Hot Blooded

Yay! Two chapters in one day! Go me! Figured I might as well get them out now while I had no homework. Hope you like it. So review! Please!

Temperance Brennan crossed her arms and turned to Angela.

"Remind me again why you dragged me here, Ange?" She demanded of her best friend.

"Come on, Bren. You had to get out of that office or you were going to become permanently attached to your desk chair." Angela swayed as a song Brennan didn't recognise came over the speakers.

"It's physically impossible to get fused to a chair without the use of adhesive or heat, and why on ea - "

"Okay, sweetie, it was an expression. Just have fun, okay? For me?"

"But I don't enjoy myself at parties. They're boring."

"Well, do some people watching. You like that." Angela sighed. "Look, sweetie. I'm trying to cheer you up. You've been moping around since Booth left last week. Just walking into the lab was depressing me."

"I'm sorry, Ange. I didn't know it affected you. I just…I miss him."

"I know, honey, I know. But he's due back tomorrow, isn't he?"

A smile flitted across Brennan's face. "Yes. I have to pick him up from the airport at 10 am."

"See, that's only," she checked her watch. "Eleven hours until he's here - "

Angela stopped mid-sentence when Brennan froze in shock.

"What, Bren? What's the matter?"

"This song…" She said faintly, and then spun to look at the DJ's stand.

Angela was puzzled. The song was an old Foreigner hit, nothing she'd expect Brennan to know. She turned towards Brennan, who was still searching in the direction of the DJ's stand.

"Bren! What about this song?"

Brennan face had changed from its previous expression of shock and pleasure to the same boredom that had been there before the song had come on. Only now she looked a bit disappointed, too.

"Nothing, I just thought that…"

"May I have this dance, ma'am?"

Both Angela and Brennan turned towards the deep voice that has posed the question.

"Booth!" Angela cried, very happy to see him. Maybe he would cheer Brennan up.

She looked at her friend to see that she was staring at Booth with a strange look in her eyes.

"I'd love to dance, Booth." Brennan accepted his outstretched hand and let him lead her onto the dance floor.

Angela watched, stunned, as she performed a high kick in the air and laughed along with Booth. She'd never seen Brennan act so free.

Hodgins came up behind her. "Whoa! Go, Dr. Brennan!"

Angela turned, smiled at him. "I think she's feeling much better about m dragging her here now."

He whistled as Brennan and Booth executed a drumming move. "I'll say."

Angela laughed. "Come dance with me, Jack. I'm feeling rather hot blooded."

Okay, I know it was only short. But worth it, right? I fully recommend reading it again with 'Hot Blooded' playing loudly in the background. Makes it so much more real. :) Please review. Do it because you love me.
