A/N: Hey all...thanks for being patient. I have every other weekend off so I have several days I can barely get any time in to write. Isn't it great I have this weekend off?! Hope you enjoy and yes my other stories I do plan on updating this weekend.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bones but being between a DB and TJT sandwich would be so warm and toasty right now...


Booth was about to start his shower when he noticed a tea tree oil shampoo was missing from the stall. Going to his bedroom, he searched the top drawer with no success. Moving to search around the room, he saw the bottle sticking out of his garbage can and pulled it out, not noticing Hannah as she came in.

"Seeley, why are you pulling that bottle out of the garbage?"

Booth turned back to his girlfriend. "Why do you keep throwing this out? This is Bones' that she keeps here when we have been working late."

"I don't know….because it doesn't belong here?" She said sarcastically

Booth tried to keep his voice even. "Hannah, we've been through this. Bones has to keep a few things here and I keep a few things over at her place. If it makes you feel better, I'll put it back into her bag in the top drawer. Why does it bother you so much? She's your friend."

Hannah held her temper in. She couldn't lose it now before she got the ball rolling. "Sorry…..I have my moments when I do get a little jealous, but that's stupid because you're right. Temperance is my friend and you love me, not her."

Not giving Booth a chance to respond, Hannah gave him a kiss before walking out. "I have to meet with my editor, so I'm off. Temperance and I are having drinks after work so I'll be home late tonight. "

Booth still felt weird about the two of them being friends, but he knew he couldn't say anything about it. "Sure, Hannah. Have a good day."

"I love you, Seeley"

Booth didn't respond for a minute as the shampoo scent got him caught up in one of his Bones' fantasies. "Love you, too." Booth muttered as he stared at the bottle.

Hannah walked out the door and down to the street as she hailed a cab. Today was definitely the day she took her boyfriend back from that science nerd.


Booth was in the SUV with Bones as they went out to the latest crime scene, a body found near Rock Creek Park. She was reading a paper from Medicinal Physics Quarterly on her IPad while Booth drove.

"Bones, how in the hell do you read things from that tablet? Whatever happened to paper?"

"Booth, our society is evolving. Someday there will be no more newspapers. All publications will be computerized. Andrew agrees with me on this."

His stomach sunk when he heard his boss's name. "Hacker says that, huh?"

"Yes, Andrew does. He says that he is working on efforts to improve the Hoover's recycling program. He's been finding cans and other recyclables just tossed in the garbage"

'The only environment Hacker cares about is the one in Bones' pants.' Booth thought

"He was telling me about his upcoming meeting with Cullen to discuss adding more containers to the hallways for the meta.l"

Booth broke into hysterical laughter as he pictured Hacker doing what he was lying to Bones about. After a moment, his abdomen started to hurt.

"Booth….what is so funny?"

Booth calmed himself down. "Nothing, Bones. It's all good"

"What?"

"Oh look, we're at the crime scene. Time for us to look at dead remains and for you and the squints to play in bones and bodily fluids."

Booth turned off the truck and got out. Bones got out, got her stuff from the back, and followed him. "But Booth, I want to know what is so amusing."


Hannah got out of her cab and walked to a bench outside of the Hoover building in the back. She was early to meet Seeley, but wanted to get here early to finalize her plan for his partnership with Dr. Brennan. She felt a buzz with her phone. When she saw the message, she wasn't happy.

Hannah I have to give you a check for drinks tonight. I am examining remains from a crime scene and sometimes it takes quite a while.

Hannah was momentarily confused until she realized Brennan meant 'rain check'. "Sorry Temperance. I need you tonight for all of this to work"

Hannah got back onto her cell and texted back. not taking no for answer. need time w my friend. 1 drink at FF. plz?

Five minutes later, she felt a buzz again. All right, one drink but it may not be until after nine o'clock. Maybe you can dinner with Booth before I meet you there?

Hannah felt a moment of jealousy, but then blew it off. "Sure…..and of course when you eventually get there you two can get all googly eyed while talking shop or other weird shit and leave me out in the cold? I think not"

i think he has 2 work tonite. will see u at FF around 9

She was finishing her text when she saw someone she needed to talk to very much walking towards the coffee cart. Excited, she got up and headed over.

"Assistant Director Hacker."

"Ms. Burley…..always nice to see you. What can I do for you?"

"I just need a few questions answered, sir."


Brennan was examining her latest remains, a woman who Cam was having trouble finding a cause of death. Hoping to find something with the bones, she so far was also not finding anything definitive. Knowing she may have a late night ahead, she got her phone out and texted Hannah to change their plans.

Almost immediately, Brennan felt a buzz. Surprised because Hannah didn't usually text back right away, she found her phone and looked. When she saw Hannah pleading with her, Brennan was torn. She wanted to solve the puzzle of the bones, but obviously her friend needed her and wanted to spend time with her.

She knew she would always love Booth, but she knew she missed her chance and needed to move forward. Booth's happiness was important to her and she knew it made him happy that she got along with Hannah. Wanting to be a good friend to both, she texted back that she would meet her but suggested Hannah get dinner with Booth so they could spend time together.

When she saw the response, she was surprised because Booth told her he was going to be home watching a game tonight. Obviously, Hannah lived with him and knew better. She felt sad for a moment before she tucked her pain away and went back to her victim. The person laid out in front of her was to be her top priority at the moment.


Hannah was talking to Hacker when she caught Booth out of the corner of her eye looking as if he was searching for her. "Seeley! Over here!"

Booth saw her and his supervisor and walked over. "Hey, Hannah" He kissed her and turned to Hacker. "This is a surprise to see you two here talking."

"Yes, Agent Booth. Your girlfriend was asking me some questions about your latest case. Of course, I told her to attend the press conference I will be having later this afternoon" He turned to Hannah. "Good day, Ms. Burley. Agent Booth, I will need a briefing by three. I will be speaking at four, but then I have to leave to get tickets to see Faust for Temperance and myself."

Booth had to bite his cheek not to laugh. 'A play where someone sells their soul and a mother kills her child. Yeah, Bones will just love that. Good luck getting her into bed after that!'

"Seeley, ready for lunch?"

"Yeah, I'm ready."

The couple left Hacker in the back garden. Hannah asked him questions about his case while Booth gave minimal answers as they left the garden.


Temperance arrived at the Founding Fathers at nine o'clock. She looked around and saw Hannah nursing a glass of wine at the bar. When she got closer, she yelled for Hannah as the place was busy.

Hannah heard her name, turned and smiled. 'Showtime', she thought before motioning her towards a quiet table in the corner. When the ladies sat down, Hannah talked first.

"Temperance, how is it going with that case you and Seeley were working on today? Any progress?"

"No, we still can't find cause of death, but I can't talk about the case anymore, Hannah"

"Of course, of course. So how are things with Andrew?"

"Well, I did enjoy myself at the ballet a couple of night ago. Thanks for letting me know about the Bolshoi Ballet coming here. I saw them before while I was working in Bosnia and they were so wonderful. I'm just glad Andrew was able to get a couple of tickets."

"You're welcome. Anything for a friend" Hannah said through a fake smile that she knew Temperance wouldn't catch. "I want to thank you again for giving me a heads up on the Bakelite phone I gave Seeley. He absolutely loves it"

Brennan felt the knife being twisted, but made herself relax. "It's no problem, Hannah. It's something that Booth has always wanted."

Hannah knew the moment to strike was now. "Temperance, I want to talk to you about something."

Brennan sipped from her red wine. "Of course Hannah."

"I don't know how to start. Seeley thought it was best I talk to you about this, but I am wondering if it should come from him."

Brennan was puzzled. Her and Booth were starting to get back to where they were before that night. If Booth wanted her to know something from Hannah, he must have had his reasons. "Hannah, Booth must have had a good reason for you to discuss it with me instead of him."

Hannah inhaled and exhaled. "Well….our sex life is amazing. I just want to start out with that."

The knife went deeper into Brennan and it was difficult to not feel the pain. "Okay"

Hannah saw the look in Brennan's eyes and had to fight to keep a smile on her face as she feigned reluctance. "Seeley and I have talked about…..exploring our options…..to keep things interesting."

"Hannah, is this really an appropriate conversation to have with me? I do not understand why Booth would want you to discuss how you two have sexual intercourse with me. He's very private about that sort of thing."

"Yes, Temperance, he is, but this concerns you."

"Me?" Brennan felt a wave of nausea in her stomach but she remained and kept quiet so her friend could finish speaking.

"Yes. Recently we decided that…..well…I'm just going to come out and say it. We want to try having a threesome with someone. Booth wants the third person to be you."
