Summary: For a sport that is more of a hobby, bowling sure has its upsides…BB implied HA. Was originally a oneshot but was extended to include more chapters.
Spoiler Alert: None
Disclaimer: You know the drill; I don't own anything
A/N: I want to thank my two anonymous reviewers for their words of encouragement.
A/N 2: One reviewer brought up a valid concern in my story, Booth's bowling ability. It was made clear in the show that Booth can and does bowl very well, however I took a little dramatic license with that to work with the storyline. Sorry if I upset anybody, I meant to say something in the first chapter but totally forgot.
Previously in, A New Appreciation for the Game;
"Okay Bones. You willing to make a bet?"
"What are the terms?"
"Well if I beat you, I get a kiss. And if you beat me I'll take you to Wong Fu's afterward."
"If I win, I get a gun."
"Absolutely not Bones."
"Fine. Then if I win, I get to drive during the next case."
"Alright Bones, you got yourself a deal."

Making her way back down the lane Angela paused to allow herself a brief victory dance. A few more strikes and this game is mine!
But all thoughts of winning were quickly driven from her head when she saw how closely Booth had leaned in to talk to Brennan.
"Booth, it's your turn!" Angela chirped gleefully, skipping down the remainder of the lane over to the now vacant seat next to Brennan and sitting down hard.
As soon as Booth was out of earshot Angela turned to face her friend, determined to extract every last detail of what had looked like a very interesting conversation.
"So Bren, sweetie. What were you and Booth talking about a minute ago? Anything juicy?"
"There was nothing '-juicy'. He asked me if I was thirsty, he was going to get a drink. That's it. Besides Ange, Booth and I are just partners. There is nothing going on between us."
"First of all, I didn't say anything about you being more than partners. No need to get defensive sweetie, unless you've got something to hide?"
Temperance shot her a seething look, which Angela promptly ignored.
"And secondly, Bren. I don't believe for a minute that there is nothing between you two, and honestly I don't think you do either. I've seen you and Booth, sweetie. There is enough built up sexual tension to power a rocket!"
For fear of getting her ass kicked, Angela decided to abandon her line of questioning for the time being and headed over to Hodgins. She smiled when she saw the way that he was looking at her. Turning back quickly to glance at Brennan, Angela went over and joined Jack.

Five frames later, they tallied up their scores. Booth was in first place, followed by Angela, Brennan, Hodgins, and Zach in last place.
"See Bones, what did I tell you. Yoo-hoo."
"Booth, I refuse to believe that a children's drink had any affect on your bowling ability."
"Well either way Bones," He said, rubbing his hands together. " I won so it looks like you lost the bet. Time to pay up!"
"Sweetie, what bet is that?" Angela inquired with a huge smile plastered across her face.
"Bones and I-"
"Ange. It's nothing, just forget it."
Slightly confused by her friend's outburst, Angela looked from Booth to Brennan. But aside from looking a little uncomfortable there was nothing in their appearances that gave them away. "Okay sweetie. Whatever you say." She raised her eyebrows suggestively; "I'll call you tomorrow."
She turned with a wink and left the bowling alley dragging the still quarreling Zach and Hodgins along with her.
A/N 3: Okay guys so I wanted to update for you as soon as possible thanks to a large number of reviews, this story isn't quite done yet which I honestly thought it would be so be patient-there is about a chapter left. I don't know how soon it will be up though; my friend is having some guy issues that have sort of snowballed. It is hard to write a nice fluffy ending for you all when I'm feeling sad for her and what she is going through!
And as always please review! They boost my confidence, ability, and if you're lucking my posting speed!
