A/N: I just had to squeeze another one in tonight. This one was suggested by Windyfontaine for Independence Day. Enjoy!
Star Spangled Sully
Tim Sullivan, aka Sully, was very proud of himself. He had traveled halfway across the country in order to acquire some very illegal fireworks for Independence Day. Temperance was bound to be impressed by his bad boy streak (gag). He eyed the huge firecracker with a smile on his face. She'd be here any minute. Then they could go outside and set it off. It would be spectacular.
He wanted the place to look romantic when she arrived so he dashed around lighting candles as fast as he could, wanting to finish before she came. What he didn't realize was that somewhere amongst all the candle lighting he had also lit the firecracker he was so proud of. It went off right there in his living room, blasting holes in his roof and creating quite a display in the sky.
Brennan was walking to Sully's with Booth at her side. There was no way she was going to see him alone. She really didn't want to go, but she had said she would, and wanted to keep her word. She glanced up as a sudden boom rang through the sky and saw the brilliant fireworks in the sky above Sully's house.
"Look at that, Booth. Isn't it amazing?"
"It sure is Bones. In fact, it looks too amazing. Illegal fireworks may be involved."
They walked the rest of the way to Sully's and found the house to be nothing more than a blackened hull. They also found what looked to be a charred body, half crumbled to dust.
"Not really much we can do here," Booth muttered.
"No there isn't. Hey, you wanna go to the park? There's supposed to be a pretty good fireworks display happening really soon."
"Sure Bones, let's go."
And they left, leaving what had been Sully's house behind them.
A/N: Nothing like a good holiday story! Hope you liked it!!
