Three weeks later, Tali enjoys being back home with her dad and her three best friends. She enjoys returning to school by working hard on behind assignments for her classes as her teachers were proud of her to have great grades again. She was happy to see her dad being his hilarious self again while spending time with McGee during his time in Philadelphia. She noticed how her high school was feeling safe again with more agents around the school campus. She began spending more time with her dad and her three best friends. She invited her three friends for a sleepover and was sitting on her window seat looking up at the Northern Star. She looked back at her two friends who were setting up their sleeping bags on the floor.

          "I remembered my imah told me that Northern Star is a way to help you to come back to your family member or friend. I hope to come back to my imah one day and I never lose hope. Ever since I was brought to my dad and he continues telling me stories about my mom. I have been putting pictures on my window seat to remember my mom after getting one picture of my imah for Christmas, Easter, and my birthday to put on the wall of my window seat. We should get some sleep for tomorrow." Tali said to her friends,
Andrea listens to Tali in being so happy with being back with her three best friends. They get ready for bed and fall asleep on their sleeping bags after they chatted for a little bit. Dinozzo was still awake in his office until he heard footsteps again outside. He ran out of his office into the neighborhood street where he looked around the street and saw someone walking him, who he didn't know who was still alive. He soon recognizes it was Ziva with being filled with so many emotions, before it was beginning to rain as he still looked at her.

          "Ziva, how are you alive?! Why didn't I find you during my search?! I have been raising our daughter for almost a few years after giving up on looking for you. You know our daughter has been waiting to see you again after she has been having strange feelings like I have been having after what happened to you." Dinozzo said to Ziva,
Ziva slowly walks towards Tony and looks at him after grabbing her umbrella and opening it up when it's starting to rain. She noticed the same look on Dinozzo's face from the time when he was trying to rescue her.

          "Dinozzo, you should know that I've been trying to fix my life and fake my death was the right thing to risk my life from someone who wants me gone. I thought you were going to find me and bring Tali back to me. Now, I'm here to be part of the family and see my daughter again after years of hiding. I want to surprise her on her 16th birthday to be a very special birthday for her. You know I've been waiting for years for this day for so long." Ziva said to Dinozzo,
Dinozzo listens to Ziva as he remembers the last time that he was with Ziva before returning to NCIS. He knows how much it means for his daughter to be so happy to reunite with her mom. Dinozzo looks at Ziva while he agrees with her idea.

          "I knew it was you walking into the house and putting those letters next to the picture each month. I have deep feelings about the fact that you were alive and somewhere on the east coast. I've been raising our daughter in giving a life like you always want to. Tali has been asking about you since she was 10 years old." DiNozzo said to Ziva,
Ziva listens to Dinozzo as she was happy to see how her daughter was having a life that she always hoped for. She prepares to take her leave and she looks at Dinozzo with a joyful expression on her face.

          "Tony, I need to get my life back to normal after going through so much in Israel. For now I want to continue my own mission to finish before going back to Tali. Now goodbye Tony and see you again." Ziva said to Tony, Dinozzo listens to Ziva as he watches her away from him while it continues to rain down during the rain storm. He rushed back inside the house after he watched his dearest friend walk away. He walks upstairs to check on his daughter and her three friends who were sound asleep. He knew how much it means for his daughter to be reunited with her mom after she always strongly believed that she was alive. He walked out to his bedroom to get some rest for another work at home like he started after they moved into the neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

                     Later that early morning, Tali woke up on her bed with her two friends sleeping on the floor. She got out of bed and walked into her bathroom to get ready for the day. After she was done getting ready for the day, Tali walked out of her bedroom into the hallway to the stairs. She walked down the stairs as her father was getting breakfast done. He looked around the kitchen and saw his daughter walking into the kitchen to help make breakfast.

          "I thought you were still asleep with your friend in your bedroom after we got a huge rain storm last night. For now, could you help set up the dinner table for breakfast and help me with making pancakes in the kitchen." Tony said to his daughter,
Tali listens to her dad as she grabs three plates from the kitchen cabinet and walks into the dining room. She begins thinking about how her sixteenth birthday is coming up soon and she will be happy to begin planning her birthday party. She puts down the three plates on the dining table and returns to the kitchen to help her dad with making pancakes. She enjoys chatting with her dad while making pancakes for hearing stories about his time at NCIS. They brought breakfast into the dining room while her friends were still sound asleep upstairs in Tali's bedroom.

                     Later that morning, Tali and her dad were at the dinner table eating breakfast while her two friends were still asleep. She was so happy to be with the people who cared about having a fun morning with them after the rough start of high school. Tali looks at her dad while she finishes drinking some apple juice.

          "Aba, could you tell me one of your stories about your time at NCIS? It would be alright if we can invite your friends from NCIS to my sixteenth birthday party? I want to make this birthday very special; me and my friends can help plan my birthday party with you being so busy with your work." Tali asked her dad,         
Dinozzo listens to Tali as she enjoys eating some of the pancakes and almost forgot about her birthday. He was happy with his daughter to have two friends who can help out. He looked at his daughter as he noticed her being so much like her mom in a curious mood.

          "It was both fun and serious at NCIS while me and my team worked on every case. I do remember how Kate was a brand new agent after she got fired from her last job, before she tragically died during a risky mission. Ziva chose to be part of NCIS for her personal reasons and she always thinks of helping others before herself during every case. She was a great fighter when things went wrong during some cases. You should know that you have her strength and courage in risking to help NCIS." Dinozzo said to Tali,
Tali enjoys listening to her dad while being happy to have stories about her imah. She remembers learning about Kate from her dad and seeing pictures of her next to her dad. She looked at her dad.

          "Thank you Aba for telling me about imah. I will go clean up the living room before my friends wake up." Tali said to her dad,
She leaves the kitchen and goes into the living room. She enjoys looking at the picture of her parents who were in Europe. She felt like looking at pictures of her imah to be part of her life after leaving her from a young age. She still will always remember how to trust her instincts to believe how her imah was somehow alive.

                     Later that morning, Andrea and Wynonna finally wake up after they sleep in and smell breakfast from downstairs. They joined Tali and Dinozzo for breakfast in the dinner room. Tali was happy to see her two friends finally join her and her dad for breakfast after she let them sleep in. Andrea looks at Tali after she eats some of her breakfast.

          "Tali, do you have ideas for your birthday party this year? You might have the greatest birthday parties in the neighborhood. Oh yeah, me and Wynonna are going back home to our families. Wynonna's parents are planning to do some traveling for homeschooling her. We are the only two who are going back to school next month to let our teacher get everything ready before we get back." Andrea asked Tali,
Tali listens to Andrea as she thinks about her birthday party in figuring out which theme to do this year. She remembers having small birthdays with her dad before coming back to the states. She was happy to be able to have birthday parties with her friends, classmates, and sometimes neighborhood kids. Tali looks at Andrea after she drinks more of her apple juice.

          "I was thinking of a fantasy birthday party this year. I feel like this birthday is going to be more special that I just don't know why, I will find out one day. Let's enjoy breakfast and go take a walk to the marketplace at the park. I heard this year's marketplace is something special. We could find things for the party there." Tali said to Andrea,
They enjoy talking about their plans for a fun day at the marketplace and eating their breakfast. They grabbed their dishes and brought them into the kitchen, where they washed their dishes to put them into the dishwasher. They walked upstairs to Tali's bedroom to get ready for their fun day to visit the marketplace. Tali and her friends walked out of her house after getting ready for their fun day. They walked the sidewalk towards the park, where they noticed the marketplace was a renaissance fair. Tali grabbed her friends hands and took them into the renaissance fair towards a huge tent for being a medieval outfit shop near the entrance. They look through the tent to look at the different dresses and gowns with different designs, colors, and jewels. Tali found an aqua blue and silver gown with a beautiful design of a land that reminds her of her original home. Andrea walked towards the different gowns with different shades of pink on the right side of the tent. She found the right gown with different shades of pink and gold, which reminded her of her favorite childhood movie. Wynonna went to the left side of the tent towards a group of different dresses with different shades of purple. She found a light purple and silver dress which reminded her of her favorite show. They went to the front of the medieval outfit shop to buy their dresses. They went to the middle tent next to the medieval outfit shop to change into their medieval outfits. They went to the medieval jewelry shop to buy matching jewelry to put them on. Tali and her friends enjoy the rest of the renaissance fair in being very welcoming to so many people. They went to different medieval shops to buy things for Tali's birthday party. They walked deep into the renaissance fair where they walked into the traven where they buy their lunch. They sat down at a table near the window and they enjoyed their lunch. Tali looks at Kat while she finishes eating her lunch.

          "Andrea, you should know that this is my very first time attending a renaissance fair in being the perfect time to get things for my birthday party. Now let's enjoy the rest of our day to explore more of the renaissance fair. I heard about having the chance to meet the queen of the renaissance fair. Maybe we could get the chance to do this experience to make our day more exciting." Tali said to Andrea,
Andrea and Wynonna nod to Tali's idea for making their day more exciting. They finished their lunch and put their dishes together to help the people who work at the traven. They walked out of the traven and walked down the path towards a huge tent. They joined the group of people who were watching the announcer walking towards them and opened the scroll while walking into the group of people.

          "Ladies and gentlemens, I'm here on the behalf of our dearest Queen Margaret who has deeply invited Lady Tali, Lady Andrea, and Lady Wynonna for a grand tea party inside the castle for being her personal guests." Announcer said to the group of people,
Tali and her friends were truly surprised by this announcement to be invited to the Queen's grand tea party. They notice a young lady walking towards them when the group of people walk away from them. Young lady bows to the three girls and she looks at them.

          "Hello Lady Tali, Lady Andrea, and Lady Wynonna, I am Lady Adalinda, I am here on the behalf of my queen to bring you three to her private apartments in the castle. Now follow me." Adalinda said to the three girls, Tali and her friends followed Adalinda towards the front entrance of the huge tent and walked through the hallway to the queen's private apartments. They followed Adalinda into the queen's private apartments where she walked towards her queen who was sitting on her chair next to the table.

          "Your highness, I found the three ladies and brought them here by your request." Adalinda said to her queen,
Margaret got up from her chair after grabbing a scroll from the small table and walked towards the three girls. She looked at Adalinda after she gave her the scroll.

"Adarlinda, you could check if things are ready for my grand tea party." Margaret said to Adarlinda,
Adarlinda bows to her queen and walks out of the tent outside to the huge tent. Margaret brought the three ladies towards a table with different sweets and baked goods on different plates. Tali and her friends sat down at the table with Margaret. Margaret gave them three tea cups after putting some tea in them and she looked at them while holding her tea cup in her hands.

          "I know you three ladies have so many questions why I invited you three to be my personal guests for my grand tea party. I have heard some stories about three young ladies wearing very beautiful and bright gowns from some of my very good friends, who brought me some of the stories about seeing three ladies dressed in noble style. I have made the announcement hoping for you three to hear about it and sending my faithful lady to find you three to let me meet you three. Now I have some unique gifts for you three ladies." Margaret said to the three ladies, Margaret put her tea cup down on the table and she clapped her hands for having three of her ladies holding three small wooden chests in their hands into her private tent. Margaret's three ladies put down the three small wooden chests on the table and walked out of her private tent. Margaret got up from her chair and she looked at the three ladies.

          "I should take my leave to check on final things for my grand tea party. I will have my faithful Lady Adarlinda to escort you three to my table." Margaret said to the three ladies,
Margaret walked out of her private tent to walk to the huge tent with her two knights. Tali and her two friends grabbed each of the three small wooden chests off the table. Each of them opened their gifts being different things inside the small wooden chests. Tali opened her gift to see an amethyst and silver tiara inside of her small wooden chest. They got up from the three chairs and walked out of the queen's private tent after grabbing their small wooden chests off the table. They headed towards the huge tent where Adarlinda was waiting for them and brought them to the queen's table where other ladies were sitting at a nearby table. Tali and her friends enjoy their time with the queen and other special guests during the grand tea party. Margaret gave some gifts to her new friends who were getting things for Tali's birthday party. They enjoy the rest of their time at the renaissance fair while finding things for Tali's birthday party.

                     Later that late afternoon, Tali and her friends returned to her house after a super fun time at the renaissance fair and finding so many things for her birthday party. They walked upstairs to Tali's bedroom after walking into the front door to change into comfortable clothes. They walked downstairs to the living room to sit on the couch where Dinozzo walked out of his office into the living room. He looked at his daughter and her two friends.

          "Looks like you girls are having fun at the marketplace. I guess it was a medieval marketplace. You buy a lot for the party. I will let your friends stay one more night after a fun day. Oh yeah, I made dinner and it's in the kitchen. you could take your dinner upstairs, including dessert." Tony said to Tali, Andrea, and Wynonna,
Tali grabs the three baskets off the coffee table to get up from the crouch and gives them to her dad after she has a super grand time at her very first renaissance fair with her friends.

          "Me, Wynonna, and Andrea have a great time today with getting some great things for my birthday party. It was what we needed for some fun after having some rough days." Tali said to Dinozzo,
Tali walked back to the couch and sat down next to Kailani, where she was listening to her friends talking about ideas for her birthday party. Tony walked back into his office to put the three baskets in his office closet where he has other party stuff. He went back to his desk and continued doing his work on his computer. Tali and her friends went into the kitchen to grab some leftovers and went back to the living room to continue talking about final ideas for Tali's birthday party.

                     Three weeks later, Tali and Andrea were finishing up putting final decorations in the living room, dinner room, and kitchen in the early morning. They returned to Tali's bedroom after finishing decorating for the party and started to get ready for the party. Kat sat down on the chair to let Tali help Kat put her hair into a messy bun for bed. Kat looks up at Tali while she puts her jewelry on top of the jewelry box to get ready for the birthday party tomorrow morning.

          "Tali, I'm very sorry that Wynonna is not here. Her family left to have vacation in Florida for the rest of this month and next month to travel to New York City. I'm still glad to be here for your birthday, my family might be busy with other things. I heard Gibbs and his team are invited to your birthday party. Is it true?" Andrea asked Tali,
Tali walked towards her closet to grab her aqua blue/silver gown and Andrea's pink/gold gown from her closet. She looked at Andrea after she brought two gowns to her window seat and put them down there for tomorrow.

          "Yes, they are coming to my birthday party. My dad sent out invitations last week to them and they sent replies to say yes about coming. I still have a strange feeling that something is going to happen during my birthday party. It's just a feeling like nothing is going to happen. We should go help my dad with getting snacks, drinks, and desserts ready for tomorrow. We could also help set up the party gifts next to the front door." Tali said to Andrea,
Andrea listens to Tali as she gets up from the chair and walks towards the window seat, where she checks on their gowns for tomorrow. Tali put her hair into a messy bun with Andrea walking towards the bed and sitting on the end of the bed. Andrea looks at Tali while she is putting on her night robe after grabbing it off the bed.

          "Tali, I have been so happy with you being my best friend since we first met when you and your dad moved into this neighborhood. We first met Wynonna on our first day of high school in our home classroom. Now, she is traveling around the world with her family and being homeschooled. We should go to the kitchen to help your dad." Andrea said to Tali, Tali listens to Andrea as she grabs a box of party decorations off her bed. They walked out of Tali's bedroom after getting ready for bed to help Dinozzo with final things for the birthday party tomorrow. They help put different size plates on the dining room table for the snacks, drinks, and desserts tomorrow. They walked into the kitchen and finished decorating Tali's birthday cake with the final details. They put the cake into the fridge and grabbed some leftovers for their dinner. They eat their dinner in the kitchen while Dinozzo walks out of his office to grab some leftovers for his dinner and return to his office. Tali and Kat walked upstairs after cleaning and putting their dirty dishes in the dishwasher. They got ready for bed and they got into the bed before they fell asleep. Dinozzo walked out of his office after finishing eating his dinner before noticing no letter next to the picture of him and Ziva in the living room. He walked into the kitchen to start the dishwasher after putting away all of the dirty dishes and returned to his office to turn off his computer. He walked upstairs to his bedroom to get some rest for the big day.
