I came up with this listening to a song and thinking how perfect a story it could make in bringing these two together.

The song is "If I were You" by Colin Raye

In the background you can hear the instrumental of the song playing.

It starts with Booth and Brennan sitting on the stadium seats in his apartment when they write down a date and they burn it.

Skip forward


Booth sitting in his office checking his watch, Sweets walks in.

"Hey Agent Booth."

Booth checks his watch again and hastily gets up out of his chair, graps his jacket and heads for his door.. "Hey Sweets, Sorry, can't talk now, got to run, big case."

"Can I offer my help?"

"No, no that won't be necessary, I think we have it."

" You and Dr. Brennan missed another session. You really ..." Booth cuts him off with a look

"Hold that thought Sweets." Booth turns and heads for the elevator

In the elevator a flash back to the first time he saw her giving her lecture.

Back at the lab Dr. Brennan is finishing up a report. Cam and Angela walk in..

Dr. Brennan we have just had what appears to be some very old remains arrive from Egypt, seems a very unusual find for the area.

"Sorry Cam, I don't have time, I have an appointment."

"Dr. Brennan, I don't know the details, however, I am to understand that these remains are over a thousand years old, in rather good condition, and if my information is correct might actually change the history books."

Dr. Brennan looks at Cam for a long moment and then to Angela. "No, as Angela would say, they have been dead for over a thousand years a few more days will not make a difference. I am sorry, I must go."

With that she leaves Cam and Angela staring after her. They exchanged confused looks. She had been acting strange the last few days, but for her to turn down a find like this was totally out of character for her.

As Dr. Brennan approaches her car her mind flashes to him, that chesire cat smile he has.

The song plays, shows a nervous but controlled Booth in his truck stopped at a stop light, his mind flashes to her exiting a bathroom in Roxie's black dress. Brennan pulling from the parking garage, her mind flashes to when she Blackmailed him to allow her to work in the field with him.

The song continues to play as they make their way to their destination, flashing between them driving and Flash backs to their time together.. They park on different sides of the park where the coffee cart is. They start to make their way to the cart, you can see they are both nervous, they are both unsure if they should go into the park, flashbacks continue.. As they approach, they see each other across the park, both stopping in their tracks..

"He's here." A soft smile crosses her lips

"She's here." He eyes soften and he smiles

They continue to walk towards each other and the last flash back is where Caroline got them to kiss under the mistletoe. The song ends as they come face to face with each other.

"Booth, you came?" She wasn't that shocked, but after all they had been through, she wasn't sure.

"I could say the same thing. Bones, we are here, we came for a reason." (long pause as they stare at each other) Booth looks around, to many people. "Bones, we need to talk, somewhere with no interruptions, just you and me. Give me your cell phone."

"Booth, Why?"

"Bones trust me." Reluctantly, she relinquishes her cell phone to him. He sends a message to Cam from Brennan's cell phone asking to have her car picked up and taking back to the Jeffersonian and that she needed a few days off..

"Booth, What are you doing? Who are you sending a message to?" As she tries to peek at the message he is sending.

"Bones, Trust me." He gives her a long look. She gives up on the message. He then contacts Hacker and tells him he needs a few days off for family issues.

He turns both cell phones off, slides them in his pocket, takes her by the arm and heads for his truck. He knows they need to get out of DC if they are going to figure this out.
