YOU'RE A GOD

A/N: Sorry about the long break, stupid school work. So, I hope you guys like where I'm going with this story. Chapter four will be the last chapter before we get to the reunion chapters, so the action will come soon enough. I tried to make this chapter and the last chapter Tate-ish. So read, enjoy and if you feel like it… review.

Kate entered the NCIS bullpen and at seven in the morning a little nervous. Actually she was very nervous. Kate didn't like asking for help, and never in her wildest dreams did she imagine asking for help from Tony DiNozzo.

She had purposely arrived early so that she would have a chance to talk to him privately, without Gibbs or McGee around. Maybe he wouldn't act like such an idiot without those two around to encourage him.

Tony was sitting at his desk, working. When he saw Kate, he threw a ball of paper at her head.

"Hiya Katie!" He grinned.

Kate groaned inwardly. No such luck.

"Good morning Tony," She answered, putting her things in her desk. This was going to be hard.

"Why you here so early?" Tony asked eagerly, hoping for some gossip.

Kate's face brightened.

"Actually, Tony, I'm here to see you." Kate forced a smile.

"You are?" Tony asked incredulously.

"Yes, I have something very important to discuss with you," Kate took a deep breath, dreading what she was about to say next. "Over coffee, perhaps."

Tony looked at her, stunned. Then his shock turned into his usual grin.

"Are you asking me out Caitlin Todd?" He asked.

"No!" Kate cried. "I'm asking you out for coffee, as a friend. Nothing else." She said sternly, for her own benefit more than his.

Tony's face fell immediately, something that surprised Kate. Was he actually looking forward to it? Tony hid his disappointment.

"Are you buying?" Tony asked, a curious expression.

Kate sighed, defeated. This was going to send her back some bucks, knowing first hand how much Tony could eat.

"Yes, Tony, I'm buying," She snapped.

"Why didn't you say so in the first place?" Tony grinned, grabbing his jacket. "Let's go!"

They walked to a small coffee shop down the street from the NCIS offices. It was quiet, with only about four other people in the shop. Tony and Kate sat at a table up the back. They ordered their coffee and there was a long, awkward silence.

It was Kate who broke the silence.

"Look, Tony, I'm just going to say this straight. As you already be aware of I am attending my high school reunion and I need a favour." Kate paused.

Tony grinned wickedly.

"You, Kate, need a favour from little old me?"

"Oh, forget about it, I knew this was a bad idea," Kate replied, glaring at Tony.

"Come on, Kate, I'm listening." Tony said, sitting up "your wish is my command."

"Um, high school was kind of tough for me…Oh, here, I'll show you." Kate handed Tony a folded up piece of paper. He opened it up slowly and stared at for a few seconds, a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. He saw the expression on Kate's face, and tried to keep a straight face. He burst out laughing.

Kate snatched the photo off Tony.

"I reveal to you my teenage torment and you laugh in my face!" Kate said disgusted. "You're a real jerk, DiNozzo."

"I'm sorry, Kate," Tony replied, tears streaming down his face "it's just I didn't imagine you like that in high school."

"You mean fat?" Kate said pointedly "God, Tony, you're so shallow!"

"Look who's talking Miss-I-don't-date-guys-under-5'9." Tony snapped.

"Ugh, forget about it Tony, I'll ask someone else!" Kate said, standing.

"What is it that you wanted?" Tony asked seriously.

Kate sat down and sighed.

"I need a date for my reunion," she mumbled.

"What was that? I didn't hear you," Tony said, leaning forward.

"I said, I need a date for my reunion," Kate said, loudly.

"Ah ha! So you are asking me out!" Tony replied triumphantly.

"NO! Just to pose as my boyfriend for a night, that's all," Kate answered, quietly.

"Woah, Kate, this relationship is moving too fast!" Tony said, laughing.

"I know this sounds incredibly sad, and I wouldn't be asking you this unless this was completely necessary." Kate said sternly.

"And you asked me, I'm so touched."

"So will you do it?" Kate interrupted.

"Help you avenge your high school tormentors, I don't know. What's in it for me?" Tony asked.

Kate was stunned. Deep down she knew he would want something out of it, and she knew the price for revenge would be costly.

"What do you want?" Kate asked warily.

There was a pause and Tony pulled out his palm pilot. He turned it on and tapped a couple of buttons. Tony turned it so Kate would see.

"You said you deleted that!" Kate hissed loudly. A few people turned towards them. Kate blushed and sat up straight. "Please Tony, anything but that…picture."

"Okay, after seeing you're high school pictures, I have a new respect for you. You rose up from…ugliness, to become semi-hot." Tony said.

"Gee, you really know how to make a girl feel beautiful." Kate snapped.

"So I'll go easy on you," Tony said, ignoring Kate "all you have to do is say 'Tony, you're a God."

"What?" Kate cried.

A couple of people shushed her.

"I'm not going to say that!"

"Fine, than I won't help you," Tony folded his arms.

"That's not fair, it's a completely ridiculous favour!" Kate protested "you're supposed to make me get Gibbs' coffee for a month, or something like that."

"It's four little words, Kate, what's so hard about that?" Tony asked sweetly.

Kate sighed.

"Tony, you're a God."

Tony grinned.

"Tony, you're a God." A voice came out of his palm pilot.

"You jerk! I can't believe you recorded that!" Kate snapped, reaching for his palm pilot.

Tony held it out of reach.

"Tut-tut, Katie. That's no way to treat you're boyfriend." Tony said, grabbing her hand and bringing it to his lips. Kate snatched it away.

"Save that crap for the reunion, DiNozzo."
