Rating: K+
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, I'm just borrowing them for a little fun.
Challenge: #39 - Green
Crossover: Bones
Summary: Booth and Willow have a conversation.
Notes: Set in my slightly AU season 5 Angelverse. 3rd in the "Willow, the Squint" subseries.



Willow sat out on the beautiful green lawn of the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington D.C. She had her sunglasses on and was enjoying the spring sunshine while eating her lunch. She had almost finished when Special Agent Seeley Booth came and sat down next to her. She was somewhat puzzled at why the FBI agent had sought her out, but that question was soon answered.

"Have you heard from Buffy lately?" Booth inquired.

"Yeah, I got an email yesterday," Willow replied. "She said to tell you hey."

The witch was amused at the fact that her best friend and the g-man were flirting in noncommittal ways, sending messages back and forth through her. It had to be the silliest thing any of the Scoobies had attempted in a long while. Not that the relationship was going to go anywhere; Buffy hadn't resolved her issues with Spike and Angel, and Booth clearly had feelings for Dr. Brennan. Both were in denial and were using each other as a convenient excuse to resolve nothing. The upshot of it all was that Willow was getting to spend a lot of time in the company of the handsome FBI man. At first, Booth had been embarrassed about Buffy, but once Willow explained he had nothing to worry about he had started to relax.

"So what is she up to?" Booth asked.

"She's busy training new slayers and running the store. She and Faith have just about decided that the girls who survived Sunnydale are ready to go out on their own. Vegas is a hot bed of demonic activity." She smiled as Booth started looking interested. "She said that the other night, while on patrol, they found a nest of a new demon that exploded into a very messy shower of green goo that took her an hour of showering to clean off."

Willow laughed at Booth's expression-- he was looking squeamish. Big tough FBI Agent and he couldn't deal with demon gore? Good thing he and Buffy were never actually going to get together. She gathered up her trash and stood to go. "Agent Booth, it's been nice talking to you, but there is some green slime that Hodgins wants to show me. I don't know why."

Booth laughed. "He probably is trying to impress you."

Willow shook her head in amusement, then walked away.
