One of the Brightest Stars

Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to Bones or James Blunt 'All the Lost Souls'

Character(s): Zach and Brennan (not fluffy)

Six years ago Zach left the Jeffersonian; to begin with he had developed new technology at MIT and then returned to the profession of Anthropology publishing many journals and became a famous Doctor of the twenty first century. At one point it was impossible to pick up any scientific magazine or journal with out reading his name.

One day your story will be told.

One of the lucky ones who's made his name.

One day they'll make you glorious,

Beneath the lights of your observed fame.

Brennan sat at her desk typing away; she lent over to reach a pen, accidently knocking over some paper work. As she picked up the pieces she noticed her old grad student on the cover of a magazine. She was so proud of him; he had managed to break through all his social and self conscious issues, many had no direct knowledge of his younger years. But she knew that with his success and the world the lived in today they would surface and she hoped that the revelation wouldn't discourage him in any way. She missed her genius who she considered her little brother, she remembered watching him grow out of his insecurities. He reminded her of a baby bird afraid to fly, that would avoid and approach the edge of the nest, edging closer and closer, until eventually they leave the nest, flying gracefully and would turn out to be the most beautiful of all.

And it all comes around.

Once in a lifetime like it always does.

Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,

Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.

And they'll say I told you so.

We were the ones who saw you first of all.

We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.

The 'squints' had become her surrogate family and she loved them all in different ways, for Zach it was raw emotion, he had been in some ways reminded her of herself. Scared of the outside world; she hid her emotions as she had trained herself to do over the years, but Zach had learnt how to live in the world even though he felt uncomfortable in it. But the connection between them was more than admiration, she had seen him grow and helped him, to her he was like the little brother she never had.

She always knew there was something Zach that intrigued and inspired everyone who truly knew him. That even though his face was completely serious, there was a spark in his eye whenever he had discovered something, or shared his knowledge. They all treasured their moments with Zach because they knew that although he had become comfortable at the Jeffersonian he had secret ambitions he wanted to complete.

One day they'll tell you that you've changed,

Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare.

One day you'll hope to make the grave,

Before the papers choose to send you there.

She couldn't believe how much he had changed, the shy, self conscious, squint scared of the outside world had shed his fears and become part of the world. When ever she read about him in the forensic journals, she couldn't help but stare at his picture with awe; she dreaded the day he was no longer recognised by the publishers and will be buried in the lab, until or if they chose to revive his status.

And it all comes around.

Once in a lifetime like it always does.

Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,

Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.

And they'll say I told you so.

We were the ones who saw you first of all.

We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.

But to her he will always be her brilliant irreplaceable grad student turned work colleague, and she would always remember him and thank him for not following in her foot steps. She remembered her own words on a previous case come back haunt her; she was glad that he had learnt to live in the world and not on it, like she fooled herself everyday.

And they'll say I told you so.

We were the ones who saw you first of all.

We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
