Author's Note: Hey, this is my first fanfiction. If people read it and like it, I'll continue. If no one reviews or reads it then I won't continue. Basically I wrote this for myself, but it would be great for someone else to read it too.

Chapter 1
Booth walks into the Chinese restaurant where he's supposed to meet the squints in a celebratory dinner for solving the girl's murder. He slipped into his seat at the bar, the seat that Bones always met him at to have a quick drink and sometimes they ate dinner there. Hodgins was already there with Angela, and Cam waved him over. He shook his head, wanting to prepare before he had to listen to their scientific talk. Bones came into the restaurant with a girl that looked to be around 5"4' and had dark golden hair. Bones was talking to her as if she was explaining about something, or someone Booth thought as Bones gestured towards him. The girl nodded and smirked, as she slid into the seat next to Angela. She hugged Angela as she talked to Cam, Bones waved to Booth and he sauntered over to the table. He looked at the girl closer, she was actually quite attractive. She had beautiful hazel eyes and full lips; her hair was flowing around her shoulders. She twirled her hair unconsciously while talking to Cam about the injuries of a Civil War soldier. Booth cleared his throat and she jumped,
"Sorry about that, didn't mean to startle you" Booth said in a deep voice
"It's no problem, I guess I'm just a bit jumpy today" she said abashed, "It comes with working on murder cases I suppose" she laughed, her laugh was a soft peal of bells. Her voice was quite deep and husky, It's kind of hot Booth thought, Wait, I've barely met this girl! I can't be thinking things like that!
"…. How about you?" she asked
"Sorry, I guess I was zoning out. What was that again?" Booth asked apologetically
"I said I was hungry. What about you?" she questioned, trying to hold back a laugh
"Sure, but I'd let the waiter chose what you want to eat. He's a genius, he knows what you'd like and I wouldn't recommend ordering for yourself. Just ask Hodgins" Booth said laughingly as Hodgins nodded in agreement.
She nodded and smiled at Hodgins before patting his arm and talking to Angela about some museum exhibit opening. Booth leaned back in his spot next to Bones; Bones leaned over and asked,
"Booth, why did you "zone out" as you put it? You were staring quite intently at Tori"
"Tori? Is that her name? That's a pretty name" Booth replied
"Thanks, I'd like to take credit for it but I have to give all credit to my mom. And her love of harlequin romance novels. I like to say its Japanese though, it's a nicer explanation and it doesn't make me feel like a whore" Tori smirked as if to say that she had heard the conversation
"You never told me that, wait your mom liked harlequin romance novels?" Angela questioned
"Never felt the need to tell anyone, but we're all family now so I figured why not? Besides, the next time I have a juicy secret you'll be the first to know" Tori replied
Tori smiled and leaned back in the booth, she sipped her water daintily. Booth leaned forward and held out his hand
"I'm Special Agent Seely Booth, but you can call me Booth" Booth declared to Tori
"It's nice to meet you Booth, I'm Victoria Herrara but you may call me Tori. Don't ever call me Victoria and I don't like it when people use my surname." Tori warned
Booth smiled and shook her hand, her hand was somewhat small but it fit in his hand without being enveloped by his. Just then the waiter came to the booth and glanced at everyone, he wrote all of the orders and walked away. Tori, Cam, Bones, and Angela walked off to the bathroom to wash their hands and talk.
Booth POV
"So what do you think of Tori?" Hodgins asked me
"I don't know she seems nice. She's going to be like the rest of you isn't she? I haven't heard her say anything scientific yet but I'm sure she will eventually" I said
"She is really nice, she's a polite girl. She's not very scientific outside of the lab, but she only uses scientific lingo to relate to Brennan. Brennan likes her; she's great at what she does. But she's fun to be around; I mean did you see her? She's just a fantastic friend; she's great to talk to. She can just listen but she also talks a lot when you need her to. She's Ange's friend from high school actually, she's a lot like Angela. She loves people and she's shows a lot of affection , once she gets used you she'll probably start calling you sweetie or babe. It's her thing, she is really like Angela; she doesn't trust very easily, she's been hurt by people she's loved before. I actually have no idea how she became so nurturing, her mom isn't the helpful or loving type. I think she's going to like you soon though" Hodgins disclosed
Booth just sat back in the booth and digested all of the information. Hodgins had never really trusted him enough to talk that much to him.
