Disclaimer:I don't own Buffy or Angel or
Notes:This is for the August fic a day. Set during the Bones episode "Man with the Bone".
Word Count: 311
Prompt:#97 Bonds
The words 'pirate' and 'arrr' were still ringing in Willow's ear as she got to work later that day. Men and pirates, what was so fascinating about them. She remembered the year Xander Harris had dressed up like a pirate. He had never stopped saying "Arrr." That was also the day that he and Anaya had announced their engagement. Everyone had been happy that day. Well except for Dawn. Dawn had snuck out with her best friend and met up with two guys who had turned out to be vampires. Buffy hadn't been pleased to find her little sister necking with a vamp. Willow had been happy too, until Tara had gotten on her case about too much magic. But by in large the Scoobies had been happy. The fight with the first hadn't taken it's toll yet nor had Tara been killed and Willow hadn't gone all black and veiny and tried to destroy the world. So many memories were bonded to the image of Xander as a pirate.
Special Agent Seeley Booth, Dr. Jack Hodgins, and Zack Addy seemed to be bonding over a love of pirates too. Booth usually ignored Hodgins's ideas but he was listening to the idea of Blackbeard's treasure. Willow had yet to figure out what drew men to pirates. Sure she enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Captain Jack Sparrow was fun but she had no wish to be a pirate. Some how Hodgins had gotten the pirate bug so bad that he had gone back to the site in hopes of another dive. It seemed that he had bonded with the chief diver of the salvage company. His hopes of finding treasure was sure to be disappointed, but the pirate bug had struck.
Willow was surprised when Hodgins came back with a gold coin. So maybe the guys knew something after all.
