HI all ...

I know some people out there have been wondering if I fell off the side of the planet. But I DIDNT, actually. The only reason that I didn't continue writing the story for such a long time is that my mom's lap top was stolen and in the face of that injustice, my computer days were put on hold. But now I am at school where I have access to a computer and so I can continue. Oh, and my friend said I should do this disclaimer thing so here we go...

Disclaimer: Have you had this story in your possession the entire time (patting me down)

Virtue: Yes sir, I have.

Disclaimer: Are these characters yours?

Virtue: Uh, no. They're actually FOX's. I was hoping I could borrow them.

Disclaimer: As long as you do them justice that's fine. Please step this way. And by the way... nice calves

Virtue: Thanks, I guess. (Whisper: What a weirdo!)

Special agent Seely Booth wanted to know why everybody in the Jeffersonian had taken to staring at him as he walked in that morning. He was about to give one of them a piece of his mind when he looked in a reflective surface and saw for himself.

There was a large red stain on his tie.

"Aww, nuts." He exclaimed. Why did crap like this only happen when you're running late? Hopefully he could find a replacement in his car somewhere, after he got Bones.

He walked into Squint Central, focusing on his tie and not looking properly around the room.

"Bones," he said without looking at her, "here is some advice. Never eat pizza for breakfast. Look at this; I have sauce where sauce shouldn't be."

"Want me to help you lick it off?"

"No, thank you but- what?"

That's when he finally looked around the room. He saw Zach, Jack, Angela, Bones and... Wait a minute. He had to close his eyes and shake his head to make sure that he didn't just see two Bones standing beside each other! But when he opened them, they were both still there. One was the Bones he was used to in a crisp white shirt and a grey skirt that clung to her for dear life and the other was in a pink top, the collar slit so far he didn't need his imagination and a pair of jeans that looked like they were painted on.

"Did somebody slip something into my Root Beer this morning?" he asked.

The new Bones smiled. His Bones shook her head.

"No, this is my old schoolmate Basia Thomas. She came here to... well she was just about to explain that. Basia this is my partner, Agent Seely Booth of the F.B.I."

If it were possible, the new Bones-Basia- smiled wider.

"Oh, so you're the Booth I've heard so much about." She walked closer to him, closing in on his personal space. Booth had to back up because she was almost touching him.

"Basia." Bones said in a warning voice.

"Hm?"

"You still haven't explained why you're here."

"Oh yeah. That." She held onto Booth's tie and he flinched besides himself. She giggled

"Down, boy. Don't worry. I have some Tide to Go in my bag." she unknotted the tie and headed over to a large blue bag where she got the stain remover and started to work on Booth's tie.

" Well, it all started when me and this guy named William started to go out. He was tall, handsome, bright, looked so darn good in a pair of jeans. You know those guys who- "

"Get on with it, Basia." said his Bones.

"Okay. Well, I had a pair of twin nieces named Thandie and Talia. They used to come over to mine and Will's house. So, one day I had to go to some stupid meeting that was so ..." she sniffed, "I didn't have to go. I thought that because Will really seemed to like them and they liked him that he would take care of them.

"When I came back I saw Will digging in the back yard, but I didn't think anything of it because the girls had asked me to make a garden around the back yard for them. They had asked me to get Pop Tarts for them. I mean, who eats Pop Tarts?"

"I do." said Jack and Zach in unison. Basia looked at them and smiled.

"Oh, that's so cute. I went looking for them. All over the house I looked. No sign of them any where. I asked Will but he said he left them in the house. The only logical explanation I had at the time was that they ran away. But why would they, you know? I called my sister and the police and we have been searching for them ever since.

"They would have been twelve now. Since then, Will and I broke up. But the other day I was walking my puppy Miles and he started digging in the garden. He took out a bone and Temps, it looked human."

"Oh, no." said Angela.

"I don't wanna suspect him of anything, but doesn't that suspicious to you?" Basia asked, almost pleading.

"It sounds a hell of a lot more than suspicious," Bones declared what was on all their minds, "it sounds like a case."

"Case?" Basia asked, "What kind of case?"

"An F.B.I case, of course."

Basia's face brightened, "Oh, really? You'll help me?"

"Sure." He grabbed the new Bones by the elbow and his Bones by the hand, "I just have to carry you to F.B.I headquarters to give a statement and if he's left the state, we will have a legitimate case"

"He's living in Maryland now in his mom's old house." Said Basia as Booth dragged the two of them to the door.

"So why the heck am I going?" Bones asked, "And why are you dragging me like you own me?"

They exited the room, leaving Angela Zach and Jack behind.

"Did you understand what just happened?' asked Angela.

"A tear in the space-time continuum?" Zach offered.

"Whatever it is" said Jack with a smile on his face, "that Basia girl is HOT!"

Zach didn't miss it this time when Angela pushed him off the chair.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who took time out to compliment me on this story. I promise to not keep you in the dark so long again. And actually, I have no explanation of why they look alike other than the fact that Basia is Bones' mirror image, doing everything opposite to what she would do. Less lame explanations are welcome.
