A/N: This is for m3llowgirl. It's a little different but I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the suggestion, the song is beautiful…literally (haha).

All cases were hard to deal with, but this last one was a real heart wrencher. A young couple in love, with their lives together, holding nothing but promises of a wonderful future. Marshal and Therese wrote songs together and sang those songs together. All this was torn apart by a random shooting during the bachelorette party on the streets of D.C. That night, Booth had the misfortune of telling a man that the woman who would be his wife was gone. The man cried, Booth cried with him.

The case wrapped up fairly quickly, being that there were quite a few witnesses to the shooting. Booth, Bones, and the rest of the crew attended the funeral, paying their respects to a young life taken away.

After the service, Marshal walked over to where they were all gathered. "I just wanted to thank you all again for doing everything you could to find out what happened to Therese. I will never forget how hard you all worked. As you know, Therese and I were musicians. There is a gig tomorrow night that has been on the books for a month now. I was going to cancel, but the more I thought about it, the more I began to reconsider. It started to feel like canceling would tarnish her memory, and I would rather die before I did something like that. Anyway, I'm singing at The Hypodown and would love it if you guys could come."

Without even the slightest hesitation, the entire group smiled, nodded heads, and promised to be there.

At 10:00 pm, they arrived and sat at their reserved tables. Booth and Brennan were the last to sit, but naturally, the only two seats left were right next to each other. The first round of drinks had come and gone when Marshal took the stage. He walked up to the mic, cleared his throat, and began to speak. "The first song I am going to sing is not one that Therese and I wrote. This song was "our" song. We did so many things while this song played. We hugged, kissed, danced, cried, dreamed, made love. The song is "Beautiful" by Trading Yesterday."

Marshal looks up and says,"This is for you Therese, my Beautiful."

And time stands still beneath the air of waiting hours
To touch, just to feel a love that seems to overpower me
She's all I'll ever need
And you know her love just hypnotizes me
'Till all I see is beautiful

Listening to the words of the song, Booth looks over at Brennan. He thinks about how one minute, Marshal had everything he could ever dream of, and the next it was gone. God forbid, what if something like that happened to him? He steals another glance at her and her unique beauty takes his breath away. Before he can stop himself, he puts his hand on top of hers. She looks over at him, but doesn't move her hand. What she does is spread her fingers and lets his intertwine with her own.

At night I dream that you were sent to me from heaven
My Life, it seems so lonely here without your presence
You could change my everyday
And I could never think of love without your name
As you remain

Beautiful, like the summer rain to wash away the winter stain
Beautiful, like the morning sun inviting the dawn to break
Beautiful, like the joy that comes when the love you've longed for has just begun
Beautiful, making everything brand new
Beautiful you

His heart begins to feel like it is going to burst and suddenly he needs to pull her into his arms. He stands up, ignoring her questioning looks. He pulls her from her seat and proceeds to lead her to the patio doors. The sky had let loose a torrential rain, but that doesn't stop him. Nothing could stop him now.

He pushes the doors open, and outside they go, instantly getting soaked. He holds her within an inch of himself, and through the pounding rain he can hear her ask, "Booth! What the hell are we doing out here?"

He doesn't answer with words. Instead, he wants to show her.

He raises his right hand to brush back the hair that has become plastered to her face. She looks up at him, blinking rapidly, trying to keep the rain drops from falling into her eyes. He notices the blinking and why she's doing it. He knows that if she closed her eyes, the problem would be solved. All he had to do was make her close her eyes.

He leans down slowly and she closes her lids, anticipating his kiss. The jolt that ran through both bodies was electrifying, which made them feel like they were on fire. They kissed, tasted, and explored each other, both refusing to let go.

And all this time you're changing me to something better
A love so high that everyday that we're together
I will leave the world below
Until your heart becomes the only thing I know
All I know is

As Marshal finished the song, he noticed the couple out on the patio. He smiled, knowing that his and Therese's song had now become theirs as well.
