Okay guys, I know I haven't updated in quite a while and I'm really sorry for that, but I've been incredibly busy lately and have hardly had time to sit down let alone write. My mom's partner moved in and I had to help move him, so I've been exhausted to the point where I came down sick. Still, I have now gotten the new Chapter up and I hope you like it.

Also, just a point I thought I should make. The advents that happen in the end of season 9 of Bones did not happen in my story, only because the episode hadn't aired when I had started writing it to begin with.


Christine's Pov

By the time we got to Kate's we were all in good moods. Kate, being a generous hostess, had called to others to see if they wanted to come too, but they were all busy doing their own things. Ford had to babysit Lana, which was making him very grumpy. We couldn't get a hold of Layla and Anna and Stacey were having a family get together.

We went inside Kate's house together, though it was more like a small mansion, and I quickly took the bags from her, winking at her as I did. She brushed her hair back, which looked good in its new style, and winked back.

"Okay boys, I got the new Call of Duty game." She announced and the boys took off, while I took off up the stairs. Kate's house was pretty big, but it wasn't overwhelming. I ran to her room, which was like twice the size of mine, and went to her walk in wardrobe. I ducked in and placed the bags in the corner, then I ran back out and shut it behind me.

By the time I got downstairs the boys hadn't even noticed I had left. Seriously, sometimes they could get so engrossed in these games. Honestly they were all the same, just different maps and game plays. I didn't know much about video games because I wasn't into them much, even though I was good at sniping on Call of Duty. Michael, Ford and Darius hated it when I played because I always got them before they could get me.

"Did they even notice I left?" I asked Kate in clarification as I reached the kitchen and she shook her head as she grabbed beer out of the fringe.

"Nope, not once. They're too busy with their game, but that means once we give our boyfriends beer and chips they'll be too occupied to notice us, which means we can go get changed and surprise them." She said and I shook my head as I grabbed the drinks.

"You know my parents are seriously going to ground me if they ever find out that I've been drinking, definitely on a school night, even though it's Friday" I said and she laughed.

"It's nothing they didn't do in high school." Kate said and I knew that was true, but still I'd be grounded. Then again they hadn't realized after homecoming this year, so maybe they would never find out.

"Here you go boys." I said and I handed them both a beer, which made them pause there game.

"Thanks Chris" Michael said and he took his from me while Kate placed down the chips. I smiled and took mine from Kate, only to open in and take a drink of it.

"So who's winning?" Kate asked as she sat on the arm rest of the couch Darius was sitting on and I saw an unpleasant look on Darius's face.

"Michael, the smartass" He grumbled and I laughed, causing him to glare at me which only made Kate laugh.

"Yep, so can I go back to shooting him now?" Michael asked and I shrugged, because boy was he going to be distracted when I came back down stairs, or at least I hoped that's what happened.

"Sure, go ahead" I said and he un-paused the game, instantly shooting Darius and killing his character.

"Oh come on!" Darius shouted and Kate and I shook our heads. Boys! She then motioned me to follow her with her head and got up, drink in hand. I got up too with my own drink and followed her towards the stairs, leaving our completely oblivious boyfriends behind. Michael may be a genius, but sometimes he was just as oblivious as the rest of the male race. The day I drew on his face with a marker while he was sleeping was proof of that.

Kate and I made our way up stairs and went into her room. I was looking forward to giving a shock, that was for sure. We went into her wardrobe and she went to the shopping bags, then the moment she found the bikini she had brought for me she threw it at me.

"Go get changed so we can try to get our boyfriends away from that game." She said and I smiled as I nodded. It was still so weird to think of Michael as my boyfriend, but I was beginning to get used to it.

Michael's Pov

As I used the controller to shoot Darius again I gave a cry of victory because I was kicking his ass. I was twenty kills ahead of him, thanks to Christine. I still had to try to beat her on this game though. Hang on, where was Christine, and Kate for that matter? I couldn't hear her and Kate talking and I couldn't see them anywhere. Damn, had I been so focused on the game that I hadn't noticed her leave?

"Hey, were did the girls go?" I asked Darius as I ran away from him on the game. I was usually observant, yet I hadn't seen my own girlfriend leave the room.

"Who knows? They're probably talking about us upstairs." Darius said. "Anyway, how's being out of the friend zone going?" He asked and I chuckled. Of course he'd ask me that.

"It's fine. Actually, it's pretty awesome, definitely now that her parents know because it means I don't have to pretend that I don't love her." I said and he laughed.

"Yeah, I guess it would be. Still, her dad's one scary dude, so what did he actually say to you? I had been waiting for him to shoot you." He asked and I shrugged. I had expected Booth to say what he had said to me, but I admit I hadn't expected him to be so calm about it. He had always been extremely protective of Christine.

"He threatened to shoot me if I hurt her. I had expected that, I mean he has a habit of using that threat." I said.

"Well good man, I'm happy for you. Plus I never wanted to see Christine end up with some dickhead that would treat her badly. I mean she's smart enough to know not to do that, but she's my girlfriend's best friend and she's yours too." He said and I smiled, but not because of what he had just said. I was smiling because I shot him right in the head and with that the game was over because our time had run out. "Oh come on!" He complained, throwing his controller on the seat.

"Dude, Christine taught me how to play. Don't expect to win anymore." I said cockily and he sighed as he leant back and took a swig of his beer. I grabbed mine and leant back as well.

"I can still beat you at football and don't you forget it." He commented and he took another long drink, but then he spat it out and stared wide eyed over my shoulder. What the hell had shocked him so bad?

"What is it?" I asked as I had a drink of my beer and turned around. The moment I saw what he had seen I spat out my drink as well. Standing there, in a blue bikini that matched her eyes, was Christine, and for once I actually checked out her body. I hadn't done it before because we were just friends back then, but now she was my girlfriend and I couldn't help but look.

God was she fucking beautiful. She had long toned legs that looked smooth and her torso was also toned from the years of training she had done. I also noticed that her breasts were pretty damn big, which I had never really noticed before today.

"Keep ogling my breasts Michael and I'm going to smack the shit out of you." She said to me as she placed her hands on her hips and I gulped. Yeah, when she made that threat I knew she really meant it.

Beside her was Kate, who looked just as good, not that I would say that because Darius would beat my head in if he knew I was even thinking it. I've seen him do it before, to none other than Ford actually.

Christine's Pov

The moment I threatened him Michael looked away from my breasts, probably knowing I meant it. Funny thing is, I hadn't. I had only said it to make it obvious that he was ogling. Kate had told me to do it and since she had a boyfriend, I knew I could trust her. Obviously she was right. Still, I couldn't help but blush when I had seen Michael's stunned look when he had seen me. This was still so knew for us.

"Babe, you look awesome." Darius said and Kate smiled as we both walked over to them with smiles on our faces. As I reached Michael I ran my hand over his shoulder gently.

"I know, now do me a favor and take these." She said, handing him our bottles of beer.

"Why?" He asked, but despite that he still took them from us.

"Because we can't do cannon balls into the pool with them" I said and with that both Kate and I bolted toward the doors. We ran into her backyard and once we reached the edge of the pool we jumped into the water together as we laughed, causing it to splash up into the air as we went under. The water swirled around my body as I used my feet to get my head above the water. My head broke the surface and I wiped the water out of my eyes to look at Kate. It was then though that the boys came out, placed out beers down, stripped out of their shirts and then they grinned at us.

"Cannonball!" They both shouted and they ran toward the water. Kate and I shrieked just before they jumped and as they hit the water a ton of it landed all over us, causing us to cough and splutter.

"You asses" I said as Michael's head popped out of the water and I smacked him, which just made him laugh at me.

"Aw, did the little girl get wet?" He mockingly asked and I tackled him back into the water, causing both Kate and Darius to laugh at us. I held him under for as long as I could, but then I pushed myself up and he followed.

"Seriously Christine, remind me never to piss you off" Darius said and I smiled at him.

"Nope, you'll have to remember yourself." I said and Kate laughed.

"Hey, lets have a battle. You guys want to try to take the title don't you?" Michael asked and both Kate and Darius smirked. Even I knew what the battle meant. It meant where the girls get up onto the guys shoulders and shove each other until one falls into the water.

"You're on lover boy." Darius said and I smiled at Michael as he sent a smirk in my direction. We always won when we did this. He leant down in the water and I put my legs over his shoulders as Kate did the same with Darius. Michael stood up and I let out a laugh, then I grabbed Kate's arms.

"I hope you like the water" I smirked and she reflected it. We would always be best friends, I knew that.

"I'll like it once I see you fall into it" She said and we started shoving each other. The boys laughed as we fought, but that laughing quickly ended when I quickly bet Kate. She shrieked and both her and Darius went back into the water. I laughed and looked down at Michael, who was laughing also, but our laughter ended when Darius popped out of the water and shoved us backwards, sending us both under the water.

An hour later we all sat in Kate's Spa, a new beer in all of our hands as we smiled at each other. Michael's arm was wrapped around my waist and Darius's was wrapped around Kate's.

"You know I can't imagine life without any of you guys. We're best friends and we better stay that way forever" Kate said and Darius held her closer.

"Don't worry babe, we're never going to stop being friends." Darius reassured her and I smiled at her.

"He's right Kate" I said and she smiled at me.

"That means we'll be there for all the big advents right. Each others weddings, the day we all have kids, all of it" Kate said and Michael held his drink up into the air.

"Friends forever" He announced and we all raised our beers, clinking them together as we repeated his words. We all took a drink out of our beers and I knew that we really would be friends forever. The only thing that could ever destroy this friendship was if one of us were to die, but I didn't see that happening for many years.


Okay guys, I really hoped you liked it and I would love it if you reviewed. I'll try my best to update as quickly as I can.
