I'm a recent Bones fan, just to let you know. So I don't exactly know EVERYTHING there is to know about the show. lol. But I've just been watching some old re-runs of the show and found it funny and enjoyed it so much that I've been trying to find old scripts and episodes on YouTube to look at. I love it that much! haha. But to be honest, when it first came out back in 2005, I really didn't want to watch it, probably cuz I was so mad that David Boreanaz wouldn't be playing Angel anymore, but hey, I'll admit that was stupid and childish of me. So, yeah, here I am, like three years later, writing a fan fic about it. How lame is that? haha. Maybe I should just get to the story? Yeah? Okay!
Oh and a little PS: her name is prounounced CAR-RA.

There was a sharp knock on Dr. Temperance Brennan's office door. She looked up from her paper work to see a young woman about the age of 20 or 21 with short red choppy hair in a skirt, blouse and heels. Brennan quickly got up, walked over to the door and gave the girl a warm smile, shaking her hand.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Brennan," she began, "and you must be Cara Francis." The girl smiled at her, nodding her head.
"Yes," she said and then went on, "it's on honor to be working with you, Dr Brennan."
"No, the honor is all mine," Brennan said. "Now either choose my last name or my first name to call me by." Cara was taken back by Brennan's words, but she quickly recovered and nodded her head. "Now, let's go and introduce you to the rest of the team." Ten minutes later they were walking into the spacious lab and all work seemed to stop so the mostly male dominated lab could stare at Cara's curvacious body.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Brennan began and added in a small voice towards Cara, "mostly arrogant men," and then she continued to the room at large, "this is Dr. Cara Francis and she will be working with us from now on." The guys nodded in approval while some of the girls shook their head at the men. "Come with me," she said to Cara, "so you can meet Hodgins." Cara nodded and followed Brennan to where Hodgins stood, smiling at them.
"Hello," he said, shaking Cara's hand, "I'm Jack Hodgins."
"Cara Francis," Cara said automatically, putting her hand back to her side.
"Uhm, no offense but how old are you Cara?" Hodgins asked. Cara and Brennan shared a look, both of them opening and closing their mouths like fish.
"Does that, uh, really matter, Hodgins?" Brennan asked.
"No, no, God, no, I'm just... curious," he said, his words fumbling.
"So, where's the rest of 'em?" Brennan asked, changing the subject quickly.
"They should be here s--"
"BONES!" a loud voice boomed across the lab. Brennan groaned, putting a hand over her head.
"Who's 'Bones'?" Cara asked. Brennan just raised her head as a man approached them with two women and another man right behind him.
"Hey, Booth," Brennan greeted.
"Who's this?" Booth asked, eyeing Cara, who stepped up to him quickly, her hand outstretched to his.
"I'm Dr. Cara Francis," she said immediatly and Brennan was impressed that this young woman didn't feel inadequate towards Booth. Booth took Cara's outstretched hand in his and shook it.
"Special Agent Seeley Booth," he said. Cara then looked past him.
"Hi, Camille," she said, smiling slightly as she enveloped Cam in a hug.
"Hi, Cara," Cam said, hugging the young woman back. "I see you did as I ordered you to do." Cara nodded as she pulled herself away from Cam's embrace. "Oh, and this is Angela Montenegro," she said, pointing at the other woman, "and this is Lance Sweets," she said, pointing at the other man.
"It's nice to meet you all," Cara said, smiling.
"Okay, I'm confused," Booth said, looking around. "Is anyone else confused?"
"She's new to the team, Booth," Brennan said, leaning against a lab table, her arms crossed.
"Still confused," Booth said again. Brennan rolled her eyes.
"Dr. Brennan and I hand picked her out of a roster of over 200 people qualified for the position of forensic anthropologist here at the lab," Cam said.
"I'm still wondering how old she is!" Hodgins said, raising his hand.
"Yeah, so am I," Booth said, staring at Cara as if she was an eyesore.
"The only people who know how old I am are the two who picked me out," Cara said. "So, I won't be the one to tell you and neither will they." Booth scoffed and Cara just smirked.
"Welcome to the team, Cara," Angela said.
"Thank you," Cara told her before Booth went back to the real reason he was there and he turned to Brennan.
"Bones, they found the body of a child in a field just outside of the city," he told her, "so I guess we better get to work."
"Alright," she said before turning to Cara and saying, "I'll be back later and if you need some help you know where Cam's office is. But I'm sure everyone here will be willing to help you out, alright?" Cara nodded and then Brennan and Booth were off. Cam smiled at her before saying goodbye and heading to her office.
"So," a voice said from beside her. She turned and saw that it was Lance Sweets. "You don't want anyone to know you're real age?" She just smiled and shook her head.
"Nope," she told him.
"I guess that means you're uncomfortable with your age," Lance stated. Cara crossed her arms and turned her whole body to face him.
"Not exactly," she told him. "You're the local psych guy, right?"
"Yep," he said with a big smile on his face. She looked him over quickly before stating what was on her mind.
"You have OCD, don't you?" his smile fell.
"W-what?" he said, confused.
"You have OCD, don't you?" she repeated, a bit slower than before.
"I don't know what you're talking ab--" he began but was interupted.
"Your shoes are shined to all of perfection, your shirt is pressed and tucked into your pants, and your tie is completly straight," she told him. "You are either a big perfectionist or you have OCD, take your pick." And with that, she walked away with a triumphant smile on her face while Lance was still trying to figure her out.
