"Hey Lana, could you please take this swab and check the DNA." Brennan handed over the zip lock bag.
"Sure." She took the bag and walked off to the DNA lab.
"Hey Ange, Do we really have to go out tonight? I might have to be here all night to…." Brennan was cut short.
"Yes, you, Booth, Lana and Zac are coming out to dinner tonight."
"But…." She was cut short once again.
"No buts. You spend way to much time here. You need to get out more." Angela walked off before Brennan could argue any more.
Later that night they all met up at their favourite restaurant.
Booth and Lana came in the same car considering they both lived in the same building.
"Lana, you remember Zac right?" Angela said.
"Yeah. Hi." She smiled at Zac.
They all sat down at the table and ordered.
"So Zac how's Stanford?" Hodgins asked.
"Well, I'm not exactly popular there. But it's very fulfilling, mentally."
Two hours later they had all finally finished their desert although it felt like they had only been talking for 10 minutes.
"Well goodnight everyone." Angela said.
Everybody else said their good bye's, except for Angela and Hodgins who stayed. Booth and Lana to the car.
"Some night, huh?" he asked chuckling lightly.
"Yeah." Just as she replied she sneezed.
"Bless you." Booth said.
"Thanks. I think I'm getting a cold." She replied sneezing again.
"Bless you."
They reached their doors that were opposite to each other and said good night.
About a half hour later, Booth got a knock on his door.
He opened it to see Lana standing there.
"Hey, what's up?" He asked looking slightly surprised.
"Sorry, I couldn't sleep cos of my cold and I ran out of cough syrup. I was wondering if I could borrow your's?" She asked in between coughs.
"Sure, take a seat and I'll go get it from the bathroom cupboard." He smiled and walked off.
When he returned he found Lana sound asleep on his couch. He grabbed a blanket and put it over her, then he took her shoes off her feet. He was just about to turn around and go to bed when he heard another knock on the door.
This time Hodgins was standing there.
"Hey man, what's up?" Booth asked.
"I just came to drop off the boxing video you lent me." He trailed off as he noticed Lana's figure on the couch.
"Woa, way to go man." Hodgins patted him on the back.
"No it's not what it looks like. She just came of to borrow cough syrup and she fell asleep." Booth watched her as she slept.
"Uha." Hodgins said sceptically.
