Listen To The Music Chapter 5: Waterloo, a bones fanfic

Listen To The Music

A/N: Okay. I decided to add this chapter, but this is the last one. Really. And it takes place about a year or so after I left off.

Disclaimer: Still not mine.

Waterloo

"New case?" questioned Brennan.

"Yeah," replied Booth, giving her another quick kiss. "But we can stop for food on the way there."

"Sounds good." Brennan smiled.

"Thai food," they said in unison.

"Deal," said Booth. He gave her a charm smile and they walked down to Booth's waiting SUV. Brennan turned on the radio and the end of a song came bursting out.

"Sorry," she said, and turned down the volume.

Just as Booth pulled into the parking lot of the take-out restaurant, the last verse of the song reached their ears:
…
And it made them smile, because they were happy they had found themselves, and knew the name of the game they were playing.

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Brennan turned around and looked in the three-way full length mirror. She gasped.

"Oh, Angela!" she cried. Angela looked at her friend.

"What is it sweetie?" she asked, trying to do up her own zipper.

"It's perfect!" Brennan went and hugged Angela. "It's absolutely perfect." Brennan hugged her again and then did up her zipper. "There."

"Now sweetie. You have to relax," instructed Angela. "If you faint, fine, but if you run away, then I will take your place and marry Booth."

"Ange don't be silly," said Brennan. "Why would I run away?"

"Because you don't believe in marriage and this is Booth we're talking about." Angela sighed and helped her friend put flowers in her hair. "Hey, I've got something for you." Angela handed Brennan a book.

"A history book?" she inquired.

"Turn to the bookmarked page," said Angela. Brennan did so.

"Waterloo? Napoleon?" Brennan looked at Angela. Angela sighed.

"At Waterloo, Napoleon surrendered. Now, this is your Waterloo, and you're Napoleon." Brennan's face broke out into a smile and she pulled Angela close.

"Thank you Ange," she said. "Thank you." Angela could only smile in return.

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

Hodgins knocked on the door and poked his head around it. His eyes sought out Angela and his mouth dropped.

"Wow," he said. "Ange…"

"Hi Hodgie," she said. "Are you here for a reason?"

"Uh, yeah," he replied. "Booth is ready for you Brennan." Brennan turned around and grasped her friend's hand.

"Ready Bren?" asked Angela. Brennan swallowed and nodded.

"I'm ready," she said with a smile. "I couldn't escape if I wanted to."

"Because you're finally facing your Waterloo?"

"Yeah…"

My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Brennan's POV

I tried to hold him back. I tried so hard because I didn't want to let anyone get too close to me. But he was stronger than me. He pushed back and now my only chance seems to be giving up the fight. There were men before. I kept them at arms length though. Booth…he broke down my defences and stole my heart. My heart that I had locked in a box. But how could I have refused? I always feel like I win, even when I lose.

Just like Napoleon, I was defeated at my own Waterloo. I was defeated and Booth won the war. And I'm about to promise to love him forevermore. I'm about to say it, here it is!!

"I do," I said softly.

I said it! I couldn't escape from it even if I wanted to. I know my fate (even though I don't believe in fate) is to be with him. I finally faced my Waterloo. I got over my greatest fear – loving someone.

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose -
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

Booth's POV

She said it! I can't believe it! She didn't faint or run away and she didn't stop anybody at all! I bet I've got a goofy grin on my face. Or maybe it's just my charm smile.

Angela's POV

They're married! I can't believe they're married! They're still my favourite couple but now they're actually a couple and not a non-couple! I'm so happy that I lean over and give Jack a kiss as we walk down the aisle after them.

A/N: The end! For real this time. So please review. My muse would greatly appreciate it.
