IceGirl: HEY, HEY, HEY! WE ARE BACK! Bite-Me: THEY GET THE POINT! YOU SAID HEY! GET OVER IT! IceGirl: *pouting* Fine. I'll go sulk on the couch. Bite-Me: Good girl. Now where's Bones? BONES! TO THE DISCLAIMER! Bones: Fine. I'll do the disclaimer but... IceGirl: What? Bite-Me: IceGirl, shut up. Bones: You have to give me the photo you promised. Bite-Me: Fine.

The squints and Jamie walked into the lab arm-in-arm laughing about funny moments that have happened to them over the past 3 years.
"So when we came back, we looked like Clark Kent and Wonder Woman after a really bad date" Brennan finished.
Everyone started laughing even harder at the now-finished story. They stopped in front of the staircase for a moment so they can stop laughing and catch their breaths. Just then, Sweets appeared at the top of the staircase.
"Hey, guys. What's so-WHOA!" Sweets exclaimed as he tripped over his shoelace and fell down the stairs.
After tumbling down a few steps, Sweets finally reached the bottom of the staircase and accidentally knocked Jamie over. Jamie landed on the ground on her back and she gasped as Sweets landed on top of her. Their eyes were wide and they were in a passionate kiss. At precisely that moment, Alex and Booth appeared out of nowhere.
"50 points!" Hodgins and Alex exclaimed at the same time.
As soon as Booth saw Sweets and Jamie kissing passionately on the ground with Sweets on top of her, he immediately went into overprotective-father-mode.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing!" Booth boomed as he pulled Sweets off Jamie and pinned him against the wall.
"Booth, it's OK. Sweets tripped down the stairs and fell on top of me," Jamie desperately tried to reason with Booth.
"Then why were you KISSING!" Alex practically screamed.
Like we explained in the previous chapter, Booth considers Jamie like a daughter. She's also like a daughter to Brennan and a sister to Alex and the rest of the squints...except Sweets who's had a massive crush on her since he first laid eyes on her.
"It just happened, Agent Booth. I swear!" Sweets rasped (Booth is holding him against the wall by the neck).
"Uh-huh. Yeah, sure. I'm buying that," Booth responded sarcastically.
"It's the truth, sweetie," Angela agreed.
Brennan walked up to her partner and gently placed her hand against his forearm. She couldn't help but notice how Booth immediately relaxed underneath her touch.
"Don't scare the boy, Booth," Brennan pleaded.
Not-so-surprisingly, it wasn't the pleadings from Sweets or Jamie that gave Booth second thoughts. It was the pleading from BRENNAN, his partner for 3 years and his secret-lover. (Bite-Me: You had to say that, didn't you? IceGirl: I couldn't help myself. ONWARD! *glares at Bite-me* *sarcastically* Gee. Thanks for getting ME into onward, dude. Bite-Me: You know you love me. *to readers* NOT IN THAT WAY! IceGirl: *sarcastically* No shit, Sherlock.) Eventually, he let the poor psychologist go who crumbled to the floor in a heap gasping for air as he did so.
"Agent Booth, the way you got into your overprotective-father-mode so quickly proves that you consider and treat Jamie as your own daughter," Sweets commented.
"No shit, Sherlock," Booth responded sarcastically.
"That was so cool!" Alex exclaimed.
"Alex, shut up," Jamie warned.
"You know you love me, dude. That's how lovable I am...although I wish I could say that to Booth. But, he tortured me with PAPERWORK! THAT MAN IS EVIL! EVIL, I SAY!" Alex exclaimed.
"Did you have more special coffee?" Jamie asked worriedly.
"Why, yes. Yes I did," Alex responded.
"How many cups?" Jamie questioned.
"Ummm...20," Alex answered.
"SEELEY JOSEPH BOOTH, HOW COULD YOU LET YOUR NIECE HAVE 20 CUPS OF COFFEE VODKA!" Jamie exclaimed in disbelief.
"Whoa. Wait. 20!" Booth repeated.
"So what? I've had more than that before!" Alex pointed out.
"Yeah/true," Booth and Jamie muttured in agreement.
"Jamester, I bet you $50 bucks and a kiss that Alex cannot go one week without coffee. Wanna take the bet?" Hodgins offered to Jamie.
"You can never take my coffee vodka away from me!" Alex exclaimed as she clutched her thermo cup to her chest.
"Why do you always get to make the bets with Jamie?" Zack asked with a slight pout and his arms crossed over his chest like a stubben 5-year-old boy.
"Because I'm cooler than you and if it weren't for Booth, Sweets and Alex, I'd be closer to her than you," Hodgins retorted.
"I accept the bet. Although, the winner has to choose who the loser kisses," Jamie responded.
"Fine by me," Hodgins assured as he and Jamie shook hands.
"That'll be interesting to see. Last time Alex stopped having vodka coffee was 2 years ago for a special party for Jarad," Booth remarked.
"What happened?" Brennan asked.
"He took it away from me. I started acting and dressing girly," Alex pouted.
That caused Jamie to suddenly start laughing and collapse on the floor clutching her stomach and running around like a maniac.
"Gee. I love you too, Jamester," Alex remarked sarcastically.
"Sorry, dude. But the sight's just...," Jamie apologised who couldn't stop laughing.
"She has the cutest laugh," Sweets sighed dreamly.
"Excuse me?" Booth asked whilst giving Sweets a look that said, 'If you hit on her, you're dead.'
"Nothing, Agent Booth," Sweets stuttured.
Just then, a mobile started going off. Everyone started checking theirs and then suddenly realised it was Brennan's phone.
"It's Russ. I have to take this," Brennan announced as she walked away from the group and towards her office.
Booth admired her as he watched her leave. He sighed dreamly which caused Jamie and Alex to smile at each other.
"3, 2, 1," Jamie whispered.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! BOOTH, THERE'S A GUNNER IN HERE AND HE'S LOOKING FOR BRENNAN!" Jamie and Alex scramed.
"What! Where!" Booth exclaimed as he whipped out his gun and started looking around the area.
"PSYKE!" Jamie and Alex shouted as they hi-5ed each other laughing.
Booth put his gun away and glared at the laughing girls. Once they noticed the glare, Alex and Jamie finally stopped laughing.
"They got you that time, man," Hodgins remarked.
'I come home in the morning light.
My mother says when you're gonna live you life right?
Oh mother dear, we're not the fortunate ones.
Oh girls, they wanna have fun.
Oh girls just wanna have fun.'
Everyone looked around when they heard Jamie's cell phone playing Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. They thought the radio has been turned on. Just then, Booth got an idea.
"Hey, guys. You know that karaoke bar the victim sang at before he died?" Booth asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Cam asked.
"Oh God. My uncle's thinking. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Alex exclaimed.
"I think we should make Bones go up on that stage and sing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Sweets, remember how she mentioned that when she was younger, she wanted to be the next Cyndi Lauper?" Booth questioned the psycologist, ignoring his crazy and psychotic niece.
"I see what you're planning, Agent Booth," Sweets announced.
"You're finally gonna confess your dying love for her?" Alex asked hopefully.
"Alex," Booth warned.
"I know, I know. SHUT UP, ALEX!" Alex scolded herself.
"Good girl," Jamie commented.
Alex just shrugged and took another swig of her coffee vodka, which suddenly made Booth and Jamie nervous.
"When?" Angela asked.
"Tonight," Booth responded.
"I've been meaning to dare Jamie to sing there for ages," Alex remarked.
"You know I can't sing," Jamie defended.
"Are you kidding me? You have the best voice," Alex retorted.
"You sing?" Sweets asked surprised.
"I haven't really sung much since my Mum died," Jamie explained.
"Come on, Jamester. Have some fun for a change," Hodgins encouraged.
"OK, OK. But AFTER Brennan has her turn," Jamie sighed defetedly.
"Than it's settled. Tonight, we all meet up at the karaoke bar at 7," Booth told them.
"I'm there," Alex and Zack announced.
"Count us in," Jamie and Sweets told him.
"Like we're gonna miss this," Angela and Hodgins scoffed.
"I've got no plans tonight," Cam assured him.
"Alright. Nobody mention this to Bones, alright. I want it to be a surprise," Booth instructed them.
"Want what to be a surprise?" Brennan asked, which made Booth jump 6-feet and scream like a girl.
"Damnit. That was sooooo a video camera moment!" Alex pouted.
"Alex, did you have more coffee?" Brennan asked, nervously.
"No shit, Sherlock," Alex responded sarcastically.
"Oi! Be nice to my partner!" Booth scolded.
"Whatever, lover boy," Alex muttured.
"Dr Brennan, why don't you take the rest of the afternoon off?" Cam suggested out of the blue.
"OK," Brennan shrugged.
"That was easy!" Jamie remarked.
Booth kissed Brennan and then she left. Angela, Jamie and Alex squealed, which caused everyone else to block their ears.
"Anyways, back to the plan..." Bite-Me: ICEGIRL! I DID NOT SAY YOU COULD STOP SULKING! IceGirl: I stopped sulking ages ago, dude. Bite-Me: YOU ONLY STOP SULKING WHEN I SAY SO! IceGirl: Whatever. *resumes sulking* Bite-Me: Now that's out of the way... Both: REVIEW! Bite-Me: ICEGIRL! IceGirl: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know. *sulks* Bite-Me: Good girl.
