A/N: So this is my first story, and it's going to be a crossover with a bunch of shows…however, it's not going to have all of the characters from each show in it.
It's going to be Bones, Criminal Minds, Grey's Anatomy, Glee, Rizzoli and Isles, NCIS, Private Practice, and Castle.
This story is total AU. Some characters may be OOC in areas and possibly even quite a bit of the time. It will just depend on how I feel like writing them. I'm also not the greatest writer on the planet, so this may totally suck, but hey, at least I'm trying.
Also, timelines will be skewed a bit.
Ummm… I think that's all.
Disclaimer: If I owned any of these shows, all of my ships would be doing what bunnies do (if you know what I mean) and all of the characters I hate would be annihilated in one way or another.
"Temperance, I would like you to meet David Rossi," Brennan's case worker, Julia Bronson, said as indicated with her hand to where a man, who appeared to be somewhere between mid twenties and thirties years old, stood with a smile.
"Hello, I'm going to be your new foster parent… if that's alright with you that is," he said extending his hand toward Brennan with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Rossi, that's not really how we do it here. She is a ward of the state and doesn't really get a choice as to in whose home she is placed," Julia said, looking at him as if he had lost his mind.
"While that may be true for you, I find it is best if you ask their opinion and not talk about them as if they are not present. Also, I believe it would be better suited for her if she felt comfortable enough around me to answer me or she won't be very happy living with me and my daughter. Now that we've cleared that up," he said Julia rolled her eyes at him and scoffed," Temperance, how would you like to come live with me and my daughter?"
"I, uh…o-okay." She wasn't sure what to make of him. At least he already seemed nicer than any of the other families she had to live with thus far.
"Well, you'll need to sign these papers, and then I will take them over to the judge, and once he signs off on them, I will give you a call and schedule a home visit for later this week," Julia said, handing him a pen and the papers. Once they were signed, he handed the papers back to her and told Brennan to grab her things and to follow him.
She obliged and followed him out of the building and to his car.
"Go on, get in," he urged with a smile. Once she was in and buckled, he turned to her. "It's just about three, and since you were out of school today and I was off work for this," he said with a motion between the two of them, "we have to pick up my daughter from her school."
Brennan nodded, wondering if his daughter would think she was barging in on her home.
"How old is she, if you don't mind me asking," she asked shyly.
"She's 17. She just started her senior year."
"Oh," she said. Okay, so she's a teenager. She probably won't think I'm coming in and ruining her home…but this could also be a bad thing. She could be another one of those catty bitches that I have to deal with on a daily basis…
"She isn't biologically mine. I foster her as well. She is really very sweet. " He said. She nodded in acknowledgement. My face must have been some sort of indicator as to what I was thinking.
"She is quite excited to meet you. When she found out I was thinking of fostering again, she was ecstatic. Where do you go to school?" he asked as he pulled over in front of Brennan's school just as the bell rang.
"Here actually."
"What a coincidence. I teach here as well, you might have heard of me. I'm the crazy senior English teacher."
"I thought you looked familiar," she said with a smile on her face. She turned her head at the sound of laughing and saw something that made her blood run cold. Charlotte King, the resident head bitch of the sophomore class was climbing into the car. Charlotte had made her life hell since the beginning of freshman year.
"Hey Dave…," Charlotte said as she shut her door. Brennan buried her face in my hands.
"Uh…Pen…Why is Brennan in your car?" At that her head snapped up and turned to see Penelope Garcia getting in the car followed by a blonde Brennan didn't recognize.
"Uh…I'm not sure…hey dad." Penelope said, followed by the blonde girl saying, "Hey Dave, you don't mind if I come over, right?"
"Of course I don't mind, JJ. You're always welcome at the house, you know that."
JJ looked at her shoes shyly and responded with "Thanks."
"Okay girls, I would like you to meet Temperance. If all goes as planned she's going to be my new daughter and Pen's new sister." Brennan looked at the girls hesitantly. She was pleased to see that Penelope had a wide grin on her face. She was also oddly pleased to hear Dave refer to her as his family.
"That's awesome! You know, you look really familiar," Pen said tilting her head trying to figure out why Brennan looked familiar.
"She should Pen, She's that genius girl in my homeroom," Charlotte whispered.
"Oh! You're that Temperance. Okay. Uh…you know, Temperance is kind of long. Is there anything else I can call you?"
"You can call me Tempe, or Brennan. Whichever you prefer," I said, unsure of how she knew me.
"I think I'll call you Brennan for now," she said with a smile.
"So Brennan, What grade are you in?" JJ asked.
"I'm a sophomore. Charlotte is actually in a majority of my classes."
"Cool," she said unsure of what to talk about, so she turned to her friends in the backseat, trying desperately to think about something other than her attraction for her best friend's father.
After about ten minutes of silence in the front seat and a bunch of giggling and talking from the back, they pulled up in front of the house.
"Alright everybody out. Temperance, when we get inside, you can pick which room you want to be yours. There are three rooms to choose from. One downstairs, and two up. You choose," Dave said as he exited the car. Pen, JJ, and Charlotte had already gone inside.
Walking through the door, Brennan glanced around and saw the house was absolutely beautiful. The walls were a very pretty deep burgundy and the floors were hard wood. The walls in the den were wooden and accented small with lights in every few boards.
She walked up the stairs and saw that there were to corridors. One branching from each side of the stairs, and a giant bay window right as you walked off the stairs.
"If you go to the left, three doors down on your right, there is a room with an en suite. I'm down that way too, last door on the left. Dad's down the right hall," Pen said, "it really is better that way I think. Here, I'll show you."
"Okay, thanks," Brennan said with a small smile and let herself be led down the hall.
"Here's the room that could be yours."
The room was amazing. It was painted white with red stripes and the furniture was black. The room had a Parisian theme, with pictures of the Eiffel Tower hanging above the headboard of the bed.
"The bathroom is right through there, it also opens into the hall."
Brennan nodded in response.
"Well, I'll let you get settled. And I'm really sorry about Charlotte acting like such a bitch earlier. And, I know she acts like that towards you at school too. Just know that it isn't just you she acts like that toward. She does that to everyone until you get to know her. She really is a very sweet person, she was just raised not to show any weakness and the only way she thinks she can do that is by being bitchy and hateful to anyone and everyone."
"It's not a problem," Brennan said, seemingly a little nervous.
"Yes it is, and I have been trying to get her to stop. But anyway, she should be leaving within the hour, she just didn't want to stay after school and wait for Cooper to get out of football practice so they could hang out."
"Who's Cooper?"
"Cooper Freedman?"
"Sorry. I don't know who that is."
"Have you been living under a rock?"
"No. It would be near impossible for a human to live under a rock"
"Wow…uh…I wasn't being literal. Cooper Freedman is a senior football player and Charlotte's boyfriend."
"Oh, okay"
"JJ is probably staying the night tonight. She is over here a lot because her family is kind of insane…and crazy hard on her. So after Charlotte leaves, JJ and I will be in here and we can all hang. Have fun getting all situated and junk," she said as she walked out the door.
I like her. I like Dave too. Hopefully this house works out better than the last.
Brennan looked around the room, sighed, and got to work unpacking her things.
A/N: Okay, so what did you guys think? Is it ok? I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but I do know that this is a pretty good way for me to not think about all the crap I have to do for school so yay me for finding a good distraction! Anyway, let me know what you think and I'll try to update soon. I will also try to make the next chapters longer...but I'm not making any promises. R&R –Desi!
