-The Beginning of Changes-

Special Agent Seeley Booth walked onto the lab platform at the Jeffersonian Institute with a swipe of his ID card, a case file in his hands. Looking around, he notices that the squints are all present, that is except for Bones and Angela. "Hey guys, Bones in her office?" he asks. Dr. Zach Addy, looking up from the WW2 remains he was working on was the one to reply "Oh hi Agent Booth, Dr. Brennan is out for the day. She took Angela with her to the relaters' to sign the paperwork and get the keys for her new house. She also said to have you call her tonight, because she needs your help with purchasing a TV." Booth was momentarily stunned. Bones bought a house? While it did make sense after everything that has happened in the last month, what with her father murdering someone in her living room, and all. It was perfectly logical for her to want to move. It just hurt that he hadn't been told by her. Making up his mind and quickly recovering before his hurt was able to show on his face he asks, "Well then Zach, do you think you could come out to the crime scene with me, before it gets compromised?" Zack perked up at being asked by the FBI agent to work with him on a case, but he quickly looks to Dr. Saroyan for permission. Cam, having been listening in doesn't bother to look up, waves her hand and says "Have fun Zacaroni". Being a dream come true for Zach he nods, and quickly runs to grab a field pack, and then returns to ask Booth about the case.

Meanwhile, Dr. Temprance Brennan stands in the living room of her new house. "Well Ange, what do you think?" She asks her best friend. "Bren I love it, stunning. But I have to ask, why do you need three bedrooms, and what are you going to do with the swing set out back?" Brennan flushes lightly, not sure how to respond to the query about the extra bedrooms. She had just finished showing Angela around the house, including the massive kitchen, formal dining room, the Den which she would be using for an office, and the upstairs with its master bedroom and two extra rooms. She couldn't exactly say that she just felt that it was right her, felt like a home to her. "Well I figured Booth might bring Parker by, and he would enjoy the swings." Angela squeals at this, taking it as a sign that maybe her best friend was finally ready to make a move on the sexy knight in standard issue FBI body armor. "So you picture Booth being here a lot, hmmm?" "Angela, he is my partner and my friend. Do not go dreaming up some fantasy about Booth and I, nothing is going on. "Whatever you say Bren" Angela smiles and says, secretly dying to tell Hodgins about it.

Booth filled Zach in on all the details of the case as they drove to the crime scene. Sometime around eight in the morning a group of teenagers were hanging out around the local park, skateboarding, and doing whatever it is that teenagers do these days. The teenagers discovered the remains when they knocked over the outhouse with someone in it. Zack couldn't seem to understand why anyone would have knocked over an outhouse to begin with. Booth tried to explain that it was a prank and that the person inside was covered in, well crap; Zach just looked at him blankly. So Booth went on to tell him that the skateboarding area had been open for a little over a year now, and that the portable outhouses were brought in this summer, mid-August to be exact. The body was badly decomposed. Zach explained that human excrement and the chemicals in the outhouse would do that to a body. When they got to the scene, kids were everywhere, trying to get a look at the body. Zach calmly went over and began taking photos and then collecting samples of the soil around where the body lay. He took notes into a micro recorder, and then said that the body was ready to be shipped to the lab. He should be able to identify the victim then, but to start with the victim was approximately 19 years of age, male, and African American. Cause of death appeared to be strangulation, quite obviously due to the fact that a chain was wrapped around the neck of the corpse. Booth sighed, and directed the FBI agents at the scene to do as Dr. Addy requested. The kid was good, he couldn't help but think. But he is no Bones. And it was Bones that Booth really wanted to be with.

When they got back into the SUV Zach looked cautiously at the man behind the wheel, "Agent Booth, do you mind if I ask you something?" Booth looked at the squint from the corner of his eye and couldn't help himself "If this is about a woman, I swear I will shoot you. But go ahead…even though I have a feeling I will regret this" Gulping, Zach couldn't help but remember the time that he asked Booth for advice about women last year and was told that he would be shot between the eyes. "No, No…nothing like that Agent Booth. I swear. I was just wondering if you had any idea why Dr. Brennan felt the need to take Angela with her today. I just don't get it. And Hodgins was all grumpy because of it. You know Dr. Brennan better than I do outside of work, so I just thought maybe you, well you know." Booth couldn't help but laugh. "You know what Zach; I have been wondering the same thing myself. It isn't like Bones to take someone with her to do things. She is so stubborn and independent." A smile brightened Zach's face. He had something in common with Booth! It was pretty obvious to most people that Zach idolized the FBI agent. Once Angela even asked if Zach was gay, and that was a little awkward, but well he couldn't really blame Angela. He hadn't been around many women. But secretly he did have a crush. It just happened to be on his boss. Dr. Saroyan, who he knew Booth was involved with. So there was no hope there.

Zach was brought out of his thoughts when they reached the Jeffersonian. Booth asked him to call when he had something on the remains. And Zach reminded him to call Dr. Brennan. As if Booth would forget to make that call!

Brennan had finished directing the moving men as to where to put her belongings. Angela was hard at work hanging pictures and art in the living room, which was almost ready to live in. There was just something missing. "Hey Bren, are you really going to go buy a TV tonight?" "That is what I told you, yes. I asked Zach to have Booth call me if he came in for a case. If I don't hear from him by five I was going to call him." Brennan replied from the kitchen. The last of her dishes were put away. The fridge was stocked, and it felt like home to her. She just had to finish setting up the Bedroom, the Bathroom, and her office now. The two extra bedrooms were going to remain empty for now. Part of her wanted to see if she could get a roommate. But for some reason every time she imagined sharing her new home with someone, all she could think about was Booth. It was true that in the last few months they were spending more and more time together outside of work, even though he had a relationship with Cam. And he was very protective of her. Should she ask him? It wasn't like he wouldn't have his own room, and there was one for Parker as well. The house was much bigger and nicer than either her old apartment or Booth's tiny two bedroom apartment, plus she knew he spent a fortune on rent. She couldn't continue this line of thought. "Hey Ange, want to take a break? I have some beer, or Dr. Pepper. We could order a pizza…" Angela came into the kitchen and took the can of pop that Bren offered her "Oh, pizza… white with veggies?" Brennen nodded and went to order.

Booth turned in the reports for the day, and new that if anything had been discovered Zach would have called by now. There was no work for him to do. And it was only 3pm. Cullen told him to go ahead and leave for the day, so he was sitting in his SUV. Pulling out his phone he pressed the speed dial for Bones. She answered on the second ring.

"Brennen"

"Hey, I was told by Zach to call you."

"Booth! Oh good, are you done for the day? Hodgins called Angela and told us about the case, but we were in the middle of setting up my new bedroom…"

"Yeah, I am sure Zach has it all under control. He did a good job out there today. You would be proud of him"

"Great. So…uh… do you have time to come see my new place?"

"Yeah, though I am a little hurt that you didn't tell me you bought a house. Partners tell each other when the move Bones"

"Angela was the only one I told until this morning. Well she told Hodgins of course. But the point is I didn't want you to know until I had it all set up. I wanted to surprise you with how normal it is. Is that wrong? I told you I was thinking about moving after what my father did in my apartment."

"Yeah, Bones, thinking about and actually doing are two different things."

"Well I only saw this house two days ago! I haven't talked to you in two days..."

"You could have called"

"I am sorry Booth. But will you please come over? "

"Yeah of course I will, Zach said you needed me to help you buy a TV after all. And that is serious."

Laughing, Brennen gives Booth directions to her new place. He asks if she has eaten and she explains the veggie pizza she and Angela shared. Making a face as he hears this Booth wonders at these women and there idea of pizza.

"Artichoke hearts?"

"They are delicious Booth"

"I seriously need to teach you what good pizza is woman"

"Don't call me woman!"

"Ok Bones"

"That's better"

"So you like it when I call you Bones now, huh Bones"

"No, I am just used to it, that's all"

Feeling much better about things when he hangs up, Booth heads in the direction of Brennan's new house; He is finally getting somewhere with her he thinks to himself, a grin on his face.

A/N: Yes I know so far this does not live up to its rating. And so far no romance. It is coming. I promise.
