A/N: Thanks for all your reviews for the last chapter!! 13 reviews!!!! That is awesome!!! I love you all! =] Please read and review!

Ziva sat next to Tony at breakfast, while Kate sat opposite him and visibly sulked. She was still smarting from the prank and the fact that no one had got the blame.

"What are we doing today?" Tony asked Ziva. She thought for a moment.

"I think it is rock climbing… kayaking… and something else." She concluded finally. "Or at least that is what I think was on the notice board."

Kate surveyed the pair. Ziva's relationship created much too much rivalry between them. Somehow she would have to make sure that Ziva would not get in the way of her plans with Tony.

Kate knew that she was prettier than Ziva. Cleverer too. Her accent was a lot more sophisticated; at least she didn't sound like an invading foreigner. At least she wasn't Jewish as well. She had to admit, Ziva was pretty, but she had nothing on her. Kate was always the prettiest, the cleverest, and the most popular. No one every questioned that.

Until now.

"Coming?" Ziva asked, pushing her plate away. It still had a slice of fried bread on it. Tony stared at it, then glanced at Ziva.

"May I?" He asked, and she laughed.

"Sure." Tony grabbed the Tony and hungrily wolfed it down.

"Are you coming then?" He asked, through a mouthful of fried bread.

"Coming." McGee and Abby chorused, standing up. Kate stood up and shoved her chair under the table. Jimmy and Michelle joined them; they had sat together away from everyone else.

Jenny was waiting for the group just outside.

"Everyone ready for rock climbing?" She asked. Everyone nodded, except Kate who was still sulking.

Jenny led the group over through some forest to a climbing wall.

"This is the easiest wall." She informed them. "We have four walls; beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert. Who has done rock climbing before?"

Ziva, Tony, Kate and McGee put their hands up.

"Ziva go against Kate, Tony against McGee. Girls, you want to go first?" Ziva nodded, grinning. This was going to be good.

"Ziva over here." Gibbs beckoned her over to attach her to the ropes. Jenny got Kate into a harness and a few minutes later they were ready. Michelle picked up two helmets and passed one to each girl.

They both stood at the bottom of the tower, Ziva on the right, Kate on the left.

The tower wasn't very high and it was almost vertical. It was leaning slightly to make it easier for beginners.

"Ready?" Jenny asked the girls. They nodded, and turned round to begin. "Set. GO!"

Ziva jumped and caught onto the hand holds about two meters off of the ground. She began to scale the climbing wall as quickly and easily as if she was walking normally.

Kate glared at her and tried to go even faster, but only succeeded in slipping and almost falling off. She hadn't even reached the half-way point, when Ziva's hand hit the top.

"Finished!" She called down. Kate groaned, and let go. Both girls abseiled back down to the ground, and Gibbs and Jenny unbuckled them.

"Well done, David." Gibbs smiled as he removed her harness. "We could do with more marines like you."

Kate sat down, and crossed her arms over her chest. She was in an even worse mood. Ziva had totally thrashed her! In front of Tony as well!

"Ready?" She looked up. Tony and McGee were about to start. "Set. GO!"

Tony lost his footing on the first foothold, so McGee got a little ahead of him, but Tony quickly gained the ground back. Tony was a bit taller than McGee also, so some that McGee found harder to reach, Tony found much easier. Eventually, Tony beat McGee by a small margin, but not enough for him to taunt McGee that easily.

"Have fun McFlab?" Tony jibed.

"Yes, did you DiNosy?" Tony glared at McGee, before abseiling back down.

Tony returned and sat next to Ziva, and McGee sat between Kate and Abby. Kate glared at Abby, her expression hostile. She stared over at Tony and Ziva, who were happily chatting away.

Jimmy and Michelle scaled the wall versus each other, but they weren't very competitive. They found it a lot more fun to take it slowly and carefully, and not bother who won. Anyhow, Michelle won.

"Abby? Who would you like to go against?" Jenny asked. Abby smiled.

"I would say Ziva… but I have no chance. So, Kate." Kate frowned. What did this mean? She stood up and let Jenny buckle her up.

"Ready?" Both girls turned to the climbing wall. "Set. GO!"

Abby imitated Ziva's leap, and pulled it off. She was already about six footholds about Kate. She pulled herself up, trying to beat Kate; using muscles she hadn't even known she had before. Abby was more slight than Kate, so found it easier to get up the wall, but Kate was much more experienced.

"Finished!" Ziva, McGee and Tony cheered. Tony wolf-whistled.

"GO ABS!" Ziva shouted, and Abby abseiled back down the wall, grinning. Her first time on a climbing wall, and she had beaten Kate! Now that was good.

Jenny clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention.

"Now that we know what level you are all at, we will take you to the next level. Tony and Ziva, you are advanced level, while the rest of you are intermediate. Luckily, the walls are right next to each other, so you won't have to wait as long either. Shall we go?" Jenny led the way along a little pathway and they arrived at two climbing walls next to each other. Gibbs carried all the climbing gear.

He handed a harness to Tony and Ziva, and one to everyone else.

"Shall we see how our two 'advanced' climbers get on?" He asked, and Abby cheered.

"Bring it on!" She shouted. Gibbs laughed.

Tony winced when Jenny checked that his harness was secure by picking him off the ground. Ziva laughed at his pained expression, and they both got into position at the bottom of the wall. The wall was at a vertical slope, going acute in some places.

"Ready? Set. GO!" Jenny started them off.

Both Tony and Ziva jumped for the hand-holds, so neither was beating each other for the first few seconds. Then, Ziva's ability started to put her ahead, and soon she had passed Tony and kept going. Tony knew that he wasn't going to win.

He reached for a handhold near Ziva's side, but instead of grabbing a handhold, he grabbed Ziva's ankle and yanked her back down. She shrieked, and she swung into him.

Their ropes twisted together.

"What was that for?" Ziva screeched, and Tony began to laugh.

Ziva tried to untwist herself, but somehow the ropes were knotted together.

"This is all your fault!" She growled. Tony face was only a few centimeters away, as their ropes had tangled and they were face to face, and chest to chest. Tony cold feel the pressure of Ziva against him.

"Gibbs!" Ziva yelled. "Help me!"

"Us!" Tony added, but they could just hear laughing from down below.

"Untangle yourselves!" Gibbs shouted up to them.

Ziva tried to unknot the rope, but she had no idea how they had got into that position.

Tony tried to stop leaning into Ziva too much. He knew that if he got to close he would just kiss her. And she would probably just kill him.

A/N: Ooh! Boy that was fun to write. Ziva and Tony stuck up a climbing wall!!!! I had that idea at 11:30pm last night… I get good ideas at nocturnal times… Don't worry, it is normal. Unlike me.

Please review and say what you think!!!
