A/N: well! i am amazed that people read this one! so here's another chapter! yay!

"So let me get this straight. You and Booth walked into the store, found these 'handcuffs of love' put them on and now you can't take them off until you two admit your love for each other?" Angela questioned, smiling at the two grim faces nodding at her. "This is fantastic! It's better than ANYTHING I could have possibly planned, and trust me, I had A LOT planned!"
Hodgins rolled his eyes in disgust. "Angela, come on, leave them alone their obviously upset about having to admit the truth." He grinned as Brennan glared at him.
"I have no truth to tell! We are partners! That's it! Partners..." Brennan's voice faltered on the last word, causing both Booth and Angela to eye her suspiciously.
Angela nodded. "Well, now that we know how Bren feels, how about you Booth? What do you dream of alone in the dark?" She smiled sweetly.
Booth cleared his throat and looked up at the ceiling. "I don't have dreams like that Angela. I am a grown man."
Angela nodded smirking. "Yes, I think we can all tell that."
Hodgins cleared his throat. "As am I."
Angela smiled and kissed him deeply. "Of course you are Hodgins. Trust me, I will NEVER forget that." Hodgins smirked satisfactorily. However, she eyed Booth once again. "Booth, you never told us whether or not you loved Brennan."
Booth strummed his fingers on the table. "We're partners like Bones said. Just partners."
"I think you just need to find the key. It's only logical that a pair of handcuffs would have a key to unlock it." Zach stated.
Booth rolled his eyes. "If there was a key I would've found it, and if there was a hole I would be picking the lock right now."
"I'm sorry, it just seemed rational-"
"This situation isn't rational! Not everything in the world is rational." Booth interrupted.
"Like love for instance?" Angela questioned, smirking.
Booth nodded. "Yes, like love." Brennan stood up, causing Booth to hit his knees. "OUCH! Bones, a little warning please?"
Brennan nodded apologetically. "Sorry Booth, I'll try to remember next time."
"Well, my kneecaps would appreciate it if you did remember from now on."
Brennan continued, ignoring Booth. "We need to figure out a way to free us from these cuffs, and I personally would like to go to the lab to figure it out." Suddenly Angela's, Brennan's, Zach's and Hodgins's cellphones rang. They all answered and then hung up. Zach and Brennan looked horrified. Angela and Hodgins looked amused.
Booth watched them all curiously. "What? What was the message?"
"The lab is closed for repairs." Brennan answered quietly.
"That means you can't change it for tonight at least!" Angela said, a little too happily. Brennan and Booth looked at each other in shock.
"Well obviously we are staying at my place, Bones."
"No Booth! My place is larger, and more accomadating, my place is the reasonable choice!"
"Just because you are one of those one thousand dollar toilet seats doesn't mean my place isn't nice!"
"STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!" Angela yelled. They both turned to look at her. "How about this, we flip a coin to decide where you two sleep."
Booth nodded, and Brennan said "fair enough."
"Okay Bren, heads or tails?"
"Tails."
Angela flipped the coin. "Tails it is! Booth, you have to stay at Brennan's place okay?" Booth nodded grimly. They started walking to the parking lot, when Booth remembered the cars.
"Wait Bones, we came in separate cars."
"Well, since Booth is staying at your place, Bren, why don't you take his car?" Angela suggested.
"Fine." Brennan agreed, pouting slightly.
Angela walked behind Brennan and when Booth was turned slipped something into her back and whispered in her ear. "I got you his birthday present. Have fun sweetie!" And with that she walked away. Brennan looked into her bag and gasped in shock at what she saw.
"Okay Bones, we made it to the car, now we just have to get inside."
