Sweets' Little Games
Chapter 2: This and That
"Zack..." Sweets said. "You didn't kill anyone."
"Yes. I did. I told the master where the man was."
"That's not killing him." Sweets said. Zack didn't reply. "Okay. I have a new exercise for you."
"And that would be?" Zack asked. Sweets subtly made sure that the video camera was on.
"It's called This and That."
Zack squinted and raised an eyebrow. "Did you think of that?" He asked.
"Is it too corny?"
"Yeah."
"Aww well.. I'm going to say something and you will reply with the first thing that comes to mind."
"Okay."
"The lab."
"Family."
"Plate."
"Food." Zack replied.
"Knife." Sweets said.
"Evil."
"Okay. You said that the lab was like a family? I'm going to say each persons name and you tell me what role in the family they would be."
"Okay."
"Dr. Brennan."
"Mother."
"Agent Booth."
"Father."
"Dr. Saroyan."
"Aunt."
"Hodgins."
"Brother."
"Angela."
"Sister in law."
"Me."
"Brother."
"Mr. Nigel- Never mind."
"Who were you going to say." Zack asked his eyebrows furrowing.
"No one. You don't know him." Sweets replied.
"He's my replacement?"
"No one could replace you Zack." Sweets said.
"Right..."
~-Later that day-~
Sweets brought the tape of Zack that he got to the lab. He walked to Cam.
"I have something I want to show you guys." He said.
"What is it?"
"A video. You'll see."
About five minutes later everyone was seated, looking at the big screen on which the video was about to play. Booth was next to Brennan, who was next to Angela. Who was in between Brennan and Hodgins, and Hodgins was next to Cam. Sweets hit the play button. Brennan looked a little bit hurt when she saw Zack. Sweets fast forwarded to the family part.
"Okay. You said that the lab was like a family? I'm going to say each persons name and you tell me what role in the family they would be."
"Okay."
"Dr. Brennan."
"Mother."
A tear dropped down Dr. Brennans cheek. Booth hugged her, and kissed her forehead.
"Agent Booth."
"Father."
Booth's eyes opened a bit wider and a tear slid down his cheek.
"Dr. Saroyan."
"Aunt."
Cam was tearing up a lot. She looked at Booth and Brennan.
"Hodgins."
"Brother."
Hodgins didn't cry, but looked like he could. He hugged Angela like his life depended on her.
"Angela."
"Sister... In law, because Hodgins and Angela should be together-"
Angela smiled at Hodgins, through her tears. She then looked at Dr. Brennan.
"Right.."
"Me."
"Brother."
Sweets looked down at this part. He looked up and fast forwarded a minute or two.
"I know you're taping this Sweets and when they watch this I want them to know they always will be my family. Dr. Brennan, you will be a great mother, and Booth you are a great father. Dr. Saroyan? You are a good stepmother- I was told about Michelle- and Hodgins and Angela? You guys just forgive each other already. I love you guys."
By then everyone was in tears. Booth was comforting Brennan (who felt helpless; and hated it. She did like Booth's closeness though) and Angela and Hodgins were whispering to eachother. Cam got the tape and walked up to Sweets. She held the tape out.
"Thank you for showing us this Sweets." She said, still crying a bit. She hugged him. "I speak for all of us." She said. Dr. Brennan walked up with Booth.
"Thank you Sweets." She said.
"I needed to do this. You guys are like family to me too." Sweets said, letting tears fall.
Booth looked into Brennan's eyes. Blue meets brown. Then they looked at Sweets. They hugged him.
