So I'm sorry about the extreme delay in updates but Erwin, my trusty laptop, committed suicide. The hard drive is dead, taking with it the one shot that was so adorable and nearly done. Fortunately the wonderful people at Geek squad believe that they will be able to salvage my documents inculding all my papers, stories, and music so that's a relief. Now I just have to buy a new computer. Fortunately it's summer time so I don't desperately need one right away so I'm waiting for a sale.

Any way this saga mean updates are confined to when I can borrow my mom's computer. That being said, I am delievering some extreme fluff. It actually involves marshmallows, and is told by the most adorable kid in the world Parker. I still don't own Bones, but I have decided to play with them everyonce in a while.

Camping

"Hi Dad!" I climbed into my dad's truck. It's Friday. Finally.

We have a three day weekend from school and I was with dad for all of it! He'd promised to take me camping. Which means s'mores, campfires, hiking, exploring, fishing, and card games. I love it when he takes me camping because he does stuff that I actually want to do. When mom and Brent take me they just want to read, there's no exploring or anything fun. Sometimes all we do is a boring nature walks where mom ooh's and awe's over the stupid flowers.

It wasn't until I was buckled in the car that I realized Bones was in the front seat. "Hiya Bones!" Bones, Dr. Brennan, is dad's partner at work. We call her Bones though because she works with bones, and she is one of my absolute favorite people in the whole world. When I was nine I really wanted, dad to have a girlfriend so we could use her pool, and she just let us have the key to her pool and said that we could use it whenever we wanted. Awesome? Yes. But then she and Dad left for a year, which majorly sucked. But they're back now and we get to use the pool again.

"Hi Parker. How are you?" She turned in her seat to look at me as dad drove. One thing I forgot to tell you, not only is Bones is one of the nicest people I know, but she is also the prettiest. So I understand why Dad really likes her, and a mean really likes her. When they first came back I didn't see Bones often, but things seem like they are back to normal now. Any way she listened to me talk about my day, quizzing me about the things I'd learned. Then asked me about the science project she'd helped me with a few weeks ago and about the book she knew I was reading. That was one of the things I loved about her, she really cared about what I was doing and was interested in me, and not just pretending to be interested like some adults.

Dad asked if it was alright if she came with us to the Diner for dinner. Of course I said yes, because if she's there I can usually talk dad into a milkshake, that and she's really cool.

At dinner dad and I told her about our planned trip. We were leaving in the morning and would come back Monday. I told her about the place we were going. There was huge lake for fishing and a mountain we were going to climb. Plus we were going exploring in the forest, and best of all we were going to make s'mores.

And then she told me the most unbelievable think that I had ever heard. She'd never had a s'more. Dad and I looked at her like she was completely crazy. How does anyone get to be that old and have never had a s'more. It turned out she's never been camping. She kept going on about going to dig sites with her skeletons, and sleeping in tents and how she's been hiking. But she's never been camping. I decided this needed to be fixed immediately, so when Bones went to the bathroom I asked dad if she could come. He looked really excited for a moment. And then said that we didn't have room for her in the tent. Which was silly because we have a four man tent and even with Bones that's only three people. He finally relented saying we could ask her, but she's a busy women and she'd probably say no.

She came back from the bathroom taking a final sip of her milkshake. "Thanks for dinner, are you guys ready to go?"

"Yeah. Bones what are you doing this weekend?" I asked her as we left the Diner.

"I was going to work on my next book this weekend." She answered calmly holding the door open.

"Well, do you want to come camping with us?"

She looked shocked, "I… well…" She looked at dad, "Are you sure you guys have room." Dad nodded. "Well I don't want to intrude on your time together."

"Bones," I whined a little hoping that would help convince her to come. "We really want to you to come."

She paused, looking back and forth between the two of us. I put on the best puppy dog eyes I could. Before she sighed and smiled. "Well I guess you two should take me home so that I can pack."

I jumped up, "Yes! Oh Bones we're going to have soo much fun you have no idea." Dad laughed and we drove her to her apartment promising to pick her up at 8 the next morning for our camping adventure. And then we went home to pack our stuff.

The next morning she was standing at the curb where we'd left her the night before in jeans and a t-shirt with a baseball cap on her head and a duffel and sleeping bag at her feet. And we loaded up and drove off to Virginia. She listened with me to the Harry Potter book on CD and when it finished as I drifted off to sleep I could hear her and dad talking, just like they used too.

Dad woke me up when we got to the campsite and I helped them unpack the car. While dad and I set up the tent Bones made us lunch. After lunch we taught Bones how to play a bunch of different card games, because she hardly knew any. Although we stopped when she was doing better than Dad and I were. Dad and I went down to the lake to go fishing, we were only catching and releasing the fish but it was still fun. Bones didn't want to fish but she brought her camera and her book and came with us to the lake. She read for a while and then she stared snapping pictures of the lake and the mountains, and then of dad and I. Eventually we abandoned fishing and dad was taking pictures of the two of us until she splashed him with water. Then dad set down the camera and started chasing after her. I grabbed the camera and started taking pictures of them, including when he finally caught her and pick her up before they both collapsed on the beach laughing.

That night we made dinner on the fire and we got to introduce Bones to s'mores. "So I put a marshmallow on the stick and hold it over the fire, until its golden brown?" She asked, not sure it would work.

Dad laughed at her. "Yeah Bones you're a scientist it should be that hard." And he held his own marshmallows over the fire turning them slowly.

She copied dad and held hers over the fire, staring intently at it like she was going to miss it turn golden brown. I personally like mine burned so I was trying to light mine on fire, and not having any luck. When I flame jumped out of the embers and caught Bones on fire.

She jump up and started waving it around dad started laughing at her. "Blow it out Bones." He stood up and helped her blow it out.

"It's all brunt and inedible." She pouted sitting back down on the log.

"Give it to Parker, he likes them like that, and then get a couple more marshmallows and I'll help you."

She let me pick the delicious marshmallow off her roasting stick, "Thanks Bones." I giggled as she sighed spearing two more marshmallows.

"This better be worth it Parker."

"Awe Bones they're totally delicious."

Dad showed her the spot over the embers that would allow her to roast the marshmallows. Within a few minutes her marshmallows had blown up and were brown. "Ok so now what."

"Bones! You're marshmallow is going to fall off." It was it was all gooey and oozing its way off her roasting stick. Dad sandwiched the marshmallows between the graham crackers and chocolate.

"There you go Bones, your very first s'more." He handed her the sandwich.

She took a bit chewing it thoughtfully, before smiling. "This is absolutely delicious!" She took another bite and Dad and I laughed at her and then ate our own s'mores as dad told my favorite campfire story.

The next day we went hiking, Bones was great not complaining at all on the hike instead she was trying to get us to go faster. When we finally got to the top of the mountain she took more pictures and even managed to set the camera up to take a picture of the three of us, before we set off back down the mountain.

That Bones and I played card games while dad made dinner. After dinner Bones told us stories from her dig the summer before.

"Can we make s'mores again?" She asked excitedly at the end of her story, since the fire had finally died down enough to make them. Dad looked at her with those lovey dovey eyes, and she smiled back. I thought about it and decided that maybe I should just go to bed. So I yawned and told them I was going to bed and let them roast their marshmallows and be all gross and adult like, without me.

I listen to dad and Bones laugh and talk as they roasted their marshmallows and eat the delicious s'mores. I watched their shadow's as Bones sat down next to dad and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I'm really glad you invited me this weekend Booth."

"I didn't invite you Parker did."

"Well in that case I'm glad Parker invited me."

"Yeah I am too, Bones. We had fun this weekend."

Then they were quiet and so I fell asleep waiting for them to come into the tent.

There you go it's super fluffy. Please let me know what you thought of it, it will make the passing of my beloved computer easier.
