From the airport, the flight to Los Angeles took quiet a few hours, but to Brennan it was an even longer flight. She didn't want to leave all of her work behind, but deep down she knew Booth was right. Brennan really did need a vacation, but why with Booth and her friends?
Once they all arrived at the LA airport, Booth started looking for his friend in addition to the baggage. The girls found the baggage claim and naturally the guys followed. Booth grabbed his two travel bags and when he did he heard a voice shout across the other end of the hallway.

"Seeley!!!! Seeley Booth!!!" the voice shouted as it was coming closer.

booth took a closer look at the man who was running towards him and realized it was his friend Ronny.

"Ronny, my man!!!" Booth said as him and Ronny share a guy hug.

"Seeley, I'm so glad you and your friends could make it. i'm really looking foward to you all visting."

"Ronny, it's great to see you man. You look great...everybody this is my friend Ronny Samoa" Booth says to the squintz.

Ronny goes over to Brennan and reaches out his hand for a shake.

"You must be..."

"Temperance Brennan" she says shaking his hand.

"Oh it such a pleasure!!! Your books are awesome. I've read'em all and love each one."

"Thanks"

"Alright alright you old smooth talker...haven't lost your touch!!!" Booth says to his friend.

"Darn right about that"

"Yeah well over here we have Hodgins and Angela"

"Pleasure" Hodgins says to Ronny while shaking his hand.

"And over here we have Zack who is a grad student"

"It's nice to meet you Zack"

"Same here, thank you for letting us stay with you."

"Hey Seeley's friends are my friends too. So let's get the bags loaded and we'll be on our way."

So they guys load all of the baggage onto Ronny's SUV and they head for Ronny's home. On the way there, the squintz mostly just sat listened to Booth and Ronny talk.

"So are you and Karen still together?"

"Heck no it's been over for a couple of years. She ran off with some big shot in Las Vegas...gotta admit though I do miss her a little. We had so many plans too. Get married, start a family...al our plans down the drain."

"That sucks"

"Yeah well the bachelor life ain't so bad. I've gotten to do some traveling in the past few years and since I had no girlfriend I was able to put back money for college, so things worked out. How about you Seeley...wife or kids?"

"I'm not married but I have a son, Parker."

"Nice. So tell me Temperance and the rest of the gang, what's it like working with Seeley?"

"He's a great partner" Brennan comments.

"You two are partners?"

"Yes" both Booth and Brennan say at the same time.

They continue the coversation some more until they arrive at Ronny's house. It's a beautiful 2 story house with a pool in the back yard and a garden in the front yard.

"Hey Ronny, this place is goregous but if it's just you why such a big place and how do you afford it?" Booth asked his friend as he unloaded luggage.

"Well actually the house is paid for. This place used to belong to my mother and well after she passed away about 5 years ago, she left the house to me. Of course it needed some fixing up, but hey the place works."

"You need a nice job of the fixing up" Angela tells Ronny trying to be friendly.

"Thanks, but I can't take all of the credit. My neighbors Margo and Danny next door helped quite a bit."

Ronny helped carry the ladies's luggage inside the house and the guys follwed him inside. He showed each of his guests to their rooms and left them so they could settle in and freshen up.

"If you all would like to clean up some feel free. I'm taking you all out tonight to Shermon's Fine Cafe. You'll love it the food is great!!!!" Ronny tells his guests and then leaves them to their business.
