Here's chapter 3,

And still don't own Bones.

He had finished showering, shaved, got dressed and was n the process of deciding what cologne and deodorant to put on. Finally resorting to eny meny miny mo, he selected his bottle of Givenchy and moved out of the bathroom. From downstairs he could hear Oliver fighting with Sampson for no reason. He started down the stairs and once he was finished pulling the boys off each other, he called down for Liam to hurry. He sent the younger boys out to the car and went up stairs to usher Liam long.

After about a minute of waiting outside his door, Booth went inside to get him, but didn't find him there. Instead he was heard a call from down the hall in his uncle and aunts room. Liam was standing in the master bathroom smelling his father's different cologne and after shaves.

"What are you doing?" he asked the boy

"I want to smell nice and not like bio."

"Well are you wearing deodorant?" he asked simply

"Yea."

"And you showered this morning?"

"Yeah."

"Your fine, plus your to young for this stuff. And you don't want to smell like 50 year old man."

"I just want to be cool and smooth," he responded meekly

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No,"

"Okay follow me." Booth led the boy to his room and into the attached bathroom. He pulled out bottle of Burberry Summer, took Liam's finger put a drop on and rubbed it then into his neck. "Can we go now?"

"Yeah, hey thanks man." They got into the SUV and headed towards the park.

"Did you hear the Roberts cousin is in town?" asked Brennan

"No, why have you met him?"

"Well I ran into him yesterday and this morning."

"Is he hot?" she asked bluntly

"Well some would say so, he is rather well perfected sculpture of the physical form."

"So he's hot and buff, are you like interested in him? Cause if he is next door he probably knows Russ."

"No, I'm not interested. He kind of seems like an ass."

"Oh he sounds perfect to me."

It turned nine o'clock and children began showing up and the room started to fill with many bright colors and loud noises. Brennan stood next to the orange flag and talked to parents about activities for the week, all the while introducing herself to the children. It started to settle down around 9:30 once the kids were sitting at their tables and busy decorating their orange flag. She was about to set more sequence and glitter pens on the table when a little body ran right into her legs and the child fell down. She looked down to see if they were okay and was surprised to see little Natalie O'Connor. Natalie was a 7 year old who she had previously babysat for. The girl was now sitting on the floor crying about the situation and Temperance felt rather guilty. So she picked the crying child up and carried her over to Angela who was in charge of this kids group and Angela gave her a juice box.

"You made her cry?" Angela asked

"No she fell down, it wasn't my fault." She replied defensively

"So that guy you were talking about before, does he have classic good looks, an earth shattering smile and spend his time with the Roberts kids?"

"I wouldn't say earth shattering or even mind blowing but yes basically. Why?"

"Because he's coming this way." Brennan didn't even respond, she just turned and walked back to her table and supplied more glue for her campers.

Oliver went over to the yellow table and sat down with his friends. They were all drawing a skull on the flag and there were also images of a soccer ball, and basketballs. Meanwhile, Seeley took Sampson over to his group where Jack Hodgins checked him in, gave Sampson a juice box and explained how camp worked to Booth. Then once he was finished there, he followed Liam over to the loudest and most exciting seeming table. There were tweleve 12 year olds all playing with glue, glitter, markers, paint, and various other art supplies and at the same time telling not so funny jokes that they find hilarious. Instead of just sitting down like Oliver did, Liam went to check in with his counselor who he was excited to see was none other then Temperance Brennan.

"Hey Tempe, you're oranges leader this year?"

"Liam, nice to see you. Well for this week I am. Why don't you go sit down with the other kids, assembly and orders for the day are starting soon." She suggested.

"Okay, but first you should meet my cousin, this is Seeley Booth." He pushed Seeley towards her; while Booth offered her his hand, which she kindly took.

"Nice to meet you, I'm sure you already know what is happening here, so excuse me I have to settle these kids down." She brushed past him and felt her heart flutter a little when they touched. After getting most of the table to tone it down and focus on the presentations about upcoming events she began to relax. Maybe this wouldn't be as annoying as she expected.

Booth was standing in the back of the room as the leaders discussed with the whole group what was going to happen this week. Jack had filled him in earlier about the different clubs and groups and the schedule for the kids during the day. Apparently they had part of the day sectioned off for sports and then art and crafts classes, and read/learning time, while the rest was free play or club time. He wondered in the back of his mind what club Temperance took charge of.

From the corner of his eye he could see one of the leaders in Sampson's group staring at him with great concentration. Doing his best to ignore it he planned out his next move. Not knowing what exactly to do he waited until the meeting was over and he sneaked over to Oliver's group. Oliver was in the middle of a conversation with another boy but it ceased once he became aware of Booths prescience.

"Hey would it be alright if I left for awhile, I'll be back for your sports time so we can play basketball"

"Yeah sure whatever dude." Booth chuckled and stood up. He made his way over to tell Liam his plan, but once he got to the table he couldn't spot him. Relying on the other children he asked where they had last saw him and the consensus of the group was he was helping Brennan setting up outside. So, he headed outside to track down the little guy. Once he got outside they were easy to spot. She was carrying a ball bag and he was following her like a little soldier. Then it hit him, Liam has a crush on her, Wow. He jogged over to catch up with the duo and with a smile permanently plastered to his face he caught Liam's attention.

"Bud, I'll be back later to pick you up. I have my cell if you need me."

"Oh, your not staying I thought that you were going to play basketball with Oliver for most of the day."

"Well he seems to be pretty busy with his friends so I figured I'd go get some other things done. But hey if you want me to stay, I have no problem staying."

Liam looked over at Temperance, who was pretending not to listen, and the back to Seeley, "Well I thought we could catch up, I haven't seen you in a year. But sure you can leave."

"You know what buddy, I think I'll stay. I mean as long as she doesn't mind." He gestured at Brennan.

Liam looked at him and the called over to her, "Tempe, can my cousin stay with us today?" he asked politely.

"Yeah sure, that's fine with me." She said semi-distracted as she attempted to untie the bag of balls.

"Would you like help with that?" He offered.

"Sure why not." She walked over and passed it to him. She then reached for her walkie-talkie and requested they send orange group outside. After about a minute and a half a group of kids exited the building and were on their way over to them.

"Hey guys, I'm your leader for this week Temperance, and I'm sure you all know each other, but why don't we go around the and all say our names for my sake." They did so and then she turned to Booth, "This is Booth, he's Liam's cousin and will be helping out today." After introductions were complete, the kids had all dispersed onto the field and courts. Booth began to walk away but she grabbed his wrist as he did and made him turn make towards her.

"I'm sorry," she said as she realized she grabbed his hand without consent. "That was inappropriate, and I'm sorry I introduced you as Booth, your first name slipped my mind."

"It's perfectly okay on both counts, I like Booth better anyway." He said flashing her charm smile at her.

It had been the first day of the rest of her summer. It had all gone well, Booth took over the sport part of the say for her, and they got along well. He was hard to read though, but for the most part it seemed that he wasn't interested in her, which was kind of unsettling. But by the end of the day he had ran into Angela and she invited him to the party that night and the beach. It was the bonfire lake party celebrating the first days of summer and he had accepted her invitation. Brennan wished he hadn't because she knew Russ was going to be in town tonight and he wouldn't miss the lake party if he was around for it.

I hope you thought it was worth the time it took to read (enjoyed it).
