Seeley Booth was just shy of 18, and it was his last summer before his senior year. It was going to be epic, him, sun, girls, pools, what could be better? Except his stupid parents had to go and ruin all of his fun. IT WAS HIS LAST SUMMER FOR CHRIST SAKE!

But his mother took it upon herself to send him to her brother's house for what she referred to as "perspective". He was going to have to spend his summer taking care of his little cousins out in Ohio, instead of sitting atop the lifeguard stand the way her normally would. Ohio…. No friends, no summer lovin', just Ohio, and the cousins. This summer was going to utterly suck.

Temperance Brennan usually spent her summers at the cottage with her parents or mother's sisters, but this year her parents decided it would be best if she stayed home. So, she decided if she couldn't spend it at Pre-college Prep or at the cottage she would get a job. What better way to spend her summer time, right? Except the only job she really could do was being in charge of the neighborhood summer day camp. Spending her summer with screaming little children who were extremely obnoxious instead of laying out on the pier relaxing while reading or taking part in considerable amounts of research and working to better her education. This summer was going to be rotten.

Not only was he being shipped off to Ohio for the entire summer, he was being shipped off to Ohio three days after school got out. Making him miss all of the good events and most of his basketball buddies graduation parties. His year was sucking, not only did he not get to go to his junior prom, he was missing out on his summer and when he came back this fall he was going to have to work double hard to keep his GPA up as well as his game, in order to get into college. What did he do to piss off god?

Anyways on Monday he was to get in his car and drive to Ohio, and face the hellish summer this was head on.

School got out two days ago, and there were some graduation parties tonight and basically there were parties thrown by the new senior class all weekend and into next week. And none of that would have mattered to her, but Angela couldn't stop talking about it so most likely she would have to attend them with her. Which doesn't sound that awful but when you're Russ Brennan's little sister things are usually more annoying then they sound. She can't go to a party without people thinking she is going to be as reckless as her brother, or as easy. But she does it anyways because if Angela wants something she gets it.

Driving alone has made him not only feeling more depressed but so frustrated he was thinking about bailing on all of these plans and just taking the next exit to Canada. But then he would be alone for longer and this way at least he'll have a 12 year old, a 7 year old, and a 10 year old to bond with for three months. OH, he had to shudder at that thought.

The good thing about this trip was he could use this time to focus on his fitness. Figuring he could run in the morning and at night, and teach the boys how to shoot hoops, he would be in perfect condition when the season rolls around in the fall. Plus he would have nothing to distract him from getting his shit done now. Lucky he got advanced copies of his textbooks for next year and he could study a little during his free time. The only thing he will be missing out on is fun. Maybe their neighbors are still around, they had a kid his age or a little older, maybe he'll luck out and get company his own age.

It smelt bad. And her eyes were kind of hurting from the smoke that was escaping under the door that was net to her. Angela was off with some guy, Brennan didn't recognize and she was now leaning against a wall alone. There was music in the main room of the house, which she could easily go dance too, but she's not in the mood for that kind of attention, or annoyance.

Watching people was easy at these things. People let go of their inhibitions and seem to lose regard for others around them. It was easy to see what kind of people were around her, and they weren't the kind of people she would want to see herself with. So she decided it was best for her to just slip away, like she usually does. Angela would most likely end up drunk so there was really no need to alert her that Bren was leaving. Weaving her way to the door she noticed several different guys checking her and she narrowly missed a stray hand that was coming close to pinching her ass. Picking up her pace through the house she finally reached the outdoors, slipped off her shoes, and began to walk home, humming to herself.

It had been hours of driving and he arrived finally he had reached his uncles house. He jumped out of his SUV and sized up his surroundings. The house looked exactly how he remembered it with the blue shudders and the rosy red door, looking like the picture perfect American home. There was a front porch swing that he remembered always swinging on when he was little and a lush and green front lawn that was just begging for him to lie down on. So he didn't bother to unload his bags or even shut his car door, he walked over the grass and laid right down, spreading his arms and legs out like he was making a snow angel. He laid there for a long time, and lost himself staring into the stars above him.

She was maybe two houses away from home when, she saw a strange sight. A guy, maybe a year or two older then her, was laying on the Roberts lawn and what she assumed to be his vehicle was left unattended with the door hanging ajar. She walked over to the stranger and glanced down at him. In return she received a semi-blank stare.

"What are you doing?" She whispered to him.

"OH," He was pulled out of his daydream and he eyes fell on the girl staring down at him, her beautiful eyes sparking at him with curiousity. "I'm sorry, I was just looking at the stars, sorry!"

"I don't mind at all, I was just checking to see if you were alright." She glanced around for a second before continuing. "I think your car doors open."

Booth looked up, "Oh yeah, thanks. I'm sorry I'll get out of your way." He jumped up to his feet and moved past her to finally retrieve his stuff from the car.

Brennan moved on and walked past the odd guy and walked up right up her drive way and headed for the front door, before she stepped inside she took a final look back and him and couldn't help the smile spread across her face when she say him carrying luggage next door.

I hope you like it, just a little something that's been rolling around in my head...
