100 Glimpses into the Bones World

by FaithinBones

This is in repsonse to the Bonesology 2015 Microfiction Hiatus Challenge. These are drabbles and are supposed to be less that 300 words per chapter. I'm sure I won't be able to stick to the 300 words, sorry. I hope you have a little fun reading them.

92. Chapter 92

(Apparition)

Thank you for reviewing my story. I really appreciate it.

I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Sitting in the living room, Christine turned her head towards the fireplace and smiled, "Hey, Buddy."

Startled, Booth jerked his head and stared at his daughter, "Who're you talking to Sweetheart?"

Pointing at the fireplace, the little girl giggled, "Buddy came back for a visit. He said that he's glad that Aunt Angela found his flash drive and printed his book. He really wanted you to see it."

Nervously, Booth licked his lips, "Look, Honey, you need to stop talking to your imaginary friend, okay? He's not there. Ghosts don't really exist. Uncle Sweets is dead, Sweetheart. You have to accept that."

Entering the room, Brennan overheard Booth and nodded her head, "Christine, your father is correct. There is no such thing as apparitions. I know it's fun to pretend that your Uncle Sweets is here visiting you, but he really isn't and you need to accept that fact."

Her hand twirling the hair near her right ear, Christine asked her mother, "Buddy wants to know . . . if he isn't real then how did that woman with the cards know that he left a flash drive in his car with his book on it?"

Pausing to give it some thought, Brennan stared at her husband, shook her head and turned her attention back to her daughter, "It was supposition."

Confused, Christine shook her head, "What's supition?"

Placing his arm around her shoulders, Booth explained, "Avalon just guessed and it was a lucky guess at that. Uncle Sweets is dead and we really need to let him rest, okay?"

Staring at the fireplace, Christine sniffed and waved, "Buddy says that he's going to go now. He doesn't want to upset you . . . He said that he'll see you later. When you come he plans to hug you even though you don't hug things out."

His gaze now glued to the fireplace, Booth swallowed, "Um . . . okay."

Not sure what was going on, Brennan stated, "I don't know what that means."

Still staring at the fireplace, Booth whispered, "You don't want to know."

Ooooooooooooooooo

A/N: Remember in 'The Cinderella in the Cardboard' when Sweets wanted Booth to hug him? "Hey you think maybe we could hug? Like men, of course, it'd be comforting to me." Booth's answer? "No. I don't hug things out." (Unless it's Brennan of course!)
