A few weeks into the new academic year, just as San Francisco fall is in the full swing of the brief few weeks of warm weather it graces them with each year, Bones has a huge paper due for his xenobiology class due the next day and not enough hours to do it, and Jim camps out on Bones’ bed all night with his PADD to work on some homework of his own and catch up on celebrity gossip - solidarity and all that. )
