Hello all! So, since I was so upset about Booth rejecting Brennan and the fact that there is no Christmas episode this year, I have decided to take it upon myself to sort of do my own Christmas episode-story that will take place over the next thirteen days. The first twelve chapters will be the words to the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song and the thirteenth will be a little treat! Keep in mind that I will not be writing for my other stories until this one is over. Anyways, please enjoy!
Chapter One: Twelve Lords Leaping
Brennan watched with mild interest as the male ballerinas danced around the female, a young blonde woman dressed in a childish nightgown, looking from one dancer to the next, with a slightly confused expression on her face. She leaned over to her best friend, sitting next to her, who was watching with an awed expression on her face.
"What's the point of this play again, Ange?" she asked quietly, "That a little girl shrunk and is being attacked by all her toys and the rodents that live in her home?"
Angela smiled at her explanation of The Nutcracker, never having heard it explained that way. "No, Sweetie. It's about the wonder of being a child, and some romance, and how good triumphs evil every time."
Brennan nodded, sort of understanding since she had triumphed evil a lot in her line of work, with her partner, Seeley Booth, who, she thought bitterly, was probably somewhere very romantic with his dearly beloved girlfriend, Hannah Burley. Brennan's heart ached just thinking about them together, so she attempted to shake off the thoughts and focus on the storyline, finding that it wasn't very easy. Instead her mind began to count the characters on stage.
There were five mice. Three of which were female. Two male. There was a total of seven soldiers. Two were female. Leaving five male. And there was the main character, The Nutcracker, who was male. The King if Mice was male also. There was an additional eight ballerinas, of varying characters. Three were male, the rest female. So, all in all, there were ten female and twelve male. This reminded Brennan of something, which she couldn't exactly remember, but knew it had to do with the holidays, which in turn reminded her of her secret Santa, for which she'd gotten Booth. She still had to get him a present, and made a mental note of it as the play ended and the curtain fell.
Sorry it's not very good but I'm in a rush! The next one will be much better, I promise!
