Ok here is part 2 and truly I am getting a little tiered of people just saying it's good update soon. I would really appreciate it if you guys would give me more constructive reviews. It would help me to improve the story.
Disclaimer: I REALLY do not own Bones how many times do I have to tell you.
Me: Ok everyone meet Andora my muse
Andora: Hi!
Me: She is a very lazy muse…
Andora: HEY
Me: Well if you aren't so lazy then how come I've had writers block since I wrote the first page of this chapter?
Andora: I was overworked and took a vacation.
Me: Something you do all too often.
Andora: *glares at me* I get tiered
Me: From what? I do all the typing and I have the blisters on my fingers to prove it.
Andora: You're so dramatic.
Me: That's your job. You're supposed to be a muse, so start acting like one.
Andora: No I don't work for you.
Me: Fine, *Brings out Wolverine*
Wolverine: *angry, show's claws frighteningly
Andora: Fine…me…I'll…cut back on the vacations.
Me: Thank you
Andora: Vanishes inside my head
Me: Thank you Wolverine.
Wolverine: No problem, I still get to be a part of that x-men story right?
Me: Um….
Wolverine: What?
Me: I sort of promised the spot to Angel…*Wolverine glares* Well she's supposed to be his girlfriend, but you and Hank will still be a part of it. *to myself* If I ever write it.
This snipped was my apology for not updating so soon.
Chapter 14
Fright Night Part 2
Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth caught the guy, at his home no less. He put up a fight and Dr. Brennan shot him in the…well let's just say if he ever gets out of prison sex will never be on his mind again.
At five, I took Betty so she could change into her fairy costume and then I gave Zach his. Betty looked adorable in her long purple dress with riffles and her fake wings, the wand didn't really add anything but her small fairy crown really made the costume.
"Are you cold?" I asked
"I'm awesome." replied Betty as she ran to get candy from Jack. Then it was my turn to change into my Scarlet Witch costume. First I had the red head gear, which looked like an M on my head. Then it was the corset like body suit that went on and the red cape of course along with big red heeled boots and I couldn't forget the red tights.
"Hey Althy are you….ready?" asked Zach as he spotted me in my costume. He looked pretty good himself with the green and yellow skin tight outfit. "Wow…you look…wow."
"Thank you." I replied and kissed him. "Shall we go?"
"Ok," he replied and we walked towards the party area.
When we arrived everything was rather…well interesting. Dr. Brennan was Wonder Woman, which did anger me some; Cam was dressed as a witch in a long gown, with a broom, but no hat. Jack was dressed up as King Tut, I almost snorted at the costume, it had gold strips along the crown, I was right. Angela was a Greek beauty. She had a long flowing white dress with a big cut where her left leg was. Belt like strings covered the upper body below the breasts and gold bands on her arms. She had a gold crown with loops on it and an Owl on her shoulder.
"Nice, costumes." I said "Angela, Athena, goddess of knowledge and war, am I right?"
"Yeah, I got it at this cute little store near my apartment." I had to wonder when she actually had time to get the costume since she was practically living at Jack's place.
Then Agent Booth came in wearing a hat and a whip, along with a light brown button up shirt and cargo pants.
"Oh watch out." said Cam "Indiana Jones is here to tell us all about Archeology,"
"Funny." he said "So what do you think?" he asked turning to us.
"Harrison Ford's got nothing on you." said Angela.
"Not bad."
"Althy, where did you find those costumes?" asked Cam
"I made them," I said "It didn't take long, but…I think the results are satisfactory." I twirled around a little and my cape followed stretching out.
"If you received the desired results that I should think it was satisfactory." said Dr. Brennan.
Music began to play as Betty pranced through the room collecting hidden candy. People were drinking and I had a feeling that someone spiked the punch. Now who would do that? I thought sarcastically.
"Althy, do you want to dance?" asked Zach
"I'd love too." I replied and grabbed his awaiting hand. As we headed off to the dance floor agent Booth's cell phone rang. Then my cell rang.
"Dr. Calloway." I answered.
"Althy darling, it's Nancy," came a sweet British accent
"Hi, Nan, what can I do for you?"
"Just wanted to know if you told Jack about my arrival tomorrow?"
"Didn't have too, mom told him, are you flying?"
"No, I'm driving; I'll be there…around five AM."
"Good to know, I'll see you then." I then hung up and Zach and I danced to a few songs. It brought me back to proms. Since neither of us had dates….well the rest is self explanatory.
We voted for the costume we liked to most, but we couldn't vote for ourselves. At eight Cam stood up to announce the winners.
"Everyone has voted and here is the winner," said Cam and opened the envelope. "Oh…wow…we have a tie, between Seely Booth as Indiana Jones…" everyone clapped as Booth came to the front of the line "…and Betty Schwartz as a fairy." Betty smiled brightly and ran up front. "So we've decided to split the prize. Betty gets this large bin of candy." Cam handed her the large pumpkin shaped and colored bin full of candy. Betty's eyes seemed to brighten as she saw the candy and couldn't wait to get her hands on it. "And Booth gets the dinner for two at Le Magic." she handed him the certificate "And thank you everyone."
The music began playing again sweet and slow Zach grabbed my hand before I could respond and took me to the dance floor. Seconds later the music ended abruptly. The source was none other than my own cousin Jack Hodgins.
"Hodgins," whined Booth "Bring back the music."
"In a sec." added Jack and as soon as he started to walk towards Angela I knew what was coming. In my opinion a Halloween Party may not be the ideal place to propose, but with the way Angela was and is, it was the one and only chance Jack had.
He took Angela's hand and got down on one knee. Zach appeared completely clueless until that moment.
"Angela, will you marry me?" asked Hodgins and the answer couldn't come out of her mouth fast enough. She shouted the answer and flung her arms around Jack.
"Great, she accepted now can we get back to the party?" asked Betty. We all laughed and got back to the dancing. She was such a sweet kid who'd been through hell. My brother was going to love her.
The following Morning, this time Zach spent the night in my room, which wasn't one of my better ideas since my little sister, my soon to be niece and my mother were down the hall. It all came out alright, though. My mother however did realize that Zach and I weren't simply friends anymore when he came down for breakfast that Saturday morning. He wore a button-up shirt and dark pants.
"Good morning Althy." he greeted kissing my check.
"Good morning." I replied as I was cutting some tomatoes for breakfast. Nancy had arrived three hours later than expected. She nocked on the door as we were sitting down to eat.
Andy opened the door and pulled our sister-in-law into a hug.
"Hello Andy," said Nancy, then my mother and I hugged her.
"Mom, Althy good to see you." she said in her beautiful accent.
At that moment Jack and Angela joined us.
"Nancy, you remember Jack?" asked my mother and she nodded. "…and this is Angela his fiancée."
"Nice to meet you." she said.
"And this sweet and adorable girl…" I said standing above Betty "Is Betty,"
"Hello Betty, I'm Nancy," she said and Betty nodded shyly.
"Honey," called my mom, "Andy and I will be leaving tonight."
"Really," I asked a little too excitedly "I mean, really, such a shame you can't stay longer."
"Funny," said Andy "We have to go, mom only left the boys enough food to last them a week and we don't want Dad to cook." I shuttered at the memories of out father's cooking. He could cook, barely. He was the meat specialist, but when it came down to anything else...
"Will you guys need a ride to the airport?" asked Jack
"Oh no we have a ride coming." explained my mother.
"I'll show Nancy to her room." Volunteered Angela,
Nancy had this long curly red hair and these big brown eyes. She and James met of all places at a museum. She was a tour guide and well James took her tour, once or twice or three times, a day. Eventually she got the hint.
I decided to go with Angela and Nancy upstairs.
"SO are you guys related or friends?" asked Angela.
"She married my older brother oh…about six years ago." I told her as we entered the room. "Oops, I left eggs on the stove." I ran downstairs franticly and nocked Zach over. He landed on the carpet and I landed on top of him. "Sorry"
"I don't recall a complaint." said Zach and kissed me.
"Come on…" I got off him and pulled him up. We came into the kitchen and saw that the eggs were already done and Jack was distributing them into plates. "SO Betty, what do you think of Nancy, I mean I know you just met her, but.."
"She seemed nice." answered Betty as once again my cell rang.
"Calloway,"
"Dr. Calloway this is Dr. Sweets."
"How did you get this number?" I asked
"Cam gave it to me, but that's not the issue, I need your help."
"What kind of help?"
"Um….well…."
"Today Sweets,"
"See….I'm supposed to have a session with Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth, but um…my girlfriend we sort of have this thing to go to…"
"Wow I can't believe it." I said shocked.
"That I'm asking you to fill in for me?"
"No, that you actually have a girlfriend." I laughed "Sure sweets, I'll help, when?"
"Um…in about an hour, do you know where my office is?"
"We'll do it in mine, it'll be less weird." I responded "Tell them I'll meet them there." I hung up and turned to the others. "Looks like I'm coming into work today."
End of chapter with a cliff hanger. I love them.
