Spoilers for "The Pain in the Heart." Takes place sometime during "The Pain in the Heart" but before they learn Zack is the apprentice….sad times.
Angela and Brennan discuss Brennan's actions upon learning Booth wasn't dead. This picks up in the middle of their conversation where Brennan is about to finish telling Angela about storming into Booth's bath time.
My biggest goal was to keep these two in character. Given the subject matter it was a difficult task. This one is for pure fun!!
I don't own Bones. I also can't believe I'm going to be out of the country when Season Four premiers in August.
Reviews are neat!!
"…and he stood up, Angela, irrationally agitated about how he took a bullet for me and that should prove how much he trusts me and excuse his lack of…"
"Wait a minute. He stood up? Like the full Monty?"
"Ange, I don't know what that means. So then I left. But not before telling him that I found his lack of Puritan modesty very refreshing."
"I'm sure you did Sweetie," Angela stated with her amused and knowing grin.
"What? No I just meant…Ange stop." Brennan tried to clarify but decided to continue her intended train of thought.
"I guess I shouldn't be this angry. He did include me on the list to be informed. How was he supposed to know that Sweets would decide…"
"Honey," Angela again interrupted. "I have to ask. Was it?"
Was what?
"Was it, you know? I mean does he wear that ridiculous belt buckle for a reason or is he just trying to compensate for his shortcomings?"
Dr. Brennan furrowed her brow in a moment of confusion until she realized what her best friend was referring to. Her flush red cheeks were enough to give Angela the information she wanted.
"Ange, discussing the aesthetics of Booth's reproductive organs isn't relevant to whether or not I should still be angry at him for not telling me he wasn't dead."
Angela gave Brennan a knowing look. She also knew her friend was making her best effort to be platonic and waited for her to continue.
"But from what I saw he would have no problem addressing the needs of any desiring female." Brennan continued trying to hard to sound objective.
"I knew it!" Angela squealed, giggling like her high school best friend had just told her she made out with the quarterback under bleachers.
"Sweetie, what are you going to do about this? I mean let's face it. You've graduated from enough pent up sexual energy to power a small Midwestern town to powering planet Earth and the object of your affection just gave you the full frontal…"
"Ange!! Booth is my partner. He's not an object of my affection. I mean I do care for him but we're partners."
"Yes, you said that, Angela stated sarcastically. Are you telling me that seeing your Knight in shining FBI standard-issue body armor all wet and completely…well... without his armor or underwear for that matter had no effect on you whatsoever?"
Brennan gave Angela a frustrated glance, but the look on her friend's face told her that she wasn't going to get out of answering this question.
"He was wearing that asinine beer hat, but maybe I couldn't deny that there were some natural biological urges that any woman would posses upon seeing a well-structured male, like Booth. His above average reproductive organs are certainly appeasing to a woman's naturally occurring sex drive. Sometimes maybe I am sexually attracted to him, but it's a natural occurrence for the survival of the species. The fact that his penis is definitely above average in size means nothing to me. We're part…"
"…partners, Sweetie, I know..."
Angela was completely ready to interrupt her best friend's tired excuses and politely inform her that it was time her and Booth stop dancing around the inevitable. But she never got the chance. A familiar voice from the man standing in the doorway behind Brennan's couch made a sound and cleared his throat.
"Uh-hem…Ladies?"
