A/N: Okay if any of you are reading my other story 'Second Chances' know that I had promised a story called 'So She Dances', well here it is. I had originally thought to do a one shot with this one, but I am thinking of this having three to four or so chapters.

For all of you reading Second Chances I am very sorry that I have not updated, but I am having some really bad writers block so I hope that it will pass soon, but I wanted to let you know that I am still working on it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or the song/songs that will come later, but the plot is mine.

Gibbs sat at his desk starring at the memo he had just relieved from SecNav. He thought that SecNav must have a sense of humor or was punishing him for his recent standoff with the FBI.

Assigning him to the director's security was bad enough, but having to do this?

Sure he used to enjoy going to balls, but that was a long time ago. The last time he had enjoyed himself at a ball was back in Paris and Jenny was his date, but not now. Now ever since she walked away from him those many years ago he hated them because they always reminded him of his previous relationship with her. Whenever the two of them had attended a ball, they spent the entire evening dancing in each other's arms, and man did they move well together. The spot light always seemed to be on them, although neither one of them seemed to take any notice of it. The nights were always perfect.

Gibbs shook his head to try and rid the memories that started to seep through the walls he had built to keep himself from feeling so much pain. He should not be thinking about when he and Jenny had danced the night away as one body because he would not be able to handle what perhaps was in store for the evening.

Tonight he would not be able to dance with the women his mind so clearly remembered because tonight he was assigned to be the director's security detail. He had to stay alert the entire evening to ensure her safety.

So he would have to sit by and watch her dance with other men other then him, knowing that there was no way that Jenny would go to a ball and not dance.

He couldn't believe this. 'This night is going to be a living hell!' he thought sure of himself that it was going to be true.

Jenny was sitting at her desk reading the list Cynthia had just passed to her. It contained names of her security detail for the evening.

Jack Benson

Mike Jackson

John Clarkson

Ron Stevens

Joe Stewart

And that's when she saw it. The name Jethro Gibbs was scrawled on the sheet, sixth one down. This meant that he would be one of the agents that would have to be in the ballroom with her for the evening.

'Just what I need' she thought 'An evening at a ball with Jethro Gibbs watching over me to make sure nothing happens. Just great, there goes my evening. Hat a way to spoil a perfect day. And go figure it has to happen when things are finally getting back to normal between us, and this has to happen. Dammit!' she continued, she was actually starting to get a grip on her raging emotions, and go figure she is being sent to a ball with Jethro as her security detail, not once had they been able to stay away from each other and not dance when they were at a ball together.

They always wound up giving into temptation and dancing with each other come the end of the evening, most of the time before that. She was hoping that tonight would be different.

She was still praying when a thought suddenly crossed her mind. 'This could be the chance that you've been waiting for Jen.' The little voice tempted her. 'You have been fighting your feelings since you returned to NCIS as director three years ago. Tonight you can finally find out if he still has feelings for you or not.' The voice was growing louder and the idea of finding out if Jethro really did still have feelings for her was starting to sound better and better.

'Of course, you have to wear something sexy, but at the same time decent that will surely catch his eye.' She told herself matter of factly.

A smile spread across her face as a certain dress popped into her head.

'Maybe this night won't be hell after all.' She thought before she decided that she should go home and get ready for the events that will with the evening.

Cynthia smiled a knowing smile once her boss had left the small office. She had read the list of the director's security detail for the evening, as it was protocol, and at first she had been nervous about Agent Gibbs being assigned to the director's detail, but not anymore.

Not once had the director left work so early to get ready for an event and Cynthia was pretty sure that a Certain Leroy Jethro Gibbs ay be the reason why she was suddenly leaving six hours before rather than three.

"It's about Damn time!" Cynthia said out loud in the empty office.

Gibbs was in the middle of getting ready to deliver a head slap to DiNozzo when he felt someone watching him. He turned his head to see who it was, even though he already knew. If he was going to be honest with himself he was always able to tell when she was around and more importantly when she wanted something form him.

Sure enough when he looked towards the catwalk he saw Jennifer Shepard standing their willing him to come and speak to her with her eyes.

They had always been able to communicate with each other with looks; it was one of the things that made their relationship take flight, although the lack of speaking about things was probably what caused it to crash and burn.

Gibbs followed through with his head slap and told him that if he should ever catch DiNozzo and Ziva kissing again they will both loose their jobs and he would have one sore head.

After the 'yes boss' from Tony Gibbs made his way over to where Jenny was standing, wanting to go and talk to her, to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless, while the other side of him wanted to turn the other way and act as if he didn't notice her there. He knew that would never fly, not with her at least, so he continued on his journey and stopped as he stood a few steps in front of her.

Jennifer Shepard stood on the catwalk watching as Gibbs caught Tony and Ziva kissing and smiled somewhat to her self. The two of them reminded her so much of her and Jethro when their relationship first began. She thought of something and decided that if she really wanted to find out if Gibbs was still as interested in her as she was with him then it was worth the risk. She turned her full gaze onto Gibbs knowing that he will feel it and know that she wanted to talk to him, and it worked.

She watched as he made his way up to where she was standing, stopping a few steps in front of her.

"Jen?" he prompted after a second of silence.

"Jethro I was wondering if you would be able to give me a ride home right now. I would really rather not have to wait for my detail to get together and come to pick me up, besides I have a couple of questions to ask you on the way." Jenny said not wanting to come right out and say what she wanted.

He looked at her for a moment trying to figure out why she picked him instead of any one of the other agents, knowing his driving not many people asked him for rides and that's when he remembered that Jenny was the only one who never seemed to have a problem with it. He nodded and held out his hand as a sign for her to go in front of him.

Jenny smiled to herself when Jethro nodded and held out his hand 'So far so good.' She told herself as she started to walk.

Gibbs' longed to reach out and place his hand gently on her back to have contact between the two of them, but he summoned up his self control and fisted his hands as he followed her.

When he passed DiNozzo and Ziva in the bullpen he gave them his patented glare before telling them and McGee that they could have the rest of the day off, but to be here bright and early tomorrow morning. They quickly agreed, not wanting to ask questions and risk him changing his mind. As they got ready to leave he turned back around towards Jen who was looking at him with her brow raised in question.

"What? I'm taking you home and then I have some work I would like to get done before I have to go to that stupid ball this evening." He said, but soon regretted it as he saw a brief flicker of pain cross her face before it was masked by the director's façade.

"Yes, well if you are ready." She said trying to ignore the comment he just made. She loved attending balls as long as he was there, 'but then again he may not feel the same way.' She though, but quickly banished that thought not wanting to give up that easily.

The elevator doors closed and the ride down as well as the walk to his car was spent in silence. He opened the door for her as he normally did when no one else was around and then walked to the driver's side door and got in.

"Jen, you said you had some questions for me." He started curious as to what was so important that she had to ask when no one else was around.

She looked at him for a minute as he focused on the road and then started.

"Well first I assume that you got the memo that you're on my security detail tonight or else you wouldn't even be attending the ball."

"Yea, I did. Is that all you wanted?" he asked somewhat amused at her question because she obviously knew the answer to that one.

"Okay well, I don't know if you know but your position puts you with two other security personnel, I think that they are Jack Benson and Mike Jackson."

"I thought so. Jen what's it you really want to know, this isn't really like you to eat around the bush like this, so why don't you just ask me." He said and she blushed somewhat knowing that he couldn't see her face as she was looking out the passenger side window where she continued looking as she asked the main question.

"Well I was wondering if, you know since your already going to have to arrive with me and be in the ballroom, if you, well, if you umm…." She was babbling, but she couldn't force the words out.

"Jen." He said somewhat encouraging and demanding at the same time.

"I was wondering if you wanted to pick me up and accompany me into the building." She quickly said.

"Jenny I am already accompanying you into the building, I am on security detail." He replied not sure why she was asking of him.

She turned and glared at him. "Duh Jethro! What I meant was if you would take me on your arm into the building, most of the people there are entering on someone's arm, so I was wondering if you would accompany me like that into the building." Jenny replied somewhat exasperated, how could he not get it?

He starred at her for a while before looking back to the road as he turned into her drive way, he shut the car off and looked back at her, catching something that looked like sadness and regret on her face to be once again quickly masked.

"So you want me to be at your house what, an hour before the event starts, it should give us just enough time to make it there before we are late." Gibbs answered with a small smile on his face as Jenny smile as well.

"That will be perfect Jethro, Thank you." Jenny said relieved that he hadn't said no to her proposal. He smiled as he got out of the car and came to her door, once again opening it for her and walking her to her front door.

"Okay, well I guess I will see you around seven. Bye Jethro." Jen said while unlocking her door.

"Buy Jenny, see you tonight." He said turning around and heading back to his car.

She watched him as he returned to his car and couldn't help the swell of happiness that erupted when she thought of how later that night, she would be on Jethro's arm once again, not as they used to be of course, well at least not to start with, but she was hoping that by the end of the night things would be different between them.

"Tonight Jethro" she whispered before closing the door and heading up stairs to start getting ready.

A/N: Well there's the start, I hope you like it so far, let me know what you think. I haven't started the second chapter yet, but have a pretty clear idea of where I want to go with it. The thing is trying to find time to sit down and write it then type it up. I have my SAT's coming up and between school and my job I am having a hard time to find down time to do anything, but I hope to have the second chapter up within two weeks at the most.

I will also continue to try and get over my writers block with Second Chances.

Thanks again, and I hope you will like where I plan to take the next chapter^.^
