Story of the Two Courageous Girls

Chapter 4

                     Later that morning, Tali and Andrea wake up early to eat early morning breakfast and get ready for Tali's birthday party. They help each other to get ready for the party with hairstyles, makeup, jewelry, and get into their gowns. Andrea was helping Tali to put her silver and amethyst on her hair after finished putting her hair into a royal hairstyle. Tali was putting on a silver and amethyst necklace around her neck when she noticed her Aba walking into her room to grab the tray off the bed. Dinozzo looked at his daughter who was wearing her aqua blue and silver gown and saw she had her mother's curious spirit.

          "Tali, you should know that you look so much like your mother in your ball gown. It's so surprising you are now 16 today. The guests will arrive before 12 o'clock for the party. I already have food and treats around the living room, dinner room, and kitchen. You and your friend will stay here until all the guests are here for the party. I want you to have a grand entrance for your birthday party to be more special for you. Now remember to have fun and enjoy your birthday with friends and family." Tony said to his daughter,
Tali got up from the chair after finishing getting ready for her birthday party and she gave her Aba huge hug for knowing he gave her a peaceful life here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania after searching for her imah. She looked at Aba while she remembers her Aba telling her about imah.

          "Thank you, Aba, for giving me this life and being a great dad to help me find who I am and telling me stories about imah. I know that she would be very proud of me for honoring her legacy and keeping her spirit alive. I still always wish that imah could be here with us every birthday since I start to remember. " Tali said to her dad,
DiNozzo grabbed the tray off the bed and walked out of his daughter's bedroom into the hallway to bring the tray back to the kitchen. Tali sat back down on the chair to let Andrea fix her makeup and jewelry after hugging her Aba. Andrea looks at Tali while she puts on her jewelry, including her necklace around her neck and tiara on her head.

          "Tali, you should know that I'm so grateful for having you as my best childhood friend. I'm here to help you during the party today while Wynonna is gone on vacation." Andrea said to her friend,
Tali and Andrea finish getting ready and waiting for the party to begin to have their grand entrance. Dinozzo walked out of the kitchen towards the front door where he was going to greet the party guests. Gibbs and his team were the first people who arrived at Dinozzo's house for Tali's birthday party. Gibbs looks at Dinozzo while he gives his gift to Ellie to put their gifts on the gift table near the stairs.

          "Dinozzo, this is truly an amazing job with decorations for the party. Do you know who did the decorating for the party? And where is the birthday girl?" Gibbs asked Dinozzo,
Dinozzo listens to Gibbs as he helped put the gifts on the gift table and he brought his friends into the living room. He walked into the kitchen and walked back into the living room with drinks for his friends. He looked at Gibbs after giving him a drink.

          "Tali and Andrea did all of the decorating for the party yesterday. Tali is upstairs with her friend. You have to wait after all the guests are here to see her. I want to thank you for keeping Tali and her friends safe from threats and dangers. You should take my thanks to Vance when you guys go back to D.C. tomorrow. Thank you for coming for my daughter's 16th birthday." Dinozzo said to Gibbs,
Gibbs listens to Dinozzo as he is chatting with his friends about the case to figure out who's this unknown group. Final guests arrive in being welcomed by Dinozzo and let them put their gifts on the gift table for giving them drinks. Andrea walked out of Tali's bedroom to look down from the opened hallway balcony to see all of the party guests had arrived and walked back to Tali's bedroom to tell her about what's going on in the living room. Andrea helps Tali fix her gown and hair before their grand entrance as they chat about how they are going to have a grand time together.
