A/N: I was going to have this up this past weekend, but my mom took my computer. =( I promise I'll update sooner next time! Don't forget to review!
Disclaimer: Do I even have to say it anymore?
Jenny shifted uncomfortably in her chair. She looked across one seat, where Leroy Jethro Gibbs sat. She stole glances throughout the flight at her old partner. It was probably the only time her looks would go unnoticed; the team hadn't sat all together, and evidently Gibbs was sleeping.
"See something interesting?"
Jen was drawn out of her thoughts at the sound of his voice. It figured that he wouldn't actually be asleep.
"I wouldn't call it interesting," she retorted with a small smile.
He sat up in his chair and opened his eyes. Still, he didn't look at the woman sitting next to him.
"You seemed to be pretty interested last time we went sight seeing," he stated smugly.
Jenny wasn't fazed. "I was young. You were young..er. It was awhile ago. We weren't thinking."
Gibbs looked away from the plane window and turned his icy gaze on her. She met his stare with equal confidence. He scoffed and looked away.
"Yeah, I guess that was all a mistake, wasn't it?"
Jenny looked down at her hands before replying. "I didn't say--"
"We both know it though don't we?" Gibbs said, cutting her off. He stared blankly out the window.
They both fell silent, wanting nothing more than for this flight, and whole trip to be over. Going through an undercover Paris op was bad enough once.

"Abby, I'm sure your equipment is just fine! Calm down," McGee told the nervous scientist.
He really needed her to calm down, as he was all too aware of the stares coming from other passengers. Abby turned to him with narrowed eyes, her lips pursed.
"What did you call them?" she demanded.
Tim rolled his eyes, "I meant I'm sure your 'babies' are doing all right."
Abby immediately lightened up, but started going off about everything that could be going wrong. McGee turned to the crowd of passengers staring at the two NCIS agents, and gave a sheepish smile.
"...And Major Mass Spec could--" Abby was running out of breath and inhaled. McGee seized the moment and put a hand over her mouth.
In a softer voice, he said, "Abby, I'm sure your lab is just the way you left it. That includes all of your 'children' staying there."
Abby visibly relaxed. McGee yanked his hand away when he felt her tongue swipe across his palm.
He wiped his hand on the arm rest, much to Abby's amusement.
She giggled. "Yeah, you're right. Besides, if anyone dares to mess up the Labby, I can kill them and leave--"
"No forensic evidence," McGee finished with a grin. "I know, because you're the best."
Abby leaned over and wrapped her arms around him, pinning his arms to his sides.
"Oh McGee I love you in that non-romantic, best friends way...you're so adorable. Like puppies!"
Tim frowned, but decided to let that one slide as Abby hugged him tighter.

"Yeah I'll just have a Coke, thanks." Tony paid the flight attendant for his drink and sipped it silently, staring ahead.
Ziva was surprised. "Tony!" she gasped.
He looked at her, eyebrows raised.
"You did not flirt with that waitress once!"
Tony rolled his eyes, but she could she the smile playing on his lips.
"Yeah you know, sometimes you don't give me enough credit David. I can be deep! And technically, that was a stewardess." he told her.
Ziva laughed. "Watching meaningful films does not make you deep, Tony."
He made a face at her in return.
Ziva began listening to her iPod again as Tony finished his Coke. With nothing more to do, Tony noticed his partner listening to music. Her foot tapped lightly in beat with the song. DiNozzo reached over and pulled one earbud out, putting it in his ear.
She gaped at him. "I was listening to that!"
"You still are! Now I am too. Hm, Mas by Kinky. Not bad. You know this is on a snowboarding game?"
Ziva shook her head and let it go. A few moments later, she felt several pairs of eyes watching her and Tony. She turned her gaze away from the window to find Tony dancing in his seat.
She couldn't stifle a giggle. "You are ridiculous, Tony."
"But that's why you love me, Zee-Vah, " he said, giving her that mega-watt grin.
If only you knew.
