Ziva woke up the next morning nice and early like she normally does but something was different. Tony's arm was wrapped around her waist and he was obviously still asleep. Ziva tried to move his arm from around her but he just proceeded to pull her closer to his chest. Ziva gave up trying to move him and settled for skipping her run to sleep in, though she would probably not fall asleep again. She snuggled back into Tony's chest and tried to fall asleep again.
Abby and McGee were in the same potion but neither of them was trying to get up to go for and early morning run.
Gibbs was getting up and heading to the cafeteria to get some coffee, how shocking. He would have much rather spent this vacation time in his basement working on his boat or spending time in Stillwater with his dad. Instead he had to spend it with two sets of lovebirds that were acting like children.
Tony and Ziva's alarm clock went off at 6:30 just like it did yesterday, but instead of just Tony complaining, Ziva was as well. "Do you think Abby would be mad if we just stayed at the hotel today? I'm so sore from all of the walking we did yesterday." Tony said crawling out of bed heading to the bathroom.
"Suck it up! We are not bailing on Abby. Yet ready, we said we would meet them outside in a half hour." Ziva said as she pulled out a turquoise low-cut short-sleeve- shirt and khaki shorts out of her suitcase.
"Yeah, yeah." Tony said as he walked out of the bathroom heading to his suitcase. He picked out a navy blue t-shirt and khaki cargo shorts.
They both got dressed and made their way to where they were going to meet Abby, McGee, and Gibbs.
"Where are we going today? Tell me it's someplace that doesn't include as much walking." Tony said complaining.
"We're going to Epcot. It's this really cool park that has all these restaurant and store from a bunch of different countries. And yes, we are going to be walking a lot." Abby said.
Twenty minutes later, they had arrived at Epcot. They all checked their tickets and were now standing in front of the large silver ball. "You guys do what you want. Me and Ziva are going to spend the day together." Tony said. Before anyone could argue with him he was dragging Ziva behind him off in the of a store.
"What are we doing Tony?" Ziva asked as she followed him into the store he had dragged her to.
"We are going to put your spy skills to the test." Tony said as they stood waiting in line at a counter.
"Then why are we in this store?"
"We are doing the Kim Possible World Show Case thingy." Tony said as he talked to the lady behind the counter who gave him a cell phone. Tony started walking away from the counter with Ziva following him. "Have you ever heard of the show Kim Possible? Of course not, why would you have. Any how, this thing rings," he said pointing to the phone, "and it gives you a clue where to go to find the next clue and so on."
Ziva was about to say something but was cut off by the phone ringing. A cartoon dude gave them a clue where to go, and both Tony and Ziva agreed that they needed to go to the England part of the park.
Ziva felt like a child going around to different places in the park and asking people if they had a clue or something. She found the clues really easy to solve and her and Tony finished in only a half hour.
"That was so easy." Ziva said as they walked out of the build where they were returning the phone.
"It has to be so that kids can do it. Besides, it wasn't made for special agents to do." Tony said.
They saw Abby, McGee, and Gibbs walking around and went by them. "What have you guys been up to?" McGee asked.
"We did the Kim Possible phone thingy. What'd you guys do?" Tony asked.
"We went on the Nemo ride! It was awesome!" Abby said.
"They have a Finding Nemo ride? We have to go on that. That is like the best movie ever!" Ziva said highly out of character. "What?" She said when she noticed everybody was looking at her funny.
"You like Finding Nemo?" Tony asked smirking.
"Yes, so what? It has a good plot. Stop looking at me weird!" Ziva said defensively.
"Okay, fine. We'll go on that and then we'll meet you back here and do something together." Tony said following Ziva who had been smart and picked up a map.
"What? NO!" Ziva said as she lead Tony to the Nemo ride.
"What's wrong?" Tony asked walking next to her ever so casually putting his arm on her shoulder. He was surprised when she didn't pull away but instead lean into his embrace.
"They don't have an Israeli country thing here or what ever they call it." she said stated disappointedly.
"Yeah, I saw that when we walked in. Is there any other place you would want to eat since they don't have Israel?" Tony asked as they got in a very long line for they Finding Nemo ride.
"Um… I really like German and Italian." She said as they took another step forward in line.
"How about we go to the German Biergarten restaurant. If you really want Italian food you could always come over to my place and I could make you an authentic Italian meal."
"Is that your way of asking me on a date?" Ziva asked slyly.
"If you want to think of it that way, then sure. Now, what's with you and Finding Nemo?" Tony said getting back to and earlier conversation.
"Is it possible that I can like a cartoon movie?"
"It's possible, but not probable." They were almost and the front of the line and were about to board their 'submarine'.
"If I tell you something very private that I have never told any one, do you promise not to tell anyone?" Ziva asked seriously.
"I would never think of it." Tony replied just as seriously.
"Would you believe me if I said that I wish my childhood was like what the little fish's was? I never had the dad that cared about me so much I purposely did things to get him off my back. I had to do bold things to get him to notice me and even then he didn't care about me." Ziva said in a barely audible tone.
Tony listened the whole time she was talking and instead of saying anything when she had finished, he pulled her to his side and hugged her. She hid her face in his shoulder until she could make sure the tires that were threatening to fall were under control.
When they finally were at the front of the ride, they got in their submarine. They rode the ride in silence. Ziva was tightly hugging Tony's side. She did enjoy the ride, but the conversation she had had before the ride had put a damper on her mood.
Tony had noticed her change in mood as well. He was going to make it his mission to make the rest of the vacation the best one she had ever had.
They got off the ride and walked back to where they were going to meet the rest of their group.
Between the five of them, they decided that they were going to go on Mission Space then were going to go to Germany to eat lunch.
The ride has you chose between the more intense Orange team or the less intense Yellow team. McGee decided that he didn't want to go on the ride because he had heard that people had died on the ride. Since you have to have teams of four, this worked perfectly.
Ziva, Tony, Abby, and Gibbs all decided that they would go on the Orange team because it had a shorter line. When they finally got into their 'rocket ship', they had to watch a movie they the simulation of a trip to Mars.
After the ride finished, Gibbs was regretting have several cups of coffee already that day. That was a lot to say coming from an experienced Marine. "Your so lucky you didn't go on that ride, McGee. You would have had to go back to the hotel and change your shirt because your breakfast would have been all over it. And you probably would have needed a new pair of pants to." Tony teased him.
"Cut it out DiNozzo." Gibbs said hitting him on the back of the head. "Let's go to lunch." he said walking towards Germany.
"I'm not that hungry any more, Gibbs." Ziva said not in any mood to eat after that experience. "They could use that ride as a new torture method!"
"You eat now and we may have time to go back to the hotel later this afternoon." Gibbs said as they walked into the restaurant.
They sat down at a table and their waitress came over for their drink orders. Everybody then left the table to go get their food from the buffet tables.
Ziva was the first one back and was the only one there when the waitress came back with their drinks. Ziva asked where she was from in German and the waitress was delighted to talk to her in her native tongue. When everybody else came back they where listening in on the two women's conversation trying to understand only a few words of it, After a while of chatting with Ziva, the waitress had to leave to wait other tables.
They finished eating lunch and were touring all of the countries. They walked through all eleven countries. Ziva purposely walked very quickly through Morocco because it brought back bad memories of a couples of years before. After they finished, they got in line of the ride Soaring.
The ride simulated a hang gliding ride over California. McGee opted to sit this ride out as well for fear of heights combined with motion sickness. Abby also skipped this ride saying her and McGee would go on a less boring ride trying to make McGee feel better of missing all of the rides.
After three hours of standing in line, they finally were boarding the hang glider. The ride actually left the ground and was hanging in front of an Imax screen. The three agents thought it was an okay ride but it was a little boring.
They met up with Abby and McGee at a snack bar near the Soaring ride. They all decided that they had gone on all of the rides they had wanted to go on and all vouched for going back to the hotel and hanging out by the pool.
When they made it back to the hotel, they all went to their rooms to change into their swim suites. They all met at the lap pool by their rooms. Ziva was wearing a brown bikini with teal flowers on it. Tony was wearing orange swim trunks with a green tropical design on them. Abby was wearing a plane black bikini with a bunch of mini silver skulls and cross bones scattered through out it. McGee was wearing plane green swim trunks with a plane grey NCIS t-shirt. Gibbs was wearing plane red swim trunks with a navy colored Marines shirt.
They decided to stay at the lap pool and not go to the pool with the hot tub and water slide because Tony pointed out that all of the families with kids would be there. Ziva ever so nicely pointed out that Tony would fit right in there then. Tony proceeded to pick her up and throw her over his shoulder. Tony walked to the edge of the pool and threw her in.
Ziva screamed as the cold water hit her body. When she resurfaced, she splashed Tony with water. Since he was now wet, he jumped in after her. McGee and Abby followed suite. Gibbs stayed out of the water watching his agents act like teenagers.
"Chicken fight!" Abby called as she pushed McGee under water so she could climb on his shoulders.
Ziva had no idea what Abby was talking about so she was just standing there. Tony went under water and snuck under her. When he stood up, a shocked Ziva was on his shoulders. McGee, with Abby on his shoulders, walked over to Tony and Ziva and Abby pushed Ziva off Tony's shoulders.
When Ziva resurfaced, Tony started yelling at her. "How could you lose to McGeek and Abby?"
"I don't know what I as supposed to be doing!"
"Oh… that makes sense. Well you are going to be on my shoulders and the object is to push Abby off McGeek's shoulders." Tony explained.
"Oh, I can do that." She said as Tony went under water for her to get on his shoulders again.
When both teams were ready, they started facing off. Tony and Ziva of course won every time. After a while, they decided to go the other pool with the water slide.
They got out of the pool and rapped up in their towels. When they got to the other pool, they put their stuff down on several lounge chairs. Abby said she was going to work on her tan because she was to pale, shocking! McGee and Gibbs went in the hot tub and Ziva followed Tony to the water slide.
Ziva could feel all of the men at the pool staring at her. The bikini didn't leave much to the imagination. Tony also noticed this so he put his arm around her waist and sent glares at any man he saw staring at her. "There's a lot of creeps that keep staring at you." Tony said to her.
"I noticed." she said as she leaned into Tony's embrace.
Once all five agents were done swimming, they started a game of beach volleyball. It was Tony and Ziva against Gibbs, Abby, and McGee. Tony and Ziva ended up winning 25 to 13. All thirteen points on the other team were scored by Gibbs.
They went to their rooms around 8:30 that evening. Gibbs, Abby, and McGee went to bed a short while later. Ziva decided that she would go for a run because she hadn't gone for her run that morning. Tony opted to go with her.
They ran in a peaceful silence for a while listening to the sound of the noise from the pools and other places around their hotel.
After they had ran what Ziva estimated was three miles, they decided to take a quick dip in the pool to rid their bodies of sweat. They returned to the room and neither bothered to take a shower after the run thanks to the pool. They both changed into pajamas getting ready for bed. Tony was wearing boxers and an Ohio State t-shirt. Ziva was wearing short shorts and a cami. They both brushed their teeth at the same time jokingly pushing each other out of the way to spit Into the sink. Then together they got into bed to sleep for another long day tomorrow.
