The remainder of the night was spent playing carnival games and eating enough junk to send a dentist into heart failure. Jack discovered he was very good at target shooting games and won a large stuffed cat for Angela.

Once they returned home everyone fell asleep remembering their favorite part of the night.

Tempe went to bed feeling truly happy and thankful to be surrounded by loving family and friends. She was also very excited for her birthday party in the morning.

Booth was very proud of himself for facing the clown and proving he was brave, like Tempe. He slept well and was up early in time for his joint party with Tempe.

Angela had dared Jack to kiss her on the Ferris wheel and when they stopped at the top she nearly jumped out of her skin when he did.

Jack was not at all surprised at Angela's dare because she had been a little too obvious with her kiddy flirting since her third stick of cotton candy. (Think of it as a child version of one too many shots of vodka.)

Zach actually had nothing else on his mind other than the square root of pi and other algebraic functions. '1.772453851'

The entire team sat around the tables in the loft at the Jeffersonian eating the Chinese food they customarily ordered to celebrate a solved case.

"Wow" Cam said taking a sip of her drink "I forgot how much of a bitch I was in school. Sorry."

"Well you got better." Tempe added from her seat nestled next to Booth on the couch. She tried to get some rice on her chopsticks but gave up and switched to a fork. "Sully though, he never changed. I think I had a momentary lapse in judgment on that one."

"No not as I recall." Zack laughed. "But I don't recall much of that year. I was only four."

"Hey" Booth cut in. "Don't rub it in. We can't all be child geniuses"

Tempe kissed his cheek, "Oh leave him alone we all had our problems. Remember?"

"Yeah, who knew getting kidnapped could have such a great result" Jack said clapping Sweets on the shoulder. "We never would have met our resident nerd."

Sweets laughed. "Well I'm glad that I was only there in passing because you guys sound like you had a pretty wild first grade. Booth I had no idea your aversion to clowns stemmed back that far."

"Ok Sweetie lets leave Booth alone. We're all entitled to our fears aren't we?" Angela added snuggling closer to Jack. "Hodgie remember what happened when Sweets moved into our neighborhood in second grade?" She asked looking pointedly at Sweets. He blushed and everyone else laughed.

"Yeah first grade was pretty crazy. But remember how crazy the next year was?" Booth asked.

Everyone laughed.
