It was Saturday, and Tali and Ziva came over to the Gibbs' house for a sleepover. Abby was helping Tali with some online shopping, and Ziva was helping Jenny and Tony prepare the food for dinner.

"Ziva, which one should I get?" Tali asked her older sister. "Abby thinks I should get this one, but I really like the other one". She showed Ziva pictures of the two tops.

"Tali! You already have a shirt that looks exactly like the blue one". Ziva pointed out.

"So?" Tali asked.

"Don't waste money on a shirt that looks similar to the one you already have. Get the purple shirt".

Tali finally agreed and bought the shirt. Ziva returned to the kitchen, and continued helping Jenny and Tony make dinner.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Abby ran to open the door. It was McGee.

"Timmy!!" She yelled, and pulled him into a back breaking hug. "Yay! You're here!" Abby took his sleeping bag and pillow from him, and dumped it into the living room.

"Dinner!" Jenny declared, and everyone rushed to the kitchen table.

.
Dinner was delicious, and was devoured in seconds. The Gibbs and David children went into the living room, and set out their sleeping bags.

"So, Ziva". Tony said, turning to face her. "Are you doing any after school activities?"

"Other than running, and Krav Maga practice, yes". Ziva replied. "Tali and I are actually taking ballet classes at Ms. Fontaine's School of Dance".

"Ballet, huh?" He asked.

"Yes. Ballet. I started when I was five years old. I love it". She replied. "My father however, does not agree with the fact that I dance ballet. He wants me to focus all my time on Mossad Training, but I convinced him to let me take ballet in America".

"Do you want to be Professional one day?" Tony asked her.

Ziva sighed. "I do. I want to become a ballerina, but I'm afraid my father will take that away from me". She said quietly.

"Why would he take ballet away from you?" Tony asked.

"Because it is something that I enjoy". She replied sadly.

Tony didn't know what to say. After a while of awkward silence, he opened his mouth. "I should watch you dance sometime. I bet you are a beautiful dancer". He said

Ziva's eyes lit up. Tony put one arm around Ziva's shoulders and pressed her gently to his side. Ziva snuggled close to him.
