So I know we waited a long time for that. (and for this update). I wanna take a minute to just appreciate everyone who has stuck by this story as it's going. The answer to the question is, yes, I know exactly where it's going, but the characters (Bones) are stubborn, just because I know where they're going to end up doesn't necessarily mean they're going to get there. I try to write them as in character as I can. I know that Angela, perhaps is a little more outspoken than she is in the show but I think it fits for her and I think we all have to take into account that they are teenagers. They are ruled by their emotions and the moment and their fears of the future. They haven't grown up as much as they have when we meet them in the Pilot episode (and even then we see they're not fully grown up, I mean Angela resorts to ripping open her top to get information). Sorry about the long authors note, this usually isn't my style but I felt the need to kind of explain my thought process. Love you guys xxxx
Brennan lay in the bed, her head snuggled on Seeley's chest. She was basking in the warmth that was all around her when the door burst open, "SEELEY!" Angela shouted as she opened his door. Her eye brows went up into her hairline as she took in Temperance in the bed with him. "Glad to see you guys made up," Angela commented.
Brennan flushed. "Yes, it was needed." She poked Booth in the stomach. "Angela wants you."
"Tell Angela to wait until a normal hour," Booth grumbled rolling back over. Angela however was just staring at the couple on the bed. It was normal for Seeley to sleep without a shirt, especially because the nights were getting warmer. However, she took in Brennan's exposed arms and shoulders. She shifted in a way that seemed strange yet familiar to Angela. Booth grumbled again, "Can I help you Ange?"
"You two fucked!" Angela exclaimed. Her eyes were the size of saucers and Booth was sure her voice had hit an octave only cats could hear.
"Angela!" Booth yelled, but Brennan's cheeks were bright pink.
"Oh my God! You two had sex last night!" Angela shrieked. Booth covered his ears in preparation for what was to come next. He was right, Angela released that ungodly shrill giggle that girls always did when something exciting happened. Angela then proceeded to sit down on the bed next to Booth and talk to Brennan over his body. "How was it? Did it hurt? Did you bleed? Did you come? Was it fantastic? Or awful? Did you initiate? What kind of condom did you use? Oh my God Brennan lost her V-card!"Angela was tingling with excitement and although her mouth was smiling, her hands gesturing rapidly, Booth saw that her eyes were tight.
"Alright, alright I'm leaving enough!" Booth grabbed his shorts from somewhere at the foot of the covers and pulled them on. He placed a kiss on Brennan's head, shot Angela a look that just caused her to roll her eyes. "I'll be back." He promised them both.
"Oh yes, I hope you will." Angela commented lightly. Booth shook his head and left the room.
"Did you want this?" Angela asked quietly. Brennan placed her hand on her friend's hand. She squeezed it tight.
"More than anything." Brennan assured her. Angela smiled.
"Was it good for you? Did he take care of you?" Angela queried her concern dissipating. Brennan blushed and nodded vigorously.
"It was quite good," and then she giggled, causing Angela to as well. She relaxed her position and lay next to her best friend as they began to exchange gory details as girls do.
Hodgins who had walked out of Angela's room came to stand next to Booth who was watching from the door way. "So who is she today, your sister or Tempe's best friend?" Hodgins asked lightly, his hands on his hips as he too watched the girls giggle together. Booth turned to face the other man and smiled, raising an eyebrow.
"Depends on who you are right now: my sister's boyfriend, my friend and fellow guy, or Bones' protective older brother?" Booth retorted.
"Dude," Hodgins replied easily clapping Booth on the back. Booth couldn't help but let out a short laugh of happiness.
Together the two men continued to watch their girlfriends. Guys were different like that. They didn't feel the need to lie with one another and animatedly retell the entire tale of the night before. In fact both men each respectively was much happier not saying much at all and just watch the women they loved interact, with such happiness brimming from their actions.

"No." Bones said flatly her hands on her hips as she stood next to Angela.
"What do you mean no?" Angela asked, echoing Brennan's stance.
"No, as in the antonym for yes, usually used to indicate that something is quite the opposite of what being specified." Brennan stated.
"I KNOW WHAT NO MEANS!" Angela cried in exasperation. "You just can't use it here, not now, you can't say no!" Angela shouted. Brennan's eyes opened in extreme alarm.
"I believe I just did." Brennan was looking at Ange like she was some alien creature.
"Sweetie, Brenn, you have to go to prom with Seeley. It's like, a rule. You HAVE to go. He's your boyfriend. You guys love each other. YOU CAN'T NOT GO TO PROM TOGETHER!" Angela cried throwing her hands down.
"Angela, I can't aff-" Brennan began.
"I will pay, Seeley will pay, Hodgins will pay for Christ's sake!" Angela interrupted.
"I can't ask anyone to do that for me, I already owe everyone enough." Brennan mumbled. Angela sat down next to her friend, forgetting she was in a highly priced dress.
"Brenn, you know there are those times when I'm right and everyone else around me just needs to listen? This is one of those times." Brennan rolled her eyes at her best friend. "You are leaving for Chicago at the end of August. Seeley is leaving for Kentucky. I am leaving for Texas. Jack is leaving for well, wherever he's leaving for. He's yet to decide. Everyone is leaving and going in completely opposite directions. I mean you're moving your whole family to Chicago with you. I refuse to accept that we will not have this one night with each other." Angela finished. Brennan frowned at her. "Please just don't rule it out yet. Please."
"Okay," Brennan breathed for a moment. "What about this one?" She asked pointing at the purple number in front of her. Angela scrunched up her face indicating her distaste.
"No way, I'm leaning more towards this one!" She smiled and pulled out a sparkley, bedazzled, shiny pink tool gown. This time Brennan scrunched up her face. Angela let out a peal of laughter, but it wasn't completely care free. The two teenage girls were both thinking along the same lines. Neither one of them wanted to think about the upcoming months and then the separation they were going to undergo.
Brennan couldn't help but acknowledge the irony. Her entire life she had been trying to escape Philadelphia. She had been alone, friendless, and counting the days until graduation. Now here she was, dreading it. She would be leaving her boyfriend and her best friend. Two things she never thought she would have before. She shook her head to dispel her thoughts.
"What about red?" She suggested standing up to sort through the gowns with her best friend. Angela smiled but her mind too was full of turmoil. Brennan wasn't just leaving for school she was moving. She was moving everyone, her entire family of foster children. Angela blinked long to control the tears that were threatening to spill over.
"I think red would be perfect. For you."
