The brightly coloured camp bus pulled up outside a forest area with a gate which matched the brightly coloured bus. Jeremy (who was driving) Pressed a button on the side of the gate and spoke into the device, "Jeremy and Casey here Aerin, We have the newest group staying in Lodge seven, can you come and take them there please."
Within in minutes they were all following a more sain looking woman dressed in a candyfloss pink camp T-shirt and dark denim ¾ length jeans. She led them through the forest path whilst humming to herself before reaching one of 10 large Wood lodges in the middle of the woodland area. "Here you are. I hope you settle in Ok. Don't forget your evening activity at seven in the beach hut," She spoke in a casual, friendly tone, "oh yes. Can Jennifer Sheppard and Leroy Gibbs please come with me for your first therapy session?"
They both groaned as they left with Aerin and Ducky led the group inside. The Living room was very cosy with log panelled walls and cream fur rugs. On one side of the room there were two wooden chairs sofas with cream cushions, a matching armchair, and a footstool. All of them were covered with native-American style wool blankets, as well as one blanket on the floor. On the mantelpiece, above the massive wood burner fireplace, was a clock and about 20 DVDs. Above that was the massive flat screen TV. In the middle of the room there was a snooker/pool table and a shuffle board table as well as the staircase upstairs. On the other side of the room was a large 8-seat oak dining table and a matching oak archway into the modern kitchen, but in the still matching brown and beige colour scheme. Upstairs were 5 bedrooms – all kitted out in similar style downstairs and with either a double or single bed, a bathroom, a small TV, a wardrobe or chest of drawers, one or two bedside table, and a desk and chair. They also had a back porch with and outdoor dining area and a hot tub which looked over the swimming lake (which could be accessed via a small path from the back porch). Tony and Ziva headed to the kitchen to set about making dinner, while the others headed of upstairs to unpack. After eventually settling on making pizza, they began cooking and a delicious smell wafted through the house. The others sat down to watch a friends marathon on the TV in the meantime.

By 5.30, a very grumpy Gibbs and hysterical Jenny had returned from their therapy session. "Oh my Jeffro! You trust me really don't you!" she said through fits of laughs, "And your face when she bought up the supposed 'romantic aspect' of our relationship!"
Gibbs looked grumpy and serious before he smiled a little, "well you didn't look too happy doing trust exercises!"
There friendly banter was interrupted by Ziva and tony bringing in 4 small pizzas (one topped with mixed vegetables, one with cheese and tomato, one with meat, and one with ham and pineapple). The team all sat around the table. Around it there were two two-seat benches (which were not huge) and four wooden chairs. Ducky, Jimmy, Jenny and Gibbs had a chair each while Tony and Ziva, and Tim and Abby had to share the benches. There was so little space that tony naturally put his arm around the back of the chair and onto Ziva's shoulder and she leant into his shoulder (which gained some knowing looks from Abby and Jenny, and an uncertain but happy look from Gibbs) as they all tucked in and ate all four pizzas.

At seven o'clock they all changed into something more comfortable and headed down to the beach hut. Ziva wore a pair of grey leggings and a khaki polo shirt with Nike trainers. She walked along with Tony, who was wearing camel shorts, a NCIS sweatshirt and trainers. Gibbs, Palmer and Tim were dressed in a similar fashion. Ducky wore a striped polo shirt, casual cargo style trousers and black shoes; Jenny wore denim skinny jeans, a light pink shirt and tennis shoes; and Abby wore black ¾ trousers, a scarlet red tank top, black wool cardigan and black skull flip flops. They reached the beach hut after chatting away about what to expect for most of the journey and walked inside to find a room filled with a massive table covered with pens, paints and craft materials as well as a box full of different t-shirts and polo shirts in different colours and sizes. Aerin stood by the wall as they all came in and took a seat. "Heya team NCIS. Welcome to Rockpath Resort and to your first task. You will have to pick a t-shirt and design it to fit your personality and it must have your name on and 'Team NCIS' on it. You will then wear it to all team activities so the other teams know who you are! So, get picking your t-shirt and start designing!"
They all rummaged through the box before picking a t-shirt and spending the next two hours designing.

Eventually (at about 8.30ish) they all finished designing their t-shirts and had to stand up and show everyone it. Gibbs went first. He had simply picked a navy blue, short sleeve t-shirt and written 'Gibbs – Team NCIS' on the front and 'Semper-fi' on the back in black marker pen. Next was ducky. He'd picked a white polo shirt and had written Ducky – Team NCIS – Autopsy' on the front pocket in red pen and had painted a blood splatter on the back. Jimmy's was a green t-shirt and it had his name, team NCIS and a drawing of himself on it. Jenny had a Purple tank top with Jenny, Team NCIS on the front in glitter and NCIS and a high heel shoe in glitter on the back. Ziva had a khaki tank top with her name and team stencilled on the front in black and a very well-drawn gun on the back. Abby had a black tank top covered in glow in the dark red and pink skulls and her name in white writing that dripped down the front. Tony had a blue t-shirt with his name and team in red writing on the back and a drawing (although not the best) of danger mouse, the team (with Kate) and himself on the front. Finally Tim had a grey polo shirt with computer code all over it and a painting of a yellow sticky note with his name and team on. Aerin congratulated them on their work and gave them the timetable for the next day:
9.30am – breakfast in cafeteria (if you wish)
10.30am – Team therapy
11.00am – Team practise for challenge
1.00pm – Lunch in cafeteria (if you wish)

They all put their t-shirts into Ducky's rucksack (as he was the only one to bring a bag) and headed back to the cabin.

By 10.30 Ducky and Jimmy had gone to bed and they others were all watching a movie. Jenny sat on the floor leaning against the armchair that Gibbs sat on. Tony and Ziva snuggled up under the blanket on one sofa while McGee and Abby had fallen asleep curled up together on the other. They watched the end of Goldfinger (Tony's choice) before Gibbs got jenny to help her get McGee and Abby up to bed. Tony went to get up before noticing Ziva sound asleep under his arm. He smiled before picking her up and quietly carrying her up the stairs. He laid her under the covers before changing into shorts and a t-shirt and getting in next to her. He wrapped his arm casually around her shoulder and just before he fell asleep he heard a faint 'thank you tony' which put a smile on his face as his eyes closed and they naturally snuggled closer together.
