AN: Wow, You would never guess, but I used to be a Fringe girl. Now I realized BONES is way better. My first Bones fic, and I am going with a pre- "Sooner Surrender" (by thebluedahlia, whose story I love) with a little Starbuck drabble. She is just an amazing character I can't help but to use. So "thebluedahlia", thank you for letting me use Starbuck! And this somewhere in between the clawing at Naomi in Chapter 17 and getting to the cell at the end of the very same chapter, in the story "Sooner Surrender". And all I own is the idea, and the passion for the quote below.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes."
-~-~-~-
A soft rumbling is heard throughout a small, compact car. Two adult sized bodies are stuffed and gagged in the back of the vehicle. One body is a male, the other a female. The male, Dr. Jack Hodgins is one of the richest men in the world, whose best friend Zachary (always known as Zach) is falling in love with the female stuffed in the car. Starbuck Mendoza is roughly twenty one, almost flat-chested, with frizzy hair and her nose pierced. She is quickly falling for her new best friend when his sociopath ex-girlfriend, who just happens to be a crazed killer, kidnaps her and Dr. Hodgins. What could possibly be going in her head while knocked out in the trunk of a car from 1985?
-~-~-~-
"What. The. Hell. Is. Gong. On. Here?" Starbuck yells her voice unheard.
"Starbuck…Starbuck! Starbuck!" Distant yelling from an unknown location is heard. She sees aluminum, a lot of it. And some stuff from her backpack, including her phone without battery.
"Where is a Hodgins or a… ZACK!" She screams his name. She realizes that she cannot find him.
"Zack! Zack! ZACK! Zacaroni, where are you?" She searches for him, running into nowhere. A sudden image pops up.
-~-~-~-
"Zack, do NOT give up." Angela shrieks, upset more than anything.
"Angela, I am sorry, my BEST FRIEND, and may I say GIRLFRIEND is missing!" He shrieks back. Angela is silenced.
"Zachary Uriah Addy. May I say that one of my best friends, who also happen to be my fiancé, is missing as well?!" Now it is Zach that is turned silent. Nobody really ever calls him by his full name, unless he is in trouble.
"I apologize."
"It's ok Zach, this is the second, and last, time that Naomi will hurt you."
"I just… Starbuck is more than a woman to me. She…"
"You had sex with her?"
"NO! She is my best friend and more, she knows everything about me, except for Iraq. I even gave her my Firefly shirt."
"Wait a second; you gave her the shirt you repeatedly say you plan to keep forever?"
"Yes. Is that love?"
"Almost there. When you guys have sex, and get married and the whole shebang, you will have said the words 'I Love You' at least a million times."
-~-~-~-
Starbuck did not exactly know that was an actual conversation. It was what she was dreaming. In her dream state, she is running around frantically, tears streaming down her face.
"Zach, I'm scared. It like when we were all quarantined on Thanksgiving, I need someone to hold onto, to let me know that everything is going to be ok. Zack, I love you. Don't let me die." She sobs.
And everything goes black.
-~-~-~-
Ok, so maybe it will not be a one-shot… tell me if it should be continued. I might need some permission for a side Starbuck story (cough cough thebluedahlia cough cough). I really do like it though. I need feedback. Press that pretty green button to let me know if it is good.
