Disclaimer: I do not own Bones
Dancing is like following at set of instructions
Booth stared at the storyboard before him. They were going to use x-ray machines as part of the dance, and they wanted to use prop skeletons for them to dance with. Also, they want Bones to make him a cocktail. What were they thinking?
"They cannot have x-ray machines. The radiation emitted to get the clarity of the skeletal structure they want could kill us", Bones burst out making Booth jump.
"Bones, it is called CGI. They'll input the bones in later. They may even get you to verify their accuracy", Booth told her, she was taking this way to literally, like normal.
"Oh, sorry Booth", she said to him.
He just smiled at her. Sweets came back from his dancing audition, and he looked very pleased with himself. All the others had been already, and now it was Booth's turn, and he was going to take Bones with him, so she wouldn't have to dance on her own. "So... Sweets. What did they think of you?", Booth asked the boy as he sat up in his chair.
"He thought I was one of the professional dancers", the young doctor told them.
"Well I can't wait to see your moves if Steve thought that", Angela said to him.
Booth stood up. "Come on Bones, time to show off your wicked moves", he told his partner as he put out his arm to help her up.
She took his arm, and as she stood up, she nearly fell over in her shoes. But like always Booth was there to catch her. She looked up at him, and he smiled. Angela however, was planning her interrogation of Brennan afterwards, after what she had just witnessed. Sweets was thinking how Booth helping Brennan could be included into his book.
Booth held Bones' hand all the way down the stairs, and when they reached the bottom, she shook him off, like she didn't need his help. But it was evident after a few steps she did, as she fell over. "Hey Bones not too fast. You are trying to do something which Angela and Cam have had years of practice doing in one day", he said as he ran over to help her back up.
"Yes, but with every mistake, I'm getting better", she said to him as he pulled her up.
"I know, but don't overdo it".
He stood close to her all the way over to Steve like a parent teaching their child to ride a bike. Steve was still watching the dancers, but this time it was the women dressed up like skeletons doing something like pole dancing.
"I didn't need both of you to come down", he told the two.
"Yes, we know, but I need to talk to about something before either of us audition", Booth told the director, indicating for him to come off and have a little one on one conversation.
Steve did as Booth asked and removed his sunglasses before continuing. Brennan was left standing on her own. "Bones do something Anthropology related", Booth told her, before confronting Steve.
She nodded, and decided to analyse the hierarchal structure of the film crew. Booth leant in a little to talk to the director. "Listen, Bones doesn't want to dance on her own, and if you want her to be part of this, you'll make sure she doesn't", he told the man in hushed tones.
"Okay, she doesn't dance on her own", he told Booth who sighed out of relief, "But, I want in exchange for that, that you and her do some comical interaction".
Booth happiness was short lived. "What do you mean?".
"Funny actions, you know things that the public will find amusing. It is 'Comic Relief' after all", Steve said to the FBI agent.
Booth looked over at his partner. He couldn't let her do something which might stop her from doing this. "You have a deal, but nothing too stupid. You might have to answer for it", Booth told him before walking back over to his partner.
"What from you?", Steve shouted after him.
Booth turned around, and began walking backwards with a smile on his face. "No from her", he shouted back at the director, laughing.
Booth approached her, and as soon as she saw him she came over to him rather enthusiastically. "Booth, the hierarchy of this line of work is absolutely fascinating", she said to him smiling.
"Great Bones, you can tell me all about it later. But first we have to do our joint audition", he told her.
"I don't have to dance on my own", she said to him.
"No you don't, but you might have to do something instead", he told her, as he began pushing her over to the choreographer who was on the platform.
"What do you mean by that?", but before he could answer her, they were by the choreography.
She was a short woman, with dyed red hair. Suddenly she shouted at the dancers, which took both Booth and Brennan by surprise. No one at first would have guessed a loud voice like that could come from such a small person. She saw the duo approach, and looked over her glasses which had slipped down to perch on the end of her nose. As they got closer, she began walking over to them, with her arm outstretched, ready to shake hands.
"Anna Dennis", she said, with a British accent that had a slight difference, as she shook Booth's hand, "Why are there two of you?".
"We have a deal with Steve", Booth told her.
"Okay, you two prep yourselves, let me just finish with this lot and I'll be with you now in a minute", she said as she went back over to the group of dancers.
"'Now in a minute'", Booth said to Brennan, confused.
"Yes. She is Welsh, and that is typical of South Wales", she told him.
They looked over at her. She was trying to get the attention of the dancers. "Oh", she said first of all, in a quietish voice, "Oh!", a little louder, "OH!", she shouted at full pelt.
The dancers looked at her, and then she went back into her quiet voice once more as she continued going through the steps with them. She came back over to the duo as she left her dancers with some steps to go over. "Right then But", she said to Booth as she grabbed him by the arm, and repositioning him, "I want you to lead Dr. Brennan in like a club like duo dance. Can you do that?".
"I think so. You ready Bones?", he asked his partner before he started.
"I don't know", she told him.
"Just think of it as following a set of instructions, but instead, I'm the instructions. Just let me do all the thinking".
She smiled. This time Booth was going to be the teacher. Anna cued the music, and Booth let it infect his mind. He swung his partner out, and then back in, turned her, and then he lost count of what he was doing. But whatever was going on impressed the choreographer. She stopped the music just as Booth twirled Brennan in so he was holding her. "Okay. You two will do. Let me go and tell Steve what is going to happen", she said to them, and then looking at her watch, "We will be ready to start filming in about an hour, so I'll see you after".
And with that she walked back over to her dancers. Booth quickly looked at his partner, confused once more. "After what", he said to her.
"I'll explain it to you later Booth", she said as they began walking back up to the others.
The duo came back up to the communal area, and their friends were deep in conversation about something. As Booth and Brennan got closer, they quickly snapped out of it, and smiled like they were covering something up. "Hi guys", Angela said over enthusiastically.
"Hi", Booth said, he knew something was up.
"So, what did they think of your dancing?", Hodgins asked them.
"They liked it", Brennan told them.
"Yes. I liked when Booth turned you out and back in", Sweets told them.
This got vicious looks thrown at him from the other three. They had seen all of it. Hodgins thumped him in the arm. "You fool Sweets", he shouted at the Psychologist.
"So you four saw the whole thing?", Brennan said to them, giving them all a very stern look.
"Sweetie, we didn't mean to, but...", Angela started telling her best friend.
"But we just happened to see you in the corners of our eyes. We all auditioned out of sight of up here", Cam finished off Angela.
There was a clatter behind them, and some of the younger members of the crew were carrying some boxes over to them. They all looked about just twenty, and they were all wearing skinny jeans. "Steve asked if you could put these together. He doesn't want you all to be bored for the next hour", one of them said as he put down his box in front of them.
Brennan walked over and opened up one of the boxes. In them, were piles of what looked like bones? She looked up at the youngsters. "Steve wants us to put fake skeletons together?", she asked them.
"Yes, everyone else is busy setting up ready for filming", a girl told her.
"Thank you", she said to them, "Let's put them together then guys", she addressed her co-workers.
There were six boxes, which meant six skeletons. They could all do one each.
