Disclosure: As always I do not own BONES or the song. I don't not profit from my little writings, not like anyone would pay me. Haha. I just Booth and Brennan and so lucky that Hart & Co. brought them to us and that FOX has kept them around for 8 great seasons. I hope we get many, many more.
Author's Note: Welcome Readers! Just one thing for new readers, Lyrical Summaries are all pretty much one shots. One song more times than not has nothing to do with the previous chapter so if you like reading completed stories, each chapter is a complete story. I keep this as a running story just because I rather have 1 on going thread that a bunch of completed little chapters. Hope this doesn't discourage you from reading though.
This is another song that let's just say it wouldn't be found on my iPod. I don't really dislike it but it isn't something that I would keep on the radio if it was on. But it is a song that makes me think of a guy that I have this crush on, every time I would see him he would make me smile. Now that I don't see him anymore it is kind of sad. But anyhow, this song was on a couple of days ago and I thought of Booth and Brennan. I had something bouncing in my head the last 3 days but of course when I went to type it, my muse decided that it was time for her to take off to places unknown. So this is another free-writing exercise (for lack of a better word). One last thing if you haven't seen the promos for Season 8. You might want to read this after September 17th. I don't consider things in this spoilers but what I may consider a spoiler and what someone else does could be two different things. And I don't want to make anyone mad.
I hope you guys enjoy it. If the lyrics are wrong, I apologize. I got them from . Happy Reading!
Smile
By Uncle Kracker
You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip side
Of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where
You send me, lets me know that it's okay
Yeah, it's okay
And the moments where my good times start to fade
You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along just like
A flower pokin' through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that
You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
Don't know how I lived without you
'Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile
From the first time he saw her that day lecturing at American University, she made him smile. One of those kinds that stretched from ear to ear, it must have been the hopeless romantic in him that believed in love at first sight.
It didn't matter. From the littlest thing she had that effect on him, even if it was something that aggravated him. The eight years he had known her, she was the only one to make him feel like that, like a child on Christmas morning, always. From her chestnut hair, to those crystal blue eyes, their little bickering episodes to their silent conversations, to the lack of her pop culture (which he found adorably cute), to how she could read bones everything, just everything about her, this woman made him smile, inside and out.
Even in their darkness time of their partnership/friendship, Bones could make Booth smile. Not that at the time he could or wanted to believe or accept it. The time in front of the Hoover or even with his brief time with Hannah and the hardest time when Bones finally admitted the mistake she made outside the Hoover that night. Her telling him that she did make a mistake about them it DID make him smile on the inside (granted the timing wasn't the greatest or maybe it was). But Booth knew he finally knew that she loved him as much as he loved her. At the time though, he couldn't just drop Hannah like a hot potato just because the love of his life finally came to terms that she loved him as well. So, on Sweets' great advice or not great advice depending on how one looks at it in the grand scheme of things, Booth proposed to Hannah. Deep down he really knew that Hannah would say NO and that is why he did it, an easy way out per say, a stupid way but a way out nonetheless. There was only one person he wanted to truly spend the rest of his life with and she wasn't blonde, green eyed. She was chestnut, blue eyed like the sea and the standard to all others.
When all stars aligned on that terrible night of Mr. Nigel-Murray's death a smile was hard to come by but it was still there deeply hidden. Then the night that Michael was born Booth had nothing but a perma-grin. Bones, his Bones made him the happiness man alive, not that them being a couple on the down low didn't make him happy as it was. She told him he was going to be a father again. A father to her child, by the RIGHT way and not the way they discussed a couple of years before when he had his tumor.
He got to wake up with her each morning and fall asleep with her in his arms each night. Why wouldn't he have a perma-grin? She was carrying their prodigy (as Bones sometimes called their child). Life couldn't get better than that. From finding a house for them to share and watching how Bones' eyes sparkled and lit up when Booth showed her it, to birthing their daughter in the stable, he never had a reason not to smile. It was all too good to be true. He was just waiting for the time for the rug to be pulled out from under him.
Now it had been 4 months, 4 days and 7 hours (but who's counting) since the day that the rug was pulled out from under Booth's feet. 4 months, 4 days and 7 hours since there were no more smiles left. There was barely anything left. The spring day was no different then any other day and working on the Pelant case, even if Pelant was trying to frame Bones. They had both been suspects in cases before no big deal. Bones agreed to go to Christine's baptism. His smile radiated the room when she said she would go. Outside the church she told him she loved him and wasn't just with him because of Christine. What could be wrong with this day? Then he went to get the car. Someone pulled the spark plugs wires out and when he went back to where his girls were standing just a moment before. They were GONE!
Booth had not smiled since then. He barely did anything since then. Just enough to get him by so he could bring his girls home, he had to prove that Pelant framed Bones. She couldn't go in the system, unlike all the other times they had been suspects the people trying to frame them were not computer genius like Pelant. Once she was taken in, she would be as good as dead and if that happened he might as well die as well.
4 months, 4 days, 7 hours and now 47 minutes might not be that long for most people but for Booth that was an eternity. But FINALLY Booth's eternity of darkness was just about to end. The Team got the evidence they needed to prove that Bones did not kill Ethan. The arrest warrant was dropped and Bones could finally come out of hiding.
Then after all this time was waiting was over. 4 months, 4 days, 7 hours and 47 minutes at 4:47pm there were his girls. The smile that had been gone for way too long, almost long forgotten was back and glued to his face. The only ones that could have that strong of an affect on him were back. Besides the smile, the tears started to flow just like the first night they were gone, but now, but now these were tears of ultimate joy and the world was right side up again. She was the one the only one that could ever make him SMILE.
Author's Note #2: Well I hoped you liked it or at least won't throw rotten tomatoes at me. Once again it didn't turn out how I saw it initially. But you hear that from me a lot don't you. If you have seen the promos you know Booth said the girls have been got for 3 months. I changed it up to 4 since the season 7 finale was May 14th and September 14th is 4 months and to make the 447 reference work. The 4 days would make it September 17th (Season 8 Premiere).
Please review. Maybe my muse will come back from Timbuktu or where ever she may be. Thanks for reading as always.
