Disclaimer: Haven't done one of these for awhile, I don't own Bones or Disney World.
Chapter 10
The three of them walked to the Tower of Terror hand in hand. Once they made it to the ride, the sign outside said that the line was over one hour and fifteen minutes. They thought it would be worth it to wait, because they just had a big lunch and the long line would give them enough time for their stomach's to digest.
The three of them waited in the line anxiously awaiting the ride. The line was going through the garden outside of the building. When they were waiting in the line they could see the steady stream of people walking out. They all looked happy Bones thought, so she concluded that she shouldn't be too worried.
Bones shared this idea with Booth and Parker she said "The people leaving the ride seem pretty happy. Then ride can't be too bad, right?"
"Bones you amaze me. You catch murderers, fight crime, see horrible things, and you could probably beat up every person here. But you are afraid of a silly ride." Booth said.
"Wow Tempe, you get to do all of that stuff being a forensic anthropologist? That is so cool; I really want to be a forensic anthropologist now!" Parker said excitedly.
"Yeah, Parker I do. But I couldn't do it without your Daddy's help." Said Bones looking at Booth.
"Daddy, do you have to protect Tempe a lot?" asked Parker.
"Yeah." Said Booth looking at Bones, their eyes connecting. "She gets herself into trouble a lot; she needs my help more than she wants to admit." Said Booth using his charm smile trying to get a smirk out of Bones.
Bones didn't say anything; she just blushed and turned her head away hoping that Booth didn't see her. Bones turning away was Booth's sign to end the conversation. They continued waiting in line Booth and Parker still talking about how excited they were to ride.
Bones just stood there trying to listen to their conversation, but it was drowned out by her thoughts. She was thinking about what Booth said about her needing his help more than she wanted to admit. It was true, before she had met Booth, she was independent and wasn't afraid of anything. She had a shell that didn't break for anything or anyone. But the day that Seeley Booth walked into her life, that shell starting breaking little by little to now where it's almost gone and now she needed him for everything. She thought about what he said about the horrors of her job not scaring her; the truth is that at times she did get scared, but she didn't show it because she knew that he was there with her and would protect her if she got into trouble.
She then thought about the ride that she was going to go on. She made up her mind that she shouldn't be afraid because just like work Booth was going to be with her, protecting her.
She then came out of her thoughts and heard Booth and Parker talking about baseball. They were talking about the New York Yankees; Bones decided to join the conversation and said "Hey, I know who they are. They were Russ's favorite team growing up."
"Cool." Said Parker. "Who is you favorite player?" he asked.
"Um, I only know one player." Said Bones a little embarrassed.
"Who?" asked Parker and Booth at the same time.
"Well, Angela told me about one of the players Derek something, I forgot his last name. But anyways she said he was really hot." Said Bones
"You mean Derek Jeter?" asked Parker. Bones just nodded. "He is my favorite player. Daddy says he is going to take me to a Yankees game sometime, maybe you could come with us?" asked Parker.
Bones was touched that Parker wanted her to come with them, but she said "I don't know I don't want to intrude on the time that you have with your dad."
"Daddy, what does intrude mean?" asked Parker.
"Bones is just saying that she doesn't want to get in the way of the time you spend with me." Said Booth
"Oh, it's okay. I want you to come. Please?" asked Parker hugging her legs.
"How could I say no to that face?" Bones asked rubbing Parker's hair. "But only if it is okay with your Dad."
"It's fine with me Bones." Said Booth
"Okay, just let me know when the game is." Said Bones.
They made their way through the line with Parker and Booth telling Bones about the New York Yankees and all the rules of baseball. They made in into the building where the line continued, but there was a lot more things to look at. They finally made their way to the front of the line, they went into a room and a movie began.
The movie told them about the history of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, it told them about the people in the elevator and how they disappeared when lightening struck the hotel. When the movie was over, they went through another line waiting to get to the elevators.
They were next to get in the elevators, and Parker said "I'm excited and scared at the same time."
This made Booth laugh and he said "I think that is how everyone feels when they ride on this ride." He then looked over at Bones and saw a little bit of fear in her eyes. "Hey Bones, are you okay? You look a little scared."
"Yeah, I'm fine." Said Bones just saying the words, not really meaning it. She wanted to keep that tough exterior that she was known for. While she has been down here in Florida, she has opened up more showing the vulnerable side. Booth saw right through her and took her hand and Bones didn't pull away, she just held on, showing how she really felt, scared.
In front of them the elevator doors opened, and they entered the ride. They sat down Parker sat on one side of Bones and Booth sat on the other. The elevator doors shut and the ride began. The elevator went up and stopped, doors opened, it showed a window coming at them and then breaking before it reached them. The doors closed again, they went up a little more; this time when the doors opened they saw all the people that had disappeared. The doors closed, and they went up a little further, but this time when the doors opened, and the elevator moved forward through a pathway. Then it stopped and it went pitch black, and then the elevator dropped.
Bones screamed, as the elevator went down and the back up numerous times. Both Booth and Parker had fun looking over laughing at her. They thought the ride was awesome. They finally stopped moving and the elevator stopped, and the doors opened. The three of them got out, Booth and Parker were ranting about how fun they thought the ride was.
"Bones, was it as bad as you thought it would be." Asked Booth.
"No, it was actually pretty fun." Said Bones.
'Then why were you screaming?" asked Parker
"The first dropped scared me so I screamed and I kept screaming because I thought that's what people were supposed to do on rides like this." Said Bones
"Okay, let's go see what the picture looks like." Said Booth
They found their picture with ease; they were surprised to see that all three of them looked relatively happy, not too scared. They moved on to the gift shop, they looked though all of the Tower of Terror memorabilia and they exited.
They decided to go back to the hotel; there were really no other shows or rides they wanted to go on. They wanted to come back to the park later, to see the fireworks show Fantasmic. They took the boat back to the hotel and they went up to their room. It was around 3:00, and after a long morning Parker was tired so he took a nap.
Bones and Booth were left to just watch some television. They both sat on the bed leaning against the headboard. They were watching a movie, the movie stopped for a commercial and Bones asked "Booth?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think the killer got another kid today?" Bones asked.
"I hope not." Said Booth.
"What would happen if he did. Would we still be undercover, or would we have to identify the body." Bones asked.
"I don't know Bones. We'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it." Said Booth.
"Okay." The movie had just come back on the screen and Bones asked "What movie is this anyway?"
"It's called Mr. Deeds, it is very funny." Said Booth.
They sat there watching the movie; Both Booth and Bones spent most of the time laughing. It was around 5:00 when the movie ended, so they watched the local news. They woke Parker up from his nap around 5:30; they were going to go get dinner and then go back to MGM Studios.
They went to the hotel across the lagoon to eat dinner. The restaurant was the Cape May Café and it was a buffet. They finished eating by 7:30 and then took the boat back over to MGM Studios. They went straight to the place where Fantasmic was performed because they wanted to get a good seat. The place where they performed Fantasmic was right near the Tower of Terror, so they spent much of the hour listening to the people scream.
The show started at 9:00 and Parker loved it. The whole time, his eyes were toward the show. Both Booth and Bones enjoyed the show, but they enjoyed watching Parker even more. After the show ended, they rode the boat back to the hotel. Even though Parker took a nap, he was still tired and fell asleep.
When the boat got back to the hotel, Bones picked Parker up and brought him into the room. She put him in the bed, took off his shoes, and kissed him good night on the forehead. Booth just watched as his partner took care of his son, he couldn't help but think that it would be nice if it was an everyday occurrence.
After Bones put Parker to bed, she changed into her pajamas and got into bed and turned on the television. Booth then went into the bathroom and changed and then got into bed. Bones handed the remote over to Booth telling him to find something to watch. He scrolled through the channels and found the Yankees game.
"Hey Bones, the Yankees are playing want to watch this?" asked Booth
"Sure." Bones said.
They both just laid in bed watching the Yankees game. After about 45 minutes, Bones fell asleep. Booth just couldn't help but stare at her, he thought about how much she really did mean to him. He thought about how much he liked spending time with her and how glad he was to have her here with him. He knew that he couldn't do it without her.
He stayed up until the end of the game and then decided it was time to go to bed. He turned off the television and got comfortable lying on his back and started to try to go to sleep. He felt Bones move in her sleep; he looked over at her and saw that she had moved right next to him, she wasn't touching him, but he could feel her body heat.
Booth decided to move over just a little, so they were touching. Booth started to fall asleep, content with just a little touch, but he was awaken when Bones rolled over. Her head was now on his chest and she had an arm draped over his stomach. He wrapped his arm around her small body and he went to sleep. He was happy and even if it just were for tonight, he had the women he cared deeply about, even possibly loved in his arms.
A/N: Thank You for reading. I probably won't get a chapter up until Friday, I have a lot of school work, and I'll try my best to get it up earlier though. Chapter will be a little less frequent now, school is starting again and I have a lot of work. I'll try to get two chapters up a week. Have a Happy New Year.
