~*R&R and anyone who does will get a virtual Booth bear!*~

Dr. Temperance Brennan couldn't concentrate. It was late and the Jeffersonian Medico-Legal lab was nearly empty. The other inhabitants were currently making loud clanging and drilling noises. She stared at the blank word document for a second longer before going to investigate.

Raising a brow she found the noise's origin to be her best friend Angela's office. She stepped into the cluttered office noticing right away the mass of wires and tubbing where the angelator had once stood.

"Fire it up!" Hodgins call's from below the machine. The machine hums to life shooting a beam of light right at her, knocking her off her feet and into unconsiouness.

Angela turned off the machine after hearing a small thud. Looking around she saw the small form of someone on her office floor. Tearing off her protective goggles she ran over to the small body. "Oh god, HODGINS!"

Jack Hodgins never ran so fast in his life. He was by Angela's side in what felt like a flash. He looked a the body on the floor and nearly fainted. A six year old little girl lay on the floor in a pile of over sized cloths, her alburn hair splayed out as if she had been knocked backward.

"I think...I think this is Brennan." Angela says, shocked. Just as Hodgins was about to replie little Brennan stirred into consiousness. "Sweetie?"

"Ange...what happened?" Brennan asked, her voice young a crisp though her missing front teeth caused a small lisp when she spoke.

"I don't know, can you tell me the last thing you remember?" Angela asks and Brennan thinks for a second.

"Coming in here...to see what all the noise was about." Brennan sat up with a small frown. Her body felt different. When the neck of her shirt slipped away she moved quickly to regain some form of cover, pulling her blue jeffersonian lab coat up she blushed. "What happened to me?"

"It's a long story, lets get you some cloths first Dr. B." Hodgins suggested and Brennan had to agree, she couldn't talk to them half naked. "I'll have someone deliver something."

Nearly an hour had gone by before a weary looking man brought a few bags full of cloths to Angela's office. Hodgins was muscled out of the office while Angela turned her back to give the little doctor privacy. Brennan looked down at her cloths, a blue t-shirt that was just a little to long and a pair of dark blue jeans that covered her feet half-way. Luckily the man had remember to buy under garmets, socks, and a pair of red converse.

"Now can you tell me what happened?" Brennan asked impatiently crossing her arms. They had decided to move to Brennan's office to store her larger cloths. Sitting on the couch Brennan scowled at her feet that only just met the edge of the couch.

"We were working on projecting youth onto someone...you know give some old person a good time before they died. You stepped into the energy source and it kinda..." Hodgins trailed off under Brennan's steely glare. The child looked demented. Her shining baby blue eyes seemed to hold a vast knowledge no other child held.

"Can you fix me?" Brennan asked looking to Angela.

"The system will reverse itself in about a week so you should be fine. In the mean time your Hodgins' neice." Angela says and Brennan makes a face.

"What are we gonna tell Booth?" She asked with a worried expression that nearly melted the two adults.

"Tell Booth what?" A voice said from the doorway. All three head swivled around to see Booth standing in the doorway. His hair was mussed up and he was wearing pajama's. "Where's Bones?"

"Umm...uh she went...to Hawaii! She went to Hawaii!" Angela says a little to quickly. Booth didn't buy it one bit.

"She left on a book tour late last night. Angela was supposed to keep it a secret because Dr. B wanted to surprise you with her manuscript." Hodgins explains with a quick cover story.

Booth seemed to believe Hodgins but his eyes fell on the little girl watching him from the couch. "Hello there I'm special agent Seely Booth ma'am." He says in a mock authority tone, kneeling in front of her.

Brennan crossed her arms, "I'm not an invalid you don't have to speak to me as such."

Booth seemed taken aback, "Have you been hanging around Bones?"

Hodgins and Angela were frantically shaking their heads behind Booth's back. "In a way yes." Brennan finally answered with a confused glance to the two.

Booth grined as Hodgins decieded to explain, "This is my neice Jessica, she's staying with me for awhile."

"Cool. So Bones when did you revert to a kidergarten kid?" Booth asks, somehow keeping a straight face.

"It was Angela and Hodgins' fault!" Brenna exclaimed pointing at them.
