A/N : Ok guys! So as we all (or some of us) saw on Season 3's 'The Wannabe in the Weeds' Brennan can actually sing pretty good. So when I was listening to my ipod earlier I thought *I could make a Bones Fic out of this!* So here ya go!

Disclaimer : Hold on a second... YES- wait... nope. I don't own Bones. But if I did. (;I don't own 'What Can I Say' either. It belongs to Carrie Underwood and the writers.


It had been a long day of work. One of those harsh cases that really took a toll on everyone's nerves. Yep. A child was involved.

She tried to act like it didn't really get to her. But everyone could tell it did.

"So what about a couple drinks?" Angela, of course, was the one to break the tense silence filling the room.

"I should really work on my book. I have to have it done by-" Brennan was cut off.

"Bones. You need to stop working. Come on. What will a couple drinks hurt?"

How was she supposed to say no to that charm smile he was giving her?

"Fine."

Booth smiled even brighter. She couldn't help but smile back.

Angela watched the exchange in awe. If only they would admit how they feel for each other. He could really talk her into anything.

"Ok guys! Let's go." Angela called as she got up and walked toward the front door of the Jeffersonian.

Booth and Brennan stood at the same time. Brennan led the way to the door and Booth walked beside her placing his hand on the small of her back.

They arrived at the bar shortly after 10. They figured they'd stay until midnight and not overdo it.

As they took a seat in a back corner table the heard a voice come over the microphone.

"Hey guys and girls. It's ten o'clock so time for our Wednesday night karaoke to start. Whoever wants to get up on the stage just go see our DJ and you'll be put on the list."

The crowd in the bar cheered. It was pretty full tonight. They guessed it was because of the karaoke.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa guys. There is one twist to tonight's karaoke. We are trying something new tonight so if you put your name on the list you will be randomly paired with a partner and will have to sing a song together. The speakers are now open."

Everyone in the bar was excited. Even Booth and Angela cheered about the new form of karaoke.

"I don't get it. Why would you want to sing with a complete stranger?" Brennan asked obviously confused.

"Sweetie. It helps you meet people. And it's funny." Angela said in hopes that her friend would understand the point.

"Oh. Why don't you go do it?" Booth laughed at Bones' comment for Angela.

"Funny Bren. You know I can't sing!" Angela laughed.

"Come on Ange! Get up there! It's supposed to be funny!" Booth smiled at Angela.

"Why don't you go Booth?" Brennan smiled at him.

"Not a chance, Bones." Booth laughed. "Why don't you go? You can sing!"

"No way, Booth!" Brennan exclaimed. "I'm not going up there!"

"Come on!" Booth gave her his charm smile again.

Uh oh Angela thought. There is no way Bren will say no to him now!

"I guess I could try it." Brennan stated nervously.

Booth did all but jump on the table he was so excited. "Let's go, Bones!"

He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the table.

"Where are we going?" She asked once she had her balance.

"To put you on the list!" Booth replied with a huge grin.

When the got up to the DJ he put her name on the list and the DJ told them she would be singing a song called 'What Can I Say' with a guy named Derek Mason.

"Do you know this one, Bones?" Booth turned to face her.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do." She smiled back a nervous smile.

"Don't be nervous. It's just for fun. You'll do great. Come on let's go back to the table and wait for your turn." He led her back through the crowd with his hand once again on the small of her back.

They sat at the table with their drinks and waited until it was Brennan's turn.

Soon enough the DJ came over the speakers.

"Okay everyone. Here's our next duet. We have Temperance Brennan and Derek Mason singing 'What Can I Say'.

The crowd cheered. Brennan walked up to the stage and came up opposite from Derek. He smiled at her.

He was tall, about Booth's height. He had dark brown hair and dark skin. He was slim, but not weak looking. He had muscles. Actually, he had good sized muscles. If she had to describe him, she'd go with 'pretty hot'.

Brennan and Derek made it to the middle of the small stage and the music began playing.

Brennan looked over to Booth and Angela nervously. Angela gave her a smile and Booth gave her a thumbs up and mouthed 'you can do it'.

She smiled. No turning back now.
