The Most Amazing Woman
A Bones Fanfic
By Missmissa85
A/N: Bones belongs to Kathy Reichs and Hart Hanson, I, unfortunately, have nothing to do with it. This is an introspective from Booth's point of view during the final moments of the episode, "The Wannabe in the Weeds". I was playing around with tenses, so please tell me if I've messed any of it up. Enjoy.
As she stands up there singing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" at the top of her lungs, I realize something; Bones is the most amazing woman on the planet. Okay, okay, maybe that's a little over the top, but she has to be close. I mean, she's brilliant, obviously, but she's also beautiful. She's not a supermodel or anything, but there's something distinctly alluring about the way her features fit together on her face. She's also a bestselling author, which she's reminded me about a couple of times over the last week. And now she's singing, well I might add. Certainly better than any of the other yokels I've heard in this joint.
I hear my first name called angrily. I turn and see Pam Noonan. She has a revolver and she's aiming it at my partner. My partner. Stand up. Draw your weapon. Stand up. Draw your weapon, is the only thought that passes through my brain. So I stand up and reach for my gun. And then I only feel pain. I forgot what being shot felt like. I stand there, unable to move. My brain is still working, but my body isn't. I fall back and look into Bones' shocked and frightened eyes and all I can think is, Fat Pam is going to shoot you! But then she picks up my discarded weapon and kills the crazy woman before any more damage can be done, although my blood all over the floor of this restaurant is damage enough, if you ask me.
I feel myself fading as Bones tries to stop the bleeding with her bare hands. She's pleading with me. She's telling me I'll get through this. She's begging me to stay with her. The most amazing woman on the planet is begging me to stay alive, and I know I can't refuse her request.
