I do not own bones
A/N I was nice enough to not require a review quota last chapter so this time I would like to get at least 100 reviews and if I get over 110 I will post 2 chapters at once. Merry Early Christmas.
After school everyone went back to the Hodgin's mansion. They had a small party with everyone's family and siblings. For some reason Russ was acting more mature than seemed humanly possible.
At the end when everyone was leaving, Mr. Hodgins invited everyone to Thanksgiving dinner. Mrs. Booth and Mr. and Mrs. Brennan said they would love to come. Mrs. Montenegro said she would have to check her schedule because her husband was away on business but she wanted to come as well.
The last week before Thanksgiving break Zach was on cloud nine, everyone was excited to get a whole week off. The last day before break the teacher announced that they would be doing a Secret Santa throughout the month of December. And everyone would have to pick a name out of a hat.
When she got to Tempe's table, Tempe went first. She pulled out a girl named Meghan Emery. Tempe didn't know her very well but she knew that she liked horses. Angela was thrilled when she pulled out Zach. Zach turned a bright shade of red when he pulled out a girl named Emily Masson. He had a big crush on her and wanted to get her a great gift. Jack pulled out booth and wondered what to get him. He thought Tempe might know. He would have to ask her later. Booth was the last one to pick. He dug his hand to the very bottom of the basket and pulled out the last one before his hand scraped the bottom. He pulled open the tight folds and read the name Temperance Brennan. He turned even brighter red than Zach and stuffed it in his pocket.
After school he saw Jack talking to Tempe and wondered what they could be saying. He shrugged it off and got on the bus.
Jack and Tempe were actually talking about secret Santas.
"Tempe, do you know what booth might want?" Jack asked
"Jack, um I was kinda wondering, um will you switch people with me? Please?
Jack started laughing and managed to choke out "Why? Do you want to have your boyfriend?"
Tempe turned red and slapped him across the face. "Owwww"
"Knock it off Jack. I'm sorry I hit you, please switch with me."
"Ok fine but you better help me figure out what to get Meghan"
"Yeah whatever" She said distractedly as they got on the bus and sat in the seats Angela and Booth had saved for them. Angela asked what they had been talking about.
"oh you'll see" Tempe answered smiling.
