"That was the most horrifying experience I have ever had. Seriously that surpassed telling my mum I was sexually active and her giving me 'the talk'." Katie lamented to her accomplice, "I can't believe she shanghaied me like that."
He laughed, "Sorry I thought Booth would have warned you about Angela. I learnt that one the hard way too. I just didn't believe the stories he told about the Squints."
She groaned, "I didn't believe either, it just doesn't seem real; I feel like I have just ran a marathon. It must just have been a terrible dream." She rested her head on the bench. "Help."
Sully patted her shoulder. "Think positive. Did you find a dress?"
"To Angela's specifications; every single one right down to the flower girl," she raised her head slightly to smirk.
"Every single one? Wow."
She pulled a piece of paper out of her handbag. "Yes, they were very specific; see right down to shape and texture of the fabric to the stitching used."
Sully let out a low whistle while viewing the page of specifications. "Not bad."
Katie tapped her manicured nails on the bench. "I do believe those girls are going to ruin my wedding."
"I do believe that is their plan; you did cross them. So what are you gonna do next?"
She shrugged, "I don't know yet, I am at a complete loss. Coffee? Tomorrow round 11 ish?"
He paid for their meal and smiled. "Yeah no problems, I have an appointment at 10 so that's fine."
They left the diner and called their goodbyes at the door. "Keep scheming."
"Planning the attack as we speak."

Angela's car turned out of the shopping centre car park. "That was brilliant Bren, recruiting Rebecca."
"Not really, Rebecca has been asking when I was going to make a move on Booth, though I don't believe it was what she was expecting."
"Bren not to be a party pooper but are you sure this is a move you want to make? You have always been so against it."
"He drew the line, I am just crossing it. I haven't been this sure of anything since I chose my degree."
Angela glanced at her, "That is sure. What made you do this?"
"It was something Dad said about Mum, and then Booth said something similar about me on the phone to Cullen."
"Statements of love to his boss? That's serious."
"Not love, Ange. Love doesn't exist. It is just chemicals reacting…"
Angela stopped her, "Whatever gets you through the night. If you don't believe in love why are you doing this?"
"Because he is my partner in everyway and I am not letting him make that mistake. He will realise that a sexual relationship is the next step in our partnership."
"But you are going to marry him to make the point?"
"Yes, even if love is a chemical reaction, I feel the reaction and he does too."
"Awwww sweetie if that is as close as you are gonna get to saying you love him I am so happy and proud you said it to me." She giggled and Brennan sunk into her chair realising that was exactly what she had just said. "Its ok sweetie, I will support you all the way too the altar."
They pulled up at Brennan's apartment complex, and she got out taking with her the bag they had gone back to get after Katie had left. "See you tomorrow Ange, I am going to have a long bath before I pack."
"Night Hun."

Rebecca had left Booth voicemail message asking if Parker could stay with him for the night as she had something come up, both Booth and Parker where ecstatic to get the extra time together and had decided to hire a couple of movies and stay up late. It was a Saturday night after all.
After all the problems that he had been having with Rebecca recently Booth was glad that Bones had organised this on his behalf. She had really gone above and beyond for him in this matter; Parker really was the most important person in his life beside his Bones.
"Parker what do you want to watch first?"
Parker bounced on the couch, happy as he could be, "Dumbo."
Booth smiled indulgently, all day Parker had been talking about Pink Elephants. He could hear Bones in his ear telling him how it is genetically possible to have a white Elephant but not a pink one. He shook his head trying to clear her voice from echoing in his ears when the door opened and Katie let herself in.
"Hey spunky what's for dinner?"
Parker stopped his bouncing and crinkled up his nose, "Daddy," he whispered, "Can you marry Dr Bones instead?"
Booth did a double take, "But you like Katie; she is your teacher."
Parker tilted his head to side and stared earnestly back his father's face, "You told me only get married to the person you love, you love Dr Bones."
Booth could hear Katie putting her bags in the guest room. "We can talk about this after I talk to Katie about dinner." He went to press play but Parker stopped him.
"Daddy, you said we would watch together." He whined.
Booth relented, "Wait then we will, I will order the pizza."
"Pizza!" the bouncing resumed, "I want pineapple."
Booth cringed as he left the room, unable to believe his son had fruit on his pizza. He entered the guest room currently being occupied by Katie thou he couldn't see her behind the satin and lace.
"Katie?"
A hand rose above the clouds of white. "Do you like my dress? And why didn't you stop me when I told you Angela wanted to take me shopping."
Booth smirked, "I did tell you, but why did you come home with all this?" He gestured around the room.
"We are getting married in 7 days." She smiled.
"One week!"
"Yep we are getting in before she is meant to leave."
Booth was a little overwhelmed. This was not the way it was mean to be. "Parker is here and we are gonna order pizza. Any preferences?"
Katie stopped, "Parker is here?"
Booth nodded, "He is asking me about my wedding? I thought he wouldn't know? I don't want him to be involved in this. I don't want him to be confused."
Katie nodded apologetic, "I will fix it, but meat lovers would be great."
Booth left the room and Katie stared at her dress, 'Rebecca is against me too, how am I gonna regain control?' she ran her fingers along the stitching. 'I will win.'
