A/N: This story is my version of Parents Day story that was written to go with Dream4aSleepyZombie.

Any thing in the () is remembering in this chapter.

For this story lets say Hanna never happened.

The Start

It had been a normal school day for Parker Booth until the last few minutes of school. His teacher Mr Green was giving out Homework and reminders for the next few days.

"In two weeks we will be having Parents Day. Please have your mom or dad sign and return this to us by this Friday." Mr Green kept talking about other reminders.

"Great sleep day is cominimg up!" one of the kids next to Parker had loudly whispered. However Parker hadn't heard anything else the kid had said. He was lost in his own thoughts.

(Last year the school had only given parents a four day notice about Parents Day or PD as Parker himself called it. Ever year since kindergarten his mom had gone with him. Now that he was in the second grade He wanted some one special to come with him. It was actually two special people but normally when he found one the other was close by.

"Dr Brennan" He heard as she answered his call.

"Hey Dr Bones"

"Good Afternoon Parker. Are you alright?" No matter when he called she always asked first if he was alright.

"I'm alright. Friday we have a day where grown ups come in and talk about there jobs. I was wondering if you would come."

"It's Parker,( he had heard her say), have you spoken to your dad about this yet?"

"Not yet he is my next call." However Parker like everyone else knew where Bones is normally his dad was close behind especially before dark.

"Why don't you ask him right now then?" He didn't get a chances to respond before his fathers voice came over the line.

"Hey buddy, is everything alright?" Hearing his dads normal questions he laughed quietly to himself. Leave it to his dad to ask the same question that his partner had just asked.

"I'm Okay. Dad, PD is cominimg up. I was wondering if you and Dr Bones could come this year."

"Don't you normal take your mom?"

"Yea, but can't you guys come this year, please?"

"When is it this year?"

"This Friday." Parker could hear the small intake of breath his father made.

"I'm sorry buddy, Bones and I are out of town on a case. Even if we get the bad guys there's no way we would make it home in time."

"I understand" The sadness at his father not being able to do something barely in his voice.

"How about you take your mom this year. When i get home Ill talk to her about me coming next year?"

"Dr Bones too?" He asked a little of the sadness leaving his voice.

"We will see what's going on then but, let me talk to your mom then we'll go from there, okay?" It was then his mom had called him for dinner.

"Alright see you soon. Tell Dr Bones bye for me. Moms calling me."

"I will buddy.")

This year he had a two week notice. He only hoped that would give his dad and Dr Bones enough time to come. Later on that night as he and his mom ate she asked the question he had been waiting on.

"How was your day?" Rebecca asked as they ate.

"I got an A on my Math test and a B on my History quiz."

"That's great son!" The pride for her son clearly coming out in her voice. "Any thing else going on?"

"PD is in two weeks." Taking a deep breath he selected his next words carefully." Mom, I know you normally come, but this year can Dr Bones and dad come?" Holding his breath he waited on her answer.

A/N: Next time Rebecca will give her answer. And later on a year isn't just 365 days. It's 365 new chances at what you want.

I apologize to the wonderful people who helped me with a different take on this story. It was betad and ready to post. Then instead of my dog ate it. My computer ate it. So this one is all new. For this reason my post maybe a few days in between.

As always any and all honest feedback is welcome.
