So as not to confuse you, the first small part is in a narrative point of view and the rest is in Alyxx's. As always, let me know what I need to improve on. I would like to write this story as well as possible for you all. Thank you for your reviews! R&R. (:
Disclaimer: I only own Alyxx and the story line!
"Hello?" Brennan just got back from the lab, there was no sense in waiting around for test results when she had kids at home. There was no answer, but she could hear whispers coming from the kitchen. Walking in, her jaw dropped. She went from shocked to amused in about a second.
Alyxx and Parker had long faces, and couldn't understand why the woman whose kitchen they just destroyed was laughing.
"Don't move, I need to get a camera." With that she went into the living room, grabbed her camera, and returned to take several pictures of the white beings.
"I am so sorry." Alyxx started.
"There was a spider! This huge!" Parker told her, showing with his hands an exaggeration of the size of the spider.
"I am quite sure there was." Brennan agreed, as she put down the camera and wet a cloth, as she began to clean up the mess. Alyxx and Parker both jumped to help.
"You're not mad?" Alyxx asked.
"It's only flour, why would I be?"
The three got two work cleaning. After two long, grueling hours of cleaning and shaking out their clothing, everything was finally flour free.

"Oh, those are nice." Temperance tells me when I walk out of the dressing rooms in a pair of form fitting dark jeans.
"Yeah?"
We haven't been shopping for long, but I've already noticed that Tempe and I do not have the same taste at all. These jeans are the first thing we've agreed on so far.
"Yes, I just said that they are." She's serious, and I really can't help but laugh.
"I like them too." I check the price tag, and wow. They're worth more than I am.
I go change back into my other jeans that still have a little bit of flour on them, walk out of the dressing room, and put the jeans back on the rack.
"I'm going to be in the music store." I say.
"Alright, I'll be over there shortly." Temperance tells me.
I walk inside of the store, and go in search of what Booth told me to get. He came home right before we left. Parker cried about not getting to come, but Booth said something about 'girl time' and also something about ice cream.
I pull out the cash that he gave me and buy the cd. Turning around, I see Tempe entering the store with all of our bags, plus one from the store we were just in.
"What's that?" She asks, gesturing towards my new sack.
"Something Booth told me to get. He said that you couldn't see what it is. Sorry." I laugh at her obvious disappointment.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Can I ask you something?" Temperance asks me as we're driving back from the mall.
"You just did." I tell her, and she laughs before she gets serious.
"I was wondering if you would like to live with us, permanently. I realize that it might be too soon to evaluate if we will be good living with each other, but I am not going to put you back out on the streets."
"I would really like that." I blink back some tears that threaten to fall from my eyes, trying not to get too emotional. This is probably the best woman I have ever met.
"Cool." She looks over at me and smiles.
"Cool?" I laugh.
"Yes, that is what kids say, right?"
"Sure."

When we get back to the apartment, I hand Booth the bag from the music store and he grins. Temperance looks at us suspiciously.
"I am not even going to ask." She tells us.
"Where's Parker?" I ask. It's unusually quiet.
"You just missed him. His mom came and picked him up."
"Oh."
"Wanna come with me to get Thai?" Booth asks. I tell him that I do.
As we are driving to get the food, I decide to ask Booth the question that's been on my mind for a while. "So how long have you and Tempe been dating?"
"Four months, two weeks, and three days." I am impressed.
"You guys act like you've been dating for years." I pause. "Gonna ask her to marry you?"
"Bones doesn't believe in marriage. I respect that. All I want is to spend the rest of my life with her."
"You're kind of a big softy, you know that?"
He just smiles.
"So I Parker told me about the spider." Booth says. "He told me that you screamed pretty loudly, even though it was really tiny."
"He was the one who was afraid of it!" Booth just shakes his head an laughs. "I'm not scared of spiders." I tell him, but he just keeps grinning. "Ugh!"
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter! Oh, and I have the upcoming chapters pretty much mapped out, so that'll make updating easier.
