Hello everyone.Thanks for reviews. Hope you like this one :P

The airport terminal was loud and crowded. Booth moved aside as some crazy man nearly ran him over with his two huge luggage cases. He kept his distance as Brennan said goodbye to Angela

They hugged, like sisters who were losing each other for the first time.

"Hey, don't forget to call me. I know South Africa must be a very happening place, but since I am going to ship all your furniture and clothes to your new place in England, I deserve a few phone calls."

"Okay, Ange. I will not forget."

"Oh, one more hug."

Brennan grinned and patted Angela's back.

Booth felt his hands go cold as he realized the plane would be leaving in thirty minutes.

Brennan moved onto Jack.

"Come on Dr. Brennan, let's show the love."

Brennan laughed, and closed her eyes as she hugged Hodgins.

Then, there was Zack. Booth was actually surprised he hadn't said more today. I mean,

everyone knew Zack followed Brennan like white on rice.

"Zack, don't forget everything I taught you."

"Don't worry Dr. Brennan. I learned from the best."

He made to hug her at the same time she did. What resulted was an awkward jumble of arms and sorry's, and laughter from everyone.

And Cam. He himself had stayed his distance from her, but Brennan wouldn't.

"I'm sorry we didn't get to know each other that well, Dr. Brennan."

Brennan nodded her head.

"I know you can take care of the Jeffersonian, Cam. Thanks."

With them, it was a handshake. It was a compromise of sorts.

Finally, Booth stood straighter as she made her way towards him.

"Is it finally my turn?"

"Yes, it is."

There was a small moment of silence as they smiled at each other. Each a little confused about how to say goodbye. It would be another four months before she would be settled enough in England to come back for a visit.

"Hey, here's looking at you kid. That's from-."

"Casablanca."

Very impressive he thought. She knows what that means.

"Well, let me hug you before you leave."

And as she came into his arms, he couldn't help but feel something slip away. It made him smile, and he fought that urge that told him to kiss her in front of everybody.

"I'm going to miss you, bones."

"I'll miss you too. Just treat my squints right."

"Ha. But they're squints," he whined in her ear.

"But they're your squints now."

She pulled away, her hand briefly resting on his chest.

"Well, I guess I better board," she said.

Brennan turned around, waved one final wave, then turned back around to leave.

Soon it was just Zack and Booth.

Staring out the large glass window, Booth thought about shooting his gun in the air, maybe that would stall the departure. Well, maybe that was a little too drastic. Instead, he walked with Zack back out the exit way.

Looking up, he saw the boarding clock blinking blue.

"Looks like they've got a glitch in their clock system."

"What are you talking about?"

Booth pointed up.

"There, it's not 6:25."

"I still don't know what you're talking about."

"What do you mean?"

Again, Booth looked up, but this time, the clock had changed.

He woke with a start with his head under the pillow. His clock on the stand was going off.

It was 6:25.

Awww. Tell me you didn't see that coming. hehehe. but wait. The next chapter is the last...
