The disclaimer is back in the 1st chapter.
And now...The Last Chapter!
-------------------------------------------
The whole way home, Tony kept raving about the plane, constantly touching buttons and messing around with things that he didn't know the use for.
Kate finally saw Tony in a different light. Sure, he still acted like a kid, but it was different. Now, not only was he her partner, but her boyfriend. And that should have sounded weird to her. She never would have imagined in a million years that ladies man Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo would be her boyfriend. It should have sounded weird to her.
But it didn't.
Kate needed to tell some one. She needed to get some weight off her chest. Some one who can keep really big secrets.
Well...She thought...McGee would spread it all over the agency. And Ducky would tell me stories for two hours about past flings and romances with details no one should know about. And Abby...wait...Perfect! Abby would never tell anyone about a major secret. She can be trusted with the details of this event.
The plane landed and a NCIS- issued sedan picked up the team. As soon as they arrived at the bullpen, Kate dropped her gear off at her desk and made a beeline for the elevator.
"Whoa, Kate!" Tony followed her.
She looked frantic, nervous almost. She wondered what Abby would say.
"Where ya goin'?"
"Um, I'll be right back."
"Well, OK...I'll be waiting," he called after her as the elevator doors closed.
"Have a nice weekend, DiNozzo. And don't do any thing Abby wouldn't do!" Gibbs called out to Tony on his way to the stairs.
What's that supposed to mean? He thought and then asked, "What about rule #12?"
Gibbs turned around, his faced screwed up in mock astonishment, "Rule #12? Since when was there a rule #12?"
"Since- ...oh, I get it, boss... you'r-"
By the time Tony figured it out, Gibbs had already gotten into the little silver convertible with the mysterious red-head.
---------------------------------------
"So, that's what happened. Why are you laughing?" Kate said after finishing recalling last night's events. Abby wasn't laughing because it was funny. OK, it was funny but that's not why.
Abby tried to tell Kate between fits of laughter what Gibbs wanted to happen down in Cuba, but only caught, "Gibbs...you...Tony...Together...Cuba...worked..."
"Wait, What!"
Abby finally calmed down.
"For the longest time, Gibbs and I have been trying to get you and Tony together," she kept laughing and then realizing what she had said, she added seriously, "but you can't tell Gibbs I told you he has a soft side."
Kate chuckled.
"So," Kate said, finally figuring things out, "you and Gibbs have been working this whole time to get me and Tony together but kept failing. And now that we are, are you and Gibbs happy?"
"Ecstatic!"
Abby started laughing, "I can't believe Gibbs did it on his own. I thought he would need me!"
"Um, Abs, He went to bed before we went to the club."
"Really?" Abby was very confused.
"Really," Kate said matter-of-factly.
"Oh! He's taking all of the credit! Jethro Gibbs, a Marine, lied to me!" Abby said in an outrage.
"Did he ever say that he did it all by himself?" Kate wondered.
"Well, no..."
"See. Gibbs doesn't lie."
"Kate? Um, you wanna get going?" Tony stuck his head in the doorway to Abby's lab.
"Oh, yeah, um... see ya tomorrow, Abs!"
"Bye, Kate! Bye, Tony! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" She yelled as they loaded the elevator.
"That's exactly what Gibbs said to me before he left," Tony told Kate with a confused face as the doors closed. Kate smiled.
Abby looked very pleased with herself. She shut down her computers, grabbed her half empty Caff-Pow, hugged Bert once (hard enough to where he farted really loud), found her keys and headed home.
She was just about to hercar when she passed Tony's SUV she noticed two shapes awfully close to each other. She looked closer and realized that it was Kate and Tony making out in the front seat. She giggled and took off the lid of her Caff-Pow. Abby aimed for the windshield and splashed her drink all over the window. Kate and Tony looked up, scared shitless.
"Hey!" Abby pounded on the hood of the car, "Get a room, you two! Jeez!"
Kate blushed and looked at her feet. Tony grinned and shook his head at Abby.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you that spying on people is impolite?" Tony asked curiously.
"Yes." Abby walked off, grinning from ear to ear.
"C'mon, Katie. Let's go home."
"OK, DiNozzo, you still can't call me 'Katie'. Only my father can do that."
"Aw, Come on, Katie. I thought we were on a first name basis?..."

Well, I think that's the end. But if you have any more ideas, please let me know.
This story was intended as a one shot and look what it turned into. And I got kick out of writing it. Just tell me what you think. And I think I can handle flames. Just don't be too mean.
