The Chipmunk Tour Saga Closing Ceremony Special
Chapter 7:
"Tony's Memory"
Featuring a deleted scene from Book VIII: "Kingdom Hearts, Part III: 'Endgame'"
Back in Kitchen Stadium, William sat down in his chair as the "Iron Road" curtains parted, revealing Tony DiNozzo. As he walked on the "Iron Road," William noticed that Tony was fiddling with something in his pocket.
William smiled at Tony as he sat down in the chair opposite William's own.
William: Tony, welcome. I'm pleased to meet you.
Tony: Thanks, William. I'm anxious to get this interview underway, but I cannot yet.
W: Why?
T: I need Ziva down here.
W: Well then, allow me. Max, ask Ziva David to come down here please.
Max. Compliance. Ziva David, report to Holosuite 1. Agent Ziva David, report to
Holosuite 1, please.
A few minutes later, the doors to the Holosuite replaced the "Iron Road" curtains and opened to reveal Ziva David. As she walked into Kitchen Stadium, another chair rose into the Stadium right next to the one Tony sat in.
As Ziva sat down, William kissed Ziva on the hand.
W: Shalom, Ziva. It is a pleasure to meet you at last.
Ziva: Shalom to you too, William. However, there is one thing I found wrong with how I was depicted
in your stories.
W: Oh? How so?
Z: In the segments in Book VIII, you neglected to mention that my father (Eli David, head of Mossad-
W.R.)and I parted ways after I found out how he set up my capture in Africa following the Michael
Rivkin affair and that that was what led to my petition to become a full NCIS agent and an American
citizen.
T: Uh, Ziva, maybe it is because William did not know that was going to happen before he started
writing KH3-Endgame.
W: Exactly, Tony. Maybe all of those head-slaps from Director Gibbs did you some good, after all.
(audience laughter) Anyway, now that Ziva is here, maybe you can begin your story, Tony.
T: Exactly, William. This memory of mine takes place while Jason and Melinda Crosby were on their
honeymoon. I needed some advice from Alvin about something I could not risk Gibbs, Probie (Tim
McGee/Thom E. Gemcity-W.R.), Abby or then-Director Vance finding out about.
Tony got out of his chair and stood in front of Ziva. Then, a loud gasp erupted from the audience as Tony fell to one knee. As he did so, Tony withdrew a blue and white case from his pocket. He then opened the case, revealing a gold and diamond ring.
T: Ziva David, when we first met after Caitlin Todd was killed, I was saddened that I did not get to say
the things I wanted to say to her. But, in the five years since that dark day, I began to see that you
were the one. Even during my time undercover with Jeanne Benoit, I harbored true feelings for only
one person. And after the Rivkin incident, I felt that the time was right.
Z: (voice breaking)Tony...
T: Shhh. Let me finish. Since then, I have been working up the courage to say this to you. Ziva David,
(in Hebrew)will you marry me?
Cheering erupted from the audience pit. William stood up and held out his hands.
W: Everyone, please be quiet. Let Tony and Ziva have their moment. Max, spotlight on Tony and Ziva,
if you would.
Max: Compliance.
The stadium lights dimmed, save for a spotlight aimed where Tony was kneeling in front of Ziva.
T: (repeats asking "Will you marry me?" in Hebrew)
Z: (in Hebrew with voice breaking) Yes. Yes, I will.
Tony put the ring on Ziva's finger. They kissed to seal the engagement. As the Stadium lights came back up, William gestured his permission for the characters to applaud Tony and Ziva's engagement, which they did.
W: Now, Tony, I believe you have a story to tell.
T: Of course. I went to visit Alvin in Los Angeles to ask him for some advice.
Alvin heard a knocking on his door. "Max, who is it?" Alvin asked. "My sensors identify your visitor as Anthony DiNozzo, Special Agent, Naval Criminal Investigative Service," Max said. "Let him in," Alvin said.
The door opened, revealing Tony. "Agent DiNozzo, is there a problem? Does Special Agent Gibbs need our testimony regarding Petty Officer Richards' murder?" Alvin asked.
"Uh, no," Tony said. "Now that the perpetrator is dead, Director Vance closed the investigation. No, I'm here on personal business."
"Well, come on in and sit down," Alvin said. "Want something to drink?" "Some beer if you have it," Tony said as Alvin brought Tony into the living room.
A robot rolled into the living room. "Uh, get me two cold Budweisers, Jazz," Alvin said "Will do, Alvin," the robot Alvin called "Jazz" said. As Jazz rolled into the kitchen, Alvin gestured for Tony to sit down.
"Max, put on a movie for me," Alvin said. "Anything in particular?" Max asked. "Son of Godzilla, Japanese version with English subtitles," Alvin said. "Compliance," Max said.
Jazz brought two cans of beer into the living room as the curtains closed, cutting off the sunlight. Jazz handed one can to Alvin and one can to Tony. As the movie began, Alvin turned to Tony.
"Tony, what did you want to ask me?" Alvin asked. "You remember Ziva, right?" Tony asked as he opened his can of beer.
"Yeah," Alvin said. "Well, then you would know that Ziva and I have been dating now for about six months-ever since we rescued her from a terrorist cell in North Africa," Tony said. "I want to ask Ziva to marry me, so I need some advice on how to do it."
"Well, I'm not sure if I'm the right person to ask this," Alvin said as he took a sip from his can of beer. "That may be true," Tony said. "But, Jason and Melinda Crosby are on their honeymoon, Gordo and Lizzie are in Rome visiting Paolo and Isabella..."
"Oh, all right, Tony," Alvin said. "Well, it helps to have your proposal in a public place, so witnesses can see how much you truly love the girl you're asking. After all, I proposed to Brittany at the Donner Cut screening and Jason proposed to Melinda on The Price is Right, in front of millions of people."
Tony jotted down Alvin's advice on the PDA he withdrew from his pocket. "Anything else?" Tony said. "Just one more bit of advice," Alvin said.
"And what is it?" Tony asked. "Have a Plan B, just in case Ziva says no," Alvin said. "After all, Ziva might misconstrue your proposal as something more sinister."
"I'm sure Ziva won't say no," Tony said. "But, I'll work on a Plan B, just in case. Now, why'd you choose Son of Godzilla?"
T: I didn't need to use the Plan B Alvin suggested, anyway. After all, this was my Plan A.
"William, this is Max," Max said. "We have landed on Alvin's Earth. Mr. and Mrs. McGuire and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon are requesting boarding clearance to meet with the man who will oversee the wedding ceremony."
"Permission granted," William said. "I'll meet them on Holosuite 2. Prepare Seville Prototype FC-Alpha, Enterprise-E Captain's Ready Room." "Compliance," Max said.
As William stood to leave, he turned to Tony and Ziva. "Many happy years, you two," William said. "Max, exit."
The "Iron Road" curtains disappeared, replaced by Max's regular exit doors. William walked off the holosuite.
Next time, the C.C.S. comes to an end with the wedding of Lizzie and Gordo...but not before one final interview.
