So this is just a little bit of nothing that has no real point other than to elicit a few laughs. Enjoy and review if ya feel like it. Thanks!

Chapter 1

The sun was shining brightly, the temperatures were warm, and a slight breeze ruffled the grass creating a serene environment for the FBI/Jeffersonian Picnic. It was an event led by Cullen and others in order to promote inter-institution cooperation. Most who were invited were there save four people, three of whom stood in the office of Dr. Temperance Brennan.

"Bren, seriously! You're not going to go?" shouted an angry Angela. Brennan ignored her best friend and continued typing away. Angela sighed and turned to Booth, who was sitting on the couch. "Maybe you'll have better luck with her. I'm going to the picnic." Booth nodded and waited for Angela to turn the corner before standing up.

"Okay Bones. I'm not going to stand here and beg you to come. But you need and deserve a break. So whenever you finish your super important whatever, you will be greatly welcomed okay?" Still, Brennan refused to look up and meet Booth's gaze. She knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to tell him no and she really needed to get the next few chapters of her novel written before her editor went nuts. Booth shook his head and turned his attention to the other person in the room. "Come on buddy." Parker quickly jumped off the couch and took his father's hand.

Brennan was alone and it was only eleven thirty in the morning! The lab was never this quiet and empty during the evening, where at least the ventilation system was on and the maintenance crew was about.

"That's it," she said aloud to no one. She saved the document she was working on, grabbed her things and headed out.

The picnic was being held at a large open park in the city. She finally found a parking spot after twenty minutes of searching and took the long walk to the park. Most people were congregated around the picnic area and the smoke rose from the grills. She made her way over to the picnic area and her senses were assaulted with the smell of the barbeque and the sounds of people talking and kids laughing. She prepared herself for the long arduous task of finding everyone, but was surprised to find Angela and the rest of the team sitting together at a table nearest the parking lot. She could see Angela helping Parker eat, while Zach and Hodgins seemed to argue over something. She smiled and made her way to the table.

"Brennan, you came!" greeted Angela, her loud voice sent Parker off the bench. "Sorry honey."

"I hafta use the potty," he said holding himself.

"Come on. I'll take you," replied Angela. "Jack, make yourself useful and get the woman some food." Hodgins did as he was told and headed off to get some food.

"I'll be back," announced Zach. "I want to get my plane from the back of Hodgins car." Just as fast as Tempe came everyone at the table left. With a sigh she rested her head on her head while reaching forward to grab a piece of watermelon from Parker's plate.

"I'm glad you came," whispered Booth to Brennan's ear. The feeling of his hot breath on her ear sent a arm feeling jolting through her body. He set down a plate full of food in front of her.

"Thanks Booth."

"Anytime Bones. So, are you going to join us in any games today?"

"We'll see," she replied with a smile. Booth reached over to attempt to grab a piece of food, but Brennan playfully smacked his hand away.

"What? There is a delivery charge you know." Brennan smiled and pushed the plate to the middle.

"It's so cute when you two flirt," said Angela as she a Parker took seats across from the duo.

"Daddy, what does flirt mean?"

"Something you don't need to know about for another fifteen years if I have anything to do with it." The adults were laughing but Parker was still confused.

"Ladies and gentleman if I can have your attention please," announced Cullen over a megaphone. "The first event of the day, the water balloon toss is about to begin. If all those participating would please come to the podium area…" Booth looked over at Brennan with a raised eyebrow.

"Bones, would you care to be my partner?" Brennan nodded and they made way to the podium. "Parker, bub, there's a kid's tournament too. Go join!" Parker nodded enthusiastically and Angela went to help him sign up.
