I do not own NCIS

Tony woke up about 30 minutes earlier then normal. He showered and shaved. Then got into his car and drove to work. When he arrived he knew he was early. So he got to work.

Tony started by loosening the screws on McGee's chairs back rest. Then he took all of the staples from Ziva's desk. Not as bad as what he did to McGee, but Tony wasn't stupid. No one wants to start a war with Ziva, at least no one who likes their body in a normal healthy state.

Content with is work Tony sat back down at his desk and started to work on his past due reports. Ten minutes later McGee came in. Said hello and sat down. The chair leaned back and then the loose screw buckled over the weight causing the back part of the chair to fall off. McGee shouted and fell over. As Tony started laughing and clapping his hands McGee stood back up and started to fix his chair.

"McGee did you put on weight?" Tony said still laughing.

"Tony that's not funny I could have broken my neck." McGee said as he fixed his chair and sat back down.

"McGee an agent is always aware of his surroundings." Tony swiveled his chair as he faced McGee. "Like an owl in the night looking for the lonely mouse." Tony made fake binoculars with his hands and then put them up to his eye's and pretended to scan the bullpen. This also cut his peripheral vision off.

As Ziva walked to the bullpen and saw Tony being, well Tony. She saw what his field of vision was and decided on a little fun. She changed her footwork to stepping on her toes first and did a quick quiet run to Tony's desk. She walked around to Tony's back leaned over and said "But you know Tony. In the bird world there is always someone with bigger claws."

Tony jumped and spun around to see Ziva. After a quick nervous look he smiled again. "Well Ziva that would be true if they had claws. See Birds like owls or other raptors don't have claws, they have talons." Smiling Tony sat back in his chair and started to bask in his little victory.

"I didn't know you were somewhat of an ornithologist Tony." McGee said looking surprised.

"McGeek what are you talking about?" Tony looked over at McGee in confusion.

"An Ornithologist Tony It's someone who studies birds." McGee said explaining the term.

"McGee do I look like a bird watcher to you? There are far better things to watch then birds. I just happen to know that bit of information from a project I helped Jessica with a while back.

"Speaking of which how did it go yesterday? Did you get to see her?" Ziva asked from behind her desk.

"Yes I did. And you all will to in less then 30 minutes so let's look sharp people" Tony clapped his hands together and gave both Ziva and McGee a look over.

"Tony I have never seen you so anxious." Ziva said teasing him.

Tony ignored her. He didn't want to get into it with Ziva now. Jessica was important to him. She wasn't just a pen pal she was like a little sister to him. This also meant she was the only family he really had out side of the NCIS family. He just really wanted the two to get along.

Gibbs walked in and looked at his team standing around. He saw DiNozzo talking to Ziva and McGee. He was pretty sure that he knew what they were talking about. He was remembering the conversation he had with Linda the head chaperon for the school trip last night. They talked about what the kids would need to bring and what the day's plan consisted of. She was a strait talker and he liked it. They somehow ended up on the topic of Tony. She was surprised when she had found out who Tony really was. Apparently most people including some teachers believed Tony was Jessica's older brother. This made Gibbs laugh a little because he thought Tony seemed like the younger brother from how Linda described Jessica.

"Morning Boss." Tony said looking up at Gibbs.

"Don't you have somewhere to be DiNozzo?" Gibbs replied and then took a sip from his coffee.

Tony looked at his cell phone and tensed up as he said something under his breath. The team watched as he grabbed his coat and started for the door. He got in the elevator and started to head down.

"Boss what are the plans for the day with the tour?" McGee asked after Tony left.

"I too would like to know. I will find it hard to work with kids following Tony everywhere." Ziva asked looking over at Gibbs while he stood up.

"Well then you don't have to worry." Gibbs said as he smiled. Ziva knew that smile, it meant Gibbs had a curve ball and was about to throw it. "Because you are also going to have a group of students following you around everywhere as well."

"What? You mean we are also giving the tour?" McGee asked Gibbs, his tone showed that he liked the idea.

"No McGee as in a chaperon. We don't have any cases so we are going to help the school out." Gibbs said as he started to walk to the elevator.

"I'm sorry but what are you saying?" Ziva said as she fell in behind Gibbs. McGee was also following her. They stepped into the elevator and hit the lobby button.

Tony walked out of the elevator and into chaos. He was looking at about five dozen high school students all set loose in the main building lobby. After taking three steps out of the elevator he was grabbed from behind. Turning he looked down to see Jessica smiling up at him.

"Hey Tony" Jessica said as she gave him a morning hug. She was looking well rested and very happy.

Tony smiled back and gave Jessica a quick hug back. He looked back up and saw Jessica's friends running over to them. He saw Chloe first. She was Jessica's friend since before Tony knew Jessica. He liked her because she was a good friend not the fair weather kind Jessica seemed to attract. He saw Josh and was surprised to see he had dressed up. He had a polo shirt on and some nice cargo pants on. Tony still didn't like him. Also running over were a couple of kids Tony hadn't met at the airport.

"Hi Tony, you look good." Chloe said extending out a hand. Tony took the hand and noticed the firm hand shake.

"Nice to see you too Chloe" Tony said back. Tony then noticed the shirt that Chloe was wearing. It was a basic black t-shirt but the logo it had on was unfamiliar to him. The shirt read AFK. Then it dawned on him. "Chloe I see you are one of Abby's friends."

"You bet are we going to meet her today? We were promised by Jessica that you could get her out of the lab. Or could you take us there I want to see it." Chloe was talking faster then anyone should before 10 am.

"We will see." Tony said. Tony looked up just in time to see Linda walking over to greet him. He saw her facial dislike of the way Tony and Jessica were hugging each other. Tony quickly took a step back only to get bumped by a young student who was walking behind him.

"I'm sorry I didn't see you." Tony picked the kid up. The young man said it was fine and then rushed off.

"Mister DiNozzo so nice of you to join us I expect this time your whole team will be joining us?" Linda said and Tony turned around. This caused Tony to jump as he looked at her. She was not pleased with the way this day had turned out so far that much was clear to Tony.

"Yes they should be down shortly. In fact I think I will go back up and get them" Tony turned and started for the door. Smiling at his own cleverness he turned around and smiled at Linda who was still looking over at him as he hit the button. Just as the doors were about to close Jessica jumped into the elevator.

"So I finally get to meet them." Jessica said before Tony could speak.

"Yea I guess you do." Tony sighed as the elevator jumped an inch and stated to head up. It stopped on Tony's floor and the door opened. Standing in front of Tony and Jessica was Gibbs, Ziva, and McGee.

"Boss I was just about to call you. The class is down in the lobby but this is." Tony started but was interrupted by Jessica who stepped forward.

"Is Jessica, It's nice to meet you Agent Gibbs. Tony talks about you a lot." Jessica was not standing in front of Gibbs as Ziva and McGee walked around and stopped next to Gibbs.

"Well Tony does talk a lot." Gibbs said smiling and then taking a sip from his coffee cup.

Jessica laugh was followed by a small almost silent laugh from Gibbs. After that Gibbs walked into the elevator. He said nothing as he pushed the button and rode the elevator down.

"Hi my name is Special Agent Timothy McGee. I am on the same team as Tony." Tim said deciding to take the lead.

"Nice to meet you, I've read all your books. I think it's really cool how you are able to incorporate your own life into the story including the characters." Jessica smiled as she saw McGee frown and look at Tony who was smiling. She remembered Tony telling her about how he joked with McGee.

"You must be Ziva!" Everyone was taken by surprise by Jessica's excitement.

"Yes I am." Ziva replied after looking at Tony with a look of confusion. She was met with a look of equal confusion and what she thought was fear. She looked back over to Jessica who was still smiling. "What is it?"

"Nothing it's just great to finally meet you." Jessica said her smile as big as it could get.

"Nice to meet you too Jessica." Ziva said slowly. Looking from

"Well we better head back down. We just let Gibbs go down to the lobby without backup." Tony said walking back into the elevator.

"Why would Gibbs need back up?" McGee asked as he and everyone else followed Tony into the elevator.

"Because McGeek." Tony said smiling

"He entered a war zone." Jessica said finishing his sentence.

And another one bites the dust! I will be posting more after the New Year so wait and read. Why is Jessica so happy to meet Ziva? Does Abby's army pose a threat to NCIS? All will come to fruition when this story is done. Please R&R. And here are some more letters
