A/N: Sorry for no updates.
My friend's grandma died on Thursday, we found out our textiles teacher is being 'retired' by the trustees of our school on Friday and on Friday I also found out that they put my top four options for GCSE in the same block. Two of my cousin's friends died while serving in the army in Northern Ireland. I am not happy.
So here is the next chapter.
Well done to gilmoregirls3916 for winning the competition.
One month later…
Ziva stretched and set off for her run through the woods. It was 0500 and no one else was up. She started off at a steady jog but begin to get fast until she was simply sprinting.
She checked her watch. It was only 0530. She had at least two hours until anyone else was awake.
"Ziva!" She stopped and turned at the voice.
"Tony?!" She asked, surprised. The bleary eyed guy ran up to her.
"Jeez, you run fast!" Tony panted, skidding to a half beside her.
"You just run slowly." Ziva replied. Tony glared at her and she laughed. "Walk back to the cabin with me."
"Walk. I prefer that idea." Tony grinned, and Ziva turned to walk back with him.
"Why are you here, Tony?" Ziva asked.
"I wanted to see what a morning run was like, seeing as you enjoy them so much." Tony explained. Ziva raised her eyebrows.
"You know I run?" She asked, surprised.
"Every morning from five until six." Tony replied.
"How do you know that?" She asked.
"I notice things occasionally." Tony replied mysteriously.
"I am surprised you can even keep your eyes open." Ziva said. Tony yawned.
"That's not very nice." He answered and Ziva laughed.
By 0545 they were back at camp. They entered their cabin deep in conversation, but Ziva made hand gestures for them to quiet down so they didn't wake McGee or Abby.
"I will have a shower now." Ziva said and promptly grabbed some clothes and disappeared into the bathroom. Tony stared after her. Why had he gone after her? How had he even managed to catch up with her? He sat down on his bed, thinking.
Ziva exited the bathroom and looked around. She smiled. Tony had fallen asleep and was half sitting half lying on his bed. She dumped her sweaty clothes into her laundry bag and sat down on Tony's bed, next to his head.
She began to stroke his hair, but nothing happened. She traced her finger down the back of his neck.
Tony sat up like a shot.
"What the hell?" He complained, seeing Ziva laughing.
"You fell asleep." She offered a simple explanation. Tony glared at her.
"I'm going to have a shower." He informed her, and picked up some clothes from the pile by his bed. Ziva sighed. When would he ever learn to fold things, or even tidy them away?
Four hours later, everyone was relaxing on the veranda outside the recreational room. The sun was shining down and they were all dressed in very summery clothes. Abby was even wearing white as it was so hot.
"What would you like to do today?" Gibbs asked.
"Sleep." Tony replied and Ziva laughed.
"Up early, Tony?" She asked, looking at him innocently.
"Not at all Zee-Vah." He replied sarcastically.
"What happened this morning?" Abby asked excitedly.
"I went out for my morning run and Tony decided to follow me." Ziva explained. Abby looked confused.
"So…?" She prompted.
"I go running at 0500 until 0600." Ziva replied, and Abby's jaw dropped.
"Tony can actually get up that early?" She asked, surprised. Ziva burst out laughing. Gibbs and Jenny smiled at each other.
"Surprisingly, yes." Ziva answered, grinning.
"I had an idea…" Gibbs began and everyone turned to him.
"Yes?" Abby looked at Gibbs expectantly.
"As Ziva and Jenny know, I was building a boat. I finished it last week, took it out for a test run and luckily it floats." Everyone laughed. "I was wondering if you wanted to try it out? It takes six people."
"Ooh! I want to come!" Abby exclaimed.
"Sounds great!" Ziva grinned.
"Nice plan." Tony complimented.
"Awesome." McGee smiled.
"Sounds like the plan for today, then." Jenny said. Gibbs stood up, and so did everyone else.
Tony stretched and yawned.
"Tired, Tony?" Ziva asked. Abby, McGee, Jenny and Gibbs laughed, while Tony glared at her.
"No kidding." He answered, as they walked off to the lake.
When they arrived, Gibbs handed them each a buoyancy aid. McGee, Tony and Ziva helped Gibbs get the boat down to the water's edge.
"How did you manage this on your own?" Tony panted. Ziva laughed.
"Not very well." Gibbs replied, grinning.
Finally the boat was ready and Gibbs kicked off his shoes and so did Ziva. Together they pushed the boat out a bit further, and then waited for everyone else to climb in.
McGee and Abby sat on one bench, and left a space for Gibbs. Tony and Jenny sat next to each other with a space for Ziva next to Tony.
Ziva and Gibbs pushed the boat out into deeper water and then jumped in themselves. Gibbs pulled the oars out from underneath one of the benches. Abby and McGee switched places with Tony and Ziva so they would have two people who could actually row the boat.
Ziva laughed as she took the other oar from Gibbs, and pushed the boat with strong strokes that were synchronized with Gibbs'.
They had soon reached the center of the large lake.
"How deep is it here?" Tony asked. Jenny thought for a moment before replying.
"Deep." Ziva laughed.
"No really." Tony said, and Jenny looked serious.
"Four, five meters?" She said, glancing at Gibbs.
"About that." He concluded. Tony nodded.
"Can we swim here?" He asked. When they had been swimming in the lake before, they had kept to the edges.
"Do you have swim shorts on?" Gibbs asked. Tony frowned.
"No." He sighed.
"Skinny dipping." Abby laughed.
"We can go swimming in our clothes and then put dry clothes on when we are back at camp." Ziva had an idea, and everyone nodded.
"Sounds like a sensible plan." Gibbs said. "Jen and I can row, you guys can swim."
Tony and Ziva stood up. Ziva was wearing a halter-neck bikini top and a pair of white shorts.
Ziva jumped lightly out of the boat and dived into the cool water. Tony walked to the side, and jumped smoothly into the water. Abby and McGee counter balanced each other by jumped out of opposite sides of the boat.
Ziva and Tony swam a little way away from the boat. Abby and McGee followed them.
"This is fun." Abby grinned. Then her smile disappeared. "Oh crap!"
"What?" McGee asked.
"I'm wearing a white top!" Abby exclaimed. Ziva looked shocked too.
"I'm wearing white shorts!"
"See-through!" Tony laughed, and then they all burst out laughing.
They began to talk and swim around and soon they began to feel hungry.
"Food!" Tony announced, swimming back to the boat. Jenny and Gibbs pulled each sodden teenager back into the boat and began to row back to shore. Everyone could see Abby's black bra and Ziva's blue underwear through their white clothing. Tony tried not to stare too much as the fabric clung tightly to Ziva's body.
A/N: I hope this chapter was okay… I'm not in a writing mood… So it isn't good at all… I'm sorry.
There is also no contest today. Sorry.
I really need some ideas so please send me them, I'm running out.
