Party

Bones frowned, frustrated, and examined his roughened, blistered hands.

"Why do your hands show signs of hard labour? These blisters are similar to those you would get while using a shovel.."

"No, Bones," he grinned

"I didn't bury anyone, I was helping Parker on 'Garden day', I was trying to impress his teacher."

"Good to see you are finally getting into a sexual relationship."

"BONES," he spluttered "The teacher is male and gay. I wanted to show that single parents can still be good parents,"

"Check out my muscles, too, I dug about a tonne more dirt than the other parents," he grinned

"look… Bones, you're not even looking."

"You have amazing musculature, Booth, as well as perfectly symmetrical bone structure, I don't need to look. Remember, I saw you naked."

Bones replied, not even raising her head from her latest pile of paperwork. Booth made a sound much like a strangled cat.

"Do you have to always bring that up, I didn't ask for it!"

"Its perfectly all right to be naked, Booth," she retorted hotly "We were born with no clothing and no shame, it's a combination of environmental factors introduced by-" Angela chose that moment to burst in.

"Hey Sweetie! And Mr. Muscle too! I wanted to invite you two to dinner tonight at Hodgin's, unless of course you already have some thing planned?" Angela questioned, waggling her eyebrows suggestively.

"Will Sweets be there too?" Questioned Booth, avoiding thinking about her question, although he already knew the answer.

"Yep, he walked in on Hodgins inviting Cam, and you know how it goes…" She trailed off, still grinning.

"Sure, I'll be there." Agreed Booth. Since when had he ever turned down an offer for free food and being with Brennan all night.

Bones seemed to have similar ideas.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for anything, Angela." She smiled.

"Awesome! I have some incredibly fun stuff planned, just you wait! Ohhh This'll be so fun!" Squealed Angela, tearing out of the room.

"She seems almost unusually happy…" Bone's azure eyes asked the unspoken question.

"This is Angela." he pointed out unnecessarily.

"Although that is an unclear way to say it, I think I understand your inference.." She replied solemnly, eyes wide and serious. Booth chuckled warmly.

"See you tonight, Tempy."
