My first attempt at a bones fanfic- theres crime, drama, and some b/b moments! Let me know what u think. Also, for those who have already read it before, I changed the format from script to story, so i could add more details and it could paint a better picture... i hope!

R&R please :D


Chapter One:

"Whoa, Bones… where are you going?" asked Booth as he watched his partner dash around the office grabbing her papers and belongings. "Bones! Slow your horses! What's up?" he asked again.

"I don't know what that means, Booth" she replied "but I'm running kind of late for an interview with one of the grad students."

"Ahh... another one of those squints eh?"

"Yes, another of one those squints" replied Brennan with a dismal expression, and she accompanied Booth on the couch.

"Your not going to hire this one either Bones are you? Or the next one, or the one after that"

"Well that's quite an assumption booth. Just because the probability has been against my liking… I'm only trying to find the best replacement for the lab." Brennan sighed with frustration.

Booth put his arms around his partner and hugged her, trying to sooth her pain.

"I know it's not easy Bones- for you, for us, for the whole team- but we'll get through it. Like I said, everything happens eventually." He can see the pain in her eyes. Every time she has another one of these interviews, her hopes sink more.

"Zack… you know, he was one of a kind" she tired to explain.

"I Know Bones, I know."

"He was a genius Booth, an intelligent scientist who… who got manipulated by a dominate evil power and... and was defeted."

Booth said nothing. He just held her closely and listened.

"So…"he finally said after a few moments of blissful silence, "you think this will be the lucky student?"

Brennan bolted off the sofa like lighting. "Oh my God! The interview! I completely forgot!"

Booth put his goofy grin on, and said, "first of all, you don't believe in God… and second…" he paused, "I guess you were just too cozy with me" he teased. His grin grew bigger as he watched his partner's eyes widen and cheeks turn a pinkish glow.

"I... What? No… Goodbye Booth."

She fumbled out of the room, leaving a chuckling Booth and a slight smile on her face.
