Saturday morning came and Brennan's shout could be heard throughout the house.

"Booth!" he ran straight into her room.

"Bones! Where are you?"

"In the wardrobe." He ran into her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I just can't decide what to wear!" she was shuffling through all her clothes.

"I thought there was something wrong!"

"There is! For things like this Angela normally dresses me! And I don't think my normal attire will exactly fit in if Mary if anything to judge the normal type of clothes around here!"

"Yeah the whole Eco-warrior thing doesn't exactly say suburban-house-wife does it…" he stepped towards her wardrobe ignoring her remarks about how she didn't want to be a house wife. He scanned through everything she had, and pulled out a white sundress with pink embroidery on it that looked a lot like the one Mary had been wearing the day before. "What about this?"

"I think that's Angela's." she said.

"So? It's perfect for a lawn party!"

"You've been to one of these before?"

"My mom used to hold them." He shrugged holding out the dress to her. She took it and sighed.

"Fine wait in the kitchen I'll be down in a minute." He left and went down to the kitchen.

Five minutes later he heard her coming down the stairs. She had put on the dress, which just came down to her knees and a light pink cardigan over it. It was completely different to anything he had ever seen her wear before. It was so… so girly, was what he was thinking.

"This feels so weird." She said flattening down the front of the dress.

"Bones as you said if Mary is anything to go by you'll fit right in!" he smiled but she frowned.

"No I can't wear this. Hang on two minutes!" she flew back up the stairs. He sat back down and waited. Two minutes later she was back the pink cardigan was gone and had been replaced with a denim jacket and had put on one of her normal necklaces, she had also put on a pair of combats but was still wearing the dress. He smiled this looked more like the Bones he knew.

"Will this do? Technically I am wearing the dress!"

"Yeah at least you look like Bones now." He grinned and looked him up and down.

"Why do you get to wear normal clothes?"

"Bones you're the one that freaked out this morning may I remind you."

"You said that what I normally wear wouldn't fit in!"

"You know what Bones it doesn't matter we're late!" he said walking to the door. She stepped ahead of him grabbing his hand on the way out.

"Come on so David." He smiled at her and they crossed the road. They saw just how many people were at Mary and John's house the second they looked over. There was a large tent in the yard. And there was numerous tables under the tent.

"God this is so "Desperate Housewives"" he muttered to her under his breath. She turned to him.

"I don't know what that means."

"Just trust me." He sighed. Then she saw Mary wave over to her from the drinks table. She gripped Booth's hand harder.

"Don't leave me alone!" she hissed. He raised her hand to his mouth and kissed it lightly.

"Don't worry. Just don't talk too much." He whispered. And walked over to John who was calling him too. The next second he was gone and she was standing there alone.

"Emily!" Mary came over to her. "Welcome! Come with me and I'll introduce you to the rest of the girls." She led her over to a far off table. "Girls this is our new neighbour that moved in yesterday." She pulled out a chair for her. And Brennan sat down. "Emily this is Marie, Orla, Megan and Tina." She gestured to each woman as she spoke. Brennan greeted each, but Tina wasn't watching her.

"Hi. Welcome to the neighbourhood." Orla said.

"Thanks." She replied.

"Do you like it so far?" Marie asked.

"Yes I love it!"

"That's good." Megan said. Then the rest of the group looked at Tina. She turned around.

"Sorry Emily I didn't need to be rude but I just noticed another new comer. Who's that gorgeous man talking to John?" she asked. Brennan turned around to see Booth standing there.

"Oh that's my par… husband" God that sounds weird she thought.

"Oh sorry!" Tina smiled.

"Congrats he's a fine catch!" Orla smiled. Brennan looked at him again.

"Yeah… I guess he is."

"You guess?" Tina said. "He's drop dead gorgeous!"

"Sorry I should have brought him over too." Mary said.

"Are you all married?" Brennan asked. They all laughed.

"Of course!" Mary started. "Tina is married to Mark whose to the right of John there they have one daughter Caitlin whose by the tree. Orla is married to Anthony and they have Maeve and Amy." She pointed them out. "Marie is with Ben whose at the barbeque with there son Graham. And Megan is married to Paul whose just arriving now with their twins Margo and James." Brennan tried to take in all the names but knew that she'd never remember them all.

"Lovely." She said.

"Excuse me a minute." Mary said and went over to the food table.

"So Emily have you any children?" Orla asked.

"No, no David and I are only married a month." She tried to put on a smile but the thought of kids still didn't bode well with her.

"Oh, well just give it time!" Marie said and they all laughed. And Brennan tried to hold onto her false smile.

They chatted for about an hour and Brennan was surprised to find that they were all quite pleasant. Except Tina. Brennan got the feeling that she didn't like her. Mary flitted around the place ensuring that everyone was ok so Brennan didn't see much of her. Then Booth arrived at the table. He put his hands on Brennan's shoulders and she jumped in surprise.

"Oh B…David it's you." she smiled.

"Emz. How you getting on over her in the female corner?" he threw a charm smile towards the table.

"Great!" she turned to the group. "David this is Orla, Marie, Megan and Tina." She gestured to each woman.

"Hi. Great to meet you." he shook each of there hands. "I think I've meet all your husbands."

"Yeah I'd say so." Tina smiled.

"Now I'm sorry to break this up but you've go this appointment Emz remember?"

"Right sorry I lost track of the time." She stood up getting the message. "I better go. Thank you all so much! Goodbye!" she turned and walked away, Booth placed a hand on the small of her back.

"What appointment?" she whispered.

"Cullen rang." He breathed into her ear.

"Ok lets go."
