Mariabones prompt: What if Hannah returned for Valentine's day to make up with Booth only to find him and Brennan having fun at the shooting range it can be interesting
Thanks for reading and reviewing my stories. This story is a short one.
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Hannah pleading with Booth, "Can we just go back? I'll walk in here. You tell me how good I look. I say "Thank you." We kiss. We'll have a nice dinner like - like this never happened. We . . . we can go back."
Seeing the cold look of anger on Booth's face, Hannah asked, "Okay, your turn, what happens now?. . . I'll get my stuff out of your place. . . "
Booth, not caring what Hannah did, " How much time do you need?"
Hannah, disappointed and not understanding how her life had just turned upside down, "To get out of your place or to get over you?"
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hannah had let Booth think things over for a few weeks and decided to see if he had thought over what she'd asked him when they had broke up. She felt that she'd been clear from the beginning that she didn't believe in marriage and she didn't know why he had felt compelled to push the issue; but, deep down, Hannah felt that they did well together and that once he'd thought over his mistake, he'd be more receptive to getting back together with her.
Hannah had tracked down Booth to the firing range. Hannah had dropped by the Hoover looking for Booth and when she had found out he wasn't there she'd asked Agent Hernandez where Booth was. Agent Hernandez worked with Booth and his desk was situated just outside of Booth's office. Hannah figured if anyone knew where Booth was then Pete would.
Agent Pete Hernandez had heard Booth tell Charlie that he was going to the firing range to let off some steam. When Hannah had asked Pete where Booth was Agent Hernandez had seriously considered not telling her. He didn't know what Booth's relationship with Hannah was and he didn't want to get involved in anything he thought he shouldn't. On the other hand, he knew that if she was still his girlfriend and Pete didn't know if she was or not, Booth might not like him giving his girlfriend the run-around. Pete decided that he could always deny that he'd been the one to talk to her.
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
Arriving at the firing range, Hannah walked into the building and signed in. She had been there before so her face would not be unfamiliar. Walking into the area that Booth was supposed to be in, Hannah noticed Booth and Brennan talking as Booth stood next to some wooden boxes resting on a trolley cart. Her heart aching at the sight of him, Hannah started to walk towards Booth.
Booth, reaching in to the box he had just opened, pulled out a Thompson machine gun. Hannah had never seen guns like that in the real world. She's seen them in old movies and she knew that Booth was a nut for old things.
The look of joy on his face as he walked over towards the target was hard for her to bear. Stopping, Hannah saw Booth say something to Brennan who by then had a Thompson machine gun in her hands also. Turning, Booth sprayed a target with the bullets that fanned out from the gun. Shouting movie lines, Booth turned to Brennan and smiled. His smile was so big and so honest that Hannah realized something for the first time.
She had an epiphany.
Hannah had never seen Booth smile like that. She had known him for several months and never, not once, had Booth beamed a smile like he was giving Temperance Brennan, his partner. Hannah had seen him laugh and she'd seen him smile; but, she'd never seen the full wattage smile that he now had on his face.
After watching Booth and Brennan having a joyful time firing their guns and quoting their favorite movie lines, Hannah finally turned and walked away. "I've been a fool. He doesn't love me. He's never loved me. For all his words of love and affection, I wasn't what he wanted. . . . I wasn't what he wanted."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Ok, very short story.
