While on vacation in the middle of somewhere in Germany I drowned in time and a stunning view of clouds and mountains and fields, occasionally a bird flying over. What I'm trying to say is, I had plenty inspiration. This piece is based -unfortunately- on a true event. Someone did sabotage our car, but -fortunately- nothing serious happened, except waiting three hours in the burning sun for help. However, this gave me time to think of this story. Phew, hope you enjoy.
Set early in the show, imagine Brennan's appearance in the first episode, I thought she looked so gorgeous. Messed a bit with the order of the chapters, please let me know if this works.
EPILOGUE
"You are late," observed the forensic artist and the lab's sunshine Angela Montenegro as she awaited her friends with her arms crossed in front of her chest and the toe of her shoe tapping on the floor.
"Yeah. We had a busy night," Booth replied with a sheepish grin.
"We did," Brennan agreed with a bright smile.
Angela tilted her head to the right.
"You did, right? Want to tell me about it?" Actually she couldn't wait to interrogate them seperately. Angela had been silently, well, not always 'silently' cheering them on. Booth was a really great guy and good for her best friend, she could tell. They were already her favourite non-couple.
"Well, first we-" Brennan started to tell her, but was quickly interrupted by her partner.
"Naw. We have work to do now. Maybe we'll fill you in later," Booth grinned mischievously as he softly grabbed Brennan's upper arm and guided her away.
"Right. I'll just find out the details myself, then," Angela sighed and accepted the fact that in spite of her efforts to bring them together she would be left out of the relationship completely.
"I want details, Temperance Brennan!" she called after their retreating forms.
Because that didn't mean that she wouldn't at least try to manipulate her friend into giving her regular updates.
"Why couldn't I tell Angela about what happened? She's my best friend, Booth, I tell her everything," Brennan said in a serious voice.
Mental note to self: even Bones shares everything with other females.
"Because we have work to do, like I told Angela," Booth replied casually.
"Oh... You're embarrassed because I'm the one who saved us and not you. Is that it, Booth?" Brennan grinned broadly and tried to catch his gaze as they were walking.
"What? No! Of course not, why would you think that?" Booth frowned as if she'd just asked a completely ridiculous question.
"Well, considering you're FBI and I'm a forensic anthropologist-" she started to explain.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Booth hushed her. "And then something about alpha male tendencies, right?"
"What, are you a mind reader now?" Brennan laughed.
"I could guess your weight," he challenged.
"You could, but you'd lose a tooth," she replied simply.
"Whohoo, trust me, I believe you," he said defensively and put his hands up.
"You should!" Brennan agreed and slapped her partner playfully on the shoulder.
