Brennan bent over the lab table to examine remains. "See, this is the ilium. And here, this bone shows radial stress fractures." She pointed out to her daughter.

Cordy giggled and reached for the remains that were lying on the table.

"Brennan!" Angela exclaimed. "You can't let your daughter see this!" She scooped up the baby in her arms.

"Well, I handed her my necklace to amuse herself with but she seemed disinterested. So I thought I would explain the victims injuries." Brennan explained.

"You can't keep a child around this stuff Bren. You'll scar her for life." Angela looked down at the beautiful baby girl.

"I disagree, although it may help her compartmentalization skills as she grows older."

Angela sighed, having a hand-to-head moment. "We're getting out of the lab and taking this child to the park. C'mon the bones can wait. Cam and Clark will take care of it."

Brennan began to protest as Angela headed down the platform and towards the door.


Booth and Hodgins chuckled to themselves. All of the equipment on the platform had been pushed to the sides. A thick layer of cherry jello covered the platform.

"This is gonna be epic, dude." Hodgins and Booth bumped fists. Impressed with their own genius.


Brennan and Angela walked into the lab. Brennan was bouncing Cordy in her arms and Angela was laughing.

"See? Wasn't that fun?"

Brennan nodded. "It was enjoyable. I'm glad we went."

Angela tickled the excited Cordy and both woman couldn't help but chuckle as the baby cooed and giggled.

"I've got to finish examining those remains." Brennan swiped her card and stepped up onto the forensic platform. Instantly, her shoes began to squish. She glanced down. "What?"

"I'll take Cordy to her playpen in your office." Angela said, carrying the child off.

Brennan squished her way over to where the body should've been. "Where are my remains?" She asked the strangely empty lab. "And what is this substance covering my workspace?"

Cam appeared, and glanced at the platform, wide-eyed. "What on earth?"

"Who sabotaged the lab?" Brennan asked as Cam made her way up onto the platform.

Cam bent down to examine the substance. She slid her finger across the top, and then promptly licked it. "Gelatin?"

"What?" Brennan asked.

"The platform is covered in cherry gelatin." Cam explained.

Brennan gave Cam her 'I don't know what that means' look. "Who would do this?"

Cam shook her head. "One guess." She obviously had narrowed down the culprit.


"Dr. Hodgins!" Hm, that sounded like Cam.

After setting little Cordelia down in her playpen, Angela decided to go see what all the hubbub was about.

"Uhm, what's going on?" Angela strode towards the platform. "Oh. My god."

Cam and Brennan were ankle deep in jello. Angela swiped her card and joined them on the sabotaged platform. "How in the heck...?"

"Your husband." Cam deadpanned.

"No." Angela looked around. "No. He's really not this stupid. Is he?"

Cam shook her head. "He's male."

Angela's anger began to rise. "He's going to be sleeping above the garage for a month."

Brennan came over, slipping on the jello and bringing Angela down with her. They fell with a splat into the red gelatin.

"Bren! Watch what you're doing!" Angela squealed, disliking being covered in jello.

"Completely on accident. It seems the floor is more slippery than usual." Brennan said by way of apology.

"You think?" Angela shook her head, trying to get up and slipping again.

Brennan attempted and slipped as well. They sat, frustrated at the situation. Stuck in jello.

"Cam, a little help?" Angela begged.

Cam stepped back. "No, no, no, no. New dress. I do not want to be joining you on the floor. You're on your own."

Brennan and Angela glanced at one another. Deciding trying to get up from the goop together was their only option. As Brennan and Angela tried to pull themselves up, Brennan accidentally slapped Angela across the face, as she slipped back down onto the jello-covered platform.

"What? Getting me back from earlier?" Angela teased. But of course Brennan took her literally.

"No, of course not, that's petty and childish." Brennan explained.

Angela reached out her hand, to help Brennan up. Brennan pulled Angela back down into the goop, of course completely on accident.

Angela grinned, gathering a handful of cherry jello and throwing it at Brennan's face. "Pay back!" She chuckled.

Brennan sputtered and retaliated. Soon, both women were chucking jello globs back and forth, getting covered in the red sticky substance.

Cam just shook her head and chuckled.

Suddenly, wolf whistles could be heard off the platform.

Hodgins was laughing and high-fiving Booth.

"Epic!" He hollered.

"Take it off!" Booth shouted.

Both women froze, mid-jello throw. They glanced at each other and nodded, whipping the gelatin straight at their husbands, and hitting them both squarely in the face.

Cam was beginning to wish she had a camera. And of course, Clark was nowhere to be found, seeing as he frequently avoided the escapades of the lab.

Once Brennan and Angela regained themselves, stained in red, and got to their feet, they glared at their husbands.

"You two are in so much trouble." Angela gave both men her death glare.

If they knew what was good for them, Booth and Hodgins would grovel before it was too late.


A/N: Jello escapade over. Hope you enjoyed. More baby nonsense and frivolity to come after Thursday. And by then we'll probably need it.
