A/N: Alright so I had my bio test tonight and that now means I have a little more free time to write, that is until my next bio test ;-) I have been anticipating this test to finally be over with for weeks simply because it meant I could write again. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

When they arrived at the little town called Cass Lake, it was nearly 6pm and the sun was beginning to set. The FBI had made reservations for the pair at a hotel in nearby Bemidji, but Brennan wanted to see the remains immediately before they were compromised, which she suspected they already had been.

"Bones, it's getting dark, the remains will be there tomorrow. Why don't we just get something to eat and go to our hotel, get a good night's rest and get up really early tomorrow and see the crime scene. I don't even think this Podunk little town has the right lighting equipment for us to be of much use tonight."

"But, Booth, the remains are being compromised as we speak…"

"Bones, I'll have someone guard the scene to ensure nothing happens to the remains."

"But…"

"I'm not arguing with you. We will go there bright and early tomorrow morning."

Brennan gave up trying to argue, surprising Booth at how fast she gave in. It was a good thing she didn't know where in the forest the remains were because Booth was certain Brennan would have taken herself to the crime scene in the middle of the night while he slept.

B&B

They drove the thirty minutes from Cass Lake to Bemidji and found a little pub right by their hotel called Brigid's Cross. Little did the pair know that on that night the pub had it's weekly trivia game and all the proceeds for the night went to charity. They had arrived just in time for registration.

"Bones, we would totally win if we played! You know everything!" Booth exclaimed as he stood by the registration table near the entrance.

"I am very intelligent but I do not know everything." Brennan stated.

"Come on, Bones, let's sign up! It will be fun!"

"Fine, but you're buying dinner if you're going to make me play."

"Alright, Bones!" Booth said excitedly as he quickly jotted down their names on the sign up sheet. The pair took a seat in a booth and looked over the menu. "I'm getting a burger."

"You always order burgers. Why don't you try something different?" Brennan said.

"Why change a good thing?" Booth looked over his menu at Brennan and smiled. "What are you getting then, Miss Adventure?"

"I will probably get the mushroom soup and a salad."

"See, you always order a salad, I always order a burger and you always steal my fries. We have a dynamic going, why bother changing it?" Booth stated.

Brennan smirked. "Well, I am also ordering a beer or two, since technically we aren't on the job quite yet."

"I might as well do that too."

The flame haired waitress soon came and took their orders and it wasn't long after that that their food came. They sat in companionable silence while they ate and Brennan did what she usually did and stole Booth's fries. Soon after they were finished, and two beers later, the trivia competition began. They moved to the designated area, which was a row of tables, and were set up with buzzers. Most teams had five people on a team, but their team was only the two of them. Booth was certain they would do well despite that.

"Alright everyone! I am Logan and I will be your host for tonight's Brainstormer Trivia competition. Tonight's charity is for the local humane society, so drink up because animals need your money!" People chuckled at his attempt at a joke. "So, tonight we have six teams, so when I say your team name, I want you to raise your hand so we know who you are. The first team is, Packers Suck, where are you?" Logan asked scanning the tables when a group of burly men with football jerseys on raised their hands. He named off the remaining groups before coming to Booth and Brennan's. "And the last one is Heart and Science. That must be you two." Logan said, pointing to Booth and Brennan. Booth nodded with a smile.

"Why did you choose that as our team name?" Brennan inquired.

"Because it describes us perfectly." Booth said, taking a sip from his third beer.

"Is everyone ready?" Logan asked. "The first question is an animal question." he looked over some note cards with trivia questions and began, "What do you call a castrated rooster?"

Everyone looked around at the other tables, some shrugged not knowing the answer. Booth was surprised when he heard their buzzer going off. "A capon." Brennan shouted.

"That is correct!" Logan shouted, "one point for Heart and Science!"

Booth stared wide-eyed at Brennan, "how in God's name did you know that?"

"You'd be surprised by what I know, Booth."

The game quickly progressed. Brennan didn't get a few questions, mainly the ones about sports. Booth attempted to buzz in on the sports trivia, but the team Packers Suck, always beat him to it. Down to the last two questions, Brennan, not realizing how much she had drank as the game was progressing, started to feel the affects of the alcohol. Her brain felt foggy.

"Two more questions, everyone!" Logan announced. "What is the largest island in the world?"

Brennan knew the answer, it just wasn't coming to her. "Booth, I don't know the answer!" she whispered. It was too late, the team behind them in points answered and got it right, tying the game up.

"Okay, Bones, one more question right and we win." Booth said, trying to get Brennan psyched up.

"Last question everyone! Who is the patron saint of dentists?" Logan asked.

Booth looked over at Brennan, who shrugged. He quickly brought his hand out to the buzzer and hit it. "St. Apollonia!" he shouted.

"That is correct, making Heart and Science the winners!"

Booth and Brennan looked at each other with big smiles plastered on their faces as they stood up. They gave one another a quick hug as they went up to Logan who gave them their prize.

B&B

They left the pub, holding their little souvenirs from winning and walked toward their hotel. "I think I drank too much." Brennan admitted. "I got so caught up in the game, I didn't realize I had three beers."

"Well, it's a good thing the hotel is so close, because I don't think I could have driven anyway, I had four beers myself. At least our money went to a good cause though."

"Yeah, that's true." Brennan said, as they made their way through the hotel lobby and walked to their rooms. They had rooms right next to each other so they stopped just outside of them to say their goodnights. "Well, I guess I'll see you in the morning." Brennan said, sighing deeply. She looked up to Booth and they met each others eyes. She smiled shyly, feeling her heartbeat pick up. He started to fidget, but maintained eye contact with her. Within seconds, Booth had his arm around her waist, his hand in her hair and his lips pressed firmly on hers. Brennan wrapped her arms around his neck in hopes of deepening the kiss. Their tongues met as the pent up passion and affection they had for one another revealed itself in that kiss. They continued to make out, right there in the hallway of the hotel.

Booth sobered up enough to realize he couldn't let this continue. It would ruin everything if they let this thing progress to sex. "Bones, Bones…" he whispered, as he pulled away.

Brennan opened her eyes, dark with passion. "What's wrong, Booth?'

"We can't do this." he said. "We can't let this happen, not this way. We are both practically drunk, you aren't a one-night-stand, Bones. We have to stop."

Brennan stepped away, dejectedly. She looked down at the floor, embarrassed. "Okay, then, I guess this is goodnight." she said, as she turned on her heel and walked to her room, avoiding eye contact with him. She unlocked her door, stepped inside and closed it behind her. Booth stood in the hallway, trying to figure out what had just happened. There was no way he could move on after that.

Reviews are love, by the way. :-)
