Veronica sighed as voices started to argue outside Logan's hotel room. She looked at Logan. He was sleeping soundly, an arm around her waist, oblivious to the noise outside. Veronica flicked her eyes over to the alarm clock. 08:30am it's dull red lights read.

Lying back Veronica listened to the people argue. Then she frowned. One of the voices sounded rather familiar but she couldn't place it.

Finally Veronica slipped from under Logan's arm, threw some clothes on and headed to the door, determined to give the rude people a piece of her mind.

She opened the door and looked at the people curiously. There was a man standing with his back to her. He was wearing a black business suit, his hair was a dark brown. He was facing a woman who was half a head shorter than him. Her shiny brown hair had red highlights in it and fell about her face in loose waves. She had a striking face, like an old Victorian photograph. Pale skin, fine features and piercing blue eyes. She was clad in a pair of jeans, a low cut grey shirt that showed off her curves and a dark jacket. But it was the little boy on her hip that caught Veronica's attention. He had dark blonde hair, dark eyes that he was rubbing with a small fist. He was 3 years old and had one arm wrapped around the woman's neck, clinging to her uncertainly. She stroked his hair absently. Veronica smiled at this, the little boy was her cousin Parker. She now recognized the man's voice as her Uncle Seeley's, the woman's as his partner Temperance Brennan.

Swiftly Veronica came up with a plan to end the arguing once and for all. She snuck up behind her uncle and stole his gun. He didn't even notice. Taking advantage of her tininess, she remained hidden to Temperance. She pressed the gun against her uncle's back and said in a deep voice,

"Freeze." Seeley did that and so did Temperance. Parker looked up and giggled. She winked at him. Temperance frowned, her blue eyes darkening.

"What do you want?" Seeley asked cautiously. Veronica grinned now.

"The same thing I've wanted my whole life but I've never gotten it," she told him seriously.

"I work for the FBI, maybe I can help you get what you want," Seeley bargained, his dark eyes never leaving Temperance's face. Veronica's smile deepened, lighting up her eyes.

"I'm going to hold you to that Agent Booth," she said. Seeley nodded.

"What can I do for you?" he asked. Veronica's eyes twinkled as she looked at Parker and Temperance. She took a deep breath audibly.

"Buy me a pony," she said seriously. Temperance's frown deepened and Parker let out a delighted laugh. Seeley let out a gasp.

"Veronica!" he cried and spun around.

"Uncle Seeley," she cried back, laughing as he picked her up in a hug and spun her around. She dropped the gun, Temperance bent to pick it up. She held it loosely in the hand that wasn't supporting Parker.

When Seeley finally put her down he asked her happily,

"Veronica what are you doing here?" She chuckled.

"I live in Neptune, what are you doing here?" was her response.

"Doctor Brennan and I are working a case," he told her, sobering slightly. Veronica's smile dimmed.

"The body found in the dorm at Hearst," she said and he nodded.

"How do you know about that?" Doctor Brennan asked, still frowning.

"I go to Hearst. The dorm was my boyfriends," She told Doctor Brennan. Booth shook his head.

"I should introduce you. Honey this is Doctor Brennan my partner. Bones this is Veronica Mars my niece," he said. Veronica held out a hand and said,

"Nice to meet you Doctor Brennan." Doctor Brennan handed Booth his gun and shook Veronica's hand.

"Please call me Temperance," she said politely. Parker, who had remained quiet patiently wiggled out of Temperance's arms.

"Veronica!" he squealed, throwing himself at Veronica, who scooped him up in a tight hug.

Booth smiled as he watched his niece hug his son. Parker was babbling away to Veronica at a million miles an hour. Veronica was smiling indulgently, replying to his lightning quick questions. He shot a thrilled smile at Temperance who returned it, their fight extinguished.

The door to the room behind them opened and Logan stepped out, awoken by all the commotion. His brown eyes were narrowed with confusion. Booth's eyes scanned Logan, noting his clothes had been quickly pulled on, that his face was still sleepy. He looked at Veronica, eyes narrowing when he realised her clothes were the same, her face was bare of make-up, her hair tousled.

"Veronica what's going on?" Logan asked, his voice husky from sleep. Veronica turned to him, shooting a blindingly bright grin his way.

"Logan this is Seeley Booth, my uncle," she said pointing to Booth. Logan stepped over and shook Booth's hand, his eyes watching him curiously. "His partner, Doctor Temperance Brennan," she said pointing to Temperance. "And this cutie," she said looking at Parker, "Is my cousin Parker."

"Uncle Seeley, Temperance this is my boyfriend Logan Echolls," she said smiling.

"So it was your dorm that the body was found in," Temperance said, her eyes bland as she looked at Logan. Logan nodded, looking at her in confusion. Veronica saved him.

"Logan, Uncle Seeley and Temperance are the FBI agent and Forensic Anthropologist the Dean told you were coming." Logan's eyes widened with comprehension and he nodded.

"Veronica why don't you guys get cleaned up then come downstairs and we'll have breakfast together," Booth asked, a tight smile on his face. Veronica sighed, knowing exactly what was going on.

"Sure we'll be down in about half an hour," she told him, kissing Parker and setting him down.

Veronica flopped onto the bed when she and Logan were back in his room. Logan lay next to her,

"I'm going to get the 3rd degree aren't I?" he asked, stroking her hair. Veronica nodded, her face buried in the doona cover.

"If you thought my dad was bad, you wait til you're alone with Uncle Seeley. I think it's from being an army sniper in the war and then working for the FBI," she told him, her voice muffled. Logan pressed a kiss against her hair and told her,
"It'll be fine. I'm a good boy now and since he loves you and so do I, he'll eventually love me too." Veronica had to smile.

Logan was in for a surprise. Seeley Booth wasn't known for his subtlety.

Down the hall Seeley Booth thought about Logan Echolls. He'd called and gotten a background check on the young man. Logan was the son of Aaron Echolls, who'd murdered Logan's girlfriend and Veronica's best friend Lily Kane. Veronica had been the one to solve the case. Logan had also been tried for the murder of Felix Gonzalez, but it had been found guilty. He was infamous with the media for his quick temper and stupid stunts.

Booth knew that his brother, Keith approved of the relationship. Something about Logan having changed and Veronica being a good influence. He knew his niece was smitten with the young man, and that she was very happy with him.

Booth sighed, unsure of what to make of the young man. Temperance left Parker in front of the TV and sat next to him. Booth lent against her, troubled. Temperance ran her hand through his hair.

"Not sure what to make of him are you?" she asked, amusement playing in her voice.

"I've seen his record, know what he's done, what he's capable of. But what shakes it up is for the past year he's been a good citizen," Booth told her. She smiled, it wasn't often Booth didn't know what to make of someone.

"Just get to know him a little bit, then make up your mind," Temperance said. Booth nodded.

"You're right Bones," he muttered then drew her forward and gave her a solid kiss. She smiled against his lips, knowing he was calm for the moment.

Shall I continue??
