Hey guys! This is just a quick one. I have recently started watching the TV show Bones and fell in love with it right away. Last night was the episode where Angela and Hodgins supposed to get married. I thought the end was pretty funny so this is just a little addition that I think you all were hoping would happen.
As the door shut behind the still-unwed couple, Bones and Booth stood at the altar, confused and a little shocked at this new development. They glanced at each other and then up at the priest. "What do we do now?".
The congregation erupted with surprise. Angela and Hodgins had just ditched their own wedding…and without an explanation. They had said to enjoy the reception and then just…LEFT! Brennen and Booth still stood in the same place, dazed. There were so many people here and they knew none of them. None but Zack and each other. What were they supposed to do?
Brennen let out a long breath that she hadn't realized she'd been holding. Booth looked at her, his expression reflecting her own. It was up to them to calm everyone down. Angela's father had left, so had Hodgin's immediate family members. They all had rushed out the side door to see if they could get some sort of explination. Brennen felt like doing the same thing, except the doors were being blocked now by two of Angela's distant cousins. And these men did NOT look like they would let anyone leave without finding out what was going on.
Brennen turned to her partner. "Those guys don't seem like they're about to give up their post." Booth signalled to a man in the back to open the main doors. They were stuck. Suddenly, someone began to laugh. It was a chuckle at first, but soon it turned into a full-blown belly-shaking roar. Booth and Brennen turned slowly around. It was the priest. He was bent over, hands on his knees, laughing as hard as anyone ever had before.
"There's nothing funny about this!" Brennen shouted. Booth looked over at her. Had she just yelled at a man of God? She looked back, obviously wondering the same thing. The Holy Man stopped laughing long enough to answer her: "That door used to stick sometimes. My nephew is a repair man; and a hopeless romantic. Last year he got the crazy idea to create a mechanism that would only allow the main doors to open when a man and a woman said "I Do". It's never actually worked before. But, unless those two young men over there decide to scootch over a bit to let us all out, it seems like someone's going to have to get married today." Then he burst out laughing again.
Brennen still didn't see the funny part in all of this. In fact, it all seemed worse after that explination. So someone had to get married. Who the hell would agree to that on such short notice? Most of Hodgins' relatives were already hitched, and the rest were to stuck up to look at anyone else in the room besides themselves…or rather, their reflections, in the mirrors lining the walls. And then there was Angela's family. They were too proper to agree to any spur-of-the-moment nuptules. Who did that leave?
Booth's laughter took Brennen by surprise, pulling her out of her thoughts. "Now what?" Booth smiled mischieviously. "Well Bones, looks like there is going to be some work for the Bridesmaid and Best Man to do after all." Brennen was momentarily confused. But slowly, the meaning of his words filled her entire being. "Booth? You can't seriously be suggesting…no, Booth. There is no way I'll agree to that." "C'mon, Bones. Angela's your best friend. You've said it yourself. You wouldn't want to make her feel like you don't care about her hard work. I mean, they're not going to the reception and if we all stay here…no one'll see the beautiful decorations." She could tell that he was making fun of her, trying to lighten the situation. But she didn't find it very funny. She walked away from him, taking solace in the front row.
Hey guys, I need to take a bit of a break for lunch but I have started the next chapter. I know this one ends kind of abruptly and I'll try to fix that for the next ones. Hope you enjoy these! Please review and maybe give me some ideas. I am used to writing for newspapers and stuff but I usually don't let people read a lot of my stories. I hope you like this one!
