Ziva went through all the songs. She finally found the right song.
She picked We belong together by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta.
Tony was engulfed in singing, he'd never sung it before.
He'd seen the movie Grease once before but he'd fallen asleep half way through it.
Ziva on the other hand was dancing around and doing all the dance moves. It was like that she was right out of the movie.
As the song went on Tony picked up some of the dance moves and did them with her.
Tony was just starting to enjoy himself when the song ended.
The room erupted in applause.
Tony got off the stage and helped Ziva off too.
Jenny had Gibbs at hand. She dragged him onto the stage.
"Jenny, I don't sing." He complained as Jenny handed him a mic.
"Just watch the screen and sing the words that turn blue." She explained as she picked the song.
It was moments later when Summer Lovin' started to play.
Jenny got into it straight away, but it took Gibbs half the song to relax and enjoy himself.
The whole room joined in with the bopbopbopbop's.
The song ended, the biggest smile was pasted on Gibbs' face.
He got off the stage, turned around and helped Jenny off too.
Abby had Palmer in tow and ready to have a turn.
Palmer picked the song Abby didn't mind. He went through the list and saw the only one he knew well.
He picked Don't go breaking my heart by Kikki Dee and Elton John.
Palmer got right into it. It took Abby a minute to feel the song.
Palmer was going well until he had to sneeze.
The song ended.
"I want a rematch!" he demanded as he helped Abby off the stage.
"Maybe later sweetie" she said in a kind, soft voice.

Kate was sitting at a table when someone came up behind her.
"Kate would you like to have a go up there?" he asked.
Kate turned around.
"Hey Ducky, I would love to have a go" she said. Ducky smiled and bent his arm so she could take his elbow. They walked up onto the stage.
Kate took a mic and handed it to Ducky.
"You can pick the song mademoiselle" he offered.
Kate took her time finding a song that she knew. She found one and picked it.
Build my up buttercup started to play and Kate could feel her feet starting to dance. She refused to let them.
"DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE" the crowd egged.
Kate thought about it. She let her feet go and stopped being a control freak for once.
Ducky joined in with her dancing. Then the song ended.
Kate was actually for once having fun, a good time and she had a smile on her face.
Ducky got off the stage and lent a hand to Kate and helped her off too.
"Thank-you for that Ducky" she said "That was so much fun!"

"You looked like you needed a distraction" he replied as they headed for the bar.

This went on all through the night. Different people made different combos.
Tess had a go with Ziva, Abby, Gibbs, Palmer, Jenny, Kate and Ducky (not to mention the few other times with Tim). Abby had a go with everyone.
Ziva had a go with everyone.
Gibbs had no say in the matter, he was just dragged up there time and time again.
Jenny was having so much fun with Gibbs' team that she totally forgot that she was their director.
Ducky got tired but still had a go with everyone anyway.
Tony was being his usual stubborn self. He did want to have a go with Tess in case Ziva got the wrong idea.
"Come on Tony, have a go with me" Tess said with great excitement.
"No!" Tony said quite aggressively.
"Why not?" Tess asked.
"Cause I said NO!" Tony said in a very harsh tone.
Tess looked very scared and surprised at the same time. She went off to find Ziva.
"Can I talk to you for a min Z?" Tess asked nervously.
"Sure." Ziva replied.
"Does Tony hate me? Have I done something wrong? Have I been offensive to him? Have I been rude to him?" Tess fired off randomly.
"Nope, I don't think that you've anything wrong and he doesn't hate you" Ziva said trying to calm Tess down. "Why do you think this?" Ziva looked worried.
"Well . . . I asked him if he wanted to have a go on the karaoke with me but he looked really angry and said no really, really quickly." Tess rambled.
"I'll go have a chat with him" Ziva promised.

"Hey handsome" Ziva said as she sat down next to Tony. Tony didn't reply.
"What's wrong baby?" she asked as she kissed his cheek.
"I'm just hoping that this night will soon be over" Tony said as he turned to face her.
"Do you hate Tess?" Ziva asked
"No, I just don't want you to the wrong idea if I have a go on the karaoke with her" he said being honest, before he could stop himself.
Ziva was truly stunned.
"Baby, I'd never think that" she said finally. "Tess thinks she has done something wrong that has upset you"
"So I can sing with her?" Tony asked
"Yes!" Ziva replied "I think you should go apologise and go have a turn."
Tony stoop up, the grim look on his face had now been replaced with a huge smile. He went to find Tess.

Tony found Tess talking to Tim. She seemed totally unfazed and rather happy. She was looking at Tim kinda how Ziva looked at himself.
Tony walked over to the pair.
"Excuse, Tess I would like to talk to you alone" he said looking at Tim.
Tim got the message and leaned in to Tess's ear
"If you need me just call." He whispered and then he walked away.
"I would like to apologise for my bad behaviour earlier and to make it up to you." Tony said carefully.
"It's ok Tony, I can see where you are coming from." Tess said calmly.
"I was wondering if you still wanted to sing with me . . . but I can understand if you don't want to." Tony muttered very quickly.
"Only if you feel comfortable with losing to a girl?" Tess challenged as she stood up.
"You're on!" he said as they walked toward the stage.

Tim didn't like what he was seeing even though he couldn't hear what they were saying he knew Tony.
Tess walked over, gave Tim a peek on the cheek, patted his shoulder and walked to the stage.
He felt instantly cheerful.
She ran up to the stage and took a mic from Tony.
"You can pick the song as a punishment to me for my terrible behaviour" Tony offered.
"Fine" Tess accepted.
The song was picked and started to play.
Sexy Back was blasting through the speakers, Tess and Tony were singing at the top of their lungs, everybody was dancing and the beat was pulsing through the whole room.
The song ended. The room erupted with the loudest applause all night.
The whole room was shaking.
Tess looked around for her favourite person of the moment. When she spotted him she waved.
He didn't wave back.
He didn't look happy.
Tony helped Tess of the stage. Once Tess was on the ground Tony ran over to Ziva.
"I sung with Tess, do you hate me?" he said
"No, I could never hate you, I love you" she replied.

Tess bounded over to Tim.
"Did ya see me Timmy? Did ya see me?" she said anxiously
"Yes I saw you, now if you'll excuse me I need a refill." Tim said sourly. He walked off through the crowd.
Tess went and sat down at a spare table, she waited for Tim to come over but he didn't.

Tim saw Tess sitting at the table all alone, waiting for him.
He knew she was waiting for him.
He looked at the tray of vodka shots sitting in front of him.
He downed one.
Then another.
And another.
He picked up the tray with the rest of the shots over to a corner, sat down and started drinking.
He had two left when Abby came over and sat down beside him.
"You're not usually a heavy drinker, this must be big" she commented "What's wrong?"
"You really want to know?" He asked hoping she didn't want to know.
"Yep, now spill!" Abby said to his dismay.
"Well, once again, Tony has wowed the girl that I want and like." He said glumly.
Abby was speech-less.
"Do you really think that McGee?" she finally asked.
Tim nodded.
"You know nothing McGee!"
He looked at her, confused.
"She hasn't been able to take her eyes off you since she met you." Abby explained
Tim didn't believe her.
"If you don't believe me just look at her" Abby said as she pointed to Tess.
"She looks perfectly happy over there with Ziva, Tony and Gibbs." He said not looking up at the table.
He spat the word Tony.
"No, she's not McGee!" Abby said.
Tim paused for just a moment and looked up at Tess. She had one of those fake smiles plastered on her flawless face.
He looked at her eyes. She looked like she was holding back tears. About to cry!
Tim felt terrible.
"She wants you sitting in that chair, she wouldn't even let Ziva sit on that chair." Abby pleaded.
"You have two choices here McGee, you can sit here and wallow in your own self pity or you can go rescue her from the evil Anthony DiNozzo!" Abby declared.
She hugged him, stood up and walked off.
Tim sat there, thinking.

Tess was so excited when Tim finally sat down next to her.
"Can I sit here?" he asked his voice low and sorrowful.
"Absolutely" Tess replied almost instantly.
Ziva nodded, Tess nodded, Ziva nodded again.
"We'll go and talk to Ducky and the others." Ziva said as she stood up "Come on boys."
Tony groaned, stood up and walked off. Gibbs stood up, winked at Tess and walked off.
Tess, I would like to apologise for my terrible behaviour." Tim said as soon as everyone had left.
