Insanity is contagious
Angela had watched her best friend all day and could tell something was different but she couldn't put her finger on it. The scientist had not berated any of her students even when they made mistakes and there seemed to be a happy glow around her that had not been there for quite awhile.
Angela was sitting upon the platform talking to Hodgin's but her shrewd eyes followed her friend as Brennan walked into her office, "Something is up with that girl."
"What's that babe?"
Angela rolled her eyes, she truly loved Hodgin's but sometimes he was clueless. She wanted some answers, so with new resolve stood up, "Nothing I'm going to get some answers."
Angela walked into her best friend's office to see her furiously scribbling notes into a journal. It seems her friend was working even harder than normal today, a little curious she asked, "What's with the even crazier work ethic?"
Brennan looked up from her work, "I have a date tonight and need to finish the work before I leave." The fact that she was also trying to read upon several supernatural books she tracked down was left unsaid.
She was unsure how she was going to explain the cross she was wearing; let alone the fact she accepted the supernatural. These were not concepts that could usually be associated with the ultra logical anthropologist.
Angela's jaw dropped hearing the news, "That's great sweetie do I know the guy?"
Brennan looked up, "You'll meet him when he comes to collect me."
Angela was a little confused, "Not gonna give me a clue?"
Angela saw what could only be described as a teasing grin on her best friend's face, "No that's all I say."
Angela left her friends office even more confused than when she entered. Her friend had seemed much more relaxed and acted less formal than she was accustomed to from Brennan. She had admitted she was going on a date and Angela guessed that whoever it was was important to Brennan. The only question that remained was who was the new man in Brennan's life? Also, why were none 'squints' aware of this new man?
An evil thought took a hold though; it did not really matter because she was sure that Booth would scare them away.
Hodgin's walked into the area that served as a coffee break and breathed a sigh of relief. He loved his girlfriend dearly but once she decided to follow a certain path, then she could not be deterred. He came and sat down on the sofa, "Wendell is your girl as crazy mine?"
The graduate student blushed, "No why you ask?"
"It seems Dr B has a new man."
Wendell started blushing and excused himself. Hodgin's frowned, it seemed the young graduate was catching whatever sanity was invading the air. Although, it could also mean that Wendell knew what was going on but that could not be the case could it.
Bones had finished all her work and changed into the dress she had brought with her to the office. She kept one smart dress in the office, as she was often required to attend functions so it was just easier to keep one dress at the office.
She heard her cell beep with a message; it was Booth letting her know that he was outside. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She was aware that she was acting as if she was on a sugar rush but she was so close to having a date with her one true love. It sounded ridiculously clichéd and sappy but it was true. She thought it ironic that as Booth and Brennan, they never seemed to catch a break and as Buffy and Angel, they were just so damn tragic. However, since their memories were returned they seemed to have found a happy medium.
Angie greeted Booth as he entered the lab although she noted he was not really paying any attention to her. Well until she noticed him wearing a smart suit and look of utter devotion that crossed his face a moment later. Angie turned to find out what he was looking at, only find her best friend standing at the top of the stairs.
All of the artist's synapses were firing in happiness. Booth thought that the resulting squeal was loud enough to register in outer space. Bones graced him with a sexy smirk and stole a quick kiss before slipping her hand in with his.
The couple seeing the rapidly converging squints decided that discretion was the better part of valour and decided to make a quick exit.
A/N Next up: The date is arriving. Will it go smoothly? Will their be interruptions and if their was will it be mundane or supernatural? As always, I am grateful to all who have read this story and any reviews.
