3:30 EST on the dot.

Enjoy.

"Why am I supposed to believe anything that you say?" Temperance asked as she walked around in the white mist.

"Because I am telling the truth," the girl answered as she sat in the air comfortably.

"Everything you are saying is a mish-mash of fairy tales. Or something out of a tv show." Temperance waved her hands furiously as she went on.

"What a rational way to think."

"Things that are supernatural do not exist. That is a fact that has been proven by rational thinking and experiment. I have been shot. I went under surgery and now I am dreaming. I must be on hallucinogens."

"If you were under hallucinogens would you even know it?"

"If I am then I won't remember it later. So technically I can know."

"I am sick and tired of you arguing with me already. I am too tired to listen to this," the girl groaned as she drew her head backwards.

"What? Who taught you any manners? You can't just pop up out of no where and expect me to willingly believe everything you are saying."

"Is it because I am a teenager?" she sharply asked.

"Yes! That is another point I'd like to point out. You are a teenager; you should be out doing whatever act of rebellion today. However you are not! You are here being so damn ominous about every question I ask."

"That's why."

"What?"

"You argue with me about everything I say so I have no other choice than to be ominous."

Temperance kicked the mist and continued pacing. "Why? How did I get pulled into this?"

"You are going to hate it even more. Trust me," the girl continued as she cracked her knuckles. She snapped her fingers and disappeared into the mist.

Temperance stood in shock. Everything the girl did, made her shocked. Nothing, none of this can be real. Temperance remember, this is not a real world. Just go along with everything until you wake up. Even then you will forget about this. This is just a dream.

The sound of heavy breathing came.

Temperance turned around quickly.

Again the heavy breathing came. This time closer.

She turned around again and saw nothing.

A cold breath rolled down her neck as she heard the heavy breathing again. A mist engulfed the air around her face. She felt like she was suffocating. She gasped.

She pulled out of the oncoming trance and turned around.

She screamed.

Angela had fallen asleep at Temperance's side that night. Booth fell asleep at the other side. Both of them had been up for several days, waiting to see that Temperance would definitely wake up. Exhaustion grew as hope seemed to slip away.

Angela held onto her best friend's hand. She found comfort when the warmth had come back. Temperance, you are alive. She kept in mind.

A jerk shot from Temperance's hands. They shook tremulously for a moment.

Angela shifted her head and felt her best friend's hand shaking. Her eyes darted to Booth, who had just woken up as well.

"Tempe?" Angela called for softly.

"Bones?" Booth also called.

At the sound of the two voices, Temperance stopped shaking and relaxed.

Angela and Booth did not no whether to call for a nurse. They both sat there waiting.

"Tempe?" Angela tried again.

Again, there was no reaction from the doctor. The sound of the monitor beeped softly.

"Tempe, if you can wake up, please do," she tried again. She hoped that this time Temperance would wake up. But again, there was no response.

Angela sighed and put her hand over her forehead, disheartened.

Booth brought up Temperance's hand to his cheek. Please wake up soon. He felt a slight movement along his cheek. He pulled back her hand and stared hopefully.

"Oww," a weak voice coughed out.

Angela and Booth both smiled excitedly as they heard Temperance moan painfully.

"Ow," Temperance added again. She coughed.

Booth laughed as he held her hand close to him again. "You're awake," he said as he stroked her hair with his free hand.

Angela stood up and hovered over her best friend with a smile. "I am so happy you are back," she whispered.

"You guys woke me up," Temperance hoarsely answered. She coughed again. Then smiled at the two and held their hands.

I am alive. This is real, Temperance thought. This is the real world.
