Hiya folks! I promised there would be another chapter if people asked me to write one, so here it is! It's much shorter than the previous but it's only a piece of the party yet. I haven't had time to write any more so the rest will be up later, if people are still interested. I still have to write it so it might take a while. I'm in the middle of my exams so I should be studying. I hope there aren't too many mistakes in here but I just finished the last part of it and it's already pretty late so I'm a little tired. I have no Beta-reader and I only quickly overread it myself, so I apologise if there are some errors.

Oh and I just wanted to say something about the first chapter. If there are any Sully fans here, I hope they won't hate it that I kinda made him the bad guy here. It's not that I hate him, but this popped into my mind and well I guess someone has to be the bad guy in a lot of stories. This time it became Sully, maybe because he was the one Brennan had the longest relationship with in all the seasons of Bones. Anyhow I didn't want to make Sully look to bad, he's not really one of my favourite characters, but in fact he was a good guy. So sorry to the Sully fans!

And now back on with the story, enjoy!


At 6 o'clock Booth was finishing up. He'd taken a shower, shaved himself and had looked for some clothes. He didn't know what to expect so he just went with what would be comfortable.

So suits were out of the question, he didn't feel like wearing something like that. Eventually he settled with a nice jeans and a rather navy blue shirt with his favourite black leather jacket on top.

He put his hair in order and quickly checked himself out in his mirror. He took a pair of shoes out, put them on and went back to Bones, who was waiting in his living room.

She still had to stop at her apartment to change, so they had to move on.

He held up his hands questioningly, asking her if he looked okay. She took him in for a moment and smiled. "Perfect. Okay let's go, Angela's going to kill me if I arrive like this!"

They drove to her apartment in a comfortable silence, her right hand on top of his left one the whole time.

She parked the car in the parking lot and they made their way to her apartment as quick as possible.

Brennan showered in record time and put her closet doors wide open. She sighed. "Now what am I going to wear?" She looked through the entire closet, but no decision had come.

Eventually she settled with a dark blue dress, coming just above her knees, with pearls on the collar. She searched for her black bolero, which had sleeves coming just to her elbow and were a little puffy. She put some simple accessories on and took out a pair of black stilettos.

She quickly went back to her bathroom to do her hair and make-up. She dried her hair, letting it curl naturally and loose, except in the front she pulled it back a little with some hairclips. She put some soft make-up on, rosy lips, a little mascara, a line of brown eyeliner, light blue eye-shadow and a little light brown blush.

She ran back to her bedroom and turned around for her large mirror.

When she entered her lounge Booth's mouth practically fell open. "Wow Bones, you look absolutely beautiful!" She smiled shyly. "Thanks."

He continued staring at her for a second and she just stood there, until he got a grip of himself again.

"Okay we should get going if we want to make it on time." Brennan nodded and followed him to the door, which he held open for her. He was giving her such a ridiculous look that she just couldn't stop her laughter instead of scoffing at him for his alpha-male tendencies. They were both laughing all the way to the car.

When they entered Hodgings's villa, Booth guiding Brennan with his hand on the small of her back, they were both instantly shocked.

It appeared that Angela had invited practically everyone they knew, very well or even only a little.

They didn't get much time to get over the surprise, Angela's squeal got them out of their reverie. She hugged a very surprised Brennan tightly. "Sweetie you're here, and you look absolutely hot! You too hot stud!" She moved from Brennan to Booth, hugging him as well.

"Angela I thought you said we had to celebrate this with the team!" Booth joined in, "Yeah, you didn't mention half DC would be here!"

Angela just smiled smugly. "Well this was huge news, it needed a huge party!"

Brennan and Booth just shook their heads. "So how are you guys now? You know after the whole Sully thing."

Brennan looked at Booth before answering. "We're fine, it was just a shock, but we're okay now." Booth nodded and smiled at her.

At that moment the rest of their team ran up to them, all in a happy and loose mood. They all greeted Brennan and Booth. "Nice to have you back G-man!", "Good that you have your memory back Agent Booth, I'd like to talk about this in our next session.", "Jeez Doctor Sweets, this really isn't a time to discuss that.", Cam added. Sweets shot them an apologetic smile.

"Alright," Angela butt back in, "drinks and food are over there, as you can see there's plenty of room to sit, I know you still have to rest a lot, but as you can see there's also a great dance floor just screaming your name! So don't forget to dance!"

With those words Angela left to go entertain some other guests, Hodgins followed her while the rest of the team and a few other people who had joined them asked Booth a few questions.

After 15 minutes Booth became a little tired and excused himself. Brennan politely chatted a little longer and went to find Booth afterwards.

She got them a drink and squinted over the room in search of her partner. It didn't take her long to spot him, sitting on one of the couches, talking to a pretty blonde Brennan didn't know.

I already don't like her, Brennan thought, she kept looking a few more seconds. Don't be so irrational, you don't even know her, how can you know you don't like her? Still she felt like pushing the girl of the couch, away from Booth.

She thought about this for a moment and she almost laughed at herself for acting so ridiculous, she couldn't be jealous, could she?

It's not like Booth would be interested if she tried anything, there's no need to be worried. She actually convinced herself this time and didn't really know if she should go over to them and join the conversation or if she should just wait until the girl left. But then again, was that girl going to leave just like that anytime soon?

While she tried to make up her mind Booth spotted her, standing in the middle of the doorway that lead from which was usually the living room to the dining room, and his smile grew wider instantly.

Brennan didn't notice, she was still debating with herself. Booth excused himself and walked over to where Brennan was standing. "Bones?" She was so startled that she almost dropped their drinks.

Booth watched her in amusement. "What was that pretty little head of yours thinking about this time?" She quickly recovered and smiled at him. "Oh it's nothing, nothing important."

She handed him his drink and he thanked her silently. He took a few sips of his drink and placed it on a table, he took her drink out of her hands and placed it next to his. "May I have this dance miss Brennan?"

"It would be an honour." He took her hand and led her to the dance floor.

A new song was just starting, a ballad that sounded familiar to Brennan but she couldn't quite place it. Booth took her in his arms and they started swaying to the music.

In the other room Angela ran up to Hodgins. "We need to get them to dance! I will not rest until they do at least one smokin' hot slow together!"

Angela strode to the door and Hodgins practically had to run to keep up with her.

When they ran through the doorway Hodgins grabbed her by the arm, trying to stop her. She looked up at him, questioning her with his eyes what was wrong. He gestured towards the dance floor.

Angela let her eyes dart over the dance floor until she saw her favourite non-couple amongst a few other dancing couples.

At first she wanted to squeal, then she changed her mind and became more serious. "Alright, what's going on here? I didn't even have to order them to dance, let alone drag them on the dance floor myself! Something's going on here and I want to know what it is!" She had a very suspicious look on her face.

"Who's the conspiracy theorist now?", Hodgins questioned, brows furrowed.

She just gave him a look, he sighed, knowing she wouldn't let this go. "Okay I know you really have to interrogate them about all of this but at least let them finish their dance first, okay?"

Angela gave in and settled herself in a chair nearby the dance floor so she would see it when the partners came back, she wouldn't give them the chance to escape.

Brennan and Booth were so lost in each other that they didn't even notice another song had already started.

"I love you", Booth whispered in her ear. Brennan smiled into his neck, "I love you too and I'm glad I finally said it."

They finished the song and decided to go and sit down a little while.

They were shocked when Angela jumped up right in front of them all of a sudden. "Jezus Ange, you scared me half to death!"

Angela just cut right to the case. "Alright spill it!"

Booth and Brennan looked at each other, not understanding. "I don't know what that means."

Angela wasn't going to let her best friend get away with it that easily this time. "Don't give me that sweetie. What is it with you two? I was just about to drag you two to the dance floor when Hodgins showed me you were already there!"

If possible Brennan looked even more puzzled. "I thought you said we could dance, now you're angry because we danced without your permission?"

Angela wondered if she was just playing dumb or if she really didn't get the point. "Of course you're allowed to dance sweetie! It's just that normally you wouldn't do such a thing without some pushing. So I wondered what has happened between you two…"

Brennan tried to look so surprised and irritated as possible, fake innocence she told herself. "Ange I already told you that Booth and I are just partners. How many times do I have to explain this to you?"

Angela narrowed her eyes, examining the faces of both her friends. Although she still wasn't convinced, she decided to let it be, for just now of course, she would come back to this later.

When Angela left them alone again Brennan sighed and when she and Booth looked at each other they started laughing again. "We aren't going to be able to keep this from her very long, are we?"

Booth shook his head. "But you know, I'd rather tell them myself, all at one time, instead of feeling like we have no choice because Angela's questioning us like we're suspects in some murder investigation. At some point she's probably going to make us slip and say something that betrays us. "

Brennan nodded. "Yeah I'd rather just tell them too instead of being exposed."

Booth grinned at her. "Or show them…" He leaned in dangerously close to her and she patted him on the chest playfully while laughing. "No wonder people get suspicious."


okay, so that's it for now. I thought this was a good point to end this chapter. I decided to stop writing today and if I stopped here I could already post something for you guys. Please hit that review button and let me know what you think!

I'll be back with more soon (I hope)
