Chapter One: Australia?
Dr. Temperance Brennan.
"Australia? Booth, really?" I said in an annoyed tone as I looked back up from the plane tickets Booth had handed me, accompanied by a happy birthday.
"Come on, Bones, It'll be fun." Booth said, flashing me his charm smile.
"You know that face doesn't work on me, Booth." I told him.
"What face? I wasn't pulling any face." He said innocently.
"I don't celebrate my birthday, Booth, you know that." I said as I made my way to my office.
"Come on, a month away from work is just what you need, and when I say work I don't just mean The Jeffersonian, I mean altogether."
"Why did you buy these?" I said waving the envelope containing the tickets in his face.
"It wasn't just me. Zack, Angela, Hodgins, Cam & me all put towards it, they all agreed you needed to get away from work."
"Agreed with whom?" I swirled around; my face was barely an inch away from his.
"Angela." Booth said quietly.
"Humph." I turned around and opened my office door and sat at my desk "I'm not going." I said in a 'and that's final' tone.
"Bones..." Booth said in a winy voice.
"Why Australia? And why are you going? Did you really think I'd come with you? Do I even get a say in this?" I said in a slightly louder voice.
"Australia, because Angela said so. I'm going because I was forced. Yes, I think you will with enough convincing. And, no, you don't get a say in this." Booth answered calmly.
"Why were you forced?"
"I thought Angela was going to go with you, but she gave me the 'been there done that' line, and I think she is way too focused on getting us together. Plus, it's your birthday present; you can't decline a birthday present."
"You want to make a bet?" I asked him.
"Hey sweetie." Angela said as she opened the door to my office "I see you got your present."
"I'm not going." I said to her.
"Booth, go outside for a minute." Angela told Booth, he rolled his eyes and went outside my office, leaning on the glass wall next to the door of my office.
"Bren, Hon." Angela started "You have to get away from here, just a month, that's all I'm asking. I'm not trying to get rid of you or anything like that, but you really need a break, you have bags under
your eyes because you are here all day then you sleep for 3 hours and come back. You need to go away, do nothing, a real vacation. Not doing the same thing you do here somewhere else."
"Why Booth? Why can't you come with me? If you don't want me to work why are you sending me with my work partner?" I asked her.
"Because I have had my fair share of vacations, I don't think Booth has had a vacation for a while either. Plus, I've already been there; it would just be greedy of me to go again when someone else has the chance. It's a great chance for you two to get together as well." Angela laughed "And if we sent you alone you would find something un-holiday-like to do."
"Why Australia?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, it's a really nice place and there are so many hotties if you go near the beach, which you are." Angela smiled at me, I grimaced at her "Please go, I promise everything will be under control here."
"Angela..."
"Please? For me? Jus t go on a vacation for once. It's just a month."
"Okay, okay, I'll go." Angela is way to convincing for her own good. Angela gave me a hug.
"You're leaving on the 1st of July. So you have a week for packing and all the other travel things."
"Okay, okay." I said. Angela walked out of my office, said something to Booth and walked away looking proud of herself. I sat down on the couch in my office, Booth came in.
"What does she say to you all the time?" Booth asked gesturing in the direction Angela was walking.
"I don't know." I said to him "I can't believe you are doing this to me."
"It's not all that bad." Booth said as he sat down next to me.
"It is all that bad." I said to him "You and Angela are forcing me to go on a vacation."
"What's so bad about that?" Booth asked me.
"Never mind." I said to him "What about Parker? You won't see him for a month."
"I know. I'll just have to call a lot." Booth said.
"I guess." I said "Where in Australia are we going anyway?"
"Um." Booth took a piece of paper out of his pocket and looked at it "One week in Sydney, a week in Melbourne, a week at the Gold Coast then a week at the Sunshine Coast." He read "Angela organised."
"Coast. Hah, trust Angel." I smiled.
"Yeah." Booth smiled to. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all. What am I thinking? I was being forced to go to another country, with Booth.
