Booth and Sully glared at each other as Brennan and Angela pulled out of the parking lot.
"Why should you care whether Brennan and I go out to lunch? It's not as if you and her having lunch at the diner is more important than Tempe and I restarting our relationship", Sully asked.
"Well, as a matter of fact, I don't think you will be restarting your relationship, as she's currently in a relationship", Booth snapped at Sully. "So that means that you have no claim to her, and you can just, go run along back to your little boat".
"Well, because she was with me first, and because we never officially broke up, technically whoever she's dating now has no claim to her", Sully replied.
"She got over you, Sul, and I'm sure if she could actually contact you, she would have broken up with you. We're very happy so you can just go away and leave us alone", Booth declared.
Sully just stared at Booth, his eyes widening. Booth shifted uncomfortably. 'Why is he looking at me that way? Was it something I said? If she could contact you... she would have broken up... we're very happy... Booth blushed. He hadn't meant to reveal that he and Bones were together.
"Wow, Booth, you finally got the guts to tell her you have the hots for her", Sully said, slightly astonished. "But it's up to her, and unfortunately for you, we had too many great times for you to really have a chance with her".
Booth glared at Sully, opened his mouth to retort, thought better of it, cocked his fight, and punched Sully square on the nose, breaking it. Booth got blood all over his shirt, but he thought that it was a small price to pay to have done something so satisfying.

Bones looked absentmindedly out of the car window. She looked at the scenery without really processing it. Angela looked over at her, concerned, and placed one hand on her friend's arm.
"Are you OK, sweetie? You don't have to decide anything right away", Angela said.
"I know, Ange, but I really have no idea what to do. I don't want to have to turn down either one".
"Well, you have to, Bren. Just look into your heart, and I know you'll find the answer somewhere".
Brennan continued to stare out the window, reliving all the times she had had with both men. She thought of Sully, how he had been there for her when she had to study bodies killed in the way she had written in her book Red Tape, White Bones. How she had taken that vacation with him on the Temperance. How she had listened to all his ideas, owning a boat, opening a sausage-and-pepper sandwich shop, managing a band. His expression when he tasted the macaroni and cheese at Carly's Kitchen. Then she ran out of memories, and she was shocked at how little time they had spent together.
She thought of Booth. He had been there for her through everything. Being kidnapped by Jamie Kenton, pulling her out of that car when she had been kidnapped by the Gravedigger, being blown up with her by the bomb with Gormagon's teeth in it. So many times, so many 'guy hugs', the use of the 'charm smile', and when she thought of it, Booth had been there for her when the copycat killers killed, when Judy Dowd was killed, when Sully left.
She thought of how she pictured herself in 5-10 years, and no matter how successful her books would become, no matter how many murderers she helped catch, the one thing that stayed the same was that Booth would always be by her side, and when she realised that, she knew that it didn't matter what had happened between her and Sully, her connection with Booth would always be stronger, and nothing Sully said or did could change that.
She told Angela, who immediately grabbed her in a bear hug, screaming and yelping with pleasure.
"I knew it, sweetie! You and Booth are just so great together!" Angela squealed. It was at that moment that they both realised that by hugging Brennan, Angela had taken her hands off the steering wheel of the car, and now the car was swerving wildly across the road. Angela grabbed the wheel, yanked it hard to the right, where it immediately moved into the path of an incoming truck.
The truck's tyres squealed in an effort to stop before it hit the car in front of it, but it hadn't hit the brakes early enough. Angela and Brennan looked up at the truck in horror and then suddenly they saw black.

I know that the plot is a bit corny but that's just sort of how it happened.
Reviews would be great
