Okay :D so this is a NEW Bones story. Based off Dear John. I've never seen the movie (its it out yet..?) Or read the book. But I like the idea of it. I have no idea how it ends, either. So I hope I don't make it the same /:. So this first chapter is a prelude.. And then I'll get into the whole story
*
Booth woke up on Monday, dreading having to break it to Bones that he was going to Iraq. He wiped the sleep from his eyes, and went to the shower, hoping to relax himself. However, the more time he spent in the shower, the more anxious he got. As the clock ticked, he realized he was wasting time. He would be leaving in six days. Six more days with his Bones. He had no idea what would happen over there, so he wanted to make their six days count. And he would damn well make sure of it. Hopping out of the shower and drying off quickly, he got dressed and drove to the Jeffersonian, picking up coffee on the way.
"Hiya, Bones!" Booth greeted cheerfully.
"Hi, Booth."
"I got you some coffee." He told her, holding the cup out to her.
"Thanks. Do we have a case?" Brennan asked, shuffling through a file on her desk.
"Uhm, no..."
"Then may I ask why you're here?" Brennan pressed, wanting to continue with her work. "I haven't got all day."
"Uh, sure Bones. I have to tell you something.."
"What is it, Booth?" Brennan asked, getting annoyed. Didn't he understand that she was busy? She looked up.
"Well Bones you seem annoyed so I'm just going to tell you. I'm leaving for Iraq in six days." Booth braced himself for the answer. He saw something flash across her eyes. Fear? Worry? But she instantly built up her walls again.
"What do you mean Booth?" She asked, shocked.
"I'm going to Iraq. To fight in the war."
"Booth... You promised you would never betray me. And that you'd never leave me."
"I-I know Bones. I promise I won't leave you. I'll be back."
"But what if you don't come back?! I've already had to experience your death once."
"Aw, c'mon Bones. I'm a fighter. I've lived through a war once. I can do it again."
"What if you don't?" Brennan asked almost inaudibly. A single tear rolled down her cheek.
Booth stepped forward and wiped her tear with his thumb. "Hey Bones, look at me."
"Yeah?" She asked hesitantly,raising her head. She took a deep breath and attempted to remain composure.
"How about we go to dinner tonight? Like, on a date?" Booth suggested, hoping she wouldn't decline.
"Well, I suppose that would be nice." Brennan said with a smile.
"Alright. Is seven okay? I'll pick you up."
"Yeah. Sevens great." Brennan replied, happy that he had finally asked her out.
After worrying about what they would do tonight, she decided it would be best to tell Angela. She walked to Angela's office and shut the door.
"Hey Bren what's up?" Angela asked, working on the facial markers of a skull.
"Booth and I have a date tonight." Brennan stated. Angela squealed, the expected reaction from her.
"Oh my god Bren!! FINALLY! I have been trying to set you guys up for like, ever!"
"Ange, I have only known Booth for six years. It's hardly forever."
"I know, sweetie. Figure of speech. So why did you guys wait until now to finally go out?"
Brennan took a deep breath. "Booth is going to Iraq."
"WHAT?! When is he going?!" Angela yelled. Brennan took another deep breath, trying to remain calm.
"He's leaving in six days.." She said softly.
"Aw Bren I'm sorry." Angela said, stepping up and hugging her friend. "Let's go shopping to look for something for you to wear!"
"I don't know about that Angela. You know how much I hate shopping..." Brennan almost cringed at the word itself.
"Nu-uh Bren. You and I are going shopping. Tonight is your first date with g-man and you need to look hot." Before Brennan could protest, she was being pushed out the door by Angela. She pulled her into Cams office and explained that they had to leave work early. First they went to little boutiques around the Jeffersonian, and then headed to the mall. After hours of searching to no avail, they finally found the one. It was strapless, went a little bit past the knee, and was a dark blue that her eyes pop. They bought matching blue pumps and Angela was more than satisfied with the outcome.
"Bren, you are going to make him speechless." Angela insisted on doing Brennans hair and make up, as if it was prom.
"Angela, don't you think this is a little much for one date?" Brennan asked. Angela gasped and then responded.
"This isn't just a date, Brennan. This is your first date with Booth, we've gotta make it rememberable." she said while applying smoky eye make up. She curled Brennans hair so that it framed her face and squealed when she saw the result. "Bren you look gorgeous!"
"Thank you, Ange." Brennan replied, hugging her friend. "Well, it's six-thirty, Booth should be here soon. Thanks again, for everything."
"Aw Bren, it was no problem. Thats what best friends are for, right?" Angela replied, smiling at her friend. "Good luck!" She yelled before closing the door. Brennan did a once-over in the mirror to make sure she looked ok. When she was ready, it was only five minutes later. She decided to call Booth to see if he was ready, too. She couldn't wait another twenty-five minutes.
"Booth."
"Uh, hi Booth its Brennan."
"Hey Bones! What's up?"
"Well I am ready for our date and I was wondering if you were too?"
"Uh, yeah I actually am. How about I pick you up and we can see if we can move our reservation?"
"Sounds great Booth, see you soon!" Brennan replied, eagerly hanging up the phone and waiting for Booth to arrive. Ten minutes later, she heard a knock on the door. Brennan grabbed her small blue clutch and walked to the door.
"Hi Bones! Wow you look... amazing." Booth said.
