Chapter 2

Temperance stepped into the passenger side of Angela's car. Angela had just finished putting the presents in its trunk and was coming around to the driver's side. Temperance shut the car door, set the plate of cookies on her lap and buckled her self into the seat. Angela started up the car and they began what seemed to Temperance, the longest car ride ever.

"So let's hear about this wild and nice dream you had."

"Angie please can we forget I ever said that."

"Hmmm… Nope!"

"Well its too bad I'm not about to tell you"

"Well its too bad I'm prepared to pester you about it until the day you die if you don't"

Temperance sighed at her friend's stubbornness.

"Come one I want to know what happened!"

"Have you ever thought you might be too nosey"

"Not at all"

Another sigh.

"Come on it'll be our little secret"

"Promise"

Angela extended right pinky toward Temperance, who crossed it with her own. Angela laughed.

"What?"

"I just think its kinda funny that two grown woman are pinky promising each other about a secret"

Temperance laughed this this time "It does seem a bit illogical."

"Ok now spill!"

"Spill what?"

"Never mind just tell me what happened…"

"Well err…" It wasn't like her to stutter but she just couldn't find a way to tell Angela about her dream. Angela waited patiently for her to continue but had an anxious look in her eyes that screamed HURRY THE HELL UP AND TELL ME ALREADY! "Err.. Booth and I sort of…" Her face boiled with embarrassment. "…had sex"

"WHAT?!" Angela was shocked beyond that word and completely lost the wheel nearly crashing them into several other cars. Temperance shielded the cookies so they wouldn't fall off the plate.

"ANGELA!"

"Sorry that was just… wow."

"You can't tell anyone ok."

"Of course I wouldn't."

"You better not"

After the long drive Angela's car found its resting point in a parking space at the Jeffersonian. The two quietly walked into the building trying not to mention the conversation they had in the car. They walked into the lobby to be greeted by Cam, Jack, Lance, and Seeley. Temperance couldn't help but blush slightly when she saw the FBI agent. Uhg! I'm not going to be able to be alone with him without having my face look liked boiled lobster. Angela noticed the fact that Temperance's face was getting redder by the second and quickly nudged her to try and tell her so. It took awhile but Temperance finally realized the message her friend was trying to get across and quickly fixed her face the best she could. Through out the course of the party Temperance made sure to stay at most five feet way from Angela so she couldn't be alone with Seeley. The hours passed by rather quickly and soon enough it was time for the gift exchange!
