READ AND REVIEW!
Melanie Booth heard her mother calling her from downstairs. She had been enjoying her dream but now she was awake. The sun was streaming through her windows; Melanie squinted under the glare, her mother's voice drifted up to her.
Her mother was the famous anthropologist Temperance Brennan, while her father was an FBI agent named Seely Booth.
"Mel, time to get up." she heard her mother yell. Melanie groaned and pulled the blankets up around her and closed her eyes.
"MELANIE ANNE BOOTH!" Mel's mother yelled.
'Full and middle named... damn!' Mel thought as she got out of bed.
When she entered the kitchen she found her dad sitting at the breakfast table reading the newspaper, while her mother leant over his should to read the same article. Her mother looked up at her entrance.
"Good morning missy." She said. Mel scrunched up her face while her mother just laughed at her. Her father looked up at her and smiled.
"Morning Mel." He said. Mel nodded at them both. She stood there in her pyjamas, which were a pair of black tights and a white singlet top.
"Guys can I get my belly button pierced?" Mel asked walking to the fridge. She opened it and looked inside.
"What?" her mother and father asked.
"Can I get my belly button pierced?" Mel asked again. Her parent said nothing so Mel continued.
"Jessa got hers done last week and it looks really good." She said.
"Mel I don't think you should get your belly button pierced." Her mother said.
"Why not?" Mel asked.
"Because I really don't think you'd want to do that." Her mother said.
"But I do." Mel said. "Daddy?" Mel turned to her father.
"Um I agree with our mother on this one." Her father said.
"Why?" Mel asked.
"Because there's the risk of infection, people die from infections you know?" her mother said. Mel rolled her eyes.
"Mum I'll do whatever the piercest says, I'll wash it out and do whatever mum, I'll keep it clean and everything." She argued.
"It's not a good idea. I've seen what can happen." Mel's mother said.
"What can happen?" Mel asked.
"Bones do you want to tell her or will I?" her father asked. Her mother smiled at the nickname.
"Tell me what?" Mel asked.
"Belly button rings and crystal meth don't go together." Her father said.
"You think I'm doing drugs?" Mel exclaimed. Both her mother and father laughed at this.
"No." her mother said still smiling. "When your father and I worked together a long time ago there was this case. Well your Auntie Ange had taken me out to a club and somehow we found this guy in the wall and we called Booth."
"I'm sorry somehow you found the guy? Bones you kicked a guy into the wall." Mel's father pointed out.
"So he tried to fight me, no big deal." Mel's mother said.
"I know, I like that you can protect yourself." Booth said.
"But what about when you protect me?" Mel's mother asked smiling.
"Guys! Hello! First of all stop that shameless flirting." Mel said.
"Aw look now you're embarrassed us." Booth said.
"Wow you can embarrass the shameless?" Mel joked. "Also what does the guy in the wall have to do with me and my belly button piercing?"
"Your non existent belly button piercing." Her mother pointed out. Mel rolled her eyes.
"So?" she said. "Keep telling the story."
"Well all we found was a belly button ring on the ground that had been ripped out of her stomach. It was disgusting."
"Wait a minute you play with dead people's bones all day and you couldn't handle that?" Mel asked smiling.
"Your mother's right it really was gross." Booth said with a queasy look on his face.
"Woah! You shoot people and you couldn't handle it either?" Mel asked.
"Hey that is one of the most horrible things you can see in your life. A belly button ring with all the skin and blood around it outside of a person's stomach." Her dad defended himself.
"So that's a no?" Mel asked. Both Temperance and Seely nodded.
"That's a firm no on this one kiddo." Her dad said.
"Why?"
"Why?" her dad said. "We just explained it."
"Just because you guys couldn't handle doesn't mean I wouldn't be able to." Mel retorted.
"Bones do we still have the case photos on that one?" her father asked her mother. Her mother nodded.
"I think so." She said. "I'll ring Ange and ask her to get them and if they're still there we'll go down."
"Good idea." Her dad said going back to reading his paper.
