Green Lipstick
Jumping I place Hodgins gave a quiet yelp as Angela passed behind him. Frowning Zach looked to Cam. "Why does Hodgins jump every time Angela Pass' behind him?" he questioned.
Smiling Cam looked to Zach. "It's Saint Patrick's Day. Hodgins isn't wearing any green." she said simply.
Frowning all the more Zach turned his body toward Cam, "But I thought it was customary to wear green today."
"It is." confirmed Cam, "If you don't wear green people will pinch you."
"So why wouldn't Hodgins wear green? You'd think he'd want to avoid being pinched." continued Zach.
Sighing Cam motioned to Hodgins who was now closely following Angela. To the broom closet no doubt. "I believe he has his reasons for not wearing green." she concluded.
Half an hour later Booth entered the lab. Quickly he scanned the squints. Zach wore a green pin, Cam a green shirt and Angela was covered in green down to the green lipstick she wore. But Hodgins… Booth's hope was crushed when Hodgins turned to face him. "Damn! I was hoping to catch at least one of you with no green on today!" he declared.
Turning Zach frowned, "But Hodgins isn't wearing any green." he pointed out.
Shaking his head Booth rocked on his feet. "Nope. He's got green on." he said happily.
Standing Hodgins stood next to Booth. "No, really. I'm not wearing any green." he said matter of factly.
Grinning Booth touched the corner of his own mouth, "What's that then?" he asked.
Reaching up Hodgins reached the corner of his mouth. Holding his hand out in front of him he noted the green lipstick on his finger tips. Without another word he turned and sat down. Laughing Booth slid his hands into his pockets and left the lab.
