Author's note: Hey! So like I said before, this is my second fanfic, so I'm still kind of new to this. Please review, I love it when you do. Also, I want to know if this story is worth continuing. I want to thank you all for the reviews that I got on the first chapter. That's why I updated so quickly. :) Especially thanks for the reviews saying I kept it in character, I am trying my best but it's a little more difficult with this one since they're younger. I hope that I am trying to keep in as much in character as I can! Thank you for reviewing, and thank you for reading my story!

Tony yawned and closed his books. The bell rang and he was more than ready to leave math class. He put the doll down and grabbed his bag, slinging it over his shoulder before taking Jake back in his arms.

Tony rolled his eyes at how much of a pain this baby was already, it had began crying twice already and everyone got annoyed when their babies started crying as a result. The math teacher, who already had a new baby at home looked frantic when cries haunted him even at school and he had a short temper for the rest of the class.

Tony raced out of the room, eager to find Ziva so she could take over. Jake started to cry again so Tony rushed to her locker, he walked up to her and looked frantic as he practically shoved the baby into her arms.

"I believe it's your turn Ziva, I'm done." He raised his arms in defeat and noticed a smile on Ziva's face.

As soon as she took Jake in her arms, he stopped crying. Tony stared at her with his mouth open, shocked at what ever power she held over the baby.

Ziva merely grinned at the look on his face, "What is it Tony? You can't handle a little doll for an hour?" She shook her head in fake disdain and couldn't help her smile from growing at the look on his face.

Tony merely grinned, "So… I guess I'll see ya then."

Ziva nodded, "Talk to you later."

Tony went to the cafeteria and grabbed a tray of food, he spotted some of his buddies and sat down. Matt grinned at him mischievously and Tony finally broke down after everyone continued to stare at him, "What?!"

Kyle, who was sitting next to Tony rolled his eyes, "You know what man, you're paired with Ziva!"

Tony tried to make light of the situation, if his friends found out how much he actually liked her, they'd never let him live it down. After all, he was Anthony DiNozzo, the captain of the football team and most popular guy in school. He could get any girl he wanted, save Ziva, and even the thought of him having a real relationship was ridiculous.

Tony simply shrugged and said, "Yeah, I'm paired with Ziva. It's no big deal."

Tony watched as all his friends' mouths dropped open in surprise, Matt was the first to recover and questioned, "So, what, you mean you don't even care that you got paired with the hottest chick in school?" The shock was evident in his voice.

Tony rolled his eyes, "We're friends." He spotted Ziva and Abby walk through the door and grinned, "There she is right now."

Tony turned around to see Matt grinning at him, "What?"

Matt rolled his eyes, "You know what. Don't try to tell us that you don't like her, you were totally drooling over her!"

Tony rolled his eyes, trying to dismiss the comment, he simply said, "I was just looking at her, she's my friend you know…"

Kyle cut him off, "Yeah, we know, but do you usually check out your friends?"

Tony could feel his face getting red and he made a quick exit, "Well, I actually have to go and talk to her… about the assignment and stuff, so I'll see you guys at the game tonight."

He grabbed his tray and left, his friends all laughing as he made his way to Ziva. Tony chose to ignore them and smiled as Ziva sat down with Abby. He took a seat across from Ziva and looked at Jake. "So… I was thinking about what to do after school. I have a game that I can't miss, but afterwards we should probably go to either your place or mine with the baby."

Ziva nodded, realizing that they would have to spend a lot of time together in the next few days. "Sure, Abby and I have nothing to do after school; we'll watch your game, right Abs?"

Tony looked to Abby who nodded, "Sure! Timmy will come too! I'm sure of it!"

She smiled, but Tony raised an eyebrow, "Timmy?"

Abby blushed and looked down, "Yeah… well, I just thought it sounded better than Tim, but whatever. Either way he's my partner so he'll come to the game too."

Tony smirked, Abby was so obvious, but he decided to let it go. "Sure. Sounds good to me."

He grinned at Ziva and she smiled back, "So… what do you guys want to do after school?"

Tony shrugged, but Abby gave Ziva a huge smile, "BOWLING! I love bowling, and it' perfect with four people!"

Ziva and Tony nodded, agreeing to go bowling. Tony grinned, "So I guess that means you guys don't mind losing 'cause you know I'm gonna win."

He gave them a cheeky grin, the one he usually used to entice girls and stretched his arms in front of him, "Yup! You're all going down!"

Ziva smiled sweetly, revealing her dimples to all, including Tony's friends who continued to watch her. "I guess I will just have to prove you wrong then, for I am sure that I will beat you all."

Abby smiled, Tony and Ziva always were competitive, and it would be fun to see them contend. Tim joined them later and they all agreed to watch Tony play, then go bowling. They finished their lunch and headed off to their next class. Tony had gym and Ziva had biology, so she took Jake with her, and even though Tim offered, Abby refused to part with their baby who they decided to name Andrew.

Ziva packed her books in her backpack and slung it over her shoulder. She took Jake back from Abby, who was waiting for her. They began walking towards the football field where Tony was warming up for his game.

The game started in about ten minutes so they quickly scanned the stands until they saw Tim. Abby smiled brightly and Ziva grinned. She walked a little faster than Abby and sat down next to the aisle, making sure Abby had to sit next to Tim.

Tim didn't mind and neither did Abby, but she looked at Ziva curiously. Ziva shrugged and explained, "I like being on the outside, easier to see."

Abby smiled and happily slid into her seat. She put her hand on the arms rest and quickly pulled back when she realized Tim already had his hand there.

Ziva smirked as they both blushed furiously, Tim instantly pulling his hand back so that Abby could have the arm rest.

Ziva chuckled at the looks on their faces, she couldn't help but notice how cute of a couple they would make.

Ziva wasn't exactly a "girly-girl" who loved to play match-maker, but she did like to see her two friends happy and mentally began plotting different ways to get them together.

Ziva watched as the game was about to begin. All the players were coming out of the tunnel from their dressing rooms. She rolled her eyes as the female voices grew much louder when Tony walked out with a huge grin on his face, obviously enjoying the attention.

The game started off quickly as Tony scored a touchdown. Many more followed and Ziva couldn't help herself from smiling, although Tony could be immature, he definitely was a very talented football player.

She looked over to Abby and Tim, wondering if they were enjoying the game too. Abby was cheering loudly as Tony made another break-away, but Ziva smiled as she noticed Tim was watching Abby more than the game.

Tim saw Ziva smirking at him and he quickly returned his attention to the game, making Ziva smile even wider at how easy it was to make him blush.

Tony leaned against his car and waited for Ziva, Abby and Tim to appear so he could drive them to the bowling alley.

He flashed Melissa a grin as she walked by, and his grin got wider when she redirected her path and walked towards him.

"Great game Tony!" She said with a smile.

Tony simply grinned, "Thanks, I saw you in the stands cheering. Maybe you'd like to grab a bite sometimes?"

She smiled and nodded enthusiastically, "I'd love to, so… guess I'll see you tomorrow then?"

Tony nodded and grinned as she left him with a smile. He only had to wait about a minute longer before Ziva, Abby and Tim appeared. Ziva sat in the front seat and Abby and Tim sat in the back.

Tony got in and drove them all to the bowling alley. They went inside and paid for their lane and shoes.

"So…" Tony began, "Ready to be amazed by my amazing skills?"

Ziva rolled her eyes but decided to let it go. They all grabbed a ball and Tony went first, causing Ziva to burst into laughter as he bowled a gutter ball.

"Excuse me Tony, but where are those amazing bowling skills you were talking about? I've only been in America for a short time, but even I know that the point of the game is to hit down the pins."

Tony rolled his eyes at her, "Whatever Zee-vah," He said, dragging her name out to annoy her, "I'm simply letting you guys get ahead a little first so you have more of a chance."

Ziva rolled her eyes, "Sure Tony, whatever you say." She picked up the ball and threw it into the lane, knocking down every pin on her first try. She turned around with wide eyes and she and Abby hugged each other before Abby picked up her ball.

She bowled a spare and smiled at Tim who shyly congratulated her as she sat down.

Tony rolled his eyes, those two had been friends forever and it was clear that they both wanted to take it to the next level, why didn't they just date already?

He grinned and opened his mouth to comment but was quieted when Ziva elbowed him in the stomach. "Hey! What was that for?!" He asked.

Ziva smiled innocently, "I believe you know Tony." She leaned in closer and whispered in his ear, "They really like each other, do not ruin it for them."

Tony made and innocent face and opened his mouth to protest, then shut it, realizing Ziva would see right through his lie. He sighed and picked up his ball, Tony sighed in frustration when he bowled yet-another gutter-ball.

He sat down and rolled his eyes at Ziva who smiled triumphantly. He waited until she was just about to throw when he cleared his throat, a huge grin spreading across his face as she sent her ball flying into the gutter. "TONY!"

She stomped up to him, but Tony smiled innocently, "Sorry, I got a sore throat, it's not my fault you scare easy."

He grinned as she shot him one more evil look before sitting down.

Hey! Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it and feel free to review and let me know how I'm doing. :)
