Since the writers haven't actually fixed Angela and Hodgins relationship yet, I thought I'd let Brennan give it a shot. It's kind of necessary for them to be together in my timeline. :-)

Booth walked into Brennan's office with a smile on his face. "Hello, beautiful."

Brennan turned around and greeted him with a smile of her own. "Hello yourself."

He watched as she attached a sprig of mistletoe to the end of a metal pole and he had a sudden case of déjà vu. "What's with the mistletoe, Bones?"

Her eyes sparkled as she met his gaze, memories of their first kiss flooding her mind. "It's not for us," she offered as she lifted the mistletoe into place.

"I figured as much since you don't need mistletoe to kiss me," he replied. "So who is it for?"

"Angela," she replied as she returned the pole to the corner of her office and then went to sit at her desk.

"I'm not sure I'm following," he said as he sat down on the corner of her desk. "If it's for Angela, why is it in your office?"

"We're having our little Christmas get together here tonight. Remember?"

"Right," he said. "At six o'clock. And then you and I are going back to your place to share a little yuletide cheer of our own. I remember."

"Well, since both Angela and Jack will be here tonight, I figured the mistletoe would be a good idea."

His eyebrows rose as he finally realized she was trying to get their friends back together. "Bones, do you really think that's such a good idea?" he asked. "I thought they had both agreed to move on."

"They're just both too stubborn to realize what they're giving up," she replied. "I'm just trying to give them a nudge in the right direction."

"I don't think they're going to appreciate it," he said.

"Why not? I mean, it's obvious that they still have feelings for each other. They should be able to deal with this break-up and get back together."

"Now there's an argument that has never been used before," he said as he reached for her hand. "Bones, look, I know you mean well and I'm sure your friends would appreciate knowing that you want them both to be happy. But trying to push things between them won't help them."

She looked thoughtful for a minute before she sighed. "I guess I'm trying to do the same thing to her that was done to us, aren't I?"

He nodded and said, "And how much did you like being on the other end?"

"Not very much," she said, glancing up at the mistletoe. "It made being around you very uncomfortable for a while." She paused for a brief moment and then added, "You're right. It's a bad idea. Forget I even mentioned it."

He tugged on her hand and pulled her to her feet, leading her over to stand between his knees. "Consider it forgotten" he offered. "But I sure don't think we should let the mistletoe go to waste."

"We're not under the mistletoe," she pointed out as his hands moved to her waist and pulled her closer.

"Minor technicality," he stated before he closed the distance between them and covered her lips with his. They lost themselves in the kiss, all thoughts of mistletoe disappearing under the onslaught of sensation brought about by the joining of their lips.

The ringing of the phone finally jolted them back to reality and they jerked apart guiltily, Brennan reaching for her phone and Booth picking up the folder he'd brought over to get signed. As soon as Brennan finished her call, they settled back into their work personas, neither one giving another thought to the lone sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

They had all gathered in Brennan's office for drinks and their annual gift exchange. It was the first year without Zack, but it was also the first year that Booth had actually joined their little celebration. As they all began to bid their farewells, Cam's voice brought things to a standstill.

"Dr. Brennan, I never took you as the mistletoe type."

Brennan's eyes grew wide as she glanced up and saw that Angela was currently standing directly under the forgotten sprig, with Hodgins only a step behind her. "I completely forgot to take that down earlier," she replied.

"I think I may have distracted her," Booth offered as an apology.

Angela saw the fear on their faces and couldn't help but smile. She had never taken Bren for a matchmaker before, but then again, she'd never been as crazy in love as she was with Booth. Turning to Hodgins, Angela lifted a brow in question. "You know traditions, Jack."

He smiled to hide his nervousness, but refused to let the opportunity slip away. "I've always been a fan of traditions," he replied as he took a step closer to her.

Their eyes locked briefly and then they moved together as one, their lips meeting gently in a barely-there kiss. They both pulled away slightly for the briefest of seconds before moving together again, their lips meeting forcefully this time as their hands reached for each other, pulling the other closer as they re-learned the taste and feel of the other.

Neither of them noticed the looks that were exchanged between the others, nor did they notice when everyone quietly bid their farewells and left them there sharing a magical kiss under the mistletoe. It was quite some time later when they pulled apart, tears shining in both of their eyes.

"I've missed you so much," Hodgins said as he reached up to caress her face.

"I've missed you, too," Angela replied.

"I know I don't deserve it, but I'd like another chance," he whispered.

"I'd like one, too," she agreed.

"Do you want to go somewhere and talk?" he asked.

They both looked around them and laughed when they realized they were alone in the lab. "We can stay here if you want," she offered.

"As good a place as any, I suppose," he replied.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

"Do you think they can work things out?" Brennan asked from where she was snuggled into Booth's side. Her head was resting comfortably on his shoulder as her hand drew idle patterns on his bare chest.

"If they want it bad enough," he replied as he let a strand of her hair slide through his fingers.

"I hope they do," she said. "I've known Angela for a long time and I've never seen her as happy as she was with Jack."

"I think you just want everyone to be as happy as we are," he replied.

"Maybe," she admitted as she lifted her head to look at him. "I know I've never been this content with my own life before. It's a good feeling."

He lifted his head and kissed her, his hand going to the back of her head and holding her to him. Just as she rolled herself on top of him, her cell phone buzzed from the nightstand.

They both groaned as they broke apart, and she reached for her phone as he peppered kisses across her shoulder.

"It's a text from Angela," she said as she opened the message. "She says thanks for the mistletoe and that they'll call us tomorrow."

"Sounds like maybe they did want it bad enough," he commented as she returned her phone to the nightstand.

She smiled as she shifted her body back over his. "Speaking of wanting things, where were we?"

"Right about here, I think," he replied as he once again captured her lips with his, pulling her back into his embrace and hoping that Angela and Jack had in fact worked things out.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it and I would love to hear from you.
