Thank you to all who story-alerted and favorited and reviewed. The correct answer was that Squirt is a drink from a thing on YouTube called A Very Potter Musical. It's funny, go watch it. Rose gets the cookie. Sorry guys, better luck this chapter. By the way, there's no Bones timeline for this just that it's when Cam and Sweets are in it. No Zach, cuz I don't want to write him.

Brennan and Booth arrived at the crime scene arguing about pie. He wanted to know why she would never eat it. She wanted to know why it bothered him so much. They ducked under the crime scene tape and stopped their argument. The local cop came up to them.
"What do we have here?" Booth asked
The cop was obviously trying not to laugh.
"What's going on?" Brennan asked, confused
The cop snorted, "You'll see."
The two looked at each other, with confused expressions, and then walked over to the body. Brennan kneeled down to the body.
"Male. 24. Medium height, thin build. He was very skinny, although it's hard to tell in the shade." She took the skull and laid down the body so it was in the sun.
"Oh my!" Brennan exclaimed
"Wow" Booth said
The body was sparkling. Really sparkling, like it was covered in glitter.
They heard laughter and a voice crying out, "Somebody killed Edward Cullen! Hooray!" It was followed by something sounding like howling hyenas.
Brennan stood up and walked over to Booth, "Who are they?" she said gesturing to where three girls sat on the hood of a Dodge that was parked across the field.
There was the girl who had spoken who had brown, curly-hair sitting on one end, a short-haired redhead in the middle, and a girl with long, black hair sitting on the other end. The girl who had spoken was holding her sides laughing. The redhead was leaning back on her elbows shaking with laughter while she sipped from a glass bottle. The black haired one was holding onto the car while her head was thrown back in laughter. They were all barefoot.
The cop walked up to them and said, "Those are your witnesses."
"Them," Booth asked, "They're just kids"
Brennan added, "They sure aren't freaked out."
The cop chuckled, "Well, Rose, the brown-haired one, her dad is an NCIS agent and Abbey, the red-head, her uncle is also an NCIS agent. Alison tags along with them a lot. They're used to this sort of stuff."
"What's NCIS?" Brennan asked
"It's like the FBI, but they deal with the Navy and the Marine Corps." Booth explained
"Oh, okay." Brennan said, feeling a little less confused
They walked over to the girls who were no longer laughing, instead they were singing.
"Always look on the bright side of DEATH!" They sang, and loudly. Brennan shook her head and chuckled.
"What?" Booth asked.
"Nothing. The song. What it's from. I'll tell you later." Brennan said humming the same tune the girls were singing.
"Just before you draw your terminal breath." They kept singing.
The pair walked up to the girls. "Hello, I'm Agent Booth," he flashed them his badge, "And this is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan."
The redhead said, "Temperance. That's a pretty name. My name's Abbey and that's Rose," she jerked her thumb towards the curly-haired one, "the freak here," she jerked her thumb to the other girl "is Alison. She's a salad."
"A what?" Brennan asked confused
"A salad. A sad and pathetic person." Rose said.
"You guys! Stop it's not funny anymore." Alison complained
Booth surveyed the car, which was stacked with junk food. There were Double Stuffed Oreos, Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter, Red Vines, and a case of Coca-Cola in the old-fashioned glass bottles.
"You guys have a lot of junk food here." Booth commented.
Rose shrugs, "We're thirteen. Just trying to enjoy eating this stuff while we still can." Both Brennan and Booth smiled at that.
Alison chimed in, "Except for Abbey, she'll probably eat this stuff long after we stop. Although, she doesn't eat much, or anything. I mean, she's never had pie!"
Abbey rolled her eyes and took a sip from her bottle. "What's the big deal; I don't eat lots of things."
The other two girls nodded.
Booth turned to Brennan, "So maybe that's why you won't eat pie. You've never had it."
Abbey said, "So I'm not the only one with pie issues. High five!" She and Brennan slapped palms.
Booth turned to her, "Who are you guys?"
Rose looked to Alison who shrugged. They both looked to Abbey who said, "Barefoot girls sitting on the hood of a Dodge."
Booth threw his head back and laughed. "That's funny." Rose, Alison, and Brennan were looking at him funny.
Rose leaned forward, "Ignoring that, we're working with you on this case. That's final. We've already gotten parental consent."
Brennan and Booth looked at each other uneasily.
….
A chance to redeem yourselves. Where did I get Oreos and peanut butter from? Where did I get 'always look on the bright side of death'? Hint it's from a musical. And for a virtual brownie with ice cream, where did I get 'barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge'? Hint it's a song. Review and let me know how I'm doing.
