Here is Chapter 2,

Oh, and I don't own Bones.

Temperance Brennan wasn't used to summer yet. She woke up this morning at 5:30 am and couldn't get back to sleep. So, she did as she normally would on any usual weekday. Climbed out of bed, changed into her tiny running shorts and a sports bra and pulled on her navy blue track jacket. After dressing she grabbed her ipod off of the desk and headed downstairs to slip into her running shoes. Plugging into the music she zippered up and headed out into the early morning light.

She was in the zone today and a mile and a half in she hadn't started feeling fatigued. She rounded the corner and sped around the park, beginning her journey back home.


He had always loved a good morning jog but seeing as it was to early to be running around in an area he wasn't familiar with, he decided to instead go for a swim. His uncle's house was rather large and in came with a sizeable in-ground pool perfect for swimming laps. Booth grabbed his trunks and a towel out of the bathroom and headed out to the back yard. After stretching for a bit, he dove in the chill of the cool water spread over his skin and he began to glide through the water. He did this for about 30 minutes before he realized the boys would be getting up soon and he still had to get breakfast ready for them. Pulling himself out of the pool he toweled off his chest and walked inside, stopping to check out the kitchen before going out to his car. Snatching an apple out of fruit bowl on the island and throwing the towel over his shoulder he headed outside and skipped down the front stairs. His phone was sitting on the front seat, with a quick reach he grabbed it and was about to head inside, when he saw her jogging down the block. With a slight smile gracing her lips and her head bobbing to her music she looked undeniably adorable.


Brennan had lost herself in the music blasting in her ears. Her body was starting to slow down and she looked up to take in her surroundings when she saw the stranger from the other night leaning against his stupid SUV smiling at her. All she wanted to do was wipe that cock smirk off of his face, but instead she just sped past him and ran up her front stairs to her porch. She glanced back at him as she pulled out her headphones and un zipped her jacket. He ran his hand through his wet hair, making it spiky and disorderly, shook his head and took a bite of his apple. There was something about him that made her feel flitty, he was one of those all American boys, messy brown hair, broad shoulders, sexy six-pack. She couldn't deny her attraction, but she knew his type, the jock who can get anyone he wants and treats everyone like they are only on this planet to serve at his pleasure. That isn't how she wanted to start her summer. He was one to be avoided.


Seeley was making pancakes when Liam came downstairs. Liam was 12 and really into academics, Booth didn't have anything in common with him. But, he knew that he was a great big brother to the others, and a super good kid with a kind heart.

"Seel, man it's good to see you. Especially with pancakes." Liam said with a sleepy smile covering his face.

"Hey kiddo, you the first to get up?"

"Nah, Oliver is showering and Sampson's watching tv in the den."

"Well then more pancakes for you," He handed the platter to Liam,

He headed into the den in the hopes of getting Sampson to eat. He was pleasantly surprised to see to little feet hanging over the back of the couch. Booth snatched them up and yanked the small child into the air. The room was filled with the sound of giggles and squealing.

"Put me…..put me…..put me down." Sampson finally got out after many tried attempts between laughing fits.

Seeley set him on the floor and pointed towards the kitchen with and eyebrow raised, challenging the child. Sampson quickly ran in the direction of the finger, laughing the whole time. Following him, Booth was half way there when he was hit in the head with a pair of socks. Turning to see what brought on this act he was attacked by the body of an excited 10 year old.

"Dude, you're here."

Booth laughed, "Yep, here I am. Now go eat your breakfast."

"Man, I have so much to tell you about. Hey can we play some b-ball later, I can do three pointers now like a pro." The child was thrilled to see his cooler older cousin.

"Sit down at the table and we will talk about what we are going to do today."

Following his instructions Oliver sat down at the table next to his brothers and grabbed a plate a breakfast smothering his pancakes in syrup. Liam who was finished carried his plate over to the sink and washed his dishes then face. "Can we please do camp for like at least two hours, cause all my friends are and its our year this year."

Sampson looked up from his food and said rather gleefully. "Camp? I wanna go, Bobby will be there too, and Lyle."

Booth looked at Oliver, "That okay with you?"

He looked at his brothers and then to Seeley, "Sure, as long as you come. We could play some basketball with my friends then."

Seeley clapped his hands together and said rather contently, "Okay so you guys finish, and clean up, get dressed, and then we will can go to, ummm camp. I'm going to go shower." He moved to exit the kitchen but noticed that Liam was right behind him.

"Hey just a heads up, usually they don't like nannies or babysitters at camp. So be sure to tell them you're family."

"Thanks bud." He was about to go upstairs when he thought of something to ask the kid. "Hey Liam, the girl next door. How old is she?"

A huge smile grew on the boys face, "Temperance Brennan? She's 16. Why?"

Booth turned and started up the steps, "I just couldn't remember from last years trip out here."


For some odd reason during her shower this morning she felt a strange compulsion to shave her legs. And when she was getting ready, she decided to wear her dark khaki girl's shorts, instead of guys basketball shorts like usual. It wasn't odd for Temperance to want to look nice, but she knew that today's dressing had to do with a certain neighbor's guest. The Roberts were nice as can be, especially Liam. He was 4 years younger but really wise for his age, and has had a crush on her since she babysat him when they were younger. All of the Roberts boys went to camp so it wouldn't be a surprise if she were to see mystery man today. Angela was going to get a kick out of this. Thank god she was working this year too.

Temperance left her house and locked the door, stepping out into the sunlight and breathing in the fresh scent of summer. Unlocked her brothers car door and pulled out of the driveway, headed towards the park and community center. She parked on the street instead of the lot, thinking its better to have the car in the shade. Once inside she found Angela at a table and sat down next to her.

"Hey, how are you this morning?"

"Good, but man I had a late last night."

"I'll bet, so did we get assignments yet?" trying to see if she missed anything yet.

"You and me have blue today. Apparently blue is the younger kids, here are a list of the possible "campers"." She handed Brennan the list of names and she skimmed it looking of someone familiar and near the bottom was the name Sampson Roberts. Her heart skipped a beat, but she shook her head, little kids wasn't really her thing.

"The little kids, what other colors are there?" She asked hopeful she might luck out and get to trade campers.

"Well purple is youngest, then blue, apparently then yellow, red, and orange is the oldest. And I think he has the oranges." She pointed at a boy their age who was reading and sitting on the floor, it was Jack Hodgins, he old chem. lab partner.

She walked over to him and casually said hi, then promptly begged him to trade groups. He seemed hesitant at first and once she explained that by switching he would get to be in charge of half of a group instead an entire one, he reluctantly agreed. They traded lists and to her delight she say another familiar name on the list, Liam Roberts.

Thank you for the nice reviews :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I hope you enjoy this part just as much...
