The Lie: I don't own Sunny

The Wish: I his I had a pet penguin

The Question: Will you buy/steal one for me?

After getting all the janitors to clean up the fish, Gibbs was finally ready to interrogate the Hifton's. However, it appeared that Tony and Kate were not.

Tony was still trying to get Sunny out of his chair, and Kate (Along with Abby) was laughing at him.

"What is it with you and Sunny?" Abby asked between laughs.

Before Tony could respond Kate responded.

"What is it with him and animals?"

"Wait, he doesn't get along with dogs, iguanas and penguins… Anything else?" Abby had been counting the animals off on her fingers but had ended up with four fingers up instead of three. Using her other hand she put one of the fingers down, starting another giggle fit from her and Kate.

"Squirrels and spiders." Kate wheezed.

Suddenly Abby became quite serious, "spiders? What's wrong with spiders? Their helpful, interesting, cute…" Her voice trailed off. "You know Tony, I think you need to get in touch with animals. Let go to the zoo!" She jumped up and down excitedly.

Tony was about to argue when Gibbs' stepped in. "I think that would be great." He turned to Sunny "I'll drop you off with Uncle Ducky and," He turned to Tony, Kate and Abby, "you three can go get the van." He tossed the keys in the air making all three dive for them.

Out in the parking lot Gibbs realized he had forgotten to call McGee and tell him of their plans. While he talked, a spider crawled on Tony, making him whimper and the girls laugh.

Abby had called shotgun leaving Tony and Kate in the back, after about fifteen minutes of relatively quiet driving Abby asked a question Gibbs dreaded. "Are we there yet?"

"Abby, the nearest zoo is 30 away, but it sucks so were going to the next closest which is three hours away." Everyone groaned.

They were quiet for another five minutes until Tony spoke.

"I'm hungry." He announced loudly, "and look!" Tony was quite excited now, "there's a McDonalds!" He pointed out the window.

"Eww…" Kate and Abby replied in unison.

"I'm hungry too." Kate said "and look! There's Tofu Palace!"

Abby clapped approvingly, whilst Tony make faces.

"Were not eating at either of those places." Gibbs got on the off ramp and pulled into the dusty parking lot of a Chinese restaurant. "Stay In the car." He ordered.

About ten minutes alter he came back carrying four boxes and lots of soy sauce.

He opened the first box and handed it to Kate.

"Tofu Stir Fry!" She announced with glee, declining the soy sauce that was offered to her.

He handed the next box to Abby. "Shrimp! And Carrots!" She Hugged Gibbs and took about ten soy sauce packages.

Gibbs handed a smaller box to Tony who opened it and saw Pot stickers. He smiled and dug in.

"Want some soy sauce?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes please!" Abby said.

"Not you."

"Oh."

Tony took two packages and dumped them over his food while Gibbs did the same.

"I have three more packages of soy sauce, Abby." She took them and drank them.

"Thank you." Came her reply.

"Now, I want 30 minutes of silence."

"Can we listen to the radio?" Asked Abby, before they had pulled out of the lot.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Gibbs turned on the radio, while the last few notes of Eleanor Rigby faded away. Then, the next song started, and Kate stopped eating in horror. It was 'Godzilla'. Tony was doing the car dance and silently laughing at Kate.

This is going to be a long couple of hours. Gibbs thought to himself as he swerved in and out of traffic getting the finer multiple times. Abby responded by giving them the finger.

TBC…
