Disclaimer: I don't own them. I wish I owned them but I don't.

A/N:I know I haven't written anything in a while but I finally got another plot bunny. I should probably get sick more often because it seems that that is when I write the most.

Seeley Booth groaned as he tried to lug the heavy suitcases up the stairs. His partner Temperance Brennan turned around and sighed.

"Booth, I am perfectly capable of carrying my own suitcase. Our room is on the sixth floor and the elevator is out."

"Bones, it is fine. I got it. We have to get up early tomorrow to get down to the crime scene and I don't want you to be tired."

"Carrying a suitcase up six flights of stairs isn't going to tire me out Booth. And anyways- you don't need to be tired. Honestly Booth you can be so stubborn sometimes. You and your alpha-

"Bones I swear if you say one thing about my alpha male tendencies while I am trying to climb up these I will through something at you."

"Good, how about my suitcase? Then maybe you wouldn't be so touchy"

I am not touchy"

You are touchy"

I am not touchy Bones. I am tired. It was a six-hour drive from DC and now we are going to have to stay in the huge hotel. I just don't think we should be spending tax dollars money that way..."

"Booth- I thought you were over letting me use my allowance to get us the hotel, even if Angela was the one who actually did the bookings. And besides, if you had let me drive half of the way like I asked then maybe you wouldn't be so tired."

"Bones, seriously. Not now. Let's just get up to the room and go to sleep."

"Ok, fine. Somebody woke on the wrong side of his head this morning."

"It's bed Bones not- Oh never mind. Here is the room. Can you pull out the key?"

"Yeah sure." Brennan reached into the pocket of her jeans and pulled out the little card key they gave her at the front desk. She slid it through the reader on the door and waited for the little green light to pop on. It didn't.

"Well that's weird," Booth said, "Did you do it right?"

"Yes I did it right. I am not an imbecile Booth." She slid the key through he slot again and this time only got a light. Unfortunately it was red. She turned the card around and tried it the other way. No success. Booth dropped the suitcases in the hallway and let out a tiny sigh of relief. Hey held his hand out.

"Here, Bones. Let me try."

"OK Booth. You are obviously the card key master. Here you go!" She handed over the card key and he swiped it through the key reader. The red light flashed again. Brennan couldn't resist a little smirk. Booth frowned.

"That's weird. Bones do you have your cell phone? Can you call down to the front desk?" She pulled out her phone.

"Sorry Booth. I don't have any service. I guess we have to go back down to the front desk." And with that she grabbed her suitcase and headed back to the stairwell.

"Bones! Bones! Come back here! There is no way I am going back down those stairs" But she was already in the stairwell by the time he had said her name twice. Booth headed back down the stairs. He had to run down the stairs and still only caught up to her at this entrance to the lobby. When Brennan saw Booth all red in the face and out of breath she cracked up.

"Come one Booth. I thought you were a big strong man. You can't handle a few flights of stairs?"

"You know what Bones?"

"What?"

"No it's a rhetorical question."

"Well why did you ask if you didn't want to know the answer. That is just pointless. Come on. I want to go get this room thing straightened out so we can go to be. It is already 10:30."

A/N 2: Well there is the beginning. Anyone interested? If so- Reviews Equal candy! And chocolate! And… Booth! Or Brennan, or Hodgins, or Angela, or Zach, whatever your preference is… please R R
