A/N: You know those cute, green stockings that Angel wears in the movie? I think they're most noticeable during "I'll Cover You"…

Well, am I the only one who is wondering what the hell the pattern is on those stockings? I mean, just what are those squares / rectangles supposed to be…?

"Angelcake?" Collins cast a sidelong glance to his lover. Her eyes shut, Angel was half asleep. She was comfortably propped up by a pillow resting against the arm of the sofa. Her legs were swung across his lap.

"Hmmmm?"

"What's this??" The professor slipped his hand underneath Angel's left leg, just above the knee. He gently lifted her leg for her to see.

Angel's eyes snapped open. First of all, she did not expect Collins to just grab her so suddenly. Plus, his question got her kind of curious.

"Um, Thomas??" Angel raised a perfect eyebrow as she saw what he was referring to. "That's my leg…"

"Well, I know that, Ang. I mean…what's this lil' pattern supposed to be?? Are they pictures or somethin'?"

Angel considered the question…

"Actually,I don't…really know…" She admitted sheepishly, shrugging.

"Ya don't know what's on your own stockings??" Collins could feel his face breaking out into a huge grin.

Angel smirked back at him. She pointed to a square just above her knee.

"Do you see that one, honey?"

"Uh-huh…" Collins nodded, looking down.

"Well, I think these are pictures…of New York City. This one looks like the Statue of Liberty!"

Collins squinted, tilting his head.

"Oooh! I think you're right…I can see it, Ang!"

Angel smiled, feeling very proud.

"Yeah…but I can't make out what the other ones are."

Collins grinned even harder. He began to slowly walk his fingers up her leg, causing Angel to squirm and giggle.

"Then I don't suppose you can tell me what this one is??"

The light, tinkling laughter of Angel came to an abrupt halt as the hand of her lover disappeared under her skirt. She gasped, her eyes widening.

"Take me to the bedroom and I'll show you…"

Collins did not need to be told twice.
