Chapter 21. This is now officially my longest story. Anyway I very happy with the way this chapter turned out. It was actually two requests blended together. Can we tell I am taking a very 'Ask and you shall probably recive' stand on this story? Any way I hope you enjoy this chapter.

To Anonymous Reveiwer 'Me': I am glad you liked chapter 20. Quite honestly I was not sure how I felt about it when I posted it so I am glad someone liked it. I am also very glad that you have like and followed both this story and it's prequel. I will see if inspiration strikes for a third story in this collection… Anyway…thank you so much for your review.

Spoilers: It is still AU

Abby woke to feel something poking her in the ribs. She tried smack it away and just got smacked back. That woke her up enough to sit up and see Kate standing beside her bed.

"What do you want?" Abby demanded looking at her friend.

"First of all I would like to point out that I could have used a spinnaker pole to wake you and that would have hurt a lot more when you hit it," Kate told her then, not letting Abby get a word in, continued, "We are going out to breakfast today. Remember?" It was a rhetorical question. Kate knew perfectly well that Abby had not remembered.

"Darn it," Abby said rolling out of bed and landing on the floor. She got up and quickly started looking around for cloths. Kate poked her in the shoulder and pointed to a neatly laid out outfit. Abby knew that Kate must have laid it out and she did a quick bow to her friend. "You are a god send." Kate just nodded as Abby disappeared into the bathroom. She emerged a few minutes later and threw her pajama on the bed.

"We ready to go?" Kate asked her friend.

"Yea," Abby replied as they started down the stairs, "By the way, what is a spinnaker pole?"

"It is a long metal pole that is used for holding out the spinnaker when it is flying," Kate replied and foreseeing Abby's next question she added, "The spinnaker is the big multicolor one you see in pictures."

"And you keep one in you bedroom because?" Abby asked.

"Mostly because I can," Kate replied, "We took it off Vitesse a couple years back at the end of the season and I brought it up here."

"Why?" Abby asked again.

"Because I like it and it can be useful sometimes," Kate told her, "like today except I decided to be nice."

"I appreciate it," Abby said a little sarcastically because her hand was still throbbing.

"Oh you do," Kate told her, "Or would you prefer to have smacked a solid metal pole."

"So where are we going out to breakfast," Abby asked completely changing the subject, "And who is coming?"

"Anna is taking you, me, Monica to The Black Dog Tavern," Kate replied as they reached the kitchen, "To get us out of the adults hair."

"We haven't been in the adults hair," Abby replied, "And neither has Monica."

"Don't question Anna," Kate reminded her, "What Anna wants. Anna gets."

"Right," Abby agreed. That rule made so much more sense now that she lived in the same house with everyone for three weeks. The two girls slid into the back seats of the land yacht and looked up to see Anna but not Monica. Anna pulled out of the driveway anyway.

"Monica?" Kate suggested to her grandmother.

"She's not coming," was the only reply they got. They exchanged a look and sat back to enjoy the ride. They reached their location much faster than they would have had they been doing the speed limit, but neither questioned it. When they parked the two girls got out then Anna pulled out and drove away.

"What the heck is going on?' Abby demanded.

"I would tell you if I knew," Kate replied, "but I will say that this smells like a set up."

"Your family scares me sometimes," Abby told Kate shaking her head.

"Oh they scare me a whole lot more than sometimes," Kate agreed.

"Kate, Abby," a voice called, "How nice to see you." Both girls whipped around to face the owner of the voice and realized that it was Ziva.

"Ziva," Kate replied happily, "What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for you," Ziva replied as though they should know this.

"Right of course," Abby agreed, "us too." Ziva looked a little confused at how they could be waiting for themselves but let it slide. She led the way into the building behind her.

"Told you it was a set up," Kate whispered as they walked into the restaurant.

"Yea," Abby agreed, "but it was a nice set up."

"True," Kate said as they sat down at a window table. The Black Dog Tavern was one of the most scenic restaurants in Vineyard Haven. It overlooked the inner harbor and from the window you could watch the ferries come and go. You could also look out and see to very big sailboats owned by the same person who owned the restaurant.

"What are you going to have?" Abby asked the table in general.

"Not sure," Ziva and Kate replied at the same time.

"Me either," Abby replied looking at the menu. They all studied the menu for several minutes and selected their food. The waitress took their order and gave them their drinks.

"So I hate to start a conversation this way," Kate prefaced, "but how much longer are you on island for."

"Um," Ziva replied, "A few more days. I think I fly out of Boston really early on the eleventh, so I have to leave the Vineyard on the tenth."

"We leave on the tenth too," Abby told her, "but our flight is that afternoon."

"Where are you going?" Kate asked curiously, "Home?"

"I am going back to Tel Aviv," Ziva replied pointedly not calling it home. She wasn't really sure where home was anymore.

"We should throw a going away party," Abby said excitedly. Both Kate and Ziva looked at her. "We are both leaving on the tenth so on the night of the ninth we can throw a big going away party."

"That might be fun," Ziva agreed.

"I'm sure we could get Anna behind it," Kate suggested, "Then we could use the beach."

"Then you could invite your boyfriend," Ziva said calmly.

Kate turned a magnificent shade of pink. "How did you…what…we're not really…" Kate stammered while Abby laughed and Ziva smirked.

"How did you know that?" Abby asked once she had recovered.

"I just know things," Ziva told them, "I am trained to know things. Like that Abby, too, has a boyfriend."

It was Abby's turn to turn pink.

I really hope that you guys liked this one. I sure did. Please review.
