Again, thanks for reviews, reviews make my world go round xDD. While we're here, I might as well do some shameless self promotion, hehe. Ahem Yesh, I have other fics that are Tate, of course, and uh… I like reviews xDDD. So if you have the time check them out. Uh, ignore "It's On" its crappy… end-self-promotion.

-Runs away screaming- Protect me from CSIMel!

Ooh, this should be a lil bit longer, with hopefully more Tate, we'll see as it goes.

Uh… enjoy… and review xDDD

Previously… hmmm… A oddly named man named Bing was a blast from the past, McGee is dancing, apparently, with Abby, Tony and Kate are technically alone together –collective gasp-

Kate had snapped out of her reminiscing by now, distracted by the regret of eating those couple of bar peanuts and the fact of what was making the couch sag slightly next to her. Tony DiNozzo was next to her. With a mischievous grin on his face.

"Sooo…," he started, dragging the question out, "Bing… that's an unusual name…" Kate rolled her eyes at him waiting for him to get to the point, "… old boyfriend ay Katie?" Kate slapped his arm.

"You have this serious issue of girls not being able to have guy friends, don't you Tony," Kate accused him smoothly, not fully answering the question.

"I have no problem with that Kate, I mean, look at us," Tony replied just as smoothly, barely noticing a slight downfall in Kate's expression.

"He was one of my real good friends that I lost contact with," Kate had been kinda disappointed in Tony's statement. Why the hell am I disappointed, Tony said we were friends, I'm his friend…. Another voice in the back of her head, rarely heard, inserted snidely But you want to be more.

Kate shook the opposing thoughts out of her head, noticing Tony watching her oddly.

"What?" Kate asked.

"What's the deal Kate?" Tony answered with his own question, this time noticing Kate's face obtain a reddish tinge. This had him curious. Why was she acting so weirdly about going to a nightclub in the first place, hardly catching up with what she called her "real-good" friend (Tony ignored the fact that she asked him to look her up), and why was she staring into space all the time?

"No deal… I just don't like clubbing much."

"Bull, from what I gathered from your brief meeting with "Bing" you were into the Nightclub scene," Tony could tell she was lying. No idea why though.

"Look, drop it DiNozzo, that was the old me, the… Spring-break me," Kate cringed with the last wording, remembering Tony had gotten hold of the photo and most likely hadn't deleted it.

"Fine," Tony held his hands up in defeat. He stared moodily at the dance floor, pissed that Kate wasn't confiding anything to him. He didn't stay quiet for long. "Kate, c'mon, we're friends (Tony winced inwardly), tell me things, I'm not that bad to talk to, am I?" Tony was kicking himself for the amount of time he was calling themselves friends. It wasn't that they weren't…

"Tony it's not that, I just don't want to talk about it, okay?" Kate said quietly then stared out to the dancefloor as well, picking out Abby and McGee dancing enthusiastically…. with each other. "They look good together," she changed the subject, as well as making a valid point. She gave a small smile to Tony and he smiled back.

"Yeh, who would of thunk it," Tony answered, "Most of the thanks should go to me though," he beamed at her and Kate slapped his arm again.

"And why do you say that Tony?"

"Have you not seen the amount of times I've tried to get Probie to get with Abby? Sending him down to her to get me a pen, offering to change car seating so he'd sit with her, god, I fricken made up that I had seen Gibbs and Abby pashing in order for him to get off his ass and get her already!" Tony finished his rant looking painful at the mention of the imaginary Gibbs/Abby moment.

Kate had to admit, Tony couldn't of been that lazy to just go to the lab to get a pen.

"Fine then Cupid, you're good."

"Oh god, don't dare call me Cupid again, it sounds so… wrong,… nearly as bad as Spanky," Tony twitched pointedly.

Kate laughed at him. "Well now you've told me that, I'll definitely call you Cupid, Cupid," Kate downed the rest of her drink and smirked at him.

Tony pushed her sideways, "Kaaaate, don't do it otherwise… well I don't know the otherwise part…"Tony wondered out loud.

Kate snorted. She made to raise her hand to bring Abby back, "Abby! I've found Cupid!"

Tony grabbed her arm and brought it back down. He was happy that she was getting happier. Kate struggled to bring her other arm up, and tried pushing Tony away. Somehow, he was the stronger one that night, and this time had both her arms in his grip, he leaned over her, positioning her slightly underneath him. She felt his breathing on her collarbone and saw him leaning in closer.

"I told you not to call me Cupid Katie," he whispered in her ear.

Kate shuddered and looked into his eyes, noticing the same look that was most likely in her eyes. This had to look weird from an outsider. A guy, on top of a girl, on a couch, in a bar… Bambosa…

Kate jumped as if she had been zapped. This couldn't happen, not here, not now, not ever? She slid out from under Tony; he looked surprised at the change that had happened. What had happened? Things were getting better, he was so close… then she had gotten a scared look in her eyes and pulled herself out from underneath him.

Kate saw Tony's confused look, and felt guilty. Had she been flirting with him? Had she… You wanted this to happen that little voice said inside her again.

"I'm sorry Tony," she murmured, "I…I can't, I shouldn't… I just…" she trailed off and hurried away to the direction of the bar.

Leaving Tony rooted to the spot.

Heh I rushed it, I wanted to put more Tate in there, even if it didn't make much sense. To clear things up, Bing won't be returning, Santa is real but he lives in Bermuda, not the North Pole sillies, I couldn't be bothered thinking of drinks for them to be drinking as I've never been to a nightclub and... hmmm… McGee can dance, I shall go into that more lateries.

Now for the annoying questions

Is Tony going to move?

Will Gibbs come, uninvited, with a clad of redheads surrounding him, win a monkey in a dance competition and pash both Abby and Kate?

Will Kate and Tony/Abby and McGee ever kiss?

Same 'ol same 'ol, what is Kate hiding?
