Thanks so much for all your great reviews! I'm glad you like it!

"You know, it's just my luck that I would get stuck here during a power outage." Angela unwrapped a cupcake, and took a bite. "I couldn't be lucky enough to have been at Wong Fu's or the diner."

"I'm sorry, Angela. I got one of everything they had in the vending machine." Zach was sorting through the rest of the snacks. "The didn't have much of a selection, though."

Hodgins grabbed another pack of cookies out of the pile. "Come on, this isn't so bad!" He fell back on the chair. "At least we have food. Booth and Brennan must be starving!"

Angela sighed. "True." She got a wicked gleam in her eye. "I know what they could do to keep their minds off their stomachs!"

"You never give up, do you, babe?"

"Nope. Those two are perfect for each other, and I'm going to make them see it, even if I have to hit them both over the head with a brick to do it!"

BBBBBBBBBB

"Well, that was satisfying!"

Booth turned to look at Brennan, who was now sitting beside him. "I hope you were being sarcastic, because I can tell you that this is only going to hold me for about 20 minutes."

"It was something, at least. I didn't see you having anything to share!"

"Well..."

"I'm the one supplying the food and water. What have you contributed?"

Booth smiled. "Stimulating conversation!"

"Oh, and what a treat that's been!" They both looked at each other, then started laughing. When they finally stopped, he looked at her.

"You know, you should do that more often."

"What?"

"Laugh. You're even more beautiful when you laugh."

Brennan started to turn away, but he caught her chin with his finger, and turned her back to face him. "I mean it, Temperance. You are beautiful. Don't ever doubt it."

Brennan felt her pulse race as she looked into his eyes. She wanted to fall into his arms, to kiss him. Nothing mattered at this moment except being with him. Nothing until the familiar sound of his cell phone ringing intruded. Brennan blinked and turned away.

Damn. Booth closed his eyes briefly, then reached for the phone. "Booth."

Brennan leaned back and waited for her pulse to return to normal. She thought that he had been about to kiss her. She shook her head. The heat must be getting to her. They were friends, partners. Nothing more. She was hanging around Angela too much. She turned to him as he hung up the phone.

"That was Cullen. They're expecting to have power back on sometime in the next two hours." Booth sat back, silently cursing the interuption. He had wanted to kiss her, and he thought that in that one moment, she would have let him. Now the moment was gone.

Brennan broke the silence. "So." She tried to sound normal. "It's my turn now, right?"

"What?"

"To ask you a question."

"Oh, yeah." He turned to her and smiled. "What do you want to know this time? My most embarrassing moment? Worst date?"

"What's the real reason you won't let me have a gun?"

Booth was seriously starting to regret teaching her this game. "Bones.."

"Don't even think about backing out of this one! You're going to tell me the truth this time!"

One of these days you're going to learn to keep your mouth shut around her! "Fine. If you want to know, I'll tell you." She was looking at him intently. He took a deep breath. "The truth is...I like being the one to save you." He could see she was getting ready to argue, and he held up his hand. "Look, you're smarter than me. You can look at a person's bones, and tell me how they died. Who they were. How they lived. I can't. You're better at a lot of things. Keeping you safe is the one thing I'm better at, and I'd like to keep it that way."

Booth waited for her to say something. "Well. That is...such a bunch of crap!"

"What?!" That was definately not the reaction he was expecting. "That's the truth!"

"No, I didn't mean...I understand that's what you believe, but it's not true. I'm not better than you. I can read bones, but you..you read people. And one skill isn't better than the other, we need them both." She thought for a moment. "Although it is true that I am smarter than you."

"Okay, I get it." He paused. "Maybe I just like to pretend that you need me sometimes."

"I do need you. Sometimes."

He smiled. "Good. Then we're agreed. You don't get a gun!"

"Booth!"

"Okay, I answered your question, now time for mine."

"No. This issue still isn't resolved!"

"Of course it is. You don't get a gun! Besides, why do you need a gun anyway? I always give you mine when you need it."

"But I..."

"Look Bones, can you just humor me, and let me feel needed, at least in this aspect of our relationship?"

She sighed. "Are you trying to make me feel guilty?"

He smiled. "I don't know. Is it working?"

"Fine, but this is not over. Someday I'm going to get a gun."

Booth smiled to himself. Not if I have anything to say about it!

"Nope. Those two are perfect for each other, and I'm going to make them see it, even if I have to hit them both over the head with a brick to do it!"

LOVE IT!!!

Brennan started to turn away, but he caught her chin with his finger, and turned her back to face him. "I mean it, Temperance. You are beautiful. Don't ever doubt it."

AWWWWWWWW I love BB moments in your fics fly, so ... perfect!

I seriously love this story.

I told you guys, you would love it.
It's perfect, I can't wait to get to read more of it again.

Cullen walked into the lobby, immediately spying the squints camped out in the reception area. Booth had asked him to relay the message regarding the power outage. He headed towards them.

"If we ever get out of here, I'm going to kill Brennnan for dragging us here in the first place!" Hodgins was sprawled out on the sofa, snapping the rubber band around his wrist. Angela sat beside him.

"For goodness sake, Jack! It's only been 3 hours!" Angela shook her head at him. "And anyway, it's really Booth's fault."

Zach was sitting in a chair by the window, looking out into the emerging darkness. "Dr. Goodman is never going to forgive us."

Cullen walked up behind Zach, and cleared his throat. Angela looked up guiltily. "Agent Cullen." She stood up.

"Hello, Angela." He turned to Hodgins. "Well, Dr. Hodgins. I'm sure in the time you've been here, you've come up with at least one conspiracy theory regarding this blackout, haven't you?"

"One?! I've got dozens!" Angela rolled her eyes. "I mean, the government..."

"Jack!" Angela glared at him.

"What?

Cullen just shook his head. "Actually, I wanted to let you know that we should have the power restored sometime within the next 2 hours."

Angela smiled. "Great! Do Brennan and Booth know?"

Cullen nodded. "I talked to them a few minutes ago. They wanted me to let you know." He looked down at Zach, who hadn't said a word. "Are you okay there, Dr. Addy?"

Zach sighed, still worried about Goodman's reaction. "I guess." He turned to Angela. "Maybe if we sent him flowers..."

BBBBBBBBBBBBB

"Are you ready?"

"What?" Brennan had been lost in thought. On one hand, she was so ready to get out of here, but on the other hand, she had to admit that she was having a good time. Well, as good a time as she could have, being trapped in a small space with little food and water, and no bathroom.

"Ready for my next question." Booth flashed her a smile. "And I won't even cheat and ask what you were thinking!"

"I was NOT cheating! You said that I could ask you anything, so..."

He laughed. "I was just kidding! You think I would have learned by now that you take everything so literally."

"You would think. So, what's the question?"

"Tell me about the first guy you had a crush on."

She looked startled for a second. "Well..." She thought for a moment. "I was 15, about 3 months before..." She paused. "...before my parents disappeared."

"Temperance, I'm sorry. You don't..."

"No, it's okay. I actually haven't thought about him in years. His name was Alex. He was, of course, the most popular guy in school, a senior on the football team. He had no idea who I was, of course. Well, other than that I was Russ Brennan's little sister." She smiled at the memory. "I never did tell Russ. He had Alex over to the house sometimes, and if he had known, he never would have brought him." She sighed, and Booth thought he could see the young girl she once was in her eyes. "I lived for those days."

"Does it hurt to talk about it? I mean, about your childhood?"

"Not so much anymore. Actually, I never talked about it much, not even with Angela. But since we found my mother's body, and then my father...well, it's easier." She looked at him. "I can remember the good times, and try not to dwell on the bad."

"I'm glad." He smiled at her. "You know, Bones, I have to say. I can think of a lot of ways that I could be spending my Saturday evening, not one of which involves being stuck in an elevator. But I can't imagine anyone I'd rather be spending it with."

She turned away and didn't reply, but in her mind she was thinking, neither can I.
