This is a short fic...probably only 3 or 4 chapters! But I thought that I would write it in honor of the 4th of July! Hope you like it! Please read and review!

Fourth of July in the Park

Chapter 1

"Bones!" Booth yelled as he ran up the platform towards his partner who was hovering over a table of bones.

"Booth! Don't yell! What do you want?"

"What do you want?"

"Well, do you know what tomorrow is?"

"Wednesday….why?"

"Not just Wednesday Bones, it's the Fourth of July! You are going with me to the park to celebrate."

"I can't Booth, I have two Civil War soldiers that I am on the verge of identifying and I have paperwork I need to finish up form the case we just finished. I can't go to a park tomorrow. Sorry." She then turned back to the skeleton and gave it her signature squint as she looked for any other distinctions in the bones.

"Oh no you don't, you don't have a choice. We are going to the park. I have Parker and he loves the Forth. Plus he begged me to get you to come with us. What kind of dad would I be if I let my son down?!" He gave her puppy dog eyes that Parker always gave him and somehow seemed to work.

"Fine, I will go. BUT"

"Yeah!"

"I wasn't finished Booth, it is rude to interrupt. Now, as I was saying, BUT I have to at least work in the lab for a couple hours tomorrow morning."

"Okay fine, I will pick you up here at 10:00. If we hurry we can catch the end of the parade down Broadway."

"Fine." She said rolling her eyes and turning once again to the remains on her table.

"And Bones?"

She let out a frustrated sigh as she turned around her looked at him, obviously losing her patients "What Booth?"

He gave her his signature grin. "Wear a bathing suit under your clothes."

"What do I need a bathing suit for?"

"Yeah, what does she need a bathing suit for?" Angela said as she walked up the stares towards the pair. She had a huge grin on her face.

"Because were we are going there is a water park part of it."

"I am not going to wear a bathing suit."

"Yes she will, don't worry Booth. I will take care of this." Angela smiled at him and then turned to her friend. "We are going shopping."

"No we are not Ange. I don't have time to go shopping."

"Yes you do, you have looked over those bones about 10 times this morning and there is nothing else that needs to be done today. You and I are going shopping. Now if you two will excuse me I am going to go tell Cam that we are taking the afternoon off." Angela smiled an egotistical smile and walked off towards Cam's office.

"Now look what you've done."

"What I have done? What did I do?"

"You let Angela over hear and now she is dragging me shopping when I have a lot of things to get done today."

"I'm sorry. But I promise I will make it up to you tomorrow." He took a step towards her so that only inches were separating the two. "Now go have some fun. You deserve a little break. Be a girl for once Bones."

She looked up at him and caught his yes. She could see he was being sincere and wanted her to relax for couple days. "Well, I guess I do work too much." She grinned and inched closer towards him.

"Yeah." He smiled down at her. "You do."

Their eyes locked and for a brief moment they were wrapped up in each other. He leaned forward to close the small distance between them when aloud noise broke their concentration.

Booth and Bones jumped apart and looked towards the sound. There they saw Zach looking down at the tray of instruments he had strung across the floor.

"Way to go Zach." Angela gave him an evil look as she bet down to help him pick up the tools.

"I'm sorry Angela, I didn't see you standing there. Why were you standing in the middle of the stairs anyway?"

"I uh…." She looked over at Booth and Brennan. "was just waiting on Bren." She turned to Bones "Now lets go, we have the afternoon off and the mall is calling."

Please review! I will post more this afternoon!
