One day can be completely different then the next. In special agent Seeley Booth's case, his next day is beyond completely different. But before we get to the interesting mystery that had befallen on Booth, I should explain a few things about him.

As mentioned before, he was a special agent of the FBI who was very well respected and possibly one of the Deputy Directors best agents. He was a ranger before he became an FBI agent. Booth has one son named Parker but unfortunately, Parkers parents are not together. Booth once proposed to Rebecca while they were waiting for the pregnancy test to process but she had turned him down thinking that he was only trying to do the right thing and that love had nothing to do with it. Now most would say poor Booth but the people who actually met his partner Dr. Brennan would say that it was fate that caused Rebecca to deny his proposal and fate that brought the two partners together. Dr. Temperance Brennan was a forensic anthropologist who worked at the Jeffersonian Institute. She identifies human remains and as of four years ago, she began crime fighting on the side as well as book writing. She was a crime fighting forensic anthropologist slash author. Although she denies that she bases the characters of her books on real people she works with, they all maintain to believe that she did. I mean a book of a forensic anthropologist who works close with an FBI agent? Come on, she may as well just have used their names.

Booth and Brennan met four years ago and although it wasn't the best way to meet (started with her being taken into custody by airport security and him coming to pick her up) it has rapidly grown into something much more meaningful, important and magical. Over the past four years, they bickered, had many disagreements, but it was all made up by the laughter and meaningful moments the two shared. The simple things are what got them closer as well such as a plastic pig named Jasper (long story short, she dreamed of a pet pig named Jasper so he got her a plastic pig) They have watched each other date different people while both secretly wishing that one day they would be the next person they go on a date with.

So back on track, Booth had been raised by a father who drank and a mother and brother who he aimed to protect when his father went into his drunk outbursts. So basically, he had a rough life. Not only did he but his partner and not to mention the love of his life did as well. Her parents and brother left her when she was 15 years old forcing her into foster care. She was put with rare good parents and a lot of bad parents. Some tried to abuse her, some tried to make her do things that she had no intention of doing and others would isolate her for doing simple things like breaking a dish. Booth recalled her telling him a story of when she was doing the dishes and one slipped out of her hand and her foster parents locked her in a trunk for two days. He remembered that perfectly because that was one of the many times he wanted to kill the person who hurt her.

Special agent Seeley Booth got home had a shower and went to bed. Little did he know that when he awoke he would be very confused.

He heard an alarm clock going off and he slammed his hand down on the snooze button. That's when his door opened and he heard a familiar voice.

"Honey! Time to get up!" He looked up to see his mother.

"Mom?"

"Yes honey, its mom. Now get up."

He was confused, bewildered and not mention a little creeped out. He got out of bed and walked into the bathroom thinking about the reasons why his mom was here but nothing came to mind. He then looked into the mirror and almost passed out with shock. There, staring back at him but young 17-18 year old Seeley Booth. Then he heard a knock and Jared walked in.

"Hey, I was wondering if I could borrow some cologne."

"Uh…sure?"

"Thanks bro."

Jared sprayed himself sort of heavily and walked out. Booth decided that maybe he should just go along and see what happened. I mean what could it hurt? And really, what other alternative did he have?

He ate breakfast awkwardly with his parents and younger brother and then left for school. He parked and he and Jared got out. They walked into the school and the sight that instantly gathered Booth's attention was the group of kids that were gathered around a bunch of lockers. He walked over and the sight shocked him. He knew about this memory but had never actually lived it. His partner, Temperance Brennan told him about a childhood memory she had but Booth had never actually been there. Now here it was.

There taped to a locker was a brainy smurf and a note saying merry Christmas.

"Whose locker?" Booth asked leaning over to Jared.

"New girl. Just moved here about a week ago. Names Temperance Brennan or something."
Booths jaw dropped.

It dropped even further as he saw a not only was she a younger Brennan but still the most beautiful girl he had ever seen trying to push through the crowd.

"Excuse me." She would say but no one would move. Then she came up to Booth and said,

"Excuse me. Please?" He stepped aside, "Thank you." He nodded. She reached her locker and gasped. She ripped the note off her locker, read it and then grabbed the smurf off of her locked and pushed through the crowd again. She threw them both in the garbage and walked up to a guy who was laughing. Booth assumed that this was the guy she had told him about, the one who did the prank and who was her secret Santa. His laughter died down but only a little when she walked up.

She slapped him, "That is for humiliating me," then she punched him and he fell over, "and that's for getting me the wrong smurf!" She walked away and Booth grinned.

He then ran after her.
