A/N: Ok I HAD to write this after I spent the day at a survival camp for science. This should be a shorter fic with maybe 5 chaps and a sequal vacation. Please review!!

Tony, Ziva and McGee walked out of the elevator talking when Abby ran up to them squealing. "Did you hear? Did ya? Did ya? Did ya?!" Abby asked running.

"Calm down Abby, we just got here. What's are you talking about?" asked McGee trying to get Abby to tell them what she was so excited about.

"Well, after the case with the survivalist training camp (A/N: Lost and Found) Vance thought it would be a good idea for everybody on Team Gibbs, myself included, to go to one of these camps and survive a week in the woods by our self." she said barely even breathing in between.

"Don't think so." said Gibbs walking in to the bullpen having heard what Abby siad somehow. "Get to work!" he shouted before heading up the steps towards the director's office.

Thirty minutes later, Gibbs walked out of the director's office with Vance on his heels. "DiNozzo, David, Scioto, McGee, you and Gibbs leave for Mayweather Environmental Center tomorrow." said Vance in an authoritative tone. Several moans and groans came from his audience. "When you have survived a week in the woods, you all get a week of vacation. Now I suggest that you leave and get packed. You don't have an assigned time to be there, but I suggest getting there early." Vance left for his office after his speech.

"Get going!" Gibbs yelled when he saw his agents and forensic scientist still standing there. Abby scurried of to her lab probably to get her things. The three junior grabbed their bags and headed for the elevator.

"This is going to be a week from hell!!!" complained Tony as the three of them got into the elevator.

"Stop complaining! This is for your own good. I had to do this for three weeks in the summer in Israel when I was thirteen by myself. This will be easy!" said Ziva.

"Well sorry Zee-vah! I'm not a ninja who's dad made a teenager risk my life in the woods."

"There are no woods in Israel Tony, there is desert. It is much harder. Maybe if your nice, I'll be your partner in the woods."

"Wait, who said anything about partners?" said McGee finally getting in on the conversation.

"Nobody, but having partners is a good strategy in the woods." said Ziva.

"So what time am I picking you up Ziva?" asked Tony as they stepped out of the elevator.

"Six"

"WHAT? I was thinking nine!" McGee walked away from his arguing co-workers towards his car.

"Tony, we have to get there as early as we can so we can start setting up."

"Fine, but you have to make the coffee."

"Fine." said Ziva and they both parted ways wondering what was in store for the next week.

Ziva had already gone for her run and taken a shower. She a gather the one backpack she had packed last night and was now sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Tony. Granted she had been ready fifteen minutes early, she had been waiting for almost a half hour now. Finally, there was a knock on her door.

"Where have you been? You are fifteen minutes late!"

"Sorry Ziva. I had to stop at the store and buy a sleeping bag but the store only opened at six."

"Whatever. Let's just get going." she said grabbing her single bag and walking out the door.

"She put her bag in the trunk of his car noticing the several bags that were Tony's. "How much stuff did you bring?" she asked surprised.

"A lot of stuff. You'll never know what you'll need."

Tony and Ziva arrived a little after eight later that morning. They saw that Gibbs was already there as they walked inside the pavilion where they were instructed to meet the people in charge.

"Hello, my name is Don Raay. You are either Tony and Ziva or Timothy and Abby." said the man inside.

"Ziva and Tony."

"Nice to meet you. You can leave your bags here." Tony and Ziva put there bags into the locker Don had indicated. "I'll show you where you will have to live for the next week." They followed Don out the door. They walked for a half hour before they saw Gibbs starting a fire.

"Here's the part you don't know. You don't get to use any of the things you brought. Everything you need for survival is right in this forest." Don said and walked away leaving a stunned Tony and Ziva just standing there.

"WHAT?" Tony yelled after him.

Don turned and simply stated, "I have read Gibbs and Ziva's files, stick with them and you'll be fine." Ziva smirked at Tony while Don said. "Nice job by the way Miss. David." walking away.

"Hay, Tony! Are you just going to stand there or are you going to help?" asked Gibbs.

"What about Ziva?" he said looking around only to see her gathering sticks already. "Humph. What should I do Zee-vah?" he asked her.

"Start building your shelter." she said if it was the most obvious thing in the world; mostly because it was.

"Well how do I do that?"

"Grab a stick that is about your height and lean it up against that log." she said pointing to a log a few feet away.

It when on like this for a half hour only for Ziva to finish her shelter and half to build Tony's for him.

At around noon, Don came back out to the three agents and brought them crackers, water bottles, and some other food. "To make it easier on you, I'll bring you all your meals out here but you have to cook your own on your fire." He dropped off the food and left.

After they ate, Tony asked, "Is there anything else we have to do?"

"Well I don't know what you mean by 'we' because I built your shelter and Gibbs built the fire, but no, there is nothing I can think of that we have to do."

Three hours later, about three pm, McGee and Abby finally made it to their camp site. Don told them the news about their luggage. Abby started screaming at him and he made a quick getaway. "This is so not fair! Wait! How do you three already have shelters?" Abby asked Gibbs, Tony, and Ziva accusingly.

"We got hear at around ten this morning, Abby. But maybe if your lucky, you can get Ziva to help you with your shelter. I'll help your with your's McGeek." said Tony already with plans in mind for McGees shelter.

"Ziva, would you pretty please with Caff-Pow on top help me build me shelter?????" Abby asked Ziva with a puppy dog look to top it off.

"Sure we have to hurry. The sun will be going down in a few hours." Ziva and Abby went off to find logs as did Tony and McGee.

Around ten pm, all five people went to bed after a dinner of hamburgers brought out by Don and cooked by Gibbs.

Around two in the morning, it started to rain very hard. Several minutes later, a scream from McGee shortly fallowed by Tony's. McGee shouted Tony's name and Tony shouted Ziva's. They both got out of their shelters and made there way to Abby's and Ziva's; McGee with Abby and Tony with Ziva. It was a squeeze and their proximity was very close to braking rule 12 but nobody seemed to mind; almost as if it was planned (hint hint).

The next morning they awoke to a note and a map leading to a river. Oh goody, can't wit to see what we do today thought Tony.

Please review with ideas!!!!
