So, chapter two. Ah yes, I'd like to thank our three reviewers - BonesGirl96, pluvial_somnium and the ever lovely AngelDream05 - thanks girls.
Kelly isn't online, so I can't get her addition to the note for this chapter. She wrote this chapter (and the last one) so all thanks goes to her.

Booth and Brennan quickly made their way through airport security. Dulles is always such a busy place, but making it through security with your own FBI agent partner is a breeze. She really enjoyed what she termed as his 'alpha maleness.' The way he badged people and introduced them, 'Seeley Booth FBI and this here's my partner Dr Temperence Brennan' it always made her giggle inside, although she would never admit it.
They boarded the plane, Booth with his hand on the small of her back. They passed the stewardess who was quite obviously ogling her partner's derriere. Brennan found herself feeling annoyed with the woman, but that would be irrational. Booth didn't belong to her, they were friends and partners, but nothing more….
Booth allowed her to take the window seat and bumped his head on the overhead compartment, "Ouch… man!" Booth said, rubbing his bobbled noggin.
"Well, if you weren't so freakishly tall you wouldn't have hit your head!" she said as she teasingly punched him in the arm. "So are you going to tell me about this case, or leave me in the night until we get there?"
"In the dark Bones, it's in the dark." She knew it was 'in the dark' but she liked the feeling of letting him think he had one-upped her… it was silly, she knew.
"Here's what I can tell you now, there is an international conference going on at this hotel. We were brought in to identify the remains and to handle the investigation. It is always a delicate situation, international folks, state lines and all. They want us to wrap this up as soon as possible so we don't have to detain people for too long."
"Ok Booth…it's getting late, I think I am going to take a nap until we get there, ok?"
"Sure Bones, get some rest, I'll just… uhhh… read a magazine or something."
Brennan shifted over and over in her seat trying to get comfortable. She wanted to put her head on his shoulder and breathe in his comforting scent, but she would never tell him. She loved his smell… that masculine cologne with adrenaline scent she found was almost a drug.
"Bones, you don't look very comfortable. Would you like to use my shoulder?" Booth offered. Brennan nodded and slowly leaned over to her partner's strong shoulder. Her breath hitched in her throat as she inhaled his sensual aroma. Booth slid his arm around his partner and she relaxed and soon was fast asleep. He looked at her lovingly and noticed her upturned lips. 'Aww Bones, why do you have to be so adorable, even while you're sleeping?'
Booth closed his eyes, quite content with his Bones on his shoulder. He inhaled the sweet scent of her lavender shampoo and slowly drifted to sleep.
