There was a knock on the door, and Cam entered.
"Dr. Brennan…we could really use your help out in the lab. Since you are leaving early for your big presentation at the university, we want to make sure we're all caught up." She smiled as she closed the door behind her.
Brown eyes met blue. "I totally forgot about that presentation."
"What are you going to do?"
"There's only one thing TO do. You're going to have to come with me."
"I hate those presentations." A feminine voice whined.
"I know you do" a masculine sigh rose, "but they expect to see you. I mean me. They expect to see Dr. Brennan AND hear Dr. Brennan."
"Can't I just tell you what to say?"
"You really think you can memorize my entire speech and give it like I would give it? No…we'll have to do it together."
"And what? You'll feed me lines? Not happening. Because we are going to figure out how this happened and FIX it"
"Booth, we have to prepare for the worst. Now, do you have anything going on tonight that I should prepare for?"
"Not tonight, thank God, but tomorrow night I have a hockey game, and I really, really don't want you to see that."
"Why not? It's a perfectly acceptable male ritual activity. I've been studying them for years. I'm sure I'll adapt quite effectively in your body."
Feminine brown eyes widened "Yeah, Bones…but you KNOW I'm going to have to go along, just to make sure you keep ME safe."
"I can take care of myself" a male shoulder shrugged. "And your body, too"
"Dr. Brennan?" Cam knocked again and poked her head inside the room. "Please?"
Booth and Brennan looked at one another. Brennan reached out a fist, and Booth bumped one against it. At least they could do that much.
