Sorry for the delay everyone. School bogged me down the last week or so. That is what I get for taking 18 credits and all 300 and 400 level classes in my last sememter before student teaching. Anyway. Thanks for all the wonderful comments. They always make my day.
Bones - Change
Chapter 11
Sunset that day found the pair checking out of the hotel and on their way to the airport.
"How are we going to explain this to everyone?" Brennan asked as they settled into their seats on the plane.
"For now we let Cordelia handle it. With any luck she will have Cullen notify us first thing in the morning that we have a flight. Hopefully when this is all said and done the PTB will turn us back and the Squints will never have known," replied Booth. He didn't think he would ever get used to relishing in the fact that he was flying first class, not after all the years spent in buisness or on military transports.
"But what if the Powers That Be don't turn you back?"
"Bones. Let's not worry about that now. But I will tell you this, if they do not turn me back, they are going to have one really pissed vampire on their hands." He threw her his charm smile to relieve her worry.
There he goes with that smile again, thought Brennan.
"Plus, I think our biggest problem is going to be you and work tomorrow."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that One," he said holding up a finger, "the second that you walk into the Lab tomorrow, Angela is going to know that something happened between you and I. And if you don't go into the Lab she will think the same thing. And two," he said holding up another finger, "I won't be able to go into work tomorrow because of the whole sun problem."
"Well I guess we will just have to worry about that tomorrow. What about Spike?"
"He is coming back to DC tonight. He should actually be someplace on this plane. I figured that he could stay at my place until we figure out what is going on. And I was thinking," Both said in a deep whisper as he leaned intowards her, "that I could stay at your place, so that I don't kill Spike of course," he finished pulling back with a smug look on his face.
"And what makes you think that I will let you stay at my place?" she asked flirtily.
"Oh I can think of a couple ways that would convince you." He leaned in and captured her lips with his.
"Oh for Bloody sakes Peaches. Get a room."
Booth pulled away from Brennan cursing. "Spike. I swear you might find yourself accidentaly staked before we even make it to Sunnydale."
"Go on and make with the threats Peaches. You know you need me."
"Now you know why I want to stay at your place," Booth said to Brennan. "How I put up with you for close to a hundred years I will never know."
"That is because you were Angelous and not Angel, plus you wouldn't have wanted to upset dear old Dru."
Just then the stewardess came around telling everyone to take their seats and fasten their seat belts as they would be taking off shortly. Spike made his way to his seat which was a few rows back and on the opposite side of the plane.

It seemed that as soon as they took off they were landing. The trio made their way through baggage and down to Booth's SUV.
"Back seat Spike," Booth said to Spike who was starting to get into the front passenger seat.
"Why the bloody hell should I?"
"Because that is Bone's seat and no one sits there except her." Muttering to himself Spike got into the back seat of the SUV.
"Can I drive Booth?" she asked out of habit.
"Indulge me this once Bones. I just had to go Alpha-male on Spike to get you that seat, so take it. I promise I will let you drive one time in Sunnydale."
"Alright. But just bacause we are together now does not mean I will accept your Alpha-male tendancies all the time."
"I know Bones. Just as long as you humor me some of the time." He bent down andgave her a quick kiss before she climbed into the SUV and Booth shut the door.
They made thier way first to Booth's Apartment. He showed Spike around and gave him the spare set of keys. "Now don't break or ruin anything. Remember I am FBI now so I can track your ass and make you pay." Booth went into his room and grabbed his overnight bag and proceeded to pack jeans and tshirt, extra boxer and some other essentials.
Soon Booth and Brennan were on their way to her apartment. And they were both lucky they even made it inside without being cited for indecent exposure.
