Sweets' Little Games
Chapter 6: Think Quick
"What are we doing this time Sweets." Booth said annoyed.
"We are doing a new exercise called 'Think Quick'." Sweets announced.
"Did you make that name up, Sweets?" Booth asked.
"Yeah, I did." Sweets replied.
"Should have known." Booth muttered.
"The name sounds like the new Candy Land." Brennan told Sweets.
"You know about Candy Land?" Booth asked.
"I played it with Emma one time." Brennan told him.
"Oh.."
"Back to my exercise." Sweets said. "What you're going to do is say a word and the other will reply with another word. The first word that pops into mind."
"I can't respond without careful thought." Brennan told Sweets.
Sweets sighed. "Even children can do it."
"Because it's Childish." Brennan replied.
"Can we just get on with the exercise?" Sweets asked.
"Okay, I'll start." Booth said.
"No, I will." Brennan interrupted. "Sweets."
"Annoying." Booth replied.
"Cam."
"Friend."
"Hodgins." Brennan said.
"Bugs." Booth replied.
"Dirt."
"Truck."
"Car."
"Tire."
"Concrete."
"Sweets, we're talking about cars and concrete!" Booth said annoyed.
"Let me pick the first word then." Sweets said. "Passion."
"Anger." Brennan said.
"Fire." Booth replied.
"Hot."
"Summer."
"Beach."
"Bikini."
"Purple."
"Why purple?" Booth asked.
"Because my bikinis purple." She replied. "Ange picked it out for me."
"Oh..." Booth said, with dilated pupils. "Blue."
"Green."
"Yellow."
"Orange."
"Red."
"Pink." Brennan said.
"Now we're talking about colors."
"Fine. Try to get something else out of passion."
"Romance." Booth said.
"Pain."
"Why did you say pain, Bones?"
"Well, Sully's back and..."
"You want me to kick his ass for you?" Booth asked.
"No, he's not even interested in me. He's getting together with Perotta."
"Hey... Anyone who isn't interested in you is blind and dumb. Not to mention stupid."
"You really think that?" She asked.
"Yeah. I do Bones." He replied. Then a timer went off.
"We can go now!" Booth said happily. "You want to go to the diner?" He asked.
"Yeah sure."
"Bye guys." Sweets said, and got back to his computer work. He sent Perotta an email.
You have an appointment here, tomorrow.
