Katelyn Geer walked down the school hallway and out into the grassy pavilion to join her friends for lunch. At only seventeen Kate had it all, she was gorgeous with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, she was a track star and at the top of her class. As Kate approached she pulled a brown paper sack out of her backpack and sat down at a table next to her best friend Isabelle. Isabelle, or Izzy as everyone called her was Kate's polar opposite, she had short jet black hair and while Kate was a perfectionist Izzy's goal was to just have fun. Watching critically as Kate pulled food from her bag Izzy laughingly said " so what does the crazy veggie girl have for lunch today?" Kate laughed "O don't tease I'm a vegetarian not a crazy veggie girl as you so eloquently put it!" Izzy reached into her back pack and pulled out a photo of a grinning dark haired baby "look I finally found the perfect picture to use for the senior assembly next month." Kate smiled "Aww Izzy you were just too cute." "I know!" Izzy teased "but what about you do you have one yet?" Kate nodded well mom gave me a few and I found one that I really like in an old box." "Well let's see them" Izzy demanded. Kate nodded and removed a handful of snapshots "this is my favorite" Kate said gesturing to one that showed a toe headed blue eyed baby being held in her moms arms. They flipped the photo over and saw the inscription "Mom + K.G. at 15 months." Izzy smiled "it's a beautiful picture but since when did your mom have red hair?" "What?" Kate said Izzy snatched the photo and flipped it back over pointing to the corner where some of Kate's moms hair was visible "see its red?" Kate laughed " o gosh must of just been one of the crazy fashion trends but jeez mom as a red head, now that would be hilarious."

"What do ya got for me Abbs" said Gibbs as he and Tony walked into her lab Monday morning. Abby looked exhausted but smiled as he came over and said "Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs! Guess what?" Gibbs sighed "Not in a guessing mood Abby." "Fine" she sighed " I got a partial print on the envelope and it matched to Chris Langer!" Gibbs raised his eyebrow but kissed Abby on the cheek "You're the best Abbs." He said as he walked toward the door. Tony was just about to follow Gibbs out when called."Tony wait! Would you do me a big favor please please please!" Tony laughed "what is it Abbs?" "Well my brother Luca's daughter Isabelle is graduating high school next month and there's this big event at her school that I have to go to would you mind being my date?" Tony nodded and grinned "No problem Abbs" "Thank you! " she said while giving him a bone crushing hug.
