A/N: Here we go, the longer story I promised. Sorry it took so long, I havent had time to write. The title actually belongs to a song by Keith Urban. It fits so much better than anything I thought of. Just keep in mind, if you sue me, I can't write you any more fics. ;)
Disclaimer: I don't one any of these wonderfull characters or any other aspect of this show. Seriously, do you think it would be on break this long if I did?

Angela Montenegro sleepily walked out of the Jeffersoian Medico-Legal Lab breakroom, coffee in hand. 7:00 am. She still thought it was too early to be awake. Oh well, last day before fall break. One week to sleep in all she wanted.
"Hey Zack," she smiled at Brennan's latest grad student. At age 24, he still looked like he was 18. He was a genious though, and he looked even smarter with his lab coat and carrying one of the white boxes from bone storage; or limbo, as he liked to call it.
"Hey, Angela. Dr. Brennan told me if I saw you to tell you shes ready for a face."
"Ok, thanks I'll go get it to her."
She left him to lay the bones out on a light table and went to her office. Angela's heart fluttered a little as she passed the platform of a certain curly-haired entomologist. She hadn't seen him all morning and there was no telling what he was up to. A splash of yellow caught her eye and she saw a sprig of goldenrod sitting on his desk. He kept it there recently and seeing it now reminded her how, in an odd way, he seemed different when it was around. Sometimes he walked around with it, wouldn't put it down. Oh well, she could find out later what's been on his mind lately. She walked to her computer, and jigled her mouse to remove the screen saver and saw a minimized word document. She restored to program and read the short message.
Angela,
You and me, mystrey trip this week Don't bother asking where cuz I won't tell you. Pack for a week, don't bring nice clothes.
-Hodgins
Angela smiled and noted his creative way of avoiding sending her a lame e-mail. No wonder she hadn't seen him earlier. She printed out the face and took it to Brennan's office.
"Hey sweetie, here's your face."
Brennan looked up from her computer and took the paper from Angela.
"Looks good Ange, we can run it through the database in a little while."
"The hair and complexion seem a little off to me so I can play around with it if you want me to."
"Well, it would make more sense to wait but if you don't have anything to do I guess it wont hurt."
"Ok well, I'll just be around if you need me."
She turned and brushed past Hodgins on her exit. He wore the normal smile he used when he looked at her but there was a conspiritorial gleam in his startling blue eyes.
"You got it," she told him, "what time?"
"Not sure yet, just be ready by 7:00 tonight."
"k."
Angela went back to her office. Today would never go by fast enough.

A/N 2: I'm leaving tomarrow to go to Arizona. I'll be gone for a week. This chapter was short but I wanted to leave you all with something before I left. Chapters 2 and 3 are already done and I'll probably be able to get chapter 4 done on the flight over there. Mabye 5 but that depends on my inspiration. I'll get chapter 2 up soon as I get back though.
