Sorry this has taken awhile. Here's some twisting and teasing :P

"Safe to say I had the best birthday ever." Booth said to Angela. They were sitting on Hodgins couch. Her head was on his shoulder and Bones was sleeping quietly on Booth's lap.

"Me too big guy." Angela smiled. She turned to Brennan whose eye lids remained closed. "Did you like your present?"

"Best gift I ever got. I'm going to have to top it for her birthday but I don't know how." His brow furrowed. "I'm gonna take her home. She's tired. Are you staying here tonight?" Booth watched his sister give her boyfriend tell tale bedroom eyes. Booth rolled his own. "Yeah I'll tell mom you're staying here. Thanks again man." They nodded at one another because his arms were currently full of sleeping girl.

XXXXXX

It was the Friday following Booths birthday and Brennan was getting dressed in Angela's room.

"You're sure you have not one idea as to where he is taking me?" Brennan queried. Angela just shook her head.

"Brennan just enjoy this okay? It's gonna be good." Angela's eyes sparkled and she zipped up the cobalt dress. "Knock him dead." She shoved her friend out the door before she could get a rant about the actual meaning of that phrase.

"Ready baby?" Booth asked quietly taking the pretty girl in his arms.

"Yes I am ready."

It turns out he was taking her to this gorgeous Chinese restaurant called Wong Fu's. You didn't order the guy just had a 'knack' but when the food was brought to his table by a curvy blonde the date began to head south.

"Hello Seeley." The blonde said in greeting. She was smiling and had adjusted her posture to appear more appealing to Booth. To Brennan's boyfriend.

"Rebecca! I didn't know you were working here!" He got up and hugged his ex-girlfriend. Strike one.

Brennan recognized the blonde as Rebecca, the one he had had a pregnancy scare with a year ago. She pressed her lips together unhappily.

"Oh yeah, just trying to make a little extra spending money for college, you know." She said flippantly not looking at Brennan.

"Oh do you know where you're going yet?" Booth asked still standing. His eyes had not moved off of the blonde's face. Brennan let out a small sigh of frustration.

"Not yet, I'm thinking about University of New Haven for criminology but you never know." She giggled. "When do you leave for training?"

"June." Seeley said unhappily. Brennan counted to ten in her head to try and calm herself but he anger was rising quickly. Wasn't this supposed to be their date?

"Wow, so only a few more months! We have to hang out before you leave!" Rebecca squealed, at this moment her eyes flickered to Brennan for half a second and then returned to Booth.

"Definitely." Booth responded. Strike two.

"Well I got customers waiting. I'll see you soon Seel," She hugged him tight before leaving. Booth finally sat back down.

"I want to go." Brennan finally said quietly. Her eyes were on the table and when she lifted her head, they were blazing.

"What Bones! Why!" Booth demanded.

"I'm no longer hungry and do not wish to remain at the establishment with your would have been baby momma." Brennan said bluntly.

"God! You're always so difficult! Why can't you just enjoy something and be grateful that someone wants to do something for you for once!" He shouted his eyes rolling. Strike three. Brennan stood up from the table. "Bones you didn't have to be such a cold fish around Rebecca!"

"Well you didn't have to be so lovey dovey with her! Think with your brain for once!" Brennan shouted walking out of the restaurant. Booth followed throwing a twenty down on the table.

"Well how about you get a soul!" Booth yelled out of frustration.

"Seeley Booth how dare you!?" She gaped at him. Frustrated with all of his raving and lunacy. She sat at the bus stop her legs crossed as if they would remain that way for the next hundred years.

"Bones what are you doing?" Booth said angrily.

"I am waiting for the bus. I refuse to go home with you." Brennan replied flatly refusing to look at him. He reached for her arm and tugged at her. "You let go of me this instant or so help me Booth I will scream kidnap at the top of my lungs." Booth's hand dropped as if he had been shocked.

"Bones just relax okay?" Booth said raising his hands up.

"Don't call me bones!" Brennan shouted. She boarded the bus not looking back at him.

She didn't come back to his house that night. She stayed with Hodgins' instead. Booth was up all night and finally four in the morning came and he knocked on Angela's door.

"Seeley what on earth could not wait until the car ride to school?" Angela said tying her robe around her body.

"Bones and I got into a fight. I don't even know what about. It was so weird. One moment everything was fine and the next she's ranting and raving and getting on the bus to leave and I don't even know." Booth said waving his arms around. Angela furrowed her brow and looked at her brother.

"Did anything happen at dinner?" Angela asked quietly. Booth looked at the floor and mumbled, "Rebecca was there." Angela pursed her lips and raised an eyebrow at him.

"I didn't think it was a big deal we talked for a bit." Angela just rolled her eyes.

"You idiot. You know she's insecure. A girl you thought you knocked up was all over you and she had to watch you talk to her! How do you think that made her feel? Imagine Tim Sullivan had been there, and better yet they had had sex! You would have gone ape man on her ass." Angela shook her head. She couldn't imagine what part of the male stupidity had been at work here but it was driving her crazy. "You're a stupid moron. Fix it. Prove to her that she's the most important thing in the world to you. Now get some rest or she'll be even angrier." She paused for a moment and chewed on a thought. "She slept at Jack's tonight." She watched as he let out the breath he seemed to have been holding.

"Thank you," he murmured his breath ragged. Angela closed her eyes understanding his pain, he was her twin after all and she understood him about as well as anyone could hope to, except maybe Brennan.
