Hey, this is my first piece so I don't know how well it will turn out. Plus it might not exactly fit in to the Bones plotline, and sequencing. But I hope you enjoy it!

Booth was racing up the stairs to Bone's apartment. She didn't show up at the Jeffersonian today, and he was worried, it really wasn't like her to miss work, and she would never forget to call in. Once he reached her floor and was standing in front of her door, he started to realize he might have overreacted about this whole situation. Booth was about to turn around and head back to the Hoover building when he heard that unmistakable voice call out his name.

"Booth, what are you doing here?" she asked quietly.

He turned to face her, "Well you weren't at the Jeffersonian and no one knew where you were so I thought I'd stop by… you know, to ummm, make sure you're alright and all."

"Do we have a case?" Her face lit up as she asked. She pushed past him and opened her front door.

"No, and well now that I see you're perfect….ly okay I'll just go back."

"Hey since you're here, you want to come in?" She opened the door wider offering him entrance. "You thirsty, I have juice."

Booth followed her into the kitchen and leaned into the countertop, "Nah, I'm good, you know I should probably leave, get back to work…. But hey why aren't you at the Jeffersonian on this fine day?"

"I was tried this morning and had a meeting with my publisher an hour ago, I figured I might as well take the day off and get things around the house done." As she finished her explanation she realized that Booth wasn't paying any attention to what she had to say at all, instead he was staring off into space with an obscure look on his face. " Booth, whats wrong?"

"Do you hear that? I think someone else is in here." He moved out of the kitchen quietly, he was using his Ranger skills to move without making a sound.

Brennan laughed, "Booth what are you doing, you look like an idiot. How would someone else get in my apartment?" Just then they heard the sound of a door opening it came from her bedroom. "Okay, see this is one of the reasons I need a gun." Bones whispered to Booth.

Booth looked at her with a completely serious expression, his weapon was out and he had adrenaline pumping through his veins, "You stay here. Don't move until I tell you too"

But just as he was saying that the intruder opened the door to Brennan's bedroom. Booth immediately sent all his attention to the person standing in front of him in a towel, with a smile on her face. Bones moved from the kitchen because her curiosity was getting the best of her. Once she was what Booth was seeing her jaw almost dropped, this was one person she thought she would never see again.

She's taller now, still just as skinny, her hair was longer and it was evident that she had begun to wear make up. For the most part she looked the same just 5 to 6 years older.

Booth was the first to speak, "What the hell?" He turned to Bones, "Do you know her?"

The young woman responded after she saw that Brennan's mouth had opened but no words we coming out. "Yeah, TJ, do you know me? It's been awhile, you still remember me don't you?"

Bones immediately turned her focus to Booth, she looked him in the eyes and he could tell this was an uncomfortable subject for her. "Booth, why don't you head back to work." He gave her a questioning look. "It's fine, I have to sort this all out." He looked at her again with the same expression. "GO! Now."

Ummm more later, maybe. If anyones reading, I mean I have some ideas, but who knows. REVIEWS?
