This is my take on what happened after the last episode on Tues. Dec. 15. Enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ziva looked at Tony after Dolores had left.

"See, that was easy, yes?" She said to him smiling.

"Yeah," Tony said thinking about it. "It gives me this feeling and I can't really place it, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside." He said jokingly.

"I believe someone has eaten a piece of humility pie yes?"

"It's humble pie Ziva."

"Yes." She responded, "It is late Tony, I should go home." Ziva turned and went to go get her things when Tony said, "Wait!" She turned to look at him.

"I wanted to give you something." He said. She eyed her partner suspiciously as she walked over to him. Once she stood in front of him again, he took a black box out of his pocket. She backed away slightly.

"Tony," She said. She tried to say more, but to her disadvantage no other words would form.

"Ziva," Tony started. He couldn't go on. Ziva stopped him.

"Tony, you can not do this to me. We have not stitched things up between us, and there is rule twelve, and I do not think you of all people would be the type to do this sort of thing. Besides, most go on dates first before they jump into things, yes? This is unethical. I know you want me to stay here, but I do not think this is the answer. If you think about it it is useless Tony. I took my citizenship test, I passed, I am a citizen and an agent now. Tony, we both know that it would not work right now and," she was stopped mid rant by a laughing Tony. She looked utterly confused at this.

"What?" She said.

"First, it is patched things up," Tony said trying not laugh anymore then necessary. He went on, "Second, I am not marrying you."

"Than what is in the box?" He gave the box to her.

"Tony," she said once she opened it, "Todah."

"I knew you'd like it. Do you want me to put it on your necklace?"

"Yes, please." He took the charm and put it on the chain of her necklace.

"How did you know it was missing?" She asked when he was done.

"When I saw you in Somalia, I realized your necklace was gone." She touched the Star of David that was now on her necklace again.

"I have a gift for you too." She said to Tony.

"Really what is it?" She smiled and kissed him. When they pulled apart he looked at her.

"Christmas tradition, yes?" She said pointing up. Tony looked and saw mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. They laughed.

Tell me what you thought. I know it was complete fluff, but it's Christmas time, Christmas is filled with fluff and romance. (seriously, watch some Christmas movies on Hallmark or Lifetime, it's pretty sad.) Review!

Aww, it's so cute! ...writes loving sister CelticCrossings....
