Kate had been accepted to all the universities she applied at, and the ones that Top the list was, Columbia, MIT, Princeton and one other that made her go a little insane.
Kate walks down the stairs to find her grandpa working on a project. "Hey, Short stack, want to help"He calls not turning around. She gives a little smile, before going over to the jars and bourbon. She takes her father's usual seat.
"Actual, I think i need some gibbs words of wisdom." She says while pouring some bourbon, the jar was about to touch her lips, when gibbs takes it from her hand, and places it down.
She gives a little smile. "I needed that" Gibbs, shakes his head. "I'm not died, and you're not twenty-one don't make me worry about you more than I am going to when you start college"She sighs.
"Yeah, I know" Gibbs gives a smile. "What's wrong" Kate stares at him with defeated eyes. "I don't know what to do...First time for everything I guess." Gibbs chuckles taping her leg.
"What don't you know" She hands him the letter to Cambridge. He reads it a with a pride written on his face. "Aunt abby, turn in my application, I wasn't going to send it...I don't know what to do"She says, he smiles.
"You choose, short stack, you have always known what you wanted . You need to decide, not anyone else, and whatever you choose we are behind you, and beyond proud." Kate smiles
"No matter if I am in england, and I only can see you a few times a year" He smiles " Yes, I always wanted a beautiful girl to show me around england" She smiled, hugging him.

"I'll miss you too, Short Stack." She pulls away, she had a choice to make and in this one moment she made it. She will never regret it, because in her gut it was the right choice.
Tony smiles, staring up at the stage, while Ziva's Nails dig into his thigh. "Whoa Zee, your drawing blood" Ziva face turns a little red, before removing her hand from his leg.
"Sorry, just a little..." He grabs her hand smiling. "I know, Zee" He kisses her on the cheek, she smiled leaning into him. Gibbs smiled, his eyes on his granddaughter who not just graduated from high school, but from College with a bachelor Degree in computer forensics.
She was whispering to one of friends, a huge smile on her face.
