A Year later from the last chapter.

Ziva was finishing tying her daughter dress. "You look beautiful, Little one, Your grandfather has to keep an eye on you," kate smiles.

"hmn, A marine, would that scare daddy" Tali smirks "anything that breathes scares abba-leh" tali says causing all the woman to giggle.

Abby smiles placing a snowflake headband in her niece hair which was up in a updo. her makeup was warm plum smoking eye and a soft red lip gloss which made her lips look like candy.

" Mini Tony, your grandpa may not be enough" Kate smiles, she runs her hands down the white dress, Gibbs could not get out of going to The Marine Birthday ball this year, So since kate offered to be his date two years ago. He thought he'll take her up on her offer.

Her mother and sister helped her pick out her dress, and her aunt helped her with her hair, she felt something was going to happen tonight, she didn't know what but she knew it was something that was going to be something that would stop her in her tracks.

Kate smiles while her mother places her Necklace around her neck, it was a Hebrew Guardian, that would protect her and it looks great with the dress.

She was wearing diamond stuns that she borrowed from her mother. Jenny smiles "You look amazing, maybe you find him tonight" Jenny says causing Tali to roll her eyes. "Down McFairytales," Jenny rolls her eyes with a little smile. Kate winks at her. 'maybe she's on to something' Kate thinks to herself. (AN. DRESS Link BELOW, IM me if you can't see it)


Kate walks off the elevator into the squadroom, the women walks off right behind her. Gibbs turns around to see why his longest lasting Probie was staring his eyes a little wounded.

He see's his granddaughter who looks like the ice queen, she was beyond beautiful, and she was really growing up too fast, the white dress making him think about her walking down the aisle.

which is why his probie looks like he wanted to cry, he must have thought about the same thing. A.J looks at his father he gives him a nudge causing him to wake up from his nightmare...he means daydream.

" Thanks Buddy" A. J nods before seeing his sister getting a little too close to his best friend. A.J walks over to the two and takes a spot between them causing the two to glare. Jenny smiles taking a spot next to A.J , he smiled kissing her on the forehead causing her to blush.

kate smiles "You ready, Grandpa" Gibbs smiled "Yes, you look beautiful" She smiles "of Course, I have to look good I'm going with the director of NCIS" She says smiling she kisses her father on the cheek. " I'll see you later daddy" He smiles.

"You look beautiful, Ninja, you going to steal the show," She smiles "Thank you, Bye uncle mcgee" She kisses his cheek.

"Bye Kit kat, I second everything that they said" she places her mask on.

" Thank you," She says before telling her mother and aunt goodbye.

She was looped her arm around gibbs, she was pasting the four she gives tali a little wink who fight her way back to matt's side, Tali rolls her eyes smiling.

She walks into the elevator she smiles at her grandfather. "It's not a wedding dress" She says causing him to smile relaxing a little. "I know, but when it is you would make a beautiful bride" He says has the elevator doors closed.


Kate smiles fixing her grandfather's medals. "You know you are supposed to wear your mask" She says, causing him to smile. "I don't hide Short Stack" She smiles.

"Only from your Ex wives" She says causing him to give her a little look, fighting his lip from twitching up.

"Short Stack" She smiles kissing him on the cheek.

"I love you, and I think one is here" She says faking a panic, gibbs smiled placing the mask on his face, she giggles, he removes it. "Happy" She nods smiling.

"Beyond, I'm here with the most Handsome Marine in the room, and I get to spend some time with him. I mean college is really make it hard to get in that time" He kisses her forehead

"but we do, and It's not your fault you're so smart." She smiles "No it's partial your's " he smiles, Kate turns to see Fornell. "The director of the FBI was Invited" Gibbs nods smiling. "So why, aren't wearing your mask, your wife is coming" Gibbs sends her a tiny glare causing her to giggle. "Come on you briker my they Daddy and Ima-leh" He shakes his head , fornell walks up.

"Hello, who is this, and Does her grandfather know you're picking up on his granddaughter." Kate stares at him, she was shock he wasn't kidding.

"Honey, you should get out when you can, his famous of getting married" Gibb glares at the man.

"Fornell" He smiles" But if you find yourself needing a little company. I'm here" He gives her a wink, Kate takes off her mask.

"Fornell, I'm beyond creeped out, and I'm sure you have a lot to talk about...I won't tell my parents, My Ima-leh and Dad... " She giggles darkly. "you met them, Grandpa He scares me" Kate says before walking away, while Gibbs advances towards the man.


Tony pulls up to his house, the twins had went with the McGee's for laser Tag, Ziva stares at him smiling. "What's wrong?" He sighs.

" I know this sound stupid, but I am worried about her, she looks like a brid...She's beautiful, and she surround by men, who are going to be..." Ziva captures his lips, to stop the rambling.

She pulls away catching his bottom letting it go very slowly. He smirks. "You are getting good at Shutting me up".

She smiles "Tony, It's not stupid you're worried about her, but she's not getting married and she's with Gibbs do you think any maries would hit on her" Tony smiles "Not unless they wanted a bullet in their head." He says ,causing ziva to laugh.

" Exactly, Besides she can take a room full of marines" He smiles leaning in closer to her lips.

"If she anything like you yes"Ziva smiled "Good now that you mind is at rest, make yourself useful" She says leaning in.

"Mrs. DiNozzo is this why you married me" She shrugs

"That and I love you," She says capturing his lips.


Kate was giggle while her grandfather was moving up like a fox to his prey on fornell. She bumps into a marine, She turns around his face covered. "Sorry, Excuse me " She says, he smiles "no problem, so who were you sneaking away from" She gives a little smile.

"No one, Marine" He smiles grabbing her hand, his blue eyes were anything but innocent. "i think you were" Kate forces a little smile, well slowly pulling her hand away.

"I..." she was cut off by the release of her hand. She sees him looking behind her.

" Come on, You Can't...it was nice meeting you, Little red, you shouldn't run off so far next time" he winks at her before walking away, she gives a little smile.

"Are you going to stand behind me and scary away every man that talks to me, but I didn't mind this time" She turns around to see her grandfather but her eyes fall on a young marine, he was about 6'2 Marine, a staff sergeant.

She looks up for the first time their eyes met, and she could not believe what she saw. He had dark grey eyes, which had so much mystery in didn't know why, they look so familiar or why she could look at them forever just to solve those mysteries.

He smiles, which was charming and playful all at the same time, it was a Mix of Tony's and Gibbs smile Which was surrounding by his five o'clock shadow that framed his firm jaw line. He was beyond good looking.

"Sorry, I thought I would just help you out..." She smiles at him. " Just make sure your hunter is aware there are many wolves out Tonight, Red" His eyes scan the room. "So you should stay close just in case until you reach your date" She smiles.

He's eyes lock with hers they were beautiful the way the green dances around with the gold, he notices anytime she smiles the gold would shine brighter, and take over the green. "How do I know you're not a wolf in sheeps clothing? wolf eyes" She asks, he smiles.

"You would be running the other way..." She gives him a look making him smile. "But apart of me says you don't run from danger, so I guess you have to take my word for it" He says, before leaning in by her ear. "But if I was you I would run" He whispers to her before pulling away.

"Why, Is that" He smiles. " Because, I think you're the kind of girl that would fall for wrong easily" She smirks.

" Don't flatter yourself and what makes you wrong" He moves closer to her. " So many things that don't make me right by the way Miss are you calling mister right" She rolls eyes.

"No, Honey" he smirks "Then what darlin." She glares at the man. "You are wrong, so many layers of wrong" He gives her a bright smile.

"It's not who I am underneath,but what I do that defines me" She blushes, "Did you just quote batman" He moves closer to her.

"Maybe," He says leaning in closer to her, she smiles, she didn't back down her eyes move up and down his body causing him to smile.

" So what do you do marine" He smiles "I'll try to be better and fall down the rabbit hole not caring where I laid just glad that I didn't let a moment slip through my fingers" He says, causing her to stare at him with softer eyes.

He smiles when a new song plays. "care to dance" He offers his hand. She accepts his hand, he pulls her closer to him, he places his hand on her back, keeping it at a respectful place.

His eyes were soft while he stares into hers causing her to break the glaze before meeting his eyes again.
"are you killer is that why you never break eye contact...It's the serial killer trait in you" He nods "that's a great observation, I mean I can see you worked really hard on it" He teases causing her to give him a playful glare.

"It's a good quality" She stares at him with curious eyes. "what is" He smiles "modesty, because it never crossed your mind that you had beautiful eyes that puts a man in trace "He answers while spinning her before pulling her back to him with a smile playing on his lips.

" A trace" He smirks "Yes we both have our own powers " He says, she smiles while their movements were one.

" What are they" She asks, he smiles "My is turning you into a chameleon and yours is hypnotizing me with those eyes" Her eyes sparkle. "Umm, that was easy" She stares at him "What, " He smiles "figure out your eye color" She gives him a sweet smile .

"Did you fail kindergarten" He gives her a little smile. "No, but coloring inside the lines was never my strong suit, Mrs. Pepper had in for me, Maybe I wanted the whole world green it was a statement, Okay, the reason we both got to meet a polar bear is because of my go green messager by the way there is no need to thank me " She smiles .

" I won't " He nods "you're welcome..."She rolls her eyes. "So what color are my eyes" She asks, he smiles "When you're sad dark green, when you're excited I bet anything their goldish just tiny pieces of green mixed in, because whenever you smile the gold fights the green and it's like a wildfire , One that you won't mind taking credit for starting" She smiles.

"I don't know if that makes you arsonist or sweet" he smiles " I'll go with sweet with my serial killer title already, I don't think I could afford the other one." She smiles , while his face was stone cold serious causing her to smirk.

"Why, so serious" He smiles. "Please, don't say let's put a smile on that face" Kate laughs, before resting her head on his chest.

She closes her eyes he kisses the top of her head before the music ends, he see's one of his marine, signaling him it's time to go. He looks at the clock sighing.

She pulls away."What's wrong" He gives a little smile. "I have to go" She smirks. "It's not twelve o'clock cindy"

He gives a little smile. "Well, the economy is, not like it used to be, the fairy godfathers cut back their hours" She smiles "Where is the pumpkin leaving you" He gives her a weak smile. "In a war zone, My unit has a assignment, we are go into lockdown in an hour" She gives him a little smile. "I guess, this goodbye" He gives her a broad smile.

"Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting" He says, causing her to smile.

"James M Barrie" He sighs " Do you know everything, I was trying to come off has deep. " She smiles wrapping her arms around his neck.

His hands gently slid up her arms. "Youre has deep has a kiddy pool" He smiles "Yet, you can still drown in it" She blushes, causing her to smile. "Take care of yourself," He places a kisses on her forehead causing her to stare at him shock, he smiles gently pulling away.

" I will, Don't worry red I'll see you again." She smiles "I'm not worry you will come back in one piece, however I think this is our last meeting." He grabs her hand leaving a gentle kiss on it, his eyes never leaving hers.

"My gut is saying it's just the start, So I'll see you soon red, and your date is 2 yards behind me, tell him to held with care, and thank you for sharing his angel for one dance, I think that's a good sign" He says, he leans into her ear, brushing his lips it wasn't even enough to be called contact.

"ángel hasta más tarde" He whispers, his Spanish sending chills down her body. when four marines walk up behind her.

"Kiss him and smile for him promise that you'll wait for him. Hold him like you never let him go" The four sings causing kate to jump a little before turning a little to see the marines singing.

"Because he's leaving on a jet plane don't know when he'll be back again, Oh he'll hate to go" She smiles, when he gently turned her towards him.

"Now the time has come to leave you" He holds her closer to her causing her to smile, it was reminding her of Armageddon " One more time let me kiss you close your eyes I'll be on my way." He sings softly, she lets herself get lost in his voice.

" Dream about the days to come when I won' have to leave you alone. About the times I won't have to say..." She smiles locking eyes with his. He leans in waiting for her to go the rest of the way. She lets his lips linger.

" So Kiss him and Smile for him Tell him you'll wait for him, Hold him like you'll never let hold him go, because he's leave on a jet plane don't know when he'll back again" The marine that was holding her closer looks at her sorrowful eyes.

"Oh Babe I'll hate to go" She didn't know why those words felt so honest. She leans in the rest of the way it was a long gently kiss, the marines smile leaving the two walking towards the door. He pulls away smiling. " Man I hate to go" She smiles.

"Well I guess we just have to wait to see if there is hello again" He smiles leaving a kiss on her cheek. "I'll be praying Red" He smiled before walking away his hand slowly letting go of her while he walks over to the group of marines who were walking out the door.

Kate stares in the direction the man left, running her tongue across her lip causing her to smile. ' My god then need to make a lip gloss with his favor. " She thinks to herself smiling up a storm, when she feels her grandfather behind her.

"Leave him alone" Kate says turning to face her grandfather who was far from pleased.

"Who was that" She gives a little smile. "hunter" She says, before grabbing Gibbs hand

"Dance with me, and Protect me from that mean man" She says pointing at fornell, she didn't know what it was, but something inside of her was growing like a wildfire, she didn't know what hit her, and the odd empty feeling since he left. She knew the light was sparked and it was going to be out of control, It was going to became a WILDFIRE.
