Her first warning should have been when Jen answered the door with her hair slicked back, and a cute little waiters outfit on. Complete with white blouse, black slacks, and black vest. It was actually quite funny.

"Your table awaits, madam," she said, gesturing to the table, which was completely set and had candles on it.

Why did she not feel more nervous about this?

Suddenly, she wished she had taken the time to do her hair.

When Tony exited the bedroom, he was dressed in his best suit. Both of them did a double take when they saw how the other was dressed. Eye sex was occurring.

And then both of them glared at Jen, who looked so cute and innocent you just wanted to smack her. She was currently serving salad, still in the take-out box from a French restaurant.

Other than that, they had fun. Jen, simply put, was too cute and too adorable to stay mad at. It didn't hurt that neither had had a date in months. Laughter was abound, smiles never left their faces.

And then there was a knock on the door.

Maggs

My eyebrows skyrocketed when Tony answered the door wearing his best suit. And they climbed even higher when I looked past him and saw, to my astonishment, his partner in a nice evening gown, being catered by an adorable Jen. Tony was not smart enough to pull this off.

I suspected a certain Goth had a hand in this.

"Hi, Tony," I greeted, "Ugh, we caught our guy. The team's heading back to Albuquerque tonight."

Meanwhile, in a friend's apartment across the street...

"WHAT?" Abby screeched, "No! Not now!"

In Tony's apartment...

"Tonight?" Tony asked, "But, she hasn't had a chance to say goodbye, to Abby, and Ducky, and Gibbs, and-"

"I know Tony, I know," I said, "But, the Chief wants all of us on the next plane back to New Mexico and, I don't have a lot of time."

"She can stay with me, for a few days," Tony offered, "I'll pay for her airfare and-"

"What about yours?" I countered, "If you send her on a plane alone, by God-"

"I'll pay for that too, then!" Why was he getting so defensive? "Just, let her stay for a few more days."

"I can't let you do that," I said, "It'll be expensive, and not only that, Jen should have started school already. She's been excused for the past few days. You know how hard it will be to go to your first day and everyone already knows eachother?"

"She'll make friends in a heartbeat," he argued, "Let-"

"No, Tony," I put my footdown, "Jen may not be my daughter, but she is just as close. You think I enjoy leaving her in a law enforcement headquarters? We are surrounded by death and the filthiest of human kind everyday. I do not want Jen exposed to that anymore than necessary. Tony, you've been careful, these past few days. She hasn't seen one crime scene photo, one body, one bloody murder weapon. We both know that can't last."

Tony was silent. It was true, a law enforcement agency wasn't the best place for a kid as young as Jen. Finally, he asked, "How do you watch her, as a Marshall?"

I sighed, "Old couple. My neighbors. They spoil her."

Tony said nothing. He simply went back into the apartment.

"I don't wanna go," I heard Jen protest.

"It's okay Jen. We'll write everyday, okay?"

"Not only that, you and Ms Ziva need to kiss."

"We do?"

I couldn't help the laugh escape my lips. Even a seven-year-old can see the attraction.

I heard stomping up the stairs, and a very winded goth appeared at the stair entrance, "You... pant... ruined... pant … my plan... pant..."

"You mean, the one where you had Jen hide all my clothes?" Tony asked.

"And you hid all mine?" Ziva said suddenly appearing behind me.

"Um... pant... gotta go!" with that, she did a one-eighty and disappeared down the staircase so fast it was like a magic trick.

"You should wear running shoes if you are going to do that!" I called after her, "Platforms aren't good for moving fast!" which is why I always wear flats.

Jen tugged on my pants leg, "I'm gonna miss Mr Tony," she said sadly, "Goodbye, Mr Tony. Goodbye, Ms Ziva." she said as the two Agents each gave her a hug. She picked up the bag she kept her laundry in and her suitcase.

The last Tony saw of Jen, she waved goodbye from the elevator.

"I'm gonna-" he was interrupted by Ziva grabbing his chin and kissing him softly on the lips.
