Disclaimer: I don't own Jack Hodgins, Zachary Addy, or anybody cool like that on Bones or any other TV show, but if I did own dear Mr. Addy, the world as we know it would end… evil grin… I do own the bugs, though… The bugs are mine. You can't have them. P
A/N: A simple one-shot of what happens before Zack & Jack's Friday night bug races… trash-talking. R&R, please…I enjoy constructive criticism, as opposed to outright bashing. If I get some more ideas and encouragement from you guys, I just might turn this into a series of single scene Addy/Hodgins friendship thingies. Let's call it "Adgins friendship"!
Dr. Jack Hodgins walked proudly into what he and Zack had now dubbed their drag strip. He looked at his "archrival" and smirked.
"Your little prostituting mantis is going down tonight."
Zack took offense quickly.
"How could you say that about Estelle?" he demanded in his usual barely audible, hardly fluctuating tone, "She's just looking for a mate. It's not her fault your stupid mantis was horning over her and lost last week."
"Billy was NOT ogling your little sleaze! He just has an attention disorder!"
"Riiight… Just like weren't staring at Angela's gluteus as she was working on her virtual reconstructions today, which, by the way, you totally were," muttered Zack, unable to keep the smirk out of his voice and off of his face.
"Sh-Shut up! You… you…"
Jack had to stop and think. What had Addy done recently? He'd wanted to get busy with Dr. Brennan, but hadn't everyone? He screwed up his face in concentration.
"What's the matter?" poked Zack in an almost evilly monotonous whisper, "Trying to think of how you could possibly beat Estelle? Let me save you some trouble: you can't. She can easily outstrip all of your pathetic little wimpy bugs."
Jack snorted.
"Billy's over his ADD. He can so whoop your prissy little Stella's abdomen."
"Her name is Estelle! And it will be she who will be doing the whooping of Billy's abdomen," said Zack in what qualified as a yell, considering his usual voice level.
"Yo'mama!" countered Hodgins, rather pathetically.
"Your mother!" laughed Zack.
Jack smiled. It was good to see the kid laugh, considering how morbid he normally was.
"Let's just do this thing."
"It's on like Donkey Kong."
That's all for now. I know it's short, but if you want more, just let me know and I'll add on with more chapters. Please R&R…
