As she got out of her car, Kate heard the car behind her pull up too. However, when she looked at the plate and the driver, she smiled and thought well here's a first.

She stood at the entrance to the NCIS HQ building, arms crossed as she watched the driver get out of his car, pulling his shades out of his pocket and placing them on as he flashed the smile. She couldn't help but smile back.

'How long have you been following me, DiNozzo?' she asked, arms still crossed, trying to look serious but she still had a slight twitch be her mouth.

'Not long,' Tony replied, not bothering to pretend that he wasn't. 'Just since the second crossings.' He told her as they entered the place.

'Not long? That's almost from my home!' she argued as their things were checked by security.

'So? It's close to my place too. It was just a coincidence that we were at the same crossing at the same time, Katie.' He shrugged.

'I highly doubt it, Anthony.' She countered. 'You're never this early.' She paused as they made their way to the elevators. 'Unless, of course, you never actually went home that is.' She commented coolly.

'Yup! That must be it! Mind you, I could say the same about you.' Tony replied as they still waited for and elevator.

'How could you say the same about me?' Kate challenged him. Tony shrugged.

'Who knows what you get up to when you don't have me by your side?' he sighed, winking at her and they entered the elevator.

'Me? I think that would be you, DiNozzo.' She scoffed, tuning to face him.

'Nah. I think it's you. People think too less of me. I like to prove them wrong.' He nodded, turning to face her too.

'Aw. That's sweet. Did you just think that up right now?' she asked, cocking her head on the side. Tony narrowed his eyes at her before hitting the emergency stop button to stop the metal box.

'You think you're so cute when you do that head tilt thing, don't you?' he asked her, getting close to her. Kate smiled and nodded a yes. 'Good. Cos so do I.' with that, he leaned in to kiss her. Kate smiled before lacing her arms around his neck.

When they broke apart, which was only because of the need of oxygen, they laid their foreheads against each others.

'You're the only one for me.' He told her.

'I better be.' She started to back away, but Tony held her close. 'We havta go, Tony. Works starts at 9.' She informed him. Tony looked at his watch, showing it to her as well. His other arm was around her shoulders.

'See? We've still got 2 minutes and 37 seconds. 36. 35. 34. 33. 32.' Tony kept on correcting himself.

'Alright! I get the message.' Kate laughed as she hit the button again to cause it to start moving.

'Aw! Katie! Now we have to go to work!' He pouted and slumped against the back of the elevator.

'That is the whole point of coming here, you know, DiNozzo.' She stated.

'Not for me it isn't.' he said suggestively. They both laughed as the door opened, only to reveal Gibbs standing there, coffee in hand, and not their bullpen.

'Hey Boss.' Tony greeted him, not bothering to stand up straight, or to move his arm from Kate's shoulders as he entered the elevator too. They continued their ride up.

'Kate.' Gibbs greeted back. Kate smiled at him.

'Hey, Gibbs.' She replied. They stood in silence for a minute, Kate trying to stifle her laugh into Tony's arm, while Tony trying to figure out why Gibbs had just ignored him.

'I thought I told you to keep it out of the office DiNozzo.' Gibbs said, not turning to face him. Kate had to try even harder to not laugh.

'Why do I always get the blame?' he asked him.

'Because you, DiNozzo, are the one who always starts it.' Gibbs replied gently, finally turning to face them.

'That's not true!' he defended himself as they stepped out of the elevator, and Kate out of his embrace.

'You've gotta admit, Tony, it is kinda.' She told him.

'What? How can you say that?' he asked as he threw himself into his chair.

'Cos it's true.' Gibbs interfered once again. 'I need this done.' He told Tony as he chucked a file onto Tony's desk.

'But Boss! Isn't there anything else… never mind.' He changed his line as Gibbs threw him a dirty look. And he didn't feel like getting whacked in the head right then.

Half an hour later, after 15 minutes of arguing, which had stopped when Gibbs had returned, Kate and Tony were getting on with their work. Well, at least one of them was.

Now that Gibbs had left again, Kate snapped her head up at Tony once again. She had had enough.

'Would you stop it?' she hissed at him. Tony looked away from his computer screen to his girlfriend and partner.

'Stop what?' he asked confused.

'You know what!' Tony raised an eyebrow.

'You know, normally I'd say something annoying now, but seriously, what are you talking about, Kate?' as he said this sentence, he continued to unconsciously scratch his arm. This, as it was covered by a shirt, made a scratchy sound.

'That! You've been doing it since we got here!' Kate exclaimed, pointing to his arm. 'If it wasn't your arm, it was back or your neck!'

'I didn't even notice.' He murmured in slight fascination. Kate rolled her eyes.

'Yeah, well stop it! I can't stand that sound.' She shivered.

'Well, it's itchy! What do you suggest I do?' Tony whined.

'Rub it; leave it alone; I don't care! Just don't scratch it!' she shivered again at the thought of it.

'But that don't feel as good as scratching it. Unless you do it…' he smirked before gasping as Gibbs smacked him upside the head.

'How many times do I have to tell you DiNozzo? This is why I blame you.' Tony rubbed his head now.

'Where did you come from?' he asked him. Gibbs ignored him again. McGee had turned up behind Gibbs.

'Abby said she had something for the… Clarence case.' He informed the boss. Gibbs nodded and pointed to Tony, who wasn't paying attention. 'Tony, Abby wants to see you.' Tony still didn't hear McGee's words. He was trying to roll his sleeve up enough to see what was bothering him.

'Tony!' Kate snapped, knowing tat only she could get his attention right then.

'Yes, honey?' Tony replied sweetly, looking up to her before looking at his arm again.

'Abby. Lab. Now.' She replied in her tone. He nodded and went, but then turned around to face them.

'Uh… why?' he asked.

'Clarence case. She has something for you.' When his face was blank, Gibbs carried on. 'The case you're working on, DiNozzo!'

'I knew that.' He replied sheepishly, and with that he headed down to see the resident Goth.

With the normal music blasting and the Caf-Pow in hand, Tony wandered, once again, how none of the glass instruments in the lab hadn't smashed already.

'Abby. Abs! Abby!' he yelled. He still got no reaction, so he went and switched the music off. This immediately got Abby's attention.

'Oh! Hey Tony. Didn't see ya there. You working on the Clarence case?' before he could answer back, Abby carried on talking, walking around her lab. 'Good, cos I think I might have cracked it. Well, not literally. Bu it's a good piece of evidence and…'

'Abby! How much caffeine have you had today?' Tony interrupted her rambling, grabbing her by the shoulders to stop her from making him dizzy.

'I dunno. I've had one before this. And then I had some Red Bull this morning. I think I might've had some coffee. I don't know. What time is it? Cos I don't remember if it was last night or this morning that I had the other Caf-Pow…'

'ABBY!' Tony yelled again. She stopped and smiled sheepishly.

'I was doing it again, huh?'

'Yes. Now the evidence.' He prompted. She nodded and headed towards the computer. Tony came up and leaned against the table next to her.

'Ok, so I compared the video from the camera to the one from the CCTV, and I think that McGee was right.' Tony gave her a look. 'It happens, you know. Anyways, you see the car, look at its plates. They're different in the front and back. Now look at this one,' she showed him the CCTV one. 'The plate on the back is a different to the one on the front.'

'That's great, Abs, but how does that help me?' Tony asked.

'Check this out.´ Abby brought on a screen split in two. 'The back plate of the camera one and the front of the CCTV one are a match! Same with vice versa.' She showed him, before taking a long sip of her drink.

'That really is great! Have you found the owners?' Abby shook her head.

'Doing it.' She said in between sips. Tony laughed at her childish behaviour.

'Sometimes, I could just kiss you. But that would just be a bit…' he pulled a face.

'Yeah. And Kate would kill you.' She reasoned as her finger went crazy on the keyboard.

'Probably. You find something?' he asked her as her hands moved.

'Nope.' She giggled as Tony sighed. She turned to face him. 'What's up with your arm?'

'Huh?' he asked her.

'Your arm. You've been scratching it. And you neck.' Abby stated. Tony looked at her funnily. When he thought about, he realised he had been.

'I dunno. It's just so Goddamn itchy!' he complained.

'What is it?' Abby asked her concern for him shadowed by her hyper stage.

'I…don't…know.' He repeated slowly. Abby nodded her head.

'Oh? Have you looked at your arm? Maybe you've got an allergic reaction? Or maybe you're ill. Or maybe…' Abby kept suggesting.

'Abby! Don't do that!' he snapped.

'Do what?' she asked innocently.

'Say things like that. It might actually happen.'

'Aw. Is Tony superstitious?' Abby cooed.

'Yes I am. And I'm not ashamed of it.' He said proudly.

'Good for you.' She turned back to the computer. 5 minutes later, she got irritated with Tony too.

'That is it!' she turned to face him. Tony hardly ever saw Abby angry, at least not with him.

'What?'

'Take of your shirt!' she told him. Tony gave her a weird look.

'Uh… what?' he asked to make sure he had heard right.

'Take you shirt off now!' she repeated. 'I can't take that scratching anymore. Let's see what's wrong with you.' She informed him.

'You know, Abby. If you wanted to see me naked, all you had to do is ask.' He said in his typical tone.

'What do you think I'm doing right now?' she raised her eyebrows. 'Just take your shirt off so we can get this over with.'

'Excuse me?' a voice from behind came. The two of them spun to see Kate standing there, an amused look on her face.

'Uh… how much of that conversation did you hear?' Abby asked her best mate.

'Not enough obviously. Abby, you wanna explain?' Kate asked again.

'Yes! Cos I can explain!' she took another sip of her Caf-Pow as Kate looked at Tony with an intriguing smile. Tony looked confused. 'Well, you see, I needed Tony to come down here to tell him the evidence, which was cool, cos I solved the case, kind off. Well not totally cos- 'Abby broke off at Kate's stare. But that's not important. The important bit is that Tony was annoying me with his scratching and I wanna know what's wrong with him. After I freaked him out that was.' She nodded animatedly, before taking another sip of her drink.

'Ok.' Kate simply replied. 'What ya waiting for, DiNozzo? Do as she says.'

'You want me to take my shirt off?' Tony asked her unbelievingly. This is freaky he thought.

'If it'll stop you from scratching and pissing me off, then, uh, yeah.' She replied sweetly, as Abby jumped onto the table.

'It's annoying, ain't it?' Kate nodded to Abby's saying. Tony rolled his eyes and took off his shirt.

'Wow! No wonder you got all those girls, Tony! You're-' Abby started to say but shut up when she realised that it wasn't appropriate. 'So let's see.'

'Oh my god. Uh, Tony.' Kate said as she ran her hand up his arm. There were little red marks where he had scratched and a couple of spots.

'What?' he asked, panicked.

'Oh, I think you should go see Ducky.' Abby added, who could see his back. Tony tried to looked over at his back, but had no prevail.

'Why? What is it?' when no-one answered him, he pouted. 'Kate!'

'Here, put this on and we'll go to see Ducky. Yup. That's what we'll do.' She said, flashing a smile. Tony pulled on his shirt. 'You don't have a temperature, do you?'

'Not that I know of.' He replied as she placed a hand on his forehead.

'Nope. Not yet. Ok, let's go.' She ordered him. 'Oh, Abby. Gibbs wanted to see the gun prototype thing on the case.' Abby nodded and jumped off of the counter.

'Got it. Get well soon Tony!' she yelled after them as they went into the elevator.

As soon as they were in the elevator, Tony turned to Kate.

'Katie, what's wrong with me?' he asked her sweetly. She turned to face him.

'It's no biggie.' She replied.

'Then why won't you tell me!' he whined and pouted again.

'You really wanna know?' she sighed. Tony always acted childish. Know what's he gonna be like.

'Yes.'

'Well… I think it's…'

'Yes?'

'I think you have chicken pox.' She smiled again. Tony's face was in shock.

I'm sorry if any of that was OOC. Please let me know!

I haven't been watching it for long and most of the character types/ characteristics I get from reading fanfics!

Please R&R!!!
