The next two months went by quickly. Charity threw a kick ass bridal shower and bachelorette party for her cousin. It was now the day of the wedding and Charity was with her cousin and the other bridesmaids getting their hair and nails done.

"I can't wait to be married." Lisa gushed.

"I'm so happy for you." Charity told her cousin.

Lisa smiled at her. "I also can't wait to meet this boyfriend of yours. You know I have to approve."

Charity grinned. "Well, as soon as we're done here, I'm going to pick him up. I do think you'll find it hard to pay much attention to me and my man. I mean, you are getting married today!"

Lisa grinned. "I know!"

Charity grinned, happy to share in her cousin's joy. The women at the Salon finished up with them. They walked out the door and hugged. "I have to go get changed and pick up my boyfriend. I'll see you at the church."

"See you there...I'm getting married!"

Charity laughed and hugged her cousin once more before hopping in a cab and heading to NCIS. She had her dress in Abby's lab so that she could change there. It was the only way she was going to have time to do everything. She had to be ready so she could help Lisa get ready.

Tony...

Tony walked out of the bathroom after having changed into his tux. "You're all dressed up, Tony." Ziva observed.

"I'm going to a wedding." Tony answered.

"Whose?" McGee asked.

Before Tony could answer, Charity was stepping off the elevator. Charity had a long black trench coat on and her hair and make up were done professionally. "You look nice, Charity." Ziva said.

"You wouldn't say that if you could see my dress." Charity replied.

"Why?" Ziva inquired.

"I'm the maid of honor at my cousin's wedding." Charity answered. "Bridesmaids dresses are never pretty."

"Wait, Tony are you going to this wedding with Charity?" Ziva asked.

"Yes." Tony answered.

"Why would you ask Tony to go with you?" Ziva asked.

"Long story short, I'm desperate." Charity answered.

"Hey, that's not very nice." Tony replied.

Charity grinned at him. "You know what I mean."

"So, what about this dress?" Ziva asked.

Charity grimaced. "I hate it."

Tony grinned. "You might as well get the reveal over with. We'll all be seeing it in pictures later."

Charity sighed. "I look like a slutty cupcake." She then removed the trench coat to reveal the dress. It was strapless. The top was corset-like and purple. It covered her breast and had sheer paneling from right under her breast down to above her hips. The skirt was too-too like and stopped just above her knees and was pink.

"That is...a lovely dress." Ziva lied.

"You don't have to lie. It's hideous." Charity said. "I just have to remind myself that she's my cousin and I love her...to keep myself from killing her."

"What are you wearing?" Gibbs asked, coming into the room to see his daughter.

"My bridesmaid dress." Charity answered. She then pulled the trench coat back on and closed it around her. She looked at Tony. "You ready to go? And no, you can't laugh."

Tony just grinned. "I'm ready." He answered.

"DiNozzo." Gibbs called.

"Yeah Boss?"

"Remember hands at ten and two." Gibbs told him.

"Right Boss." Tony replied.

Charity had to fight a laugh. "Don't worry Daddy, he gets outta line, I'll slap him right back into place." They then hopped on the elevator. Charity couldn't help but to look at Tony with a grin. "Now, there's no telling if I'll be out of line."

Tony grinned at her. "And why would you get out of line?"

"Well, I look like a slutty cupcake and there's going to be an open bar at this wedding." Charity answered.

Tony laughed. "This is going to be a fun wedding."
