I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After they had been seated at their table, Booth looked over the wine selection and asked their waiter about the house special. Brennan, being five months pregnant decided that water would be her beverage of choice. Both Booth and Brennan were looking at their menu, when Gordon came over to their table.

"You know, if you really are my friends, then you'll leave the food choices to me tonight. I promise not to serve you whale sperm or Ostrich beaks." Gordon said with a smile.

Smiling, Booth stood up and shook Gordon's hand. "Hey, Bones and I like a little adventure in our food so we'll let you surprise us; but, we will take you up on your promise. No weird shit."

Sitting back down, Booth gave his menu to Gordon. A little uncertain, Brennan also gave her menu to Gordon.

Nodding his head, Gordon said, "Yes, not exactly the words I would use to describe my culinary masterpieces; but, I promise you both, no weird shit."

Leaning over, Gordon kissed Brennan on the cheek and said, "You two really need to come by more often. How am I supposed to know what's going on in your lives if you won't come around and let me snoop. I have to get all of my information from Angela and Jack Hodgins when they come in. They edit too much. It can be very frustrating."

Laughing, Brennan said, "We've been rather busy lately; but, we can stay and talk to you as long as you want to tonight. We're working on a case; but, we plan to wrap it up tomorrow."

Smiling, Gordon said, "Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to check on my kitchen staff and make sure that they haven't experimented with any of my dishes while my back was turned. You know how chefs are. Experiment and if it goes wrong, blame the palate of the one complaining. They're all a bunch of temperamental prima donnas, I swear. Oh, I guess that includes me, so be warned."

Watching Gordon walk away, Brennan gave Booth a puzzled look.

Smiling, Booth said, "We have to eat whatever he serves and we can't complain about it."

Shaking her head, Brennan said, "Why didn't he just say that?"

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hodgins had received an urgent phone call from Angela and once he got Michael into his car seat, Hodgins drove over to the Jeffersonian. Driving into the parking garage, Hodgins parked next to Angela's car and then got Michael out of his car seat. Walking over to Angela, he handed Michael over to her and then walked back to his car. Getting out a couple of small wire cages from the trunk of his car, he walked over to Angela's car and opened the door.

Turning to Angela, Hodgins asked, "How many geckos am I looking for?"

Shaking her head, Angela said, "How would I know? I saw a few and slammed the car door. You know, Sweets is going to pay for this. I'll make sure that he understands that you don't mess with anyone from Texas. We have a sense of humor; but, we have our pride. That little mouse fearing weasel has gone too far. He promised me that he wasn't going to get revenge for our little joke. He's a liar and a weasel."

Smiling, Hodgins said, "Ok, babe. You need to calm down. Geckos can't hurt you and he probably thought it would be funny to put a few geckos in your car. I'm sure we can just let it go. He's had his revenge and you can stop worrying about it. You've been jittery for weeks waiting for Sweets to make his move. He did it and it's done."

Shaking her head, Angela said, "Oh no. This isn't over by a long shot. Sweets wants to play tit for tat. Well I'm tat now."

Worried, Hodgins said, "Angela. You need to let it go. We pulled a very embarrassing trick on Sweets and he's got his revenge. It's over. No one was hurt and at least you weren't publicly humiliated."

Frowning, Angela said, "I was too. Booth and Brennan were down here, in the garage, when I screamed and ran away from my car. They think I'm a loon for running away from geckos. I could see it in their faces. Sweets needs to be punished."

Sighing, Hodgins said, "Babe, I wish you would let it go. You've been on edge ever since we played that joke on Sweets. It's over and you can relax. If you try to get revenge then the cycle will just start again. I want it to stop. Please, Angela. Let it go. I am asking you to."

Squinting her eyes, Angela said, "I'll think about it."

Smiling, Hodgins said, "I'm counting on you to do the right thing, Angela. You have to set an example for Michael."

Smiling, Angela looked down at her son and said, "Mommy is not going to hurt Uncle Sweets. She promises."

Hearing Angela, Hodgins sighed with relief.

Seeing Hodgins climb into her car with the cages, Angela leaned in closer to her son and whispered, "Mommy may bend Uncle Weasel's body out of shape though."

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Reviews would be wonderful. Thanks.
