I realized i forgot to mention that I don't own anything besides the plot line. Also thanks for all the great reviews. :)


Angela walked to her best friend's office. It was a Friday, and they had recently decided to take Fridays off, unless they had a case. Okay, Angela had decided this, but Brennan had reluctantly agreed to it. Angela walked into Brennan's office; she had already decided that she was taking her best friend shopping. "Hey, Sweetie. You ready for a day of shopping?"

"Sorry, Ange, but I can't," Brennan answered not looking away from her screen.

"Bren, we don't have a case, and you promised that we could take case- free Fridays off."

"I know. I'm not working. I've decided I need to date again. It's been a few weeks since Andrew and I broke up, and I would like to have male company again." Angela smiled. This was much better than shopping.

"Why didn't you just say that to begin with? I have a whole book of guys I could try and set you up with. Let's start with people you know. There's this sexy FBI who's been eyeing you for let's say about five and a half years."

"You're referring to Booth," Brennan inferred. "Ange, we've been through this we're just partners. And even if I did have romantic feelings for him, he does not feel the same way. He loves me in a 'atta-girl' kinda way."

"That's the biggest load of bull crap I've ever heard. You two are perfect for each other. And he his head over heels in love with you, and you are with him. Everyone in the world knows it. Hell, Bren, you even know it. Or do you just imagine all of those steamy scenes between Kathy and Andy in your books?"

"I use my past experiences to inspire those scenes. And while I admit Andy's character is loosely based on Booth, it does not mean I want to have intercourse with him." Angela was surprised Brennan actually admitted that Andy was based on Booth. She had been denying that her books were based off her friends for years.

"Actually, that's exactly what that means."

"I disagree. Plus I believe that you are relying on psychology, which you know I believe to be a soft science. I have actually joined an online dating service again. This time I am using a service called 'MatchMaker'. It's a new business, and, though it claims it can 'Match You To Your Dream', I am hoping it will just find me a suitable companion." Angela moved behind her friend's desk. She saw the virtual form her friend was filling out. The first thing that caught her attention was the fact Brennan wasn't using her name, well at least not Dr. Temperance Brennan.

"You're using Joy Keenan? Why?"

"I tend to notice when I use my legal name, people do not treat me the same. They are usually large fans, and tend to end up bothering me."

"Okay, but wasn't the point of changing your name to make it so people looking for your dad couldn't find you? I think this would make it really easy to find you."

"Do you think it might put me in danger?" Her friend just nodded. "Then what name would you suggest?"

"I don't know. Let me see something." Angela took over the computer and began to search for names that meant the same thing as her friend's. However nothing shared a meaning with Temperance. Then she typed in Joy.

"Okay, Bren. What about going by Abby Keenan? It has the same meaning as Joy Keenan."

"Do you think it is appropriate?"

"I don't see why not. You'll have to explain the name when you meet a guy, but you'd have to do that with any name besides Temperance Brennan. What else do we need to fill out?"

"What qualities I am looking for and I already filled out what I am like."

"Okay, well, you talk and I'll type."

"I would like an alpha male who is sympathetic and considerate. I would like for him to be courageous and have a tough exterior. However, in reality, he needs to be very sensitive. He needs to have a stable occupation where he excels. As for his appearance, I would prefer that he is well-built. I am usually more attracted to brunette men with dark eyes, who stand over six feet." Angela captured the essence of her friend's ideal man, making a mental note she had just typed at a description of Booth.

"Okay, I put it in plain English. It says 'I'm looking for a guy who is kind, sweet, and brave. He shows the world how tough he is, but can be a softy. He also needs to have a steady job that he's good at. I'm open to all types of guys, but I usually find myself with tall brunettes with dark eyes who are in pretty good shape. So, I'm basically looking for my partner, Agent Seeley Booth.'"

"Ange, you can't have that last sentence!" Angela was surprised at Brennan's reaction. She actually looked panicked; Brennan never panics.

"Relax. I didn't actually put down you were looking for Booth. Though you did describe him."

"That's pure coincidence." Angela just rolled her eyes.

"So are you ready to see who your number one match in the area is?"

"It's highly unlikely that the person I am most compatible with in the area is using the same dating website. In fact it-"

"Sweetie, do you want to see who the website matches you with or not?"

"Oh, yes, I would." The two friends waited for the computer to load. After what felt like ages, the computer showed a list of names and how well they fit Brennan's description. At the sight of the top match, Angela gasped. Brennan's description hit a 100% match. The chance of that was so slim, even Brennan was speechless. Finally Angela spoke- well, more yelled.

"You have to email him or IM him or whatever! Brennan, I know you don't believe in love and soul mates, but this guy could be the one!"

"I know, Ange. It says he's online. I guess I should message him." Brennan didn't know why, but she was nervous about contacting this complete stranger. "What do I say?"

"Start with 'hi'," Angela answered with a 'duh' tone.

Abigal_Keenan: Hi. I'm new to this website, but you are my top match. I was wondering if you would like to converse. I hope I am not being overly assertive by suggesting this.

Brennan now waited for a reply.
