"HEY KATE!!"Abby was standing at Kate's and called Kate over to her desk the minute Kate got in the door.

"Are we still on for clubbing tonight??"Abby asked with a huge smile.

"yeah"

"Great Great Great!!"

"what's this about clubbing??"Tony asked coming up to the girls.

"me and Kate are going out tonight"Abby said.

"cool mind if I jion?"

"Dinozzo do you have any manners??you can't just invite yourself somewhere"Gibbs called from his desk.

"Not that's great we can use some men and Gibbs you should come to"Abby replied.

"no no no no"Kate whispered.

Abby smiled and nodded.

"Uh............wel I...I...I"Gibbs stuttered trying to think up an excuse.

"Yeah c'mon boss"Tony agreed.

"well...I..I"

"PLEASE?? if you don't come Kate will be all alone"Abby begged.

"O....ok"

"really great"Tony said with a smile.

*~*~*~*~*~** AT BAR AT 6:00 THAT NIGHT~**~*~*~*~*~*~

"I swear Abby you owe me I could be solving the case but no I'm here"

"Yeah yeah I owe you once you get to dancing with you know who it will be other way around"

"hey Abby"Tony came running up to them Gibbs followed in the shadows.

"Ok you guys ready??"Abby asked.

"yeah"Tony,Kate and Gibbs said together.

"Ok only thing is you have to be a couple to get in so you two stick together"

"shall we??"Gibbs asked Kate.

"yeah sure"

"Ok plan is we dance once then get our drinks"Abby said.

"ok"

Tony and Abby headed off leaving Gibbs and Kate standing at the doorway.

"So........do you want to dance agent Todd"Gibbs asked finally.

"Uh....well........" 'you have no idea' Kate thought to herself.

"Well??what??"

"I guess"

Gibbs took Kates hand and she started blushing on contact.

Kate walked with Gibbs onto the dance floor and he put one hand on her waist and took her other hand in his.

'oh My we're going to slow dance??? how far to the nearest door??...too far'Kate thought to herself.

"Kate are you ok????"

"yeah fine"

The DJ decided now was the perfect time to play Kate's favorite song.

***** Nothing's so loud as hearing when we lie the truth is not kind and you've said neither am I but the air outside so soft is saying everything everything

( CHORUS)

All I want is to feel this way to be this close to feel the same all I want is to feel this way the evening speaks I hear it say.

Nothing's so cold as to close the heart when all we need is to free the soul but we wouldn't be that brave I know the air outside so soft confessing everything everything

(CHORUS)



By now Gibbs had pulled Kate closer and she had her head resting on his shoulder.

And it won't matter now whatever happens will be though the air speaks of all we'll never be I won't let it trouble me

(CHORUS)

And it feels so close let it take me in let it hold me so I can feel it say'

****** Song is All I want by Toad the wet sprocket ***********8

"thank you for the dance'Kate said trying to pull away only to realise Gibbs still had his arms tightley around her.

Kate stood on her tiptoes and leaned in to kiss him when he loosened his grip

"Kate"Gibbs knew he couldn't do this he didn't want to hurt her.

"I'm sorry"kate sais dropping back from her tiptoes

Gibbs slowly released his grip on her.

"t...t.....tell Abby I went home I suddenly feel sick"

"Kate wait!!!"Gibbs called as Kate ran out of the bar.

Kate walked home and entered her apartment she walked to her bedroom and collapsed onto the bed she then began to cry like she did every night.

Her chest soon began to hurt and her head began to throb then she at last cried herself to sleep.
