A/N: No kiss in that last chapter, are you ready to hunt me down yet? Well, here we are. The ending chapter. And you know what that means?
"Sorry we didn't solve the case first," Jack said, as him and the rest of the group sat at a back table in the mess hall. Awards were being handed out and then a big bash was planned. Camp was over and everybody would be leaving tomorrow.
"It's okay," Seeley said. "It was never about winning."
"Yeah," Tempe said. "It's about justice." Seeley smiled over at her.
"May I have your attention," the camp director's voice pulled everybody's eyes forward. On the stage were the director, a few assistants and Agent Wenslow. "Thank you. I would like to say congratulation to all of our teams. Everybody worked very hard. One group was able to solve their case first, so I would like them to come up." Jimmy's team was called up and each member handed a trophy. Then Jimmy was given a chance to say something.
"Solving this case was hard," he said. "But with good detective work, I solved it." Seeley rolled his eyes. Jimmy stepped away from the microphone and the director stepped back.
"Um, thank you Jimmy. Now," he went on. "Agent Wneslow would like to say something about a very special group." Wenslow stepped forward.
"Thank you," the agent said. "There was one team that, although didn't win, showed extreme talent. They worked as a team and their FBI agent lead them with understanding. For this effort, they win a very special award handed out by the FBI to the team that showed the most talent. So when I call their agent would the whole team come forward." There was a low murmur through the room and then everybody fell quiet. "Camp FBI Agent Seeley Booth." Tempe, Angela and Jack all turned to look at Seeley. Slowly they all stood and made there way forward. Wenslow smiled at them as the came onto the stage. He pinned a medal on each of them and then offered the microphone to Seeley.
"Thank you so much, Agent Wenslow," he started. "Somebody once told me it wasn't about winning, it was about justice. Those words couldn't be more true. And I couldn't have done it without my partner, Temperance Brennan and our team mates, Angela Montenegro and Jack Hodgins. I hope that they each succeed in their chosen fields and that one day, we'll be able to work together to solve real cases." There were a few more awards given, and then the party began.
The moon was high in the clear sky and the light from it reflected off the lake. Seeley and Tempe stood at the waters edge, hand in hand. The noise from the party was in the distant, and they both knew they could get in trouble for sneaking away. "Thank you for all your help," Seeley said, his eyes forward.
"That's what this was all about, right? Helping each other."
"Yeah, but you did more then what most people do."
"Yeah, and you gave me the chance." Seeley turned to face her.
"You're gonna make a great anthropologist," he said, causing Tempe to blush. "The best."
"And I know that if we ever see each other again, you'll be a greatest FBI agent I'll have the pleasure of working with." Seeley smiled at her.
"I'm gonna miss you." Tempe looked at him with wide eyes. "I mean it. I consider you a friend. I've enjoyed spending time with you."
"I'll miss you too." Seeley reached up and ran his fingers across Tempe's cheek, and then leaned in toward her. Tempe licked her lips and waited. Seeley stopped and searched her eyes. When he didn't see any objections, he closed the distance and touched her mouth. The kiss was soft at first and Tempe's heart slammed against her chest. Seeley wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to him, where he deepened the kiss. Tempe allowed him to take the lead and teach her how to kiss. She sneaked her arms around his neck and enjoyed the new experience.
Agent Wenslow watched from a distance. His hands clasped behind his back. The camp director walked up beside him. "You do know that's against the camp rules, don't you?" the director said.
"I know," Wenslow said. "And you can break it up in a moment." The two men watched the young couple.
"They did a good job with the case."
"Indeed they did."
"Do you think they will go on to do what they say?" Wenslow looked from Seeley and Tempe to the man beside him and then back.
"Not only do I think they'll succeed," Wenslow said. "I don't think we've seen the last of them as partners. Yes, I think we'll see Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth again." With that, the agent turned and started back toward the party, leaving the director to break up the make out session.
So there you have is. But is that all the chapters a Wolfy can give? -1000 points to whoever tells me what show I took that line from. Keep in mind that I changed two words.-
There's one more chapter to come! YEAH!
