In the lab, Booth waits on the platform impatiently tapping his foot and soon Bones comes along and becomes slightly curious about his fidgeting.

"Why do you look so anxious Booth?"

"Nothing Bones, I'm just… waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"You'll just… you'll see."

"Why don't you just tell me?"

"Bones, you're not helping."

"I was just asking because…

"Hey, there she is!"

"BOOTH!" yells a young girl running towards him with her arms open. He picks her up as they share a hug in which everyone in the lab stops to watch; wondering who she is. She kisses him on the cheek as he sets her down.

"What have you been up to kiddo?"
"I received an internship at the Jeffersonian so I can do my anthropological research."

"So that's what you've been doing for the last three years?"
"Yeah, after we lost contact- I just figured I try to find you again somehow."

"Well, I'm definitely glad you did," he says as he lays a kiss on her forehead. They share another moment of recognition and Bones comes forward to introduce herself.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Brennan."

"Hello! You must think I'm so rude. My name is Charlotte and I know exactly who you are. I've been reading your books and learning about your work here at the Jeffersonian."

"Thank you," Bones replies still wondering who she is.

"Let me introduce you to the gang," Booth says as he takes her by the arm and they exchange talk trying to make up for lost time. The crew gathers around as Booth introduces each one: Angela, Cam, Zack, Sweets…

"That's just about everyone, except Hodgins, but he'll be here later I'm sure."

"Well, it's nice to meet you all and I can't wait to get started." Angela gives her a tour around and helps her put her stuff away.

"So Charlotte, how do you know Booth?"

"Oh, he was there for me when I was a kid. Not really that important- he's just a great guy."

"That he is," Angela replies as she thinks about what Booth could've done to help this girl.

The crew leaves for lunch, but Charlotte insists on staying because she wants to get acquainted with everything, so Booth hugs her once more and exits with the rest of the team. She smiles until they're out of sight and then looks around her in sheer amazement at the fact that she was finally here; she was going to be a part of the Jeffersonian. While getting settled in the office she shares with Angela she can't help but play some music as she starts organizing her files and gets caught up in the lyrics. Suddenly there's a loud knock on the door frame and in comes Hodgins laughing and introducing himself over the music. Charlotte stutters and bumps into the desk trying to turn off the music before finally being able to compose herself and say hello.

"Glad to see you're already settling in," he says as he thinks about who she is and why she's here.

"I guess you could say that… sorry I didn't know anyone was here."

"There's nothing to apologize for."

"Oh, I'm Charlotte by the way. I'm a friend of Booth's."

"What kind of friend?" He says before thinking about taking it back.

"Well, you guys certainly are curious around here," She says slightly taken aback.

"No, I didn't mean to- forget I asked. I'm sorry," he says hoping he hasn't scared her off just yet.

"It's fine. Let's just say that he helped me out once before and every since then we've been really close."

Hodgins nods and exits the room with a smile and for some reason there was something about her that made him smile all the way back to his office. Charlotte sighed and laughed at her stupidity, thinking about her first embarrassing encounter of what she was sure to become many in her time here at the Jeffersonian.
