A/N OK...firstly it is no longer 4 parts...it's as many parts as it takes for me to round it up! Seriously...never giving myself a limit again! LOL

Secondly...this is a bit of a filler chapter leading up to the main 'event' as it were so not a lot happens...you'll just have to deal! LOL

And thirdly...it's short so please don't hate me!

Part 3

Angela stood outside her office and glanced down at her watch, tapping her foot impatiently. Her best friend was 15 minutes late already, and she really needed to talk to her before her other...guest arrived. Her head flew up at the sound of the Lab doors opening and she sighed in relief at the sight of Brennan making her way determinedly towards her office. She was late...but at least she was here. Angela swung round and stepped in her office, doing one last check to make sure everything was in place. She smiled to herself as she peered round the room. One 'shrink' chair sat in front of the must have 'psychiatrists couch' where she hoped to sort out the mess her two friends have made of their relationship...well, their potential relationship, she reminded herself. They haven't actually got to the relationship part yet...not the fun bit anyway!

"Sorry Angela. Really sorry. I just...lost track of time." Brennan said as she rushed into Angela's office.

Angela turned to Brennan with a smile.

"At least you got here" she said, whistling lowly as she took in her best friends outfit "Looking stunning too Bren...just perfect."

Brennan dipped her head slightly in embarrassment at her friends words and look, feeling a little less confident in her outfit choice.

"Well I figured I had to wear this at some point...after all you did choose it." She said with a small smile.

Angela's grin widened.

"So I did...man I have got style!" she said with a smirk, looking forward to her other 'guest' getting a look at Brennan in this get up.

Her eyes widened as she remembered that her other 'guest' would be arriving any minute and she still hadn't had her chat with Brennan first. She walked to Brennan and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the couch before pushing her gently down so she was seated. Brennan did so with a confused smile.

"Just...stay here a min Bren...I need to have a word with Cam. Just...stay." she said before turning and rushing out of the door leaving Brennan sat on the couch in confusion.

Angela headed towards Cam's office, breaking into a jog as she approached praying that Cam was actually in. If not she was screwed. She burst through the door not bothering to knock, sighing in relief when she was Cam hunched over her desk.

At the sound of the door being thrown open Cams head shot up, eyes widening in fear before she saw Angela.

"Jesus Angela...some warning next time!" she said with annoyance, clutching a hand to her chest. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

Angela had the grace to look a little sheepish.

"Sorry Cam but it's urgent."

"Well...it's Saturday and we haven't had a new case in...way too long so it can't be work related. Personal then?" she questioned, afraid of the answer.

"No...yes...well kind of" Angela said

"Thanks for clearing that up for me" Cam said sarcastically.

"Well it's not my personal it's..." she lowered her voice conspiratorially "Booth and Bren personal"

Cam sat up in her seat and smiled widely, ready to pay attention.

"Why didn't you say so? What can I do?" she said eagerly.

Angela forgot her purpose for a moment and she took in Cams expression, amused at her boss's reaction.

"What?" Cam said defensively as she saw the way Angela was looking at her. "You're not the only one rooting for those two you know..." Angela continued to look at her with a smirk on her face. Cam sighed in defeat. "What can I do Angela?"

"Huh? Oh right. So...Bren's sat in my office. I need to talk to her and Booth is on his way." Angela stated.

Cam looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to continue. When she remained silent Cam looked at her in confusion.

"Aaaaaaaaaaand...not really getting where I come in here Angela."

"What? Oh right. So...I need you to talk to Booth so I can talk to Bren."

"OK" Cam said warily, still confused. "But I guess you want to talk to both of them hence why they are both here...or will be. Why not at the same time?"

"I will but I need to talk to Bren first. Trust me Cam...it'll be better for everyone if me and Bren have a chat before Booth turns up." She said firmly.

Cam knew that when it came to this Angela was the master so she just nodded.

"Ok Angela. Send Booth my way when he gets here." She said and thinking that was the end of it she moved to go back to work.

"No can do Cam. I need you to wait for him. Can't risk him interrupting so..." she said while moving towards the desk. "Up you get" she said.

Cam looked at Angela's face and sighed, knowing any argument she made would just be denying the inevitable.

"Alright alright" Cam said standing up. "You're bossy...you know that?" she said as she followed Angela who had began to walk out as soon as Cam was stood.

Angela glanced back at her over her shoulder and grinned.

"Yep!"

Angela continued walking, moving to go past her office, Cam directly behind her. She walked by without looking in and jumped when someone grabbed her arm form behind. She swung round and frowned in confusion when she saw it was Cam.

"Wh..." she started but stopped as Cam shook her head vehemently, signalling for her to shut up.

Angela allowed Cam to pull her back slightly until she was stood outside her office. She continued to look at Cam who was gesturing wildly. She let go of her arm and signalled towards inside Angela's office. Angela looked at her in confusion but decided to indulge her, glancing into her office quickly.

Her eyes widened as she took in the scene before her. Brennan was sat where she left her, but had shifted to one edge of the sofa. Her partner, who had obviously turned up in time as annoying as that was for Angela, was now sat on the opposite side of the sofa. They were both doing their level best to be as far away from each other and the sight alone was enough to get Angela refocused on her reason for being there.

She glanced at Cam who gave her small smile.

"Whatever you do Ange...fix that?" she said, signalling with her head the two partners sat together but not really...together.

Angela gave her a determined smile.

"I will" she said, before turning and strolling into her office.

"Bren...Booth...I think we need a little chat, don't ya think?" she asked rhetorically.

The last thing Cam saw as the door shut was the 'deer caught in headlights' look the two partners exchanged.

Cam turned away from the door with a weary sigh.

"Good luck Ange" she mumbled under her breath. "You're going to need it!"
