She had never expected to come to love the one who destroyed her world. It seemed as though the top of the world fell on her, but he helped her push it off. So will forbidden love bloom, or will she nearly kill him… again? Tony Dinozzo never realized that she could make his life a living hell. After all, she was just a girl, and he was the school's star athlete. First he befriended the goth science geek, then he had to protect the loser computer geek too and finally his best friend Kate was put in a coma. His life seemed to start to crumble when he accidently crashed into the girl's car when he was driving to escape his father on that fateful icy day…
Chapter One
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital
Will you look them in the face
Could you look me in the face
Three cheers you fooled them all
Come on now hip hip hooray
When Anthony Dinozzo opened his eyes, he winced and said the first thing that came to mind. "The light… it burns!" His next words were, "I'm not dead, am I?"
"It's like that song, the Light that Burns the Sun by Watain. Obviously you aren't dead if you can still crack jokes," someone muttered and Tony snorted, ignoring the stab of pain. that pierced through his side.
"Hey, still breathing over here," he inputted, wishing he was alive enough to recognize the person speaking to him… it was almost like it was.. but no, she wouldn't be here. She was too busy being valedictorian to visit, plus the fact that he had pissed her off only a few hours before… wait, what had happened.
"What happened?" he mumbled, not opening his eyes past a small crack. While the light still burned into his retinas, he wanted to at least have some confirmation that he wasn't dreaming.
"You and another driver seemed to have lost control of their cars, resulting in you being in the hospital," it was that voice again, the one that just wouldn't go away.
"Please tell me you name isn't Kate, because Kate would never be this nice to me. She'd be too busy… doing something… to actually need to come here, and I'm sure my dad would never let her in here, plus the fact that exams are coming up and-" stop it Dinozzo, you're babbling, he scolded himself as the girl cut him off.
"Yes Tony," she said with a world-weary sigh, "My name is Caitlin Todd and I'm here to visit you. Your father doesn't know I'm here, if that makes it better," she confirmed and Tony remained silent before letting out a relived breath.
"Oh," he said carefully. "Does he even know that I'm in the hospital?" Silence. "Kate, I hate him, he doesn't even care about me, does he? I bet he didn't even send me a get-well soon card, he's that conceited," Still more silence. "Kate, stop ignoring- oh," Tony finally opened his eyes to see that Kate was gone and that a man was leaning against the door, his lean face gaunt and weary.
"You seem to be under the impression that the girl was still here," the man told him, stalking forward like a panther. "You are Anthony Dinozzo, yes?" he had a careful accent that was full of anger and rage.
"Do I want to be?" Tony watched a mixture of anger and amusement cross the foreign looking man's face.
"You probably do not," he admitted, glaring at Tony, "Considering that it is some of your fault that my wife and daughter are dead."
Tony's mouth went dry as he stared in shock at the man, any wise remark dying instantly on his lips. "I killed someone? When?" Tony babbled out, not knowing what the man was going on about. The heart monitor picked up slightly as his face drained of color.
"It wasn't entirely your fault that you crashed into their car," The man admitted, seeming to have to force the words out, "But you had lost control of your vehicle, resulting in the fatal crash. I will bear no ill will towards your health Anthony, but be warned, that the next time we meet, if you ever are this foolhardy again, I will pose a threat to you. Farewell Anthony," the man turned on his heel and strode out the door allowing it to gently swing closed on his tail. Tony watched his figure recede through the glass, not even realizing that Kate had entered the room.
"Tony," she said seriously and Tony jumped, not realizing she had arrived. "Who was that?"
"The father of the girl I killed. Do you know who I hit?" Tony asked before glaring at her, "And why did you leave me alone with him? He's creepy just like the frenchie who died in the beginning of The Man who Knew Too Much. I remember watching that movie with you," he sighed, then said seriously, "Who did I hit?"
"You hit Ziva David, her mother, and her younger sister Tali. Tali and her mother were killed instantly and Ziva was released from the hospital just in time to start the new semester with everyone else. I will say that she hates you though. She's a loner and sticks to herself. The only person she's ever hung out with is Abby," Kate trailed off, furrowing her brow in concentration.
"Abby Scuito," Tony said wistfully, "Craziest girl to walk on earth."
"Right her!" Kate snapped her fingers, "And I seem to recall you saying that the only reason you thought she was crazy was because she hung out with McGee," Kate smirked slightly, and her smile dropped off her face. "Tony, neither of them are that bad. They've been helping me out recently, because you've been in the hospital."
"Kate, don't start this again," Tony told Kate flatly.
"Once you're out of the hospital, I'll keep it going until you admit you're wrong," Kate rolled her eyes before shrugging. "Anyway, did you hear about Abby being chained to the sink in the girl's bathroom? She was stuck in there before Monica was ratted out by Jennifer. I think it was the Sarge that got them to come clean," Kate rolled her eyes. "The Sarge was pissed," she smirked again .Sergeant Leroy Jethro Gibbs, called the Sarge by the more adventurous students, was known to be cold and unforthcoming. He was the feared coach, and firmly believed in following orders when given. He even had fifty of his famous "Gibbs' Rules" posted up in the gym.
"I can imagine. He always protects geeks and Goths. I don't know why," Tony snorted.
"Did you hear that they're taking you off the teams this season? Evidently the basket ball team is training really hard and they cannot afford to wait for you to catch up," Kate dropped the bombshell hesitantly, knowing that Tony was going to flip.
"What the sh-" Tony began but was interrupted by Kate.
"Also, have you heard about the brother-sister pairings they're doing? The male seniors will randomly be paired with a junior, and the senior girls with a junior guy. For a few weeks the seniors will attend the junior classes with their little sibling. I managed to convince McGee to do some hacking for me, and you'll never guess who you're paired with," Kate gave him a wicked smile and Tony froze.
"You… and McGee, he's a junior, isn't he? Since when had this been going on?" Tony stared in shock at Kate as the rest of her words hit him. "Wait, who am I paired with?"
"You idiot, I'm not dating McGee. He's my little brother. I think he's cute!" Kate smiled innocently, "But he is really gullible, I think that I'll have to get him into shape…"
"Just spit it out!" Tony snapped in anger as he glared at Kate, his eyes cold and furious. "I just woke up in a hospital bed, and now I'm getting one series of bad news after another."
"Oh alright, you're not fun anymore. You were paired with one…" Kate pretended to think for a moment.
"Kate…" Tony growled.
"I thought you were going to be fun Tony, but you aren't patient in the slightest. You were paired with Kelly Gibbs!" Kate watched as the news sank into Tony's face, glee filling her expression.
"What?" Tony sputtered. "You have to be kidding me!"
"Nope," Kate grinned wickedly. "I think I'm going to have to get out my old camera."
"The Queen of Blackmail resurrects," Tony muttered. "But wait, isn't McGee a senior?"
"Yes, he is, but since he should be a junior we were paired together. I guess they thought he needed older wisdom after skipping junior year." Kate's shrug showed her frankness.
"God, this is going to suck," Tony hit is head, wincing slightly.
"For you maybe. You better not hurt Kelly or Sarge is going to kill you."
"Aren't I a lucky duck?"
"Tell me about it."

"So have you met Tony Dinozzo?" the strangely-dressed girl asked her exotic friend quietly as they sat alone on the grass, skipping class.
"In a matter of speaking," Ziva David leaned back onto the grass. "We have not been formally introduced, unless crashing into each other counts."
"I don't think so. He doesn't like me or McGee," with a snort, the dark-haired girl scruffed at the grass under her shoe, tearing it to pieces with the boot as she spoke. "He might not do all the pranks the others do to me, but he doesn't stop them either. I think he hates me."
"Abs, do you not think you are blowing this out of proportion?" Ziva sighed as her friend's eyes moved to meet the dark ones of the Isrealite, the former looking annoyed.
"How many times have I told you not to call me Abs?" Abby sighed slightly. "The whole grade has been calling me that since you came and only the Sarge can call me that."
"You did not answer my question, Abs," If Abby didn't know better, she would have said that Ziva looked amused.
"I don't know. I just don't think he's quite what he seems," Abby threw herself back against the earth, grinning slightly as she looked up at the sky. "You'll never guess what!" Abby's grin grew as she blurted out the next sentence. "Tim asked me out!"
Ziva laughed quietly as she shifted her arm, feeling the restraint of the split as she moved. "Where's he taking you on the date?"
Abby grinned back at her friend, looking positively thrilled. "The science museum!"

Tony was bored. Kate had left him so that she could go to school, and now he had nothing to do. Already the nurses had come in multiple times so that he could learn the extent of his injuries- one hairline fracture on his collarbone, a minor head injury, a injured knee, and a scar that would permanently slash on his face Indiana Jones style. He could only wonder how Ziva was, considering the fact that he had accidently hurt her family. With a guilty sigh, he convinced the nurses to let him leave, signing himself out of the hospital. If things went well, he would room over at Kate's for a few days until his father's fury blew over. First, however, he had to get some of his things from his house.
Walking carefully down his street, which was only a few blocks away from the hospital, he kept a wary eye out for his relative. He had long since refused to call them his family, to Tony, his parents came in the form of Mr. and Mrs. Todd because they were the ones that cared for him with genuine love and friendship, just like Tony imagined a real family to be.
Sneaking into his house, Tony silently tread up his stairs, alert for any sign of someone related to the Dinozzos. When they did not appear, he relaxed but was still tense and wary as he packed up the bags, making sure to pull out the few things he would need for school. All that was left for him to do was to go outside and sneak out the backyard.
With a experienced motion, Tony locked the door and turned, slamming right into his father's fist.
Tony stumbled back, his face ashen as his injuries screamed out a protest to the unexpected abuse. "The hell?" he sputtered as his father hit him again, this time harder. Tony yelped and scrambled to his feet, ignoring the pain from his knee as he grabbed his bag and ran, his father pursuing him. As soon as Tony stumbled, his father was on him, one booted foot connecting into Tony's ribs.
"Stop it," Tony gasped out.
"You little cur! You are a failure! Dinozzo's don't go to hospitals- we put people in them!" his dad screeched swinging his fist back before connecting with Tony's nose. Tony heard a crunch as his father swung back for another blow.
Tony winced and tried to leap back, but was surprised when the blow never contacted him. Managing to look up, he saw his father turning with an enraged expression on his face as a grizzled, silver-haired man stood there, his expression annoyed as he caught the flying fist.
"What is the problem here?" he asked as two cool hands held Tony's face.
"Are you okay?" a soft voice asked and Tony found himself looking into blue eyes.
"Peachy," Tony answered Kelly just before fainting.
"Yeah, it looks like it," he heard her snort distantly, but by that time, everything was black.
Well, do you like? I think it was interesting, even if it wasn't that good. I liked the prologue better.
No this won't be a Telly story. It'll probably have the following pairings, but I'm not entirely sure yet. And yes, Kelly is alive. Shannon will be explained… eventually… probably in the next chapter.
Pairings:
Love
Tiva McAbby Kari Lee/Palmer
Friendship Tabby McKate Tate
And so on…
