The partners walked shoulder to shoulder toward the parking lot.
"Hey, Bones" Booth paused, then squirmed a bit, (jeez bras were uncomfortable!), "You, uh, didn't say anything to any of the guys in the locker room, did you?"
Her wide brow furrowed, and she tapped the hockey stick on the ground. "You mean about us being switched? No…of course not."
"Uh, no, I uh…I meant on their…physical appearance. Anything 'anthropological' or anything like that?"
"Oh, I see what you mean."
There was a silence, and Booth began to grow worried. "Well…did you? Or, you know…look at them in a…"
"Sexual manner?" she smiled, brown eyes wide in innocence.
"Bones…please tell me you didn't…" Booth groaned.
A male shoulder shrugged. "I didn't say anything, but I can't help it if I admired my surroundings. I'm sure you have done the same thing."
Booth thought back to the woman he'd seen in the restroom at the mall. The one whose tight skirt had been tucked into her pantyhose. "Uh, no comment…"
Brennan just laughed as they made their way into the diner.
"Ah, Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan" the night waitress smiled. "Right this way."

"What are you going to have, Booth?"
He shrugged and set the purse down on the seat. "Same as normal, I guess. A burger and fries. And pie." He grinned. "Pie is going to enter this body. And…meat!"
"Well, I am going to have a salad!"
The waitress looked at them like they were crazy, but then…that was pretty par for the course with these two.
"You know…" Brennan began, "I really can't go anywhere without being accosted by women. I mean… I've noticed it a couple of times, when we've worked together in the past, but really…it's shameful, some of the things women say about your body."
Booth smiled. "Yeah, well, that goes double for me. And the worst thing is that I actually DO know what the guys looking at me are thinking."
"You do?"
"Oh, uh…what?" Booth took a quick drink of water.
"You said you know what they are thinking, when they look at you in my body."
'Oh, um…oh, the food's here. We'd better eat up." He stalled.
