A/N: I don't own anything. Well maybe the writing but the characters or songs. Nope not a one.
"Hi," the woman at the desk said. "Welcome to Sunshine Travel. My name is Tina Robbins and how can I help you folks today?"
"We're looking for an idea for a vacation destination," Booth said.
"Do you have any place in mind?" Tina asked.
"Someplace out of the city," Brennan said. "I think we really want some fresh air."
"And less traffic," Booth added.
"Definitely," Brennan added. "I'm just so sick of all the cars."
"So you're looking for something that's off the beaten path?" Tina asked. "I can certainly do that."
"Oh Tony," Brennan said as she glanced at some brochures. "Can we go to the Caribbean? I would love to work on my tan."
"I don't know Roxy," Booth said. "I think that might be out of our price range."
"But Tony," Brennan sighed with a playful wink while caressing his arm. "I've had my heart set on a new itsy bitsy bikini."
"There are many affordable trips to the Caribbean," Tina said.
"As much as I'd like to Honeybunch," Booth said as he put his hand over Brennan's. "We just can't afford it on our teacher's salaries."
"No you're right Pookie," Brennan said with a frown. "I guess we'll just have to stay closer to home."
"Oh you're teachers?" Tina asked. "What do you teach?"
"I teach History," Booth said. "Roxy teaches Math."
"He's also the coach of the hockey team," Brennan said with a proud smile. "I'm the coach of women's cross country."
"Well how do you feel about the outdoors?" Tina asked. "Because we have plenty of outdoor adventures that are off the beaten path and have plenty of fresh air."
"Oh yeah," Booth said with a smile. "That's actually how we met. I went on a white water rafting trip with some buddies and she went with some of her friends and the guide ended up putting us on the same raft."
"That was a fun time," Brennan said with a smile. "I remember being awestruck at your physique when you climbed back into the raft after falling in. You looked like Poseidon himself coming out of the water."
"I remember that very well," Booth said with a chuckle. "I remember getting hit by a paddle that knocked me overboard. I also remember climbing back into the raft and seeing your concerned expression. And your makeup was all running down your face from getting splashed. You looked so cute with your turquoise eye shadow streaking down your cheeks."
"I forgot that I wore turquoise eye shadow," Brennan said with a grin. "That must have been back when I used copious amounts of hairspray."
"So you clearly had a good time," Tina said with a smile. "I have numerous white water trips that might be of interest to you."
"That could be fun but I hurt my back a couple weeks ago so I think that we might need something a little lower key," Booth said.
"Yeah Tony," Brennan said with a smile as she poked him in the chest. "I've got to remember that you're not a spring chicken anymore. Though if you did yoga like I keep asking, then you wouldn't get hurt when we find ourselves in new positions."
"Thanks Roxy," Booth said as he threw eye daggers at her. "But I don't think Tina would like any more details."
"Well I also have some trips to some national parks," Tina said as her eyes darted from one partner to the other. "Have either of you ever been to Yosemite?"
"Honestly Tina," Booth said. "I don't think my back could handle the trip. Do you have anything within a couple hours radius?"
"There are numerous state parks within the area," Tina said.
"Oh we could go camping," Brennan said with a smile. "Tony just think of it. We could sit around a campfire and look at the moon. It sounds very romantic."
"That does sound romantic," he said as he linked his fingers with hers. "Tina are there any with cabins instead of just tenting it?"
"Oh, good idea Tony," Brennan said as she touched his knee. "We got kicked out of one campground because we were too loud."
"Oh," Tina said with a frown. "I've only heard of people getting kicked out for being drunk and unruly."
"It was nothing like that," Brennan said. "I'm a bit of a screamer and Tony's got incredible stamina and well a tent doesn't offer much in the way of a sound barrier."
"Oh," Tina said with an embarrassed flush.
"Hence the request of a cabin," Tony said with a forced grin. "Plus I want to make sure she's screaming because of me and not because she's on a pine cone or something."
"Well you two are obviously in love and have a healthy if not overzealous appetite for each other," Tina watched them as they stared at each other. "Might I suggest Allegheny State Park? It's only a couple hours away and has lots of outdoor activities and it offers numerous cabins that offer the privacy that you're looking for."
"Do any of them have fireplaces?" Brennan asked.
"Yes they do," Tina said.
"That sounds great," Booth said as he caressed Brennan's knee and waggled his eyebrows. "And if it's warm enough, you can still work on your tan in that new bikini."
"That's great," Tina said. "I'll start up the paperwork."

"Bones," he said as they climbed back into the SUV. "What the hell was that?"
"I don't know but it sure was fun," Brennan said with a lopsided smile. "And I'm impressed that you were able to make the joke about the pine cone. You've come a long way in dealing with your uncomfortable nature when talking about sex."
"Yeah I know," he said with a sigh. "I've evolved but I was also acting."
"You did a great job of improvising," she said. "Really. I mean it."
"You did a good job too," he said as he grinned at her. "But I have a very important question for you in regards to our planning for this mission."
"You never ask my input on these undercover missions," she said with a furrowed brow. "What do you need to know?"
"Are you really going to bring a new bikini?" he asked as he waggled his eyebrows.
"Only if I get you a matching speedo," she said as she rolled her eyes.
"A speedo? Really?"
"I believe Angela once called it a banana hammock," she said with a grin.
