Author notes: I have finished my exams and am officially on my summer holiday; so I think that it is time to write :D Here we go! TFA.
If anyone is interested; Pudding in England for me can mean a few things. First of all it can be savoury (as in, Yorkshire pudding) or sweet (Steamed sponge pudding) and off the top of my head I can't think of it not being solid. Pudding could also be Christmas pudding. Or pudding could even be another word for dessert! Sorry to bore you! Is anyone else hungry now?

During Tuesday Ziva had contacted Kate and told her that the party was to go ahead as planned for Wednesday at seven o'clock; Tali and Ari had agreed. All the attendees had to do was bring either some food or drink; even though the David/Haswari household had gone out and bought supplies, they thought it would be good to have some extras.
Ari was placing a pizza that had just arrived from the takeout place down the road on the table they had set up for the food in the lounge; when his two sisters came in both carrying a large plastic box filled with ice. "You should have let me help you with that" he stated dryly.
"We can manage thank you" Ziva replied "One, two, three, up" Ziva instructed her sister as they lifted the box onto the end of the table, they only just about managed it; this caused Ari to smirk slightly.
The three siblings placed all the drinks they had purchased into the cold box. Ari had purchased some alcohol for the evening as he was old enough to do so. However, there was one drawback; Tali wasn't allowed any. Ziva and Ari put their foot down and knew that their father would be angry and disappointed if they allowed their younger sister to consume a drop of alcohol. Naturally, Tali found this unfair and made a bargain with her siblings; she wouldn't touch a drop of alcohol that night if they would let her have her favourite drink of all; Caf-Pow. How could they say no?
The house was now set up for a good night; food and drink was set up and there was music playing from the sound system in the lounge.
Ziva was walking around the room waiting for the people she liked to think of as friends. Every time she walked past the bowl of cheesy puffs, she took one and placed it in her mouth. Tali was slouching on one of the sofas with her feet dangling over one of the arms. Ari was helping himself to a drink while he waited; he had someone in mind for who he wanted to see tonight.
Finally there was a knock at the door and Ziva practically ran to answer it.
"Hey Ziva. Are we early?" Jimmy questioned whilst standing at the door with his girlfriend.
"No, you're right on time. Come on in. it's nice to see you again Breena" Ziva greeted and allowed them in. Ziva then lead them into the lounge "Please help yourselves to drinks. I don't know if you remember Tali and Ari from the other night" Ziva tried to not awkwardly entertain her guests.
"Yes, of course we remember you two" Jimmy replied whilst sticking out his arm to greet Ari who was still stood near the drinks.
"Shalom again Jimmy and Brenna" Ari nodded and shock Jimmy's offered hand.
Tali waved a hello to the couple.
The slight awkwardness in the room was broken by a second knock at the door.
"That should be Kate or Abby and McGee" Ziva informed them before leaving the room to answer the door.
Once she had opened the door, the Goth and the Geek nor Kate were not standing there "Tony?"
"Hey Zee-vah! You remember Wendy right?" Tony replied either oblivious or not choosing to notice Ziva's confused tone.
"Sure" Ziva was so confused that, that was all she could say; so she just stepped aside and let them in. Well what else was she meant to do? Slam the door in their face? Yes! Possibly that is what she wished she had done, but it was too late now!
She followed them into the lounge. The look on Jimmy's face matched hers; so he didn't known why he was there either.
"Hey Tony, Wendy" Jimmy greeted, not knowing what else to say.
So many words were reeling through Ziva's head, and most were either insulting or childish.
Ziva was saved from the situation when the doorbell rang for the third and hopefully final time that eventing.
Kate had no time to greet her friend as once the door was opened she was being dragged away from her two friends and into the Kitchen of the house she just knocked at.
"Why is he here?" Ziva didn't allow Kate to speak, not even to question what was going on.
"Tim? I thought you liked Tim?" Kate was almost as confused as Ziva towards Tony's presence.
"No! Tony!" Ziva rectified.
"He's here?"
"What do you mean 'he's here?' You invited him!" Ziva exclaimed in pure frustration.
"No, Ziva, I was at the diner with you, we mutually agreed; no Tony. Yes it wasn't said, but I would never do that to you" Kate explained.
"Then who?" Ziva voiced the question both girls were wondering.
Tim and Abby had invited themselves into the house and had followed Ziva and Kate into the kitchen.
Standing in the door way Tim cleared his throat subconsciously.
All three girls turned to him; Abby had heard Ziva's and Kate's little rant.
"What?" Tim asked once her realised three sets of eyes were on him.
"You told Tony that he was invited tonight?" Kate ended the silence.
"Well…I…Um…well…he" Tim stuttered; he hated making girls angry especially his girlfriend.
"Spit it out McGee!" Oh no! Not the last name; Abby only uses that when she is really annoyed.
"I may have mentioned that there was a party going on" Tim confessed.
Ziva ran her hands over her face.
What she thought was going to be a fun filled, relaxed night; had just turned into her worst nightmare.
Author notes: Sorry it is short; I am having trouble sleeping so I started to write this update. If there is anything you want to see happen in the party just say and I will see what I can do :D TFA
