Third Person POV
Hodgins, Booth, Vincent, Zach, Michael, Parker and Tommy walked into the Brennan-Booth house hearing music blasting from over the garage.
"Must be Chrissy." Zach says smiling as the group walks completely in the house.
Patience runs into the room after turning the corner and into her father's arms.
"Dad, you're back! Was camping fun?"
"Yes it was."
"Is Dad the only one you see?" Parker asks his little sister.
Patience smiles at Parker before jumping on his back.
"Dad, Chrissy looks how!"
"What?" Booth asks.
"Christine looks like a girl. Like a real girl. She's so smoking right now."
"Is that LMFAO?" Vincent asks laughing.
"Yea. Shots." Patience says smiling at her big brother.
Brittney walks into the room. She has on plaid shorts with red camisole, a gray and red cardigan with white platform heels on. Her hair has a hump and is in a ponytail. Morgan follows into the room. Morgan is dressed in a blue jean dress with tan platform heels on; her hair is straight down touching the middle of her back.
"Hi Mr. Booth. Hi Dr. Hodgins." The girls say in unison.
"Hi girls." Hodgins says.
"Hi Morgan. Hi Brittney. Is Brennan here?"
"Yea, she's upstairs with Miss Angela, Cathy and Chrissy." Morgan says smiling.
"Is that you Dad?" Catherine asks walking into the room.
"Yes, it's me. … What the hell do you have on?" Hodgins asks.
Hodgins is stuck in shock as Catherine walks into the room so everyone can get a full view. Catherine has on red mini dress with white leggings on underneath, and silver platform heels on. Her hair is pinned up on one side and curled entirely on the other side.
"Mom dressed me. Don't I look good?" Cathy asks spinning in circles.
Vincent and Zach eye Cathy who waves seductively at them. Michael pushes both boys in the chest causing them to laugh. Heels click coming down the stairs. Angela and Brennan come down the stairs.
"Angie, why is she dressed like she's twenty-one?"
Angela laughs at her husband, knowing he's over-reacting.
"The girls are going out tonight. I thought I'd help them all look good. And they do." Angela says.
Booth eyes Angela suspiciously. He knew her, which meant …
"Where is Chris?" Booth asks worriedly.
The heels begin to click again. Christine turns into the hallway shocking all of the males in the hallway, most of all Michael. Last time he had seen her look like her actual gender was homecoming. She had left from Morgan's house so none of her family had seen her. Christine had on a metallic half cropped half sleeved jacket with a green camisole underneath, a gray pencil skirt that flared out at the bottom, and a pair of black platform heels on. Christine's hair is curled all over and she has on one lace glove on her left hand. Christine smiles, walking up next to her best friends.
"Hey dad." She says, fixing the glove on her hand smiling.
Booth's eyes are popping out of his head.
"Oh, where the hell do you think you're going?" Parker asks walking up to Christine.
"Umm, why does it matter? Out."
Parker's eyes go big. Christine had never been one to be rebellious especially not to Parker.
"Chrissy, where are you going?" Zach asks.
"We're hanging out with a couple of guys."
"Who are you going out with?" Parker asks.
"Tyler Pullet."
"The quarterback? The junior?" Vincent asks eyes wide.
"Hold on, Bones. What the hell is going on? You didn't tell me about this."
"I thought you would overreact. I know how you get all alpha male." Brennan says to her husband smiling, innocently.
"Christine Booth, you could have told me."
"And have you run a back ground check or have Parker harass him? You would have come home early from camping. I didn't want everyone to know." Christine says, looking accusingly at Michael.
"Catherine, who are you going out with?" Hodgins asks.
"Excalibur Cullen. His twin brother Xavier is dating Brittney."
"Ange, you knew about this?"
"Yes Jack. You and Booth both need to just take a breather."
A car honks from outside.
"That's them. Well, we're going to avoid this awkward family moment and head outside." Brittney says dragging Morgan along with her.
"Honked his damn horn." Booth says like he's speaking to himself.
"Mom, can you get him? I don't want Dad going all FBI on my friend." Christine says nonchalantly.
"Yea, Mom, don't let Dad call grandpa." Catherine adds smiling.
Catherine waves walking out the door.
"I'll be out in a minute Cathy." Christine yells out to her friend.
Christine smirks at Michael smiling.
"Mom, are you really going to let her go out there?" Parker exclaims towards Brennan who just smiles at the boys.
"Zach, keep Parker from going all superstar Big Parks Homeroom on them. Please."
"Fine." Zach says shaking his head.
Zach knew his sister might have liked Tyler, but she wanted to piss off Michael more. He knew Christine as well as she knew him. They were best friends, the two and Vincent. They told each other everything except what had happened between Michael and her. She's pretty tight lipped about that little incident. Christine flips her hair over her shoulders. Michael knows she's goddess but he won't show any sign of weakness. Chrissy was the type of girl who could smell weakness and became a succubus. Chrissy was just that devious, everyone knew, especially Michael. Booth and Hodgins are both still standing dumbfounded. Christine smiled at her mother walking out the door. She was half-way down the stairs when-
"Chrissy, wait up."
Christine turned around to see Michael walking down the steps after her.
"Did you need something Mikey?"
"Are you really about to go out with Tyler Pullet? With me, here?"
"You didn't seem to mind hanging out with Sammy behind my back. I was hurt but now I'm not. So I'm not going to go out with Ty behind your back. I told you we're friends. I'm going to hang out with him, in front of your face."
Christine rolls her eyes, walking over to the car. Michael watches her as she gets into the truck.
Zach, Vincent and Michael all continue to play Call of Duty on the Xbox at the Brennan House.
"So is Christine serious about Tyler?" Michael asks, trying to sound indifferent.
"I don't know. Ask her." Vincent says smiling, not taking his eyes off of the TV.
"He knows. But he's right. What happened between you and Chrissy?" Zach says.
"What do you mean?" Michael questions.
"We all know about the pregnancy test Mike. Tommy showed it to Parker. Parker showed it to Dad. Dad showed it to Mom. Dad talked to Chrissy."
Michael tried to keep his face dispassionate but fails to do so. He shrugs his shoulders.
"Chrissy stopped talking to me after the Christmas Party."
"Because you were with Sammy. Christine told us last week." Vincent says, finally looking at Michael.
"That was a misunderstanding."
"Like Chrissy seeing you kiss Sammy on Clark and Newark. We overheard her talking to Brittney about it." Zach said not making eye contact with anything except the game.
Michael cursed himself. That's why she had stopped talking to him; she had pretty much told him so.
"Samantha kissed me, caught me off guard. I mean I had just been with Christine only two weeks before. I'm not that kind of dude."
"Look, I could threaten you right now. I really want to, but Christine said to not worry about it. All I know is she likes hanging with Tyler." Vincent tells Michael smiling.
Michael nods at the twin slightly smiling.
"She says her and Tyler are just friends. So do you know if she still likes me?"
"The girl loves you man. Now I don't want to kick your ass, been over that stage, but Zach … totally different story man." Vincent says laughing.
Zach finally turns to look at Michael with a fire in his eyes. Michael had seen that look before; Zach got it before he wrestled. The guys called it his take down look.
"Now Mike, if we were to go head to head, I would have a fifty-fifty chance at winning. But we both know Zach could take you down, one hit. That look he's giving you lets us know he wants to."
Vince laughs.
"Russy!" Patience yells from upstairs.
"Yea Shrimp! What do you want?" Vincent replies.
"Daddy said help me. He and Uncle Jack are in the backyard talking about Chrissy and Cathy!"
"Here I come shrimp!"
Vincent smiles getting up from the couch, leaving the two boys alone.
"I know how you must feel about me Zach."
"Actually you don't Mike. I like you; we've been friends for as long as I can remember. We're family. You know sometimes I feel like Christine's big brother. She's like my mom, never wants to show when she's hurt. I've never seen her cry, never. She broke her hand Mike, when you all were ten. You know she didn't cry when she fell from that tree. She just winced, but no tears. She came home that day after seeing you kiss Samantha, in tears. She never even told me what happened except it had to do with you. I wanted to wring your neck and she stopped me. You hurt my sister and she still stopped me. You know why? Because she's really in love with you, like head over heels in love with you. She won't admit it anymore, but we all know it's true. I could beat you to a pulp right now, I'm pretty sure everyone would understand, but I won't. We're friends Mike, but if Christine ever comes in here crying because of you and they're not happy tears, I'm going to send you to the hospital on an orange stretcher."
Michael gulped and shook his head that he understood, the words stuck in his throat.
"Do you know when Chrissy will be back?"
Vincent smiled, sitting back down next to Zach and rejoining the game.
"Curfew is midnight. But knowing Christine she'll just sneak in through the garage at like two and go up to her room. My dad will never know, she does it all the time." Vincent reveals smiling.
Michael nods. Parker comes into the room, getting ready to head over to his apartment for the night.
"Oh, and Mike."
Michael looked up to see Parker standing over him.
"My sister takes another pregnancy test with your sperm inside of her, and I'll beat you with my bat. Got that?"
Vincent and Zach laugh as Michael shakes his head.
"Thought you'd understand." Parker says smiling as he leaves out the door.
