Good afternoon dear readers! I wrote another one-shot this morning. The idea popped into my head yesterday and I decided to write it so it would leave me alone. I think it's rather fluffy and maybe a little silly, but hey, I kinda like it.
For those who're reading The Truth in the Sessions, the next chapter will be up soon, I promise.
Disclaimer: Bones belongs to FOX and Hart Hanson and although I follow him on Twitter, I've got absolutely nothing to do with him.
Angela watched as Booth and Brennan entered the Jeffersonian, his hand guiding her on the small of her back. Angela sighed and decided to take another shot at making the impossible happen.
She had started calling this 'Mission Impossible' a while ago. Okay maybe her best friend wasn't big with human interaction and everything, but being oblivious for this long, Angela didn't think that was normal for anyone. But even though she did transform her operation to 'Mission Impossible', she still didn't give up, one day they would have to see the light, no other possibility.
"Hey you two!" she yelled enthusiastically while nearing the couple.
They both turned around and greeted her.
"Don't you guys look so cute today!"
She saw them looking at each other in confusion, both seemingly asking the other one what was going on.
"You didn't happen to have had a great date together last night, did you?"
She knew for a fact that they didn't, but she needed to start with something.
"Of course we didn't, Ange. You know Booth and I don't date."
"Oh come on Sweetie! Why not?"
"Because Booth and I are just partners Angela. How many times do I have to explain this to you? You are a rather intelligent human being, yet you don't seem to understand this simple fact."
"No, I don't' Bren. Because it's ridiculous!"
Angela almost yelled it, completely exasperated. She threw her arms in the air when she said it.
"Everything okay Cherie?"
She turned her head to see Caroline Julian walk towards them with her trade mark smile, if that's what you could call it.
"No, everything's not okay! These two are incredible, I can't even get them to date! Not even one little date!"
Angela sighed. Caroline laughed a little. It only caused Angela to frown.
"That's not funny you know. If you can do it better, than please, be my guest!"
"I don't think I'll get them to date either Cherie."
"Well then you don't have to laugh at me and be all smug about yourself."
Caroline seemed to be getting quite irritated herself.
"At least I got them to kiss!"
"You what?", Angela almost shouted.
Brennan silently moaned while Booth smacked his hand against his own forehead.
"You didn't tell her?"
"What do you think Caroline?" Booth snapped.
"I thought she'd know, Cherie, I thought they'd all know."
"It was just mistletoe!"
"Whatever you say Cherie."
Angela turned her attention to Brennan and Booth now, her eyes wide and glistening.
Brennan sighed. "It was with Christmas when I wanted to get my family together in that trailer. I needed a letter from the prosecutor, so I asked Caroline. She only wanted to do it if I kissed Booth for 5 steamboats under some mistletoe. Apparently she was feeling puckish."
"Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!"
Her attention shifted back to Caroline.
"Why didn't you say this?! I so wanted to see that!"
"I'm sorry Cherie, it didn't cross my mind. …Don't they have this on surveillance tape anyway? I thought they registered everything here."
Hodgins hopped off the platform, joining them.
"There's one camera that's directed onto Doctor B's office, I think."
They could see the excitement rise on Angela's face. Booth on the other hand became slightly paler.
"Whoa, they probably don't have that tape anymore anyway, that was ages ago!"
"First of all, it was not really ages ago and secondly, isn't there an archive here?"
Booth shot Sweets, who'd joined them too by now, a shut-up-or-I'll-shoot-you glare.
"Of course they do!"
Angela was already on her way to the archive before anyone could say another thing.
B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B&B
A little while later they were all in Angela's office, setting up the TV-installation. Booth and Brennan still whining and complaining.
"I feel like I could sink through the floor right now." Booth muttered.
"Booth it is impossible to just sink through the floor. The underground here is way too hard and is made specifically for walking on, it's designed to support the human mass."
"It's just a saying Bones, it means that I'm really, really embarrassed right now."
"Oh in that case, I think I might sink with you!"
A shout from Hodgins, saying that everything's ready, cuts their conversation off.
"You know what, this is ridiculous; we have something called privacy you know."
Angela was the first to reply. "Everything you do in this building is open to watch."
"Oh this coming from Miss I-sleep-in-the-closet-everyday-but-manage-to-make-the-tapes-disappear." Booth offered sarcastically.
"Well, you should've done your homework better and cleaned it up yourself than."
Booth sighed. Brennan looked at him. "Nice try, Booth."
They both stared to the ground until they heard Angela's screams. Booth looked up, but when he saw Bones and him on the screen, initiating the kiss, he looked back down immediately.
Everyone was a little startled when a voice came from the opening from Angela's office door.
"Okay people, why isn't anyone working. What is this, 'The Bones and The Beautiful?' "
Cam stood still in the doorway, raising her brows expectantly.
"I don't know what that means."
Booth looked up quickly. "It's a reference to a TV-show, Bones. Basically everyone is sleeping with everyone, lots of gossiping, tons of drama."
"Now the comparison makes sense!" Brennan spat the last word in Angela's direction, she just shrugged.
Cam came a little closer, ready to protest again and send everyone to work. She opened her mouth to speak, and then changed her mind.
"Oh my god! Is that what I think it is?"
Cam went over to the video equipment. A smug smile reappeared on Angela's face as she stepped aside a little to let Cam see. Brennan let out an exasperated sigh.
"Wait I'll rewind it for you." Hodgins offered.
After watching the kiss they waited a few more minutes to see the aftermath, including the piece of gum that somehow started in Brennan's mouth and ended in Booth's.
"Well hello tongue!" Hodgins grinned widely.
"It really was like kissing my brother." Brennan offered in a small voice.
"Man that's incestuous" Hodgins exclaimed.
Booth glared evilly at him, which made Hodgins shut up after all.
Caroline decided to chime in again at that point. "Still, Cherie, it was so much better to see the real thing."
"So they'll just have to do it again, for everybody this time!"
That idea couldn't come from anyone but Angela Montenegro, Booth thought.
He started stuttering, and then pulled himself together again, getting nervous and irritated at the same time. "Whoa, wait a second. You can't order us to kiss."
"Booth's right! I kiss whoever I like, you can't tell me that! It is completely irrational to assume that you have any power whatsoever over me so you can control my actions."
"I'm not letting you out of this office before you kiss your hunky agent over there, Sweetie."
"That…That's blackmail!", she turned to Cam, "She can't do this right? Besides we have work to do, you said so yourself."
"Normally, you're right. And we do. But even though I'm the boss and I should promote working, I can't resist this. This is too good!"
"I really do have better things to do than this!"
Brennan already started for the door but Angela jumped right in front of it, spreading her arms to barricade the door.
"Oh no you don't Missy!"
Brennan turned to Booth again, completely perplexed and a little frightened. Booth saw the look on her face and wanted nothing more than to help them out of this.
"You do know I have a gun don't you?"
"You're not going to shoot me." Angela said so convincing as possible.
Brennan and Booth stared at each other, coming to a decision without saying a word. The others waited excitedly. After what seemed like hours, they booth shrugged at the same time and turned their attention back to the others, who looked at them with a slight shock.
"Fine, but after this you're letting us out of here right away, or I WILL shoot you. No more mercy."
"Okay, deal. But I want 10 steamboats!"
"This isn't negotiable Ange, you wanted a replica from that kiss, and that kiss only had to be 5 steamboats."
Angela pouted. "I want 10!"
Booth butt in. "7 and that's final!"
After a few seconds Angela nodded. "Fine."
Booth nodded too. "This is insane. I don't want to hear anything about this afterwards and you step away from that door immediately, you hear me?"
All Angela could do was nod as she saw Booth and Brennan turning their bodies back to each other and looking one another in the eye one last time before repeating their mistletoe kiss.
When they broke apart, pretty much everyone else in the room had their mouths wide open, completely and utterly shocked. Angela managed to step aside from the door and let the non-couple escape.
They could still hear them talk, their usual rapid banter, until they seemed to be around the corner.

Cam was the first to speak. "I never thought they'd actually do that."
Hodgins just shook his head in agreement.
"That was so not like kissing your brother." Sweets added.
Hodgins shot back, "You think genius?"
"Somehow this was even hotter than with Christmas."
Angela talked for the first time. "I can't believe they don't see this. If they share a couple more of those kisses, they won't be able to fight it anymore, I'm sure!"
"And how do you want to do that Cherie? I already got them to kiss once, twice if you think about it. I can't blackmail them into it all the time and neither can you. We're running out of people to make them kiss."
"Yeah Angela, that's not going to work out. Although it was seriously hot. They're not even together and they already kiss like that; I don't think Seeley ever kissed me like THAT when we were together."
For a minute that pretty much stung, but Cam decided the better of it. She and Booth were just not supposed to be like that, friends and colleagues, nothing more. Doctor Brennan on the other hand, seemed like the perfect match.
"Too bad if this doesn't work out.", Sweets agreed.
Angela got a mischievous grin plastered back on her face.
"Oh believe me, this will work out. It has to! They're meant for each other. I'll figure out something to get these two oblivious love-birds together, even if it's the last thing I ever do! This is just great, this should be fun!"
Cam nodded in agreement.
"I'm telling you people, 'The Bold and The Beautiful' has absolutely nothing on us."
So that's it. Please review and make my day!
