Lyrics and Love

AN: I looooooove music! I'm completely obsessed. I'll listen to just about anything. This concept came from my own road trips when I'll just shuffle my songs and sing along with whatever comes. After one such trip I realized several songs would make perfect songfic one-shots. So I'm stringing them together here, I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do own an iPod which contains several episodes of Bones BUT I do not own Bones or the iPod brand. Just in case you were wondering...

Chapter 1 Road Trip Games

"Come on Booth!"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Bones! It's too dark to read the case file now. We'll be in South Carolina in a few hours anyway." The black FBI SUV was speeding toward Myrtle Beach, the roads thankfully free of traffic at the late hour.

"No. I want to read it now."

"Okay, I didn't mention this earlier but... we can't get to the body until the morning."

"What? Why not?"

"It's complicated, Bones. Small towns are very protective of their people. It would look more suspicious if the FBI show up to conduct an investigation in the middle of the night."

"But the body needs to be preserved, Hodgins needs samples to determine an accurate time of death-"

"I know, Bones. I know. They'll let Hodgins on site first thing in the morning to collect his samples. We'll be there to make sure nothing is disturbed. But see, you can read the case file tonight. At the hotel. Not in the car."

Temperance sank back into her seat, frustrated and annoyed. It wasn't Booth's fault, really. While she'd love for him to go federal on the local police they'd likely need lots of cooperation to understand the victim and round up suspects. Temperance sighed.

"It's another two hours, Booth. What do you suggest we do?"

----

"I don't understand, Booth." The agent sighed heavily, stealing a sideways glance at his partner, confirming her confusion was genuine.

"We plug in your iPod, put the songs on shuffle and listen to music. Just to see what comes up randomly."

"Why is that a game? Can't we just listen to the radio?"

"It's a game because you can tell a lot about a person by their music choices. And we're in North Carolina. I don't want to listen to the radio stations here. Okay, Bones?"

"On one condition."

"Shoot."

"We trade off with your iPod, too, one song from each until the battery dies or we get to the hotel. Deal?"

"Deal."

Satisfied, Temperance plugged in her MP3 player and selected the shuffle feature. Soon a soft guitar beat filled the car.

"So, what do we have first Bones?"

It's undeniable how brilliant you are...

END Chapter

AN: I'm thinking of introducing each new song like this to give y'all some time to figure out the musician and song title. Then I'll post their conversation to the lyrics. Any guesses out there? And no cheating with lyric search websites. Just guesses based on songs you've heard. I've got about eight chapters done if I get reviews, I'll post them!

Also, I have an amazing beta, KatieBeth, who happens to be really busy with school. So these are un-betaed since I'd hate to distract her from schoolwork anymore than I already have.
