Hi everyone, this is my second fan fiction. I've abruptly stopped writing my first one because people were losing interest so I'm not bothering on writing more. Hope you like this one a bit more if don't let me know and let me know what I can do about it.

"Hi sweetie, you got a minute?" Angela asked her best friend as she walked into her office.

"Sure. What's up Ange?" Brennan stopped working on the chapter she was supposed to have finished by the end of the week. She could use a break so why not have a little girlie talk with her best friend.

"Well you know how it's your birthday? Well me and the squints came up with an idea and we really and I mean really want you to go." Angela tried to ease into the subject but could already see the frustration on Brennan's face.

"Ange I already told you I don't want to take time off for my birthday I don't see the point in celebrating my birthday anyway." Brennan has been trying to make Angela understand that she doesn't want to celebrate her birthday because she hasn't since her parents disappeared a mere 15 years ago.

"I know sweetie, but please just hear me out and please, please think about it this could be fun and I'll promise you, you won't be going alone." Angela told Brennan with a grin on her face. "Let's just wait and see what I've got planned for you and your special big FB eye candy hunk of a partner."

"What are you talking about Ange? I don't want to go anywhere for my birthday let alone with some person you got shacked up for me?" Brennan was beginning to get frustrated and needed to take a couple of deep breaths before she could even return to her conversation or more disagreement with Angela.

"Well, see the squints and I have been talking and we really think you could use some time away, you know get away from the lab. Get some well needed rest cuz we all know you stay at the lab to god knows what hour."

When Brennan didn't seem to start to argue with her she continued with the thought that she might have hit a nerve and that Brennan might be considering on taking some times off.

"So, we all got you a ticket to go to Holland. And I know what you're going to say. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in Holland? Or I don't want to go. But sweetie you need the rest and we wanted to do this for you and Cam already said she'll give you 3 weeks off to go on that well deserved holiday."

"I guess I could use some time off. But Ange why Holland? Why not to some nice hot island? And who is this mystery person that is supposed to keep me company?"

"Well sweetie if you must know, Holland because it's a mere 6203 kilometres from here so you don't have any change in getting into work while you're supposed to be on holiday. And you mystery person is not so mysterious. It's you're one and only hunk of an FBI special agent Seeley Booth."

"What!? Ange no why can't you come with me?"

"Because sweetie, I don't have any holidays left remember 2 months ago me and Hodgins went to that little place he owns in New Mexico. And this way you can get your hands on that hunky."

"Ange I don't want to get my hands on Booth, we are just partners and friends. There is no way that anything will happen between us. The bond and relationship that we share now is to important for us to mess with on trying something more romantic."

"I know all you're talk about you and Booth being 'Just' friends. But sweetie, we all know that sexual tension between you too. And it's driving everyone insane. Please just go and have fun."

"But what about Booth, does he even know that you did this? What about his work? What about Parker for that matter?" Brennan did want to go on a holiday with Booth, but she didn't want to agree with Angela to easy she had to put up an argument just for the hell of it.

"I already spoke to Booth, who already spoke with Cullen and he agreed that he could use some time off too and Cullen seemed happy to give it to him, as he's been one of the best agents in the Hoover over the last 4 years. And Booth doesn't really get to see Parker anymore as Rebecca hardly gives him time with him and he can always call him is he misses him." Angela could see her friend getting used to the idea of going on a holiday with Booth and maybe even try to enjoy it.

"Okay, but I still don't agree going to Holland. I mean isn't it winter time right now there?"

"Yes, it is. But it's so cosy in Holland when it's winter. And so romantic just think of all the night you get to stay indoors with Booth cosy sitting in front of a fireplace with hot chocolate."

"That does sound nice. But we can do that here too not that we would but still. Okay Ange I will go to Holland with Booth for my birthday." Brennan smiled at the idea of her and Booth sitting in front of a fireplace, kissing maybe cuddled up against his chest. 'Get a grip Temperance, Booth doesn't see you in that way; it's a nice thought though.

Just as she said those words she could see Booth coming into the lab with a huge smile plastered on his face. "Speak of the devil. I'll just leave you to alone to get things sorted out for your holiday. I'll talk to you later okay sweetie?"

"Wait Ange, when is this trip taking place?"

"Uh, you're flight leave tonight. Don't worry I'll come and help you pack when you're finished working here. That reminds me you have to leave the lab at 4 because we need to go shopping for some nice winter clothes." Angela was out of the office before Brennan could even reply."

"Hey, Bones."

"Hi, Booth. What are you doing here?"

"Angela told me to come here at 12 so we could talk about our trip to Holland."

Brennan seemed to brighten up just thinking about the trip that she's going on with Booth. Ever since that happened with his coma thing. Brennan has been meaning to tell him that she loved him. She wanted to do it for some many weeks now because ever since his coma she couldn't get it out of her head how soon a life can end and she really wanted him to know that she could at least if he felt the same way have a nice life with him without having to care about their partnership. Not to know that Booth was thinking the same thing, only he had almost slipped it out so many times he can still remember that night at her apartment.

~~~~~Beginning flashback:~~~~~

"Bones hej Bones open up it's me."

"Booth what are you doing here?"

Brennan opened the door to let him in and could see he brought tai food.

"I brought you dinner thought you mind not get a change with all that paper work your dealing with and those chapters you're suppose to have finished so I thought I might help you out with your paperwork while you work on those chappies." He gave her his best charm smile that he knew she couldn't resist.

"Thanks Booth, I appreciate how you look out for me. It's kind of cute. I like it."

"I lov....uh I like It that you like it but please I'm not cute. I'm a man; men aren't supposed to be cute."
