OK, so I decided to continue this story. Obviously. Oh, and FYI, if you look on Wikipedia, it says when season two comes out on DVD! But I'll save you the trouble and tell you myself: It's released November 14. I'm so excited! I can't wait. November can't come fast enough!

Anyways, the story:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kate woke up the next morning with a kink in her neck. She sat up to stretch when she noticed she wasn't in her own bedroom. She wasn't even in her own house. She heard light snoring. Kate turned around and saw Tony still sleeping. She smiled but checked to make sure she was fully clothed, and after finding out that she was, she slid out of his arms that were wrapped around her and stood up, all while trying not to disturb him. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out some cooking supplies to make chocolate chip pancakes even though the clock showed it was time for lunch. As the pancakes baked, the sweet aroma flooded Tony's nostrils, waking him up. Kate smiled as she heard Tony's feet pad down the hall to the kitchen.

"Smells good," he said as he yawned.

Kate didn't say anything. She put three pancakes on a plate and served them to Tony.

"You know, I was surprised to find all of the ingredients here. You don't seem like the baking type," She teased.

"My mother taught me how to cook some basic Italian food and gave me some of her cook books."

"Oh."

"Kate! These are really good!"

"Thanks," she said quietly.

They finished their pancakes in silence.

"Can I take you to eat tonight? Or better yet, I'll cook for you! I just don't think you watching Serendipity while I kept dozing off constitutes as a first date," Tony said quickly.

"Sure. What are you going to make for me?"

"I'm not sure yet. Probably Saltimbocca Alla Romana, Panzanella, and for dessert, either Panna Cotta with strawberries, Gelato Bacio or Tiramisú. All my favorites that my mother used to make."

Kate looked stunned. The majority of the food Tony said in Italian. She wondered if he really could cook. It sounded like it. She was kinda excited to see how dinner turned out.

Tony took Kate back to her house so she could shower and change and went back to Tony's house for dinner.

"Why don't you watch a movie while I make dinner?"

"Okay. You have so many...which one?"

Tony thought a minute. "Young Frankenstein."

"What?" Kate deadpanned.

"Trust me! It's funny!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Tony was in the kitchen, he could hear Kate laughing at Gene Wilder and Teri Garr. He smiled to him self and kept cooking, trying not to splash anything on himself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tony, this looks great but what is it?" Kate pointed to the saltimbocca alla romana.

"Well, there are veal cutlets with prosciutto, that's Italian ham, and some sage, olive oil, a little garlic, spinach, salt and pepper, some butter and lemon juice."

Kate tasted it. "Wow. Tony, you're a really good cook," she said sincerely.

Then she tried the panzanella which was bread cubes with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt an pepper and basil leaves.

For dessert, Tony had made gelato bacio, which is kind of like hazelnut ice cream.

With a mouth full of gelato, Tony said, "what'dja think of that movie, Kate?"

"Cute. It was funny."

"See! I told you!" he yelled, sending gelato on Kate's face.

It suddenly became quiet.

"DiNozzo! You are so gonna get it!" Kate yelled as she threw some left over saltimbocca at Tony. He tossed some panzanella at her and it turned in to a complete food fight.

When they ran out of food to throw, Tony and Kate fell on the floor laughing.

"Okay, DiNozzo, you get to clean up."

"Why me?" he said incredulously.

"Because you started it!"

Tony replied only with, "You have some veal in your hair." He moved closer to pull the food from her hair. His face was just inches from hers and Kate closed the space by kissing him. They sat on the floor for a while just kissing when Tony said, "About the suggestion I made last night..."

"What about it?"

"Well?"

Kate stood up and helped Tony up. She walked further down the hall and disposed of her shirt on the floor.

Tony stared at Kate in disbelief. He thought his remark would get him an elbow in the ribs.

"Coming?"

"Oh, yeah!"

Kate giggled as Tony shut his bedroom door.

By the way, all of those recipes I found in the Williams-Sonoma Italian cookbook. Tell me if I should continue and give me some ideas because I don't have any idea where to go from here.
