Brennan went to bed that night thinking about Booth. He had told her about Parker's mother before and in her time there, Brennan has seen that Booth's been the only there for Parker. After her life with Sully, Brennan guarded her heart and although she was looking forward to something with Booth, her heart was first and she would make that clear.

Her time covering for Ms. Saroyan came to an end when Ms. Saroyan returned. Brennan taught half of the class before Ms. Saroyan took over. The kids were sad to see Brennan go, but were happy to see their teacher back.

When Brennan closed the front door of the apartment, she found an excited Angela. "Sweetie, why don't you have your phone on?" Brennan had forgotten to turn her phone on.

Brennan told her friend that Mr. Moore, an elderly man, fell and broke his hip earlier in the week. It was supposed to be his last year before he retired and Brennan was offered to take over his fifth grade class for the rest of the school year. She was also offered a group of her own for the following term.

"That's great news, but I've got better news." Angela grinned, handing her friend an envelope. She told Brennan that Caroline had been looking for her. Angela ran into Caroline at work and was given the good news.

"It's official." Brennan stared at the divorce documents, a huge smile on her face.

"We have to celebrate." Angela said excitedly, dragging her friend towards her room to get ready.

"Come on, man." Hodgins begged Booth to go clubbing with him. Hodgins had developed an interest towards Angela. He'd heard her on the phone saying something about going clubbing. He got the club's name and wanted Booth to go with him in order to not make it as obvious that he was there for Angela. Booth didn't want to go, but his friend looked really desperate. Booth finally agreed and was shoved in his room to grab a shower and get ready.

Angela took Brennan to a club she frequented. Angela said the drinks and outing was on her and Brennan hugged her best friend. They received a few morbid stares, but they both laughed it off.

Booth and Hodgins entered the club. Hodgins quickly searched the club for Angela. He found her on the dance floor and he made his way over to her. Booth smiled and walked towards the bar. He instantly recognized Brennan. She was ordering a drink and he caught her by surprise when he whispered 'hi' in her ear. Brennan turned to face him, both sharing a smile. They asked each other who they were there with and both pointed to the dance floor, finding Hodgins and Angela dancing together. Brennan took her drink and sipped, Booth stood next to her without ordering. They spoke in the other's ear and Booth found out she was officially divorced and that her time as Parker's teacher had also come to an end.

"It's good to know you're staying in DC." He breathed in her ear and she clutched her glass tightly. "Let's celebrate." He slapped a bill next to her still full drink and took her hand.

Booth proposed a quieter place to talk and watched as she shot a glance towards the dance floor. "Send her a text." His body was close to hers; their faces were millimeters apart when she turned. He saw the smile she flashed at him. Returning the smile, he took her hand and led the way out of the club.

As Booth drove Brennan sent her friend a text. He parked in front of the diner. Brennan smiled; she'd been there with him a few times. They talked about nothing in particular for a few minutes before jumping to 'them'. They both wanted to give it a try and were going to do just that. Booth asked her out on a date for the following night.

On the drive to her place they continued to talk, comfortable with the step they had taken. He walked her to her front door. They were both too caught up with each other to notice Sully leaning on the front door.

"This is why you were anxious to get a divorce. You didn't wait to sleep around." Sully spat the words, bringing them out of their bubble. "Whore." He added for effect.

"Take it back." Booth growled, slugging the man when he didn't retract. Sully landed on his ass.

Brennan wrapped an arm around Booth's waist, telling him Sully wasn't worth it. She told Sully to get lost, reminding him that she was a free woman and she could sleep with whoever she pleased. (She didn't bother to clarify that she wasn't sleeping with Booth...yet) Booth didn't clarify it either.

Sully left angry and humiliated. He'd signed the divorce papers to avoid a scandal. He should be glad Brennan hadn't wanted anything but the divorce. But she was still his and he'd figure out a way to get her back.

Brennan closed her front door and sat on her couch with Booth. "I'm sorry you had to see that." Booth placed a hand on hers and smiled, telling her that it was okay. After a few minutes of talking, Booth stood.

"I'll pick you up at seven." He said with his charm smile on as they agreed on a time for their date. He kissed her cheek, not wanting to pressure her, before walking to the door. Brennan followed him, deciding that he...she...they both deserved a real kiss. She tapped his shoulder and when he turned to look at her, she took his face in her hands and kissed him. Their kiss was soft and caring at first. As soon as their tongues met, their kiss intensified. They broke their heated kiss when the front door swung open, hitting them and making them lose their balance. They fell on their sides and rolled, Booth ending on top this time. They shared a smile before they heard a slightly drunk Angela telling them to get a room. Booth blushed, helping Brennan to rise from the floor.

After Booth left, Brennan sighed and leaned on the closed door. Angela made kissing noises and squealed at the look her best friend had.
