Name: Tyler Hodgins

Age: 23

Nick-name: Ty, TT

Info: Tyler is Hodgins's cousin from Michigan. Crazy as it sounds she knew Zack when she was little. They were both attending their advanced classes together and where both really close friends. When she was 18 she was forced by her dad to study in Egypt until she was 21. Then when she turned 21 she decided to explore the world. Now she is 23 and back to stay. She applied for a job at the Jeffersonian.

I got off my plane and smiled. Today was the day I would see Zack and Hodgins. Smiling I called a cab and rode to the Jeffersonian. I was and still am terrified of cars but I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. When I arrived I handed the cab driver the fare and a tip before walking through the doors.

"How may I help you?" the guard asked at the front desk.

"Uh yes I am here to talk to a….Dr. Brennan and visit Dr. Zack Addy and Dr. Jack Hodgins." I stated.

"Uh yes of course, here is a visitor pass and key card. Just walk straight to the elevator and to the second floor." He instructed. I nodded and walked slinging my bag over my shoulder. When I entered through some sliding glass doors on the second floor I saw Zack and Jack standing on an observation deck. It looked like they were racing beetles… same old dorks. I smiled as I came up with an evil plan.

"You two are such dorks! Come on racing beetles? I thought you where over that stage Zack!" I shouted crossing my arms across my chest. The two looked up in shock.

"TYLER!!" Jack shouted running off the platform with Zack. They both tackled me to the ground.

"Nice to see you too," I laughed. "Uh…can you two…well…GET OFF!" I yelled jokingly. They laughed and got off of me.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were exploring the world?" Jack asked stepping back a bit.

"I was, but since Christmas is in a few days and I missed home. Don't get me wrong exploring the world is fun and all but I missed you guys!" I yelled hugging them. "Oh and there's one more thing…" They both pulled away.

"What?" They both asked.

"I applied for a job here," I smiled.

"Really that's great!" Jack shouted hugging me. Zack smiled in the back ground, but soon he was back with the bugs.

"What don't tell me Zack, you aren't happy that I'm going to be here?" I stated. Trying to get on the platform, but I failed. An alarm went off making me reacted in a….bad way. I had stepped back and was in a defensive position. Jack laughed and slid his card through the slot and the alarm turned off. Zack faced me.

"I am definitely happy, but I wanted to make sure Ollie and Jack Attack didn't get way," I laughed at the names. "Yes those are their names, Jack named the one…." I looked at Jack.
"What!? I thought that it would help him win…" He stated looking around.

"Did it work?" I asked.

"No….Zack is the King of the Lab…" I laughed and hugged Zack.

"Hahaha nice maybe he'll shut up about that stupid thing now!" I smiled hugging Zack tighter, Zack didn't react well. He was tense and wasn't hugging back.

"H-how about we go take a look at my robot….or something!" He stated pulling me off of him. 'Same old Zack,'

"Sure…come on Hudgy!" I said grabbing his hand before following Zack. Jack rolled his eyes. Zack led us to his lab where he picked up a little robot. He placed it on the counter. It started walking.

"Stop," but instead of doing what Zack asked in did some flips. I giggled with Hodgins. "Stop!" He shouted a bit louder placing his hands as if he was using the force. Zack then sighed and stated, "Turn." Then the robot stopped.

"Hahaha it reminds me of you Zack! You tell it turn it stops, you tell it to stop it turns and when you ask it to take out the trash it watches reruns of Firefly." Jack laughed. Zack mumbled something before trying to fix the robot. Jack then picked up some pure alcohol and smiled.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked Jack smirking.

"Total, pure alcohol and eggnog equals the greatest party ever," he smiled.

"Oh I was thinking about spiking Zack's daily mac and cheese…" I frowned.

"W-What!?" Zack yelled. I laughed and hugged him.

"I was just kidding Zacky." Jack rolled his eyes pulling me off Zack.

"Come on let's go and spike some eggnog!" Jack smiled before walking out.

"Mr. Addy will you do me the pleasure of being my escort?" I smiled holding out my arm.

"S-sure, Ms. Hodgins," Zack stuttered taking my arm and following Jack.

"Is that pure alcohol?" A voice from below asked. I looked around then down. There was Dr. Temperance Brennan. "And who is this?" Zack looked at me and Jack.

"Y-yes it is Dr. Brennan," Jack and I glared at Zack. "And this is Jack's cousin Tyler."

"Oh well Zack I need you to clean these bones," Dr. Brennan stated.

"Now?" Zack asked in shock.

"Hahaha burnt!" Jack and I stated before we started a few more CMs father.

"And I need you to check the clothes for insect evidence," I looked down.

"No party?" I asked. They both nodded.

"No you people listen to me, there is a party going on upstairs, a Christmas party. We are going upstairs and talking to people, and have fun. You are going to kiss me under the mistletoe," she pointed to the man I guess was their FBI buff. The lady then turned to us, "I might even kiss you two, too-who are you? Never mind," she turned back to Dr. Brennan, "I might even kiss you under the mistletoe in a festive non-lesbian manor. But we are going to that party!" She turned away.

"Who was that?" I asked following them back to Zack's lab.

"Angela, she's the normal one out of all us." Jack stated.

"Here put this on, I'm taking some pore samples," I nodded and put the stuff on, but had some trouble with the mask.

"Zack?" He turned to me and laughed at bit. "…Help…?" He nodded as he started fiddling with the mask until it was on my face properly. "Thanks Zack…hahaha I sound funny!"

"You look funny too!" I turned and glared at Jack.

"Ha-Ha-Ha so funny I almost forgot to laugh!" I joked turning back to Zack.

"Ready? I'm about to take pore samples, so Jack put a mask on." Zack stated picking up the saw.

"Ok," Jack stated. Zack started drilling and I saw Jack take his mask off to drink. I slapped him, but then an alarm went off. The guys went wide eyed. Jack grabbed my arm dragging me to the decontamination shower. 'This can't be good,' I thought to myself.
