"Hey Bones, wake up! We have a case…"

By now, Temperance was too afraid to turn and face the man. Tears slowly emerged from her eyes. By now, she was doing her best not to cry, but it just wouldn't stop. But then, she thought that, whatever or whoever turned back time, it surely was going to give her a chance to see what her happily ever after would have been like had she answered yes to his question. She wasn't taking this moment for granted. She quickly wiped her tears and turned around. Now, here she was, facing the man she loved, seeing him eye to eye. She couldn't even speak. It was like her throat had dried. At the moment her eyes met his, the inevitable happened! Tears cascaded on her cheeks and down to her chin. All she could feel for him now was love. All the hatred in her heart disappeared the moment she laid eyes on him. She realized that a moment like this happened thirty years ago. And now here she was, staring intently at him. How she missed that face, those big brown eyes, that hairstyle, and that smile of his. He was like how she remembered him, after three decades. She closed her eyes and suddenly recalled the day they became lovers.

Booth and Brennan knew that their relationship crossed the line of friendship. In fact, it was more than that now. Temperance realized that she has some feelings for her partner and it was more than mere friendship since the day he took the bullet meant for her. The day she knew that Booth died for her. She just felt that she lost a part of her. She didn't even want to go to his funeral, afraid that her emotions would overcome her and would really show what she feels. But when she found out that he was in fact alive, she punched him in the face. How could he do that to her?

"Temperance, Bones, wait!"said Booth who was by now chasing her. When he finally caught up with her, he grabbed her hands but she tried to free herself.

"Booth, let me go" Temperance said, her voice, trembling.

Booth noticed that she was crying as she was wiping her tears. He put his arms gently around her cheeks and started wiping the tears away from her pale white skin.

"Booth, what are you doing? Get away fro—"

She didn't even complete her sentence for before she even had the chance to, Booth placed his lips around hers. Temperance was shocked. Her eyes widened for a moment and. Her mind told her to fight back her emotions but this time she followed her heart. She didn't try to pull herself away from Booth and instead she closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment they shared a passionate kiss.

She opened her eyes and more tears emerged from it.

Booth didn't understand the scenario. Why was Bones crying? She only cries when something really bad was happening but mostly she tries to swallow and hide her emotions. She was good at that. He figured out that something was wrong. He immediately approached her to see what was wrong.

"Bones, what's the matter?" he asked

"Booth, I…" she couldn't even speak at all. "I…" Before she could even finish what she was saying, Booth wrapped his arms around her and she did too. She hugged him like there was no tomorrow. Her embrace was so tight that Booth could hardly breathe but he didn't complain this time seeing that the situation is bad enough for him to even crack a joke.

Finally, when the tears stopped falling and she could now finally speak, she removed her arms around him and looked at him. A smile was on her lips.

"Booth, it's you" she said, smiling as another teardrop of joy emerged from her eyes. She was looking at him with a smile in her lips.

What is happening? Booth asked himself. Booth didn't know what to say. Here was he, in his partner's office at the Jeffersonian with his partner's hand in his muscular arms, staring at him like she had not seen him in decades with a smile in her face. But before he could say anything, Angela entered the room. A smile flashed on her lips upon seeing Booth.

"Hey honey" Angela said, as she kissed her beau on the cheeks.

Booth smiled back.

Angela's smile quickly faded away when she saw her friend crying.

"Tempe, sweetie, what's wrong?" she asked with a worried look on her face.

Temperance looked with confusion at Angela and Booth. Why was her best friend kissing her partner and looking at him as if they were a couple? No, it could not be! It's impossible. The last thing she remembered was that her best friend and Hodgins were romantic. Did something happen to the past? Temperance, this might be just a dream? The past wasn't like this. This might be just a hallucination. Just a memory from the past being played by the mind in dreams. But this wasn't like the way she remembered it.

"Booth, has my best friend been crying?" Angela asked

"Yes" said Booth.

"Bren, what happened?"asked Angela, who by this knew that something was wrong.

Angela quickly turned her focus on her friend and asked what was making her cry. She noticed that her friend was pale and trembling. She couldn't say anything and could only look at them. Finally, Temperance could not rationalize things anymore. Her head was spinning from all the confusion she was dealing with. She could not take it anymore so she broke down.

"Both of you get away from me!" she said, as she took three steps backward.

Angela tried to approach her but she ran away and left the room. She was so confused that she could not think anymore. Finally she looked sideways and stopped for a while and tried to catch her breath. She noticed that she was now near the platform where she once worked. She looked at it with amazement for one moment. Then she saw somebody walking towards her. It was Zack. She saw him in his blue lab coat holding a chart. He was only inches from her when he spoke.

"Dr. Brennan, I found some evidences in Mr. Ryan's skull that he didn't die from a—"

As she was hearing his voice, she remembered the incident at the lab. The explosion which wounded Zack, and then Gormogon. She couldn't take it.

"NO!" she shouted and then ran away.

She didn't know where to go by now. Again, she looked sideways. By now, she was outside the Jeffersonian.

"Brennan, wait up" Angela shouted.

Angela and Booth were getting close to her, so without thinking she crossed the street…And then, everything went black! The last thing she heard was the panic stricken voice of Angela asking Booth to call 911.
