Because I have barely written anything but angst since I started writing here, I've finally come up with a story where there shouldn't be any sad tears or anger directed to me (hopefully!), just laughs! And so you know, Sully will NOT cause any trouble between Booth and Brennan, I swear.
Sully, Hodgins, and Angela sat around one of the lab tables looking absolutely bored. They most definitely were. They had been stuck in quarantine in the lab for three weeks now, do to some serious fungal spore, more dangerous than Valley Fever, but so much easier to prevent. The first week was easy enough, but three. It had started to become depressing.
Hodgins sighed, and then an idea hit him, "What if we grab Zack's skeleton and dress it up in Booth's underwear again?"
"We did that already and he threatened to shoot us if we thought of doing it again," Sully's head dropped closer to the table, almost dying from the boredom.
Hodgins pouted for a second and then he hopped up with another idea, but he had quickly forgotten it so he sat back down. When he did it a second time, Angela finally butted in, "Jack, for once, just forget it. We've done all there is to possibly do, and then more. There just isn't anything more to do."
They were saved by the sound of a card sliding through the sensor and Parker appearing beside them.
"What are you doing up so late, Parker?" Hodgins yawned.
"I've been working on something for the past week and I want to know what you guys think before I go show Daddy," he said quietly so his father wouldn't be alerted to the fact he was awake.
"Have a seat." Sully rolled out a chair for him.
Parker sat down and immediately informed of them of his idea, "Tag and hide and see all at the same time. Me and my friends call it Tag and seek. I've noticed everyone seemed kind of sad, so I thought a game would cheer you all up. And, if things go as planned, we get Daddy and Dr. Bones together as well."
The three adults glanced at each other and Angela was all for it. All three leaned forward in their seats.
"I think Booth and Brennan will be for it, and you know I am," Angela grinned. "What do you think, boys?"
"I think it'll be fun," Sully's head definitely wasn't going to be hitting the table again for a while.
"If anyone can convince those two to go with the game, you can," Hodgins said happily. Then seriously, "Now, get to bed. You have a long day ahead of you!"
After a quick good night hug, Parker ran back to the room he was sleeping in, with the biggest grin ever on his face.
So much more to come soon. Very soon.
