Hall picked up Richards and Angela and took them to the store where Richards could get everything she needed. Hall then dropped Angela back off at the Jeffersonian to her car. They arrived at Brennan's apartment with Hall holding a fairly large TV in his arms.
Booth answered the door, "Nice! Another TV."
Brennan, "What's this for?"
Richards, "Angela suggested that we watch 'girly' movies in your bedroom tonight while the boys, she called them, watch TV out here. She said it would help us bond. I don't quite understand the concept, but Cam told me that your best friend would know what you like."
Brennan, "Well ok. Booth could you please set that up and I will order the food."
Hall, "What are we having?"
Brennan, "Thai of course."
As they decided what to order, Booth and Hall went into Brennan's bedroom to set up the TV and DVD player.
Richards, "I got a movie called 'sisters', I also got 'Waiting to exhale' and Beaches. But I think 'Waiting to Exhale is a metaphor for women going through hardships with men and Beaches, well it isn't about beaches at all."
Brennan, "Did Angela chose these movies?"
Richards, "Yes."
Brennan, "Then I think we better trust her. So I am thinking after dinner we can change into our pajamas and make some popcorn and lie on my bed and watch them."
Richards, "But I didn't bring any pajamas."
Brennan, "You can use something of mine. I find it difficult to relax in my work clothes."
Richards, "So do I."
Brennan, "Which one should we watch first? Sisters?"
Richards, "Sounds appropriate to me."
Brennan put the movie and they watched the whole thing without the guys in the next room. They were both happy about that since they were both crying.
Brennan, "Lets watch another one."
They ended up watching all three. They had fallen asleep so Booth took the guest bedroom and Hall on the couch. Brennan and Richards woke up to Richards cell phone alarm that had been going off for awhile.
Richards looking at the time, "Oh damn, I am going to be so late! I still have to go home and shower and change."
Brennan, "Just shower here and use something of mine."
Richards, "Thank you, Thank you! Make sure you come by the lab after your doctor appointment and tell me how it went."
Back at the lab, Richards was working with Fisher.
Richards, "I don't think Brennan would want you to be working with your I-pod on."
Fisher correcting her, "It's an I-touch, thank you very much!"
Richards, "Fine! (getting huffy with him, she pulled one of the ear buds out of his ear, wiped it off with an alcohol swab and started to sing) " Looking at my own reflection When suddenly it changes Violently it changes Fisher sang this next part. "(oh no)" There is no turning back now You've woken up the demons in me
They sang this part together: [Chorus:] Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3] Open up your hate, and let it flow into me Get up, come on get down with the sickness You mother get up come on get down with the sickness"
Brennan and Booth had now walked over to the platform where they were and the singing stopped.
Fisher, "Holy Crap! You are so hot!"
Richards, "Yeah I know!"
Brennan had a scolding look in her eyes. Richards not wanting Fisher to get into trouble.. "How was your doctor appointment?"
Brennan, "I can't believe that you two are goofing off at work!"
Fisher, "I can believe that you know Disturbed!"
Booth, "Neither can I!"
Brennan, "That's not the point and yes I do find it disturbing!"
Richards, "My brother Briody loves Disturbed."
Booth, "It's a band Bones."
Brennan still not understanding. "Then maybe your brother should talk to Sweets! Or should I say your cousin."
Richards now very angry at Brennan calling her brother her cousin, "He is my brother!"
Brennan, "We have already established that he is not your brother. Russ is your brother!"
Both of them not willing to back down, making everyone in the lab look at them.
Richards, "He is more of a brother to me than you are a sister!"
With that she stormed off the platform and into Cam's office and sat at her desk and starting on her paperwork.
Cam, "Now you two are acting like sisters."
Richards with tears in her eyes, "How could she?"
Cam put her hands on Richard's shoulders, "She doesn't know any better. This will all blow over by tomorrow and everything will be ok."
Cam really hoped that was the case, because with Brennan not working Richards was definitely a great substitute and was even able to assist Brennan's interns and do the autopsies. Cam had even began to catch up on her own reports having Richards as her assistance.
Richards, "She is just mad, because she caught me listening to Fisher's I-touch and singing while we were working, but she doesn't know that I have almost finished your list and it's only Tuesday."
Cam said in shock, "You have almost finished the list?"
Richards now turning into her logical, know it all self, "Yeah, it's not like it's hard to do these pathology reports and Fisher works quickly with the bones."
Cam chuckled, "I might just allow Fisher to use his I-touch then. Well of course when Brennan isn't around."
Richards, "It sounds like you are taking my side?"
Cam, "It's not about sides. It's about learning each others personalities and which buttons not to press."
Richards, "I didn't push any buttons, Fisher just had the song playing."
Cam, "I meant learning how not to make each other angry."
Richards, "Well I am not just angry, I am pissed. I think I used that word correctly."
Cam, "Yes, you sure did."
