Disclaimer: i dont own bones (insert joke)

Tempe smirked as he wrapped his arms around her, filling her soul with new and exotic feelings.

"See you tomorrow." He smiled and left her office. Ange waited impatiently outside the door.

"So, how is he?" Tempe smiled a dark, warm smile.

"He's amazing. He always is."

2 days later

Booth ran into Tempe's office.

"Bones, are you here?" He smiled as she stared up calmly from her desk.

"Booth, what is the hurry. If it is a case, I'm sure the person is already dead." She smiled to herself at her little joke, which seemed to confuse Booth, not because he didn't understand but because she had made a joke.

"Yeah, but the killer might not be, ya know?" He smiled at his supposed wit and collapsed onto her couch. "There is a body. It's out in the middle of nowhere. I mean seriously, a place called Dorrance, Kansas." At this comment, Tempe's head shot up.

"You mean we have to go to Kansas?" Booth burst out into a full charm smile, almost pleading with his eyes.

"Yes, please Bones. We HAVE to go." He looked at her, his eyes suddenly clouding with pain. Tempe knew that look.

"Are the remains that of a child?" Booth nodded solemnly and led her out of the door.

"We leave in three hours. I will meet you at the airport okay?" Tempe nodded and Booth ran out of sight. Ange walked up, smiling broadly at her best friend.

"You two off on another case in the middle of nowhere, with little contact with the outside world again?" Ange smiled and nudged Tempe, who nudged back rather forcefully.

"Come on Angela, out of everyone you should know that nothing is going to happen, especially with-" Ange nodded in agreement.

"Sully does make it a problem, doesn't he?" Tempe looked at her.

"How is he a problem? I thought…oh no!" Tempe ran into her office, grabbed her keys and cell phone and ran off.

"Bye to you too, sweetie!" Ange called to Tempe's back. She was worried for her, and if she really knew how she was stringing them both along.

"Hello?"

"Sully…this is Temperance. Look, I'm sorry, but-"

"What, canceling on me again?" Tempe sighed. She didn't want to fight with him. She only cancelled when she REALLY had to, which was now three times.

"Yes, actually, because, you see, Booth has a case for us in Kansas, and the plane leaves in-"

"Sure, whatever, see you later okay?"

"That's what I was calling about. I talked to Booth, and he has agreed to let you come along. I really want you to be there with me." She felt so sorry for him, she was putting him through so much, and she never did this to her 'loser boyfriends' that Booth always moaned about. Sully was a good guy too, sweet and kind, not a loser in any way.

"Really, okay then I will pack! What time do we leave?" Tempe's grin broadened in relief.

"In about two hours. Pack for at least a month." Tempe hung up, strutting out of her car to her apartment. Now she just had to tell Booth.
