A/N: Here we are! Bringing in the Bones crew! Might take a little longer to get Chapter 3 up, I really need to start thinking about Perfect Security again. Anyway, Read and Review!

A/N2: So I edited this just a bit in light of...recent events. So if you haven't seen the Bones finale, well, right now what I've changed won't make sense, but I seriously suggest catching up first.

"Hey Bones, you seen Cam?" Booth asked as he strolled into his partner's office.

Brennan looked up from her computer screen, "Yeah, she's in Angela's office last time I checked. Why?"

"We got a case."

"Ok, let me get my stuff and I'll follow you out." She began to stand up.

"That's the thing. I can't use you on this one, at least with the body. Remember that case of the Chinese bride with no bones? Well, we got something almost the same here. No bones. Figured you wouldn't want to tag along..."

Brennan continued her trip around her desk, "It's ok, I feel I could still be of use. You might need an expert there in case any bone fragments are found."

"Don't deny it Bones, you'd just be jealous cause I'll be working with Cam," Booth teased.

"That would be irrational, Booth. With the amount of years we've worked together I wouldn't doubt that we'd still be partners even if you worked with Cam on one case. I simply want to be thorough. And I don't want you to treat me any differently given my...condition." Bones stared into Booth's face with her most earnest face. Booth sighed.

30 minutes later Cam was leaning over the strangest body she had ever encountered in years as a coroner. She remembered the Chinese boneless bride, she had been stitched up all over, but this body had only one unusual opening. The skin across his stomach was separated like a laceration, and there were grooves along the separated skin. There was no sign of blood or an attack. It also looked to her like it wasn't only the bones that had been removed, but organs, muscles, and all other soft tissues. She relayed these observations to Booth.

"So, basically, there's nothing. Great. Any ID?"

"He had a wallet on him. Victim is Senator Bill Gavon, visiting from South Carolina." She handed it to him.

Booth looked in the wallet. "Money and credit cards are still here, so not a robbery. Not that I thought it would be. Serious overkill. Gonna go see if Bones has found any...well, bones."

Booth found Brennan looking closely at a possible piece of bone being shown to her by a crime scene tech.

"Got a bone, Bones?"

Brennan looked up from the sample, "Not this time, Booth. This appears to be a piece of a bird's egg. I'm surprised this crime scene tech even thought it was bone in the first place. The FBI should train them better."

"Well Cam's finishing up, gonna take the body and surrounding dirt back to the Jeffersonian. I could hang around if you want me to, or we could leave if you're feeling tired..."

"I might stay here for a few more minutes, just to make sure no bone fragments turn up. I want to make sure that if any are found, they are handled properly. I'm fine, Booth. But I would like you to stay." Brennan smiled at him, and Booth smiled back.

"Lemme go tell Cam."


"I really wish you wouldn't fiddle with the air controls the whole time. Kept wakin' up to bursts of ice cold air!" Rose complained on the way out of the terminal. They had just landed at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C. Rose had slept most of the way, the Doctor watching her doze on his shoulder before, as she had said, he began "fiddling" with the air controls over their seats.

"I'm sorry, Rose, it's just I'm not used to riding in something without pushing a few buttons or pulling a lever! I got antsy!"

Rose sighed, "Then why didn't you sleep?"

"I can't. You know full well I'm not used to this time-wasting activity you humans participate in on a daily basis! Thanks to superior half-Time Lord physiology, I only need to sleep about 3 hours a day. I got mine before we left, and I'm still going strong, so sitting still for 7 hours 24 minutes and 30 seconds is hard! Sorry for waking you up, though," he put his sad puppy face on. "You are adorable when you sleep."

Rose fought a smile. He knew she couldn't resist when he talked like that. "Alright, alright I forgive you. So where to first?" She entwined her fingers in his, her heartbeat involuntarily speeding up. It's as though her body was still getting used to having the Doctor again.

The Doctor was grinning, having noticed with his acute senses this change. He swooped down suddenly and kissed her right in the middle of the airport, not caring who saw.

Kissing the Doctor was one thing Rose didn't think she'd ever get used to. Sure, she'd love to be kissing him all the time if she could, but his psychic abilities made it completely different to every other experience she'd had in that area. After the second time, hours after Bad Wolf Bay, he had caught her off guard and she'd nearly passed out. Now she couldn't get enough of it.

He had explained after that first episode that most of the time Time Lords could keep their psychic energy at bay, and even kissing with emotion behind would not be enough to call it forth without permission. But because of his half-human traits, her Doctor had less control, so when it came to kissing and other...activities, they were mentally and physically linked. Which made them all the more fun.

A complete collage of emotions and colors would run through her brain like a drug, heightening every emotion and sensation to startling degrees. She could feel their love for each other shared across their minds until she was almost in tears. Rose felt sorry for the rest of the couples in the world that could not share a bond with each other like her and the Doctor shared.

They finally broke apart, resting their foreheads against each other and gazing into each other's eyes and beaming. A beat, and then the Doctor was pulling her by the hand to the exit. Then into a corner out of the way from the other arrivals to D.C.

The Doctor pulled out a small button, yellow like the dimension hoppers, except this didn't punch holes in the universe. "Right, Washington Monument here we come!"

Rose wrapped her arms around his elbow, and he pressed the button. No one noticed the odd couple vanishing on the spot.

"How in the hell did you get that thing past customs?" Rose asked incredulously as she stretched her stiff arms and looked around.

"Repels X-rays. Built it in just in case we needed to get it past security somewhere. Hadn't tested it until then, glad to know it worked. What's going on over there?" He pointed at flashing police lights down the street from the alley they had landed in.

"No. No no no Doctor, I want to be a tourist for once! The Monument's just over there!" she groaned, pointed across the street at the obelisk, "this is supposed to be our vacation, and besides America hates when Torchwood sticks their nose in!" She pulled on the Doctor's hand.

"Can't we just take a look, please? I promise, if there's nothing alien going on we can go back to our vacation and never mention it again. Scout's honor."

"You aren't a Scout."

"I met the man who started the Scouts."

This was going to go nowhere. "Fine, fine, but no aliens, back the vacation, yeah?"

"I love you, Rose Tyler," the Doctor said happily as he pulled her down the street towards the police lights.

A/N: Tehehe I'm teasing you! They WILL meet in the next chapter, I PROMISE! But that might happen quicker if you REVIEW! Go on, will take seconds! Just let me know what you think!
