Feedback: Yes please!
Author's Note: Hey, srry it's taken so long to get this next chapter up! I was really sick there for a while and had to have surgery and then I got a little distracted by my Legend of the Seeker fanfic, AND my computer broke down (actually it's still broke, I'm using my old one and then posting using the library's)…among other things. I'm back now and ready to write/type! I've kinda got an idea of where I'm going with this put I'm completely open to suggestions! Anything you would like Booth and Bones to do? Any special dates they should go on? Etc…
Chapter 2: Pleasantly Surprised
Booth flipped the pancakes over, humming slightly to himself. A set of warm arms encircled him from behind and he turned to embrace his lovely new girlfriend.
"And you're sure that Cassie's going to be ok with this?" Booth asked again after giving her another kiss. Brennan rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Of course I'm sure Booth." Booth nodded and took a deep breath.
"Good cause we're about to find out." When Brennan looked up at him confused he nodded toward the living room where Cassie was stumbling in. His keen ears had picked up her entrance before hers. Brennan turned and grinned as she watched her sister half fall onto the couch. Cassie groaned her imaginative blue eyes closed in exhaustion, a lock of her auburn hair falling across her face. She had cut it differently; now it hung in loose choppy layers around her shoulders, Angela called it her rock star look.
"I hate mornings," Cassie moaned aloud. Booth and Brennan chuckled and Brennan set about pouring Cassie some coffee.
"You want pancakes Cass?" Booth asked. Cassie grunted and Bones nodded that the grunt should be taken as a yes. "And I thought I wasn't a morning person…" he muttered. Brennan grinned and walked over to her sister. She waved the coffee near her face and Cassie's hand shot out and grabbed it. She opened one eye and Brennan ruffled her hair.
"You've got one minute till Xena if you're going to watch it," she informed her. Cassie sat up and took a sip of her coffee, taking the offered remote she began to flip through the channels.
"Xena this early?" Booth asked surprised. Brennan nodded.
"It's only on weekends, Cassie reads during the week." Booth shook his head knowing he would never understand this crazy rutine. He began pilling pancakes on to three different plates and then added some strawberries and blackberries to the side. Brennan took two plates and started for the living room, leaving Booth with no choice but to follow. Brennan sat one plate down in front of Cassie and then sat down on the loveseat leaving room for Booth to join her. Cassie seemed to be too focused on the show to notice anything, but that she now had food in front of her. When the commercial break started she looked over at them and grinned.
"Finally brave enough to stay over huh?" she questioned. Booth scowled at her and she stuck her tongue out. Booth replied similarly.
"Very mature you two," Brennan commented picking up a strawberry. Booth looked at Cassie concerned.
"Your really ok with this?"
"Booth, do you really think that you'd still be here if I wasn't?" Cassie asked. Booth nodded at the truth of the statement. The two sisters were fiercely protective of each other, if Cassie didn't want him here then he wouldn't be here.
"So, Xena at nine am Cass?" he asked curiously. "How can you watch sword fights this early?"
"Xena only comes on at this time," Cassie replied shrugging. "If I didn't watch it now then I couldn't watch it at all. And what what's wrong with watching it this early anyway is there a rule that says I can't watch sword fighting at nine in the morning? Besides, I have to go over to Katie's today to watch Alex and Gracie…If I have to get up this early on a Saturday why not watch one of my favorite shows?" Booth shook his head chuckling.
"Sure Cass…that makes complete sense," Booth replied soothingly as if talking to a crazy person.
"It's not supposed to make sense," Cassie retorted scowling. "It's nine o'clock on a Saturday morning, nothing makes sense this early." Booth and Brennan shared a look and started laughing. Cassie went back to watching Xena.
She was not a morning person.

Alright…look at that a new chapter. I'm surprised that I was able to do this. I must be going into over drive cause I'm updating/posting (for the first time) on 7 stories! Wow…I have truly lost it to be working on so many. Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. I really hope I'll have the next one up soon…(how soon depends on how soon we get the other computer fixed)…I'll have a little bit of drama in the next chapter too…ah, but I do love fluff. Oh well, I need some action anyway. (lol..too little sleep, too much caffine..)
