It rained so hard that I don't have school today so I am writing a bunch of fics. This is really random and stems from me have a lot of fun with music.
Disclaimer: Not mine except for Katharine.
Spoilers: Wantabee in the Weeds and Pain at Heart
Note: I totally ignore everything after Booths funeral in Pain at Heart.
Booth, Bones, Angela, Hodgens, Camille, Zack, and Katharine (a/n: Katharine is Zack's girlfriend) were all sitting in the bar watching open mike night progress. Some of the singers were better than others, and some weren't good at all. Actually a lot of them weren't very good.
"You should do a song, Bones," Booth told her.
"No way," she replied firmly, "last time I did that it got you shot."
"Come on please," he begged her.
"No," she said folding her arms.
"Okay I wasn't there," Katharine reminded the group, "was she good?"
"Very good," Booth, Angela, and Camille all replied at the same time.
"Dr. Brennan," Katharine said addressing the woman on her right, "If I do a song will you go after me?"
Brennan just looked at her and didn't answer. "Alright," Katharine said, "I will take that as a yes."
"But I didn't actually say any thing," Brennan said confused.
"I don't think she is going to take no for an answer, sweetie," Angela explained gently.
"Nope," Katharine said walking over to the owner of the bar. She talked to him for a few minutes then sat back down. "That's settled," she told them.
"How did you manage to get yourself invited to almost every team outing we have?" Booth asked her.
"I'm special," she replied without missing a beat. Booth rolled his eyes as the current singer ended his song.
Then the announcer called Katharine's name and she went up on the stage.
"Can she actually sing?" Booth asked Zack.
"Why would she be up there if she couldn't?" Zack asked confused.
"I don't know," Booth said a little exasperated. "Would she do to get Bones to cooperate?"
"That is a possibility," Zack admitted.
"If you two were listening you would know the answer to that question," Camille cut across their conversation.
I don't wanna put on my make-up
Just like every girl in a magazine
That's not who I am when I wake up
That's not who I wanna be
There's so much more to me than meets the eye
In this life, I know one thing
"Okay, she can sing," Booth remarked.
"Stop talking and listen," Angela told him.
It doesn't really matter what u wear
Let the people stare
Cause we are who we are who we are who we are
It doesn't really matter what car u drive
It's good to be alive
Yeah, we are who we are who we are who we are
Who we are
Tell me baby, do I look like the real thing
Or would you change the color of my eyes?
Tell me why my television's fillin' me with lies
"She doesn't have a television," Zack remarked.
"How would you know?" Booth started then stopped, "Right."
It doesn't really matter what u wear
Let the people stare
Cause we are who we are who we are who we are
It doesn't really matter what car you drive
It's good to be alive
Yeah we are who we are who we are who we are
Who we are...
There is beauty on the inside
Yeah you're beautiful, alright...
Oh it doesn't really matter what u wear
Let the people stare
Cuz we are who we are who we are who we are
It doesn't really matter what car you drive
It's good to be alive
Yeah, we are who we are who we are who we are...
Doesn't really matter what you wear, let the people stare
It's good to be alive, good to be alive...
Doesn't really matter what car you drive, it's good to be alive
Yeah we are who we are who we are who we are
It's good to be alive, good to be alive
Who we are
The song came to an end and the bar bust into applause. Katharine did an exaggerated bow and left the stage. When she took her seat she threw a grin at Brennan, "Alright it's you turn."
"I didn't agree to," Brennan started to protest, but Camille cut her off.
"This is getting ridiculous," Camille told the group at large, "Angela, Dr. Brennan, come on." Camille got to her feet, quickly followed by Angela, but Brennan remained seated.
"Come on, Sweetie," Angela pleaded, "If you do one song then Booth will do a song."
Booth gave Angela the glare of death, and Camille smirked at him. "Now I would like to see that," Brennan told Angela getting to her feet.
"Can you actually sing?" Angela whisper to Camille.
"No, not really," Camille whispered back.
"This ought to be interesting," Angela remarked.
"Oh yea," Cam agreed.
"What are we going to sing?" Brennan asked the other two.
Cam and Angela looked back and forth trying to thing of a song when Angela caught sight of someone at the front of the stage. "Come here," Katharine hissed to Angela. Angela walked forward and squatted down. "Sing that," Katharine told her handing over three sets of lyrics."
"You are amazing," Angela told her fervently.
"I know," Katharine replied smiling, then returned to her seat.
Angela returned to the other two and handed out the lyrics. "Why did that girl have three sets of lyric," Camille started to ask, "you know what, never mind I don't want to know."
"Let's do this," Angela said as she and Cam took the two side microphones leaving Brennan with the middle one.
I am discouraged
I have a fear
I can hide in a room for a year
The three of them sang together, sounding better than you would expect from two scientists and a sketch artist.
I've got the brains
I've got the guts
I'm a shooter when it comes to my looks
"So true," Hodgens muttered under his breath watching Angela intently.
Then I'm up and down
Then I'm all around
I'm your friend one minute and I'm off in the next
Booth grinned as he remember when Brennan had knocked out the guy attacking him, and then she had turned to Booth and punched him in the face.
I'm up and down
I'm all around
I've got a moody reflex
I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I have the courage to be brave
I can conquer anything
But something's got me trapped inside
Hodgens and Booth exchanged a glance. This song was so perfect for their girls.
I'm like a man
I take a stand
I don't care what anybody thinks
I've got the means
I do the work
I bury all my feelings in the dirt
Booth grinned again but this time it was because the lyric reminded him of Camille. They reminded him of Brennan too, but for some reason they just screamed 'Camille' at him.
Then the tricky part crushes my thin heart
I'm afraid one minute and I lose in the next
The tricky part crushes a delicate spot
I've got a moody reflex
I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I have the courage to be brave
I can conquer anything
But something's got me trapped inside
Oh….
I like me the way I'm made up yeah
I'm not gonna change my way
I like it, I like it
I am only a girl who suffers too
I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I am only a girl who's brave and true
I am only a girl in the world
The song ended and the entire room clapped, but Booth and Hodgens both stood up and were yelling and cheering. The three girls bowed and exited the stage. When they reached where the other four where sitting Hodgens immediately went and hugged Angela. "That was great, Ang," he told her.
"Thanks," she replied smiling.
"Not bad Bones," Booth said with the huge grin that he reserved specially for her.
"I like it better when you don't get shot," she told him.
"Me too," he agreed.
Camille was standing slightly to the side watching the other two being congratulated. "You did well, too Camille," Katharine told her.
"Thank you," Camille replied, then smiled, "I think Booth forgot who's next."
"I didn't," Katharine said handing Camille a sheet of lyrics to look at.
"Where do you keep getting these?" Camille asked her.
"I have sources," Katharine replied with a mysterious smile.
"Alright," Angela told Booth, "It's your turn."
"Whoa," Booth said raising his hands to shoulder height, "I never said I would do it."
"Neither did I," Brennan reminded him.
"I don't have anything to sing," Booth tried to protest.
"Now you do," Katharine said shoving the lyrics into his hand, "Now go."
Booth glared at her. "You are never coming with us ever again," he told her.
"Sure," Katharine told him rolling her eyes, "Now go."
"Fine," Booth told them, "I'm going."
He took the microphone, and then looked down at the lyrics Katharine had given him. His eye narrowed as he glanced from her to Brennan who was currently talking to Angela. Then he began to sing.
Us against the world
Against the world
Us against the world
Against the world
He was singing with his eyes closed so that he could not see the audience, but both Camille and Katharine knew that there was only one person he didn't want to look at.
You and I, we've been at it so long
I still got the strongest fire
You and I, we still know how to talk
Know how to walk that wire
Suddenly his eyes snapped open and he looked straight at Brennan. There eye seemed to connect, and in that connection they shared memories of cases they had worked together.
Sometimes I feel like The world is against me
The sound of your voice, baby
That's what saves me
When we're together I feel so invincible
Booth was now singing to Brennan and only Brennan. No one else in the room mattered.
Cause it's us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don't ever see the day that
I won't catch you when you fall
Cause it's us against the world tonight
Us against the world
Against the world
Katharine was not even sure that Booth still knew that there were other people in the room. Suddenly Katharine felt somebody poke her in the shoulder. She turned to see Angela, who leaned forward and whispered something in Katharine's ear. Katharine nodded once. The two of them slid over to were Bones sat watching Booth, and each of them took one of her arms.
There'll be days
We'll be on different sides but
That doesn't last too long
We find ways to get it on track
And know how to turn back on
Booth finished those lines and looked back to where Brennan had been sitting a minute before but she wasn't there. Suddenly her voice picked up where his had left off.
Sometimes I feel
I can't keep it together
Then you hold me close
And you make it better
When I'm with you
I can feel so unbreakable
He looked at her for a long moment then joined her in singing the chorus.
Cause it's us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don't ever see the day that
I won't catch you when you fall
Cause it's us against the world tonight
We're not gonna break
Cause we both still believe
We know what we've got
And we've got what we need alright
We're doing something right...
Neither one of them were looking at the crowd anymore. For them all time had stopped and the only thing that really existed was each other. Their eyes were locked as they continued to sing.
Cause it's us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don't ever see the day that
I won't catch you when you fall
Cause it's us against the world tonight
Us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don't ever see the day that
I won't catch you when you fall
Us against the world
Yeah it's Us against the world, baby
Us against the world
Tonight
Us against the world
Against the world
Us against the world
The song finished, but this time there was no applause. The entire audience watched in complete silence at the pair looked at each other. Then, almost at the same time, they moved forward and kissed. Then the applause erupted.
Angela squealed with delight and hugged Katharine and then flung herself in to Hodgens arms and kissed him. Zack's jaw had dropped slightly as he watched Booth and Brennan kiss so Katharine leaned over and closed it for him. Camille smiled at the couples around her. Booth and Brennan had finally figured out what everyone else had gotten years ago.
"See that wasn't so bad," Katharine told Booth as he came off the stage.
He glared at her for a moment then looked at Brennan and back to her. "Alright you can come with us next time," he told her.
"Funny how that works," Katharine told Camille smiling.
