DISCLAIMER: I do not own Bones

There really is a bar like this in Chico, Ca that i love. That is my inspriation. But this is only the first part of this part of the series

The week had gone on with out a hitch. Brennan had seen Booth every night, but during the day he had been absent. They hadn't had a case this week and Brennan had gotten a lot of her limbo cases done, and had written 2 new chapters for her new book. She was ahead of schedule on that and her publisher was pleased. Her relationship with Booth seemed to lighten her mood. She woke up happy and went to bed fulfilled. She couldn't remember a time like this in her past and she could feel the knot of dread start tieing up her insides. She would fight it. He would not leave her no way. He promised. She smiled to her self at the memory of the night before danced through her head. They had made dinner together at her Apartment. Feeding each other throughout the process of cooking the food. When it was finally done, they both realized that they really weren't hungry any more and with that Booth scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom. She smiled to herself as she glanced at the computer screen.

"BRENNAN" Angela was yelling at her right next to her. She covered her ears and glanced up at her friend.

"Angela, I'm right here there is no reason for you to scream." She removed her hands from her ears while talking.

"Well, I've been saying your name for the past 2 or 3 minutes and didn't get a response so I did what any friend being ignored would do I yelled at you. Now c'mon we gotta go get ready for tonight."She beamed. She new things had changed for the better between her best friend and her hunky partner but Brennan had not come out and said what exactly was going on. But she had a plan. It would all come out tonight.

"Oh Ang, I don't think so. I think i already have plans." She searched her memory, she was sure Booth had said something about doing something tonight but she couldn't remember.

"Well all of us are going, even Booth. "She smiled but turned towards the door starting to walk out.

"Booth is going?" Brennan would remember Booth telling her that he was going out with the squints.

"Yeah, he said he would come when I talked to him about an hour ago. The place is really fun it just opened up and it's all country themed. They even have a mechanical bull." Angela was grinning she needed this to work.

"Well if everyone is going I guess I should go to. What do I wear to a country bar." Brennan gave Angela a questioning look. She had never been anywhere that seemed to resemble what she was talking about.

"That's where I come in." Angela said pulling her by the arm out of the office. "We'll pick up some take out and get ready we're meet everyone at the Barn at 9pm and it's already 6:30, so no more wasting time."

"The Barn, why would we go to a Barn.?"

"Honey, the name of the bar is called 'The Barn'." She was laughing as she pulled her friend from the building.

Booth stepped through the big double doors and walked up the stairs that lead to the large bar. The loud music filled his ears. He winced. It's not that he doesn't like country music, it's just not his favorite. When Angela had called earlier in the day, he only agreed because she flat out told him that Bones was coming. He knew that they had plans tonight, but for the life of him he could not remember what they were. So he figured this is what she had mentioned so of course he would meet everyone there at 9. 'The Barn', was new but already had a reputation around town for a fun place to go. He glanced around the room and spotted Zach and Hodgins planted at the bar. Zach looked nervous, he always did. He remembered back a couple months prior when he had gotten helplessly drunk and told everyone how he loved them and then had started to cry. Booth laughed at the memory.

"Booth, glad you came." Hodgins handed him a beer.

"Yeah, who on earth picked this place out." He took a swig of the beer trying to calm his nerves.

"Man do you really have to ask it was Angela all the way. " Hodgins was laughing.

"I guess that was a dumb question huh? Where are the girls." He glanced at his watch it was after 9.

"Angela just called they are parking the car and will be up. Speak of the devil." Angela was walking towards them in a pair of tight wranglers and a small halter top. On her head she had a neon pink cowboy hat. He grinned, if he knew Angela Bones herself would be in something similar.

Angela leaned in and kissed Hodgins. "Booth, you made it. We didn't see your car out side so we figured you were late." Angela was smirking she was up to something but Booth didn't know what and he was a little nervous. He glanced around the room.

"Wheres' Bones?"

" The ladies room. We had a couple of shots before we left so she had to go." She was grinning ear to ear. Something was definitely up. Booth gulped down the rest of his beer and ordered a shot. He felt like he was going to need it.

Well, I ain't never been the Barbie doll type

No, I can't swig that sweet Champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night

In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate

I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait

Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip

I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

The song had started when he saw her walking. She had a black cowboy hat matching Angela's on her head. A white halter top clung to her. exposing everything from her belly button down. The smooth expanse of skin showing took Booths breath away. She had on a pair of black wranglers, with a huge belt buckle on the front but he was too far away he couldn't make it out. Angela downed the shot she had in her hand.

"Oh My God! I love this song." She ran on to the dance floor to stop Brennan in her tracks and puled her into the middle of the floor. They began to dance swiveling their hips to the music Angela was belting out the lyrics and Brennan was laughing with her head tilted back. Booth smiled. Brennan glanced his way and winked at him.

The song ended and the girls were laughing and walking towards the boys. A girl in daisy duke get up edged her way over to booth holding a tray of shots. " Want a shot, They're different flavors of Kamikazes." She was grinning at Booth. He glanced around and Hodgins was trying not laugh, Zach just looking confused.

"Sure, Everyone gets one though. He handed her a 10, She handed out the shots to everyone standing there. Brennan downed hers without even asking what it was. She looked at booth who was staring at her belt buckle.

"Sexy huh?" Booth grinned and put his thumbs in his belt pushing out his own buckle.

"Cocky?" Brennan grinned back, she was tipsy. "I'm so glad we have belt buckles that describe us best." She Burst into giggles.
