I would like to quote one of the lovely annonymous reviews I got : "Holy crap, this is bad. You aren't...serious, right?"
If you are going to insult my stories, please email me or PM me, don't put it in a review unless it is constructive criticism. I really appreceate when someone tells me what I have done wrong, but to just out right say 'this sucks' is rude.
At least sign in so that I know who you are when you insult my fics, then I can be sure to steer clear of you in the future.
On a happier note, thank you to all my faithful readers, and I am sorry for the lack of updates lately. Enjoy the next chapter, 'A day on the town part two' with Booth, Bones, Angel and Snap. ;)
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
After giving Snap and Angel firm instructions to 'Stay!', Booth dragged Tempe into the nearest clothing store.
"Alright, Bones, pick out what you need. I'll be..." Booth spun on the spot, found the 'Men's' section, and pointed in that general direction. " Over there..." Before she could argue, he was walking away from her.
She rolled her eyes and muttered something that sounded like 'Men!' before slowly making her way over to the racks of clothes.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB An hour later
"Shopping's done!" Booth said triumphantly. He turned to Tempe, who was staring off into the distance with a troubled expression. "What is it Bones?"
She didn't answer.
"Bones?" He tried again.
"What?" She asked, snapping out of her daze.
"We have somewhere to be in an hour, so I thought we could head over there now..."
"Ok." She said, climbing on her bike. She noticed Booth was staring at her curiously. "What?"
"You just seem kind of quiet, that's all." He said, climbing on his own bike.
"My birthday is in a month." She said quietly. "My brother is going to be looking for me, and when he finds out that I'm not where he left me. . . I just don't want you to get in trouble, that's all." She said with a shrug.
"Bones..." Booth responded soothingly. "Come here." She complied, and he wrapped her in a comforting embrace. "I'm not going to get in trouble, and I won't let them take you from me. Okay? You're safe now, Temperance." He murmured into her hair, placing a soft kiss there.
"If anyone finds out that you are illegally housing a foster kid, your whole family would be in trouble." Tempe stated logically.
"But Bones, all we have to do is make it to your birthday. Then you won't be property of the state and we'll be free to kidnap you and say you're one of the family." Booth argued back with a smile. He felt her let out a deep sigh.
"Alright. Let's concentrate on getting to my birthday."
"Right now, let's concentrate on getting where we have to go, we only have a half hour until-" He stopped short.
"Where are we going, Booth?" Tempe asked curiously.
"Can't tell you, Bones."
"Seeeellllleeeyyy..." She begged, putting on a pout and tugging teasingly on the collar of his jean jacket. "Please?"
Booth gulped. What is she doing to me? "Red Sox game." He squeaked out.
"Good. That wasn't so hard now was it?" She teased, hopping back on her bike and looking at him expectantly.
"No, no it wasn't." Booth answered, shaking his head.
Temperance Brennan, you are going to be the end of me.
