EL DIABLO MYSTERIO

Disclaimer: I definitely don't own Bones, though I'll try to save up money to own it (my impossible dream)

Summary: A weird gathering transforms our fave gang into a 1970's gang of detectives!

Chapter 1

A very tired team of 'squints' as Booth lovingly referred to the scientists of the Jeffersonian Institution were just waiting for the time to leave when…

"Everyone, I have an announcement!" Their boss, Dr. Goodman said…"Let me guess, we have to identify another prehistoric person dug out of somewhere I'd rather not go?", the irritable Jack Hodgins proposed which earned him a slap from Angela. Bones and Zack just listened on. "Not quite Mr.Hodgins but you are all obliged to attend the El Diablo Mysterio Ball, an event happening only once every 3 years." The commanding African voice boomed. "What king of event is that? Semi-formal, Formal, or just casual?" Angela quipped while successfully silencing an enraged Hodgins by muffling his protests by using a very large ham sandwich. "I'm sorry but I can't go! I promised I'd go out with my brother for dinner!" Bones surprisingly, protested. "Then he is also invited." Their boss said in a proud Cheshire voice while Bones' jaws go slack. Then they turned to look as another person stepped in the vicinity of their offices.

"G' morning everyone. Hey Bones, did you all get invited to The El Diablo thigrmajigr ball?" A very happy Booth asked, grinning dementedly at his sometimes-naïve partner. "First of all, its El Diablo Mysterio, second, yes we were." A very grouchy Bones snapped. "I think somebody's grumpy…" her annoying FBI agent crooned. "Am not." Was the tart reply. "Yeah whatever(signature grin). Say, what character did you get?

Mine's Maurizio Sanchez." The others stare blankly at him. "Could you tell us what kind of party this really is?" A now apprehensive Zack quietly said." Well, it's a kind where you each portray a character you choose and try to solve the fictional mystery prepared by our Federal organizers. Don't worry. Some members of the FBI, CIA, and the Justice Department will participate." Their boss's pronouncement sent Hodgins in a raging tantrum. "What? First, you force us to attend this no-good party then you expect us to act?" A shout yet again rewarded by a more painful slap from Angela. "Stop slapping me!" "Not until you learn to shut up!" Exchanging words, they continued to argue while looking at each other with daggers. "To be honest with all of you, acting is not really my best talent. Bones ruefully said. "Don't worry about it. It's really easy. You'll do great" Booth encouragingly said. Her calm demeanor didn't reach her eyes. He could see that she was really nervous about this. While all of this was going on, Hodgins and Angela still continue to argue. Zack, after enduring 5 minutes of this and couldn't take it any longer whined. "Oh guys, please stop all that bickering. It really gives me a headache. Why can't you just imitate Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth talking quietly in the corner? They, unlike you two lovebirds, have a chance in love, for you two can't agree about anything!" A pronouncement causing our fave couple to blush and for Angela and Hodgins (also blushing) to shoot more daggers in poor Zack's direction. The young prodigy gulped and felt it wise to retreat and be silent.

"Can I please have your attention people! We are now to pick our characters." All willingly obliged, anything to escape that awkward moment. Here's what they picked

Zack: Zoobee Einstein

-the person claiming to be a direct descendant of the great Albert Einstein, though his high IQ didn't guarantee more success than his suppose to be predecessor. He is so obsessed about his failed inventions that he doesn't talk very much.

Angela: Carmina Sanchez

-Maurizio Sanchez sister, a true socialite, she spends most of the money their deceased parents left them over accessories, bags, clothes and extravagant parties. She is also a subject to the obsession of Debonair Adonis, her brothers business partner and supposedly one of the most eligible bachelors in town.

Hodgins: Debonair Adonis

a man who prides himself for his vast wealth and what I think is natural looks. He could wrap any woman around his finger, too bad the beautiful Carmina Sanchez doesn't notice.

Goodman: Jack Garber

-the most trusted friend of the Sanchez's deceased parents, and executor of their state. A gentle presence in the house with a hidden secret about their parent's past, a private investigator who trains others who wish to be investigators.

Booth(as you all know):Maurizio Sanchez.

-brother of Carmina and eldest son of the Sanchez household. He inherited his father's business smarts and runs the family business, Sanchez Enterprise, successfully. A seemingly cold guy, but fancy's an unassuming lady.

Russ(Bones picked for him):Mycroft Holmes

-supposed to be a descendant of the great Sherlock Holmes(let's all assume Sherlock Holmes is real), a truly clueless detective and tries to solve the mystery. His cousin Cecile Story is actully a very good detective. His cousin is somewhat resentful of her, yet tries his best to protect her

Bones: Cecile Story

a great investigator in the making, training under the famous Jack Garber. She and her cousin try to solve a mystery while in the process, catches the heart of the aloof Maurizio.

Let the mystery begin!

Polyhymnia01:And there is the first chapter of El Diablo Mysterio…

Dr. Goodman: You know Miss Polyhymnia, for a new writer, you did ok…

Hodgins: So not! This is all a conspiracy you two teamed up to humiliate me!

Angela: Do please shut up!

Zack: I am really a descendant of Einstein and my inventions are more successful!

Angela: So where's Booth and Bones?

Hodgins: Doing something exciting I hope…

Dr. Goodman: Don't worry, next chapter we will try to as you put it miss Montenegro, play matchmaker. (All looks at Polyhymnia 101 while Goodman glares at her)

Polyhymnia01: yEah sure whatever…(looking a little scared and intimidated.)
