Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Bones or any of the characters. They belong to whoever they belong to, and not me, I also do not own the songs mentioned (Breakfast at Tiffany's- Deep Blue something and Girls Just wanna have Fun- Cyndi Lauper)... So, now we got that out of the way, ENJOY! Wait, I honestly can't find Bren's birthday, so I made it up. That ok? Good.
Happy Birthday Brennan!
Temperance Brennan woke up feeling unusually happy for a Monday. She got out of bed and looked at her calendar. October 18th, her birthday. Her good mood immediately vanished. 'Great' she thought to her self 'everyone is going to make a big deal. Again'. Last year there had been an unsuccessful attempt to get Brennan to go to her own birthday party. This year, she was sure, would be the same. She went into the bathroom to take a shower, picked out an out fit that didn't scream 'Look at me, it's my birthday' and went to have some toast and a cup of coffee.
She left the house at the normal time and set out to work. There was traffic, lots of traffic, which meant road works, which meant she would be late for work, and they would make exceptions, because it was her birthday. This only worsened her mood, and she was becoming more frustrated by the minute. After about 20 minutes or so of moving about an inch every five minutes, she decided to call Booth. "Booth" he answered the phone. "Hey, it's Brennan. I'm in a traffic jam and I would appreciate it if you could tell the guys at work why I'm late?" "Sure, where are you, I could get you out of there, if you like?" he offered. If it had been any other day, she would be grateful for the offer, but today, seeing as she was dreading getting into work anyway, she declined. "No, Booth, it's fine. Just make sure they know I'll be in soon. Bye" She could tell he was about to say something, but she hung up anyway.
She turned the radio on and it was her favorite song, Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something (it had previously been 'Girls just wanna have fun' by Cyndi Lauper, but we all know what happened with that. ). "And I said, what about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'? She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got." She sang along with the chorus and it was surprisingly warm for the autumn day. She wound down her window slightly and let a breeze in. She sang along through the whole song and, as she was doing so, the traffic began to move forward once again. It seemed that what ever the problem was, it had been solved. She drove the rest of the way to work just singing to whatever came on the radio.
When she arrived at work she was over an hour late, due to the detour she had to follow because of the road works. Honestly, though, she wasn't bothered. She had had loads of fun just singing at the top of her voice while the people around looked, she didn't care about what they thought. Today was her birthday, it was her day. "You're late. Booth called, he said you'd be here 'soon'. What happened?" Came a voice from behind her. It was Cam, she smiled "There was a detour, road works. I'm sure you'll understand." Brennan then semi-skipped away to her office, leaving her boss dumbstruck.
So, what do you think? It's my birthday and I was inspired. There is another Chapter coming up soon. I'm working on it now. Will Brennan's good mood last? Find out, next time! R&R please :D Btw, it was longer when I typed it on word!
