Thanks for reviewing my story. I appreciate all reviews. They let me know what you're thinking and they let me know if I need to address any concerns.

I saw that there was some worry that Booth and Brennan could get into trouble with their joke. I want to assure you that I won't let anything crazy happen to B&B. There will be no backlash or misfire aimed at my favorite couple. This chapter may help ease your anxiety over my intentions. At least I hope it does.

I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

The next day, Booth called Cam to tell her that Brennan was sick and she wouldn't be in to work.

"What's wrong, Booth?" Cam asked. "Is there something I can do for her? Would you like me to come over and look at her?"

Smiling, Booth said, "Nah, that's ok. She was up early this morning and she says she just doesn't feel well."

"Ok," Cam said, "Well, tell Dr. Brennan that I can come over if she needs me to."

"Sure, Cam," Booth said, "I'll do that, thanks."

Hanging up the phone, Booth said, "Maybe we should tell Cam what's going on. I don't think it would be fair to not let her know what's going on. Besides, it's less likely to go wrong if we involve her."

Nodding her head, Brennan said, "I think you're right. Maybe you could go by the Jeffersonian and tell her. At the same time, we could start putting our plan into action."

Smiling, Booth put his arms around Brennan and said, "Remind me never to get you mad at me. This plan of your's is pretty good."

Looking into Booth's eyes, Brennan said, "Yes it is. Remember I write murder mysteries for a hobby. I can think of a lot of ways to kill people and most would be fool proof if I really wanted them to be."

Ooooooooooooooooooo

Booth looked around the Lab as he walked through the door. Seeing Hodgins wave to him, Booth turned his head and walked over to Cam's office. Poking his head through the doorway, Booth saw Cam was in. Knocking on the doorframe, Booth walked in to Cam's office and then closed the door behind him.

Looking up, Cam seeing Booth close her office door, said. "Hey Booth, what's going on?"

Smiling, Booth walked across the office and sat down on the chair next to Cam's desk. Looking at Cam, Booth said, "Cam, Bones and I are going to play a nasty joke on Angela and Hodgins. We don't need your help; but, I don't want you to interfere either. Bones has quite a few vacation days accumulated; so, she's going to use some of them in the next few days."

Frowning, Cam said, "What's going on? You and Dr. Brennan aren't exactly known for playing practical jokes."

"You know those meetings that Bones has been going to for the last few days?" Booth asked.

Nodding her head, Cam said, "With Tim?"

Nodding his head, Booth said, "Well apparently either Angela or Hodgins saw Bones with Tim or someone else did and that person told Angela and Hodgins. They've got it into their heads that Bones and Tim are lovers."

Eyes widening, Cam said, "Oh dear. Why don't you tell Angela and Hodgins what's going on?"

Sighing, Booth said, "You know Caroline said that if word gets out about what's going on, some very powerful people will be pissed and try to stop us; so, we can't tell anyone. That means Angela and Hodgins too. One mis-spoke word and that will be that. We can't tell them. The only reason why you know is because of the time off Bones has needed for the meetings."

Nodding her head, Cam said, "Ok, I get that. Why the nasty joke?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Booth said, "Bones and I are tired of the meddling those two keep doing with our lives. Between them and Sweets I don't know whose worse. They're good friends to have when the chips are down; but, they drive Bones crazy with their constant gossip and snooping. She hates gossip and so I do. She's pretty angry that they think so little of her that they think she would be living with me and having an affair behind my back. She's upset and frankly so am I. Bones and I warned them before about meddling; but, it just went in one ear and out the other one. She and I want to scare the hell out of them. It probably won't stop the meddling; but, at least it will give them reasons to pause."

Nodding her head, Cam said, "Ok, what's the plan?"

Smiling, Booth said, "You'll love it. It's similar to the joke we played on Ted Harris when you dumped him in college and he wouldn't take no for an answer and he started stalking you. Bones kind of expanded on that idea."

Shaking her head, Cam said ,"Oh God."

Nodding his head, Booth laughed and said "Yep."

Oooooooooooooooooooo

Opening the door to Cam's office, Booth found himself face to face with Angela. Frowning, Booth said, "What's up Angela?"

Puzzled by the frown, Angela said, "I heard Brennan is sick. Is she alright? What's wrong with her?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Booth said, "It's nothing."

Walking around Angela, Booth started walking towards the main entrance.

Irritated, Angela hurried after Booth and put her right hand on his left shoulder to stop him. Stopping, Booth turned around and crossed his arms across his chest.

"What do you need Angela?" Booth asked. "I have to get back to the Hoover."

Very irritated, Angela asked, "Why are you so short with me, Booth? I want to know what's wrong with Brennan." Looking at Booth's right shirt sleeve more closely, Angela looked at Booth and asked, "Did you know you have blood on the cuff of your shirt?"

Looking down at his sleeve, Booth put his right hand behind his back and his left hand in his pocket. Smiling, Booth said, "Bones is just feeling a little sick. She's going to be out for a few days. I really have to go, Angela. I have a meeting in thirty minutes that I need to attend."

Frowning, Angela said, "Ok, I'll call Brennan in a little while to check up on her."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "That won't be necessary. She's sleeping and she told me that she doesn't plan to answer the phone."

Turning around, Booth took his left hand out of his pocket and moved his right hand to his right pocket. Walking rapidly, Booth left the Lab and then the Jeffersonian.

Watching Booth leave, Angela walked over to Hodgins' office and said, "Something weird is going on. Booth was just here and he acted like he didn't want to talk to me."

Nodding, Hodgins said, "Yeah, I waved at him when he came in and he pretended like he didn't see me. Maybe he found out about Dr. B and that guy."

Sighing, Angela said, "God, I hope not. I'm going to try to call Brennan in a little while. Booth said not to; but, I want to talk to Brennan."

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

Well, Booth and Brennan's plan has been initiated. Let's see if it works out for them.
