Prompt #9: Foreigner - She'd never had a favorite artist until he put in that CD and started jamming out.

Words: 365

Temperance Brennan had lots of different music in her collection.

Some came from her childhood. Poco, Cyndi Lauper, some of her parents' favorite artists. They stayed with her all through college, keeping their memories alive. Sometimes, when she was really lonely and up late working on her papers, she'd pop one in and work to the sounds of her parents' oldies.

Some came from her travels around the world. Tibetian throat singers was one of them. She played it to relax, sometimes to sleep. Other tribal types of music also made it into her stacks as well. As an anthropologist, she understood the cultural diversity that stemmed into creative audio selections, and so she had multiple selections of said audio.

When she discovered jazz, it filled up a good bit of her library. She loved the free-form of it all, especially how free an artist could be while still maintaining basic rules of conception. Freedom, but still contained. Paradoxal.

Some more music came from newer things. She hit the pop and rap cycles of the mainstream, picked what she liked from the R&B scene, and even picked out a couple tracks of trance. Soon her library became an eclectic hodgepodge of genres that stretched all over the place.

But they were just music. She didn't really have a favorite artist, or a favorite song. Temperance had songs to play when she was tired, or when she needed to focus on work, or when she just wanted background noise.

Then she was shot at, and Booth ordered her home and went home with her. He started poking through her music, then found one CD she could not remember buying.

When "Hot Blooded" blasted out of her speakers, Temperance found herself bobbing to the beat as he air guitar-ed in her living room. This song made her smile. It made her want to dance. This song made her think, I found my favorite song.

So, with a spectacular high kick, Temperance joined her partner in his air guitar session and belted out the lyrics with him.

Meh, random drabble. S'okay, I guess.
