A Phone Call

Takes place during "Angel" when Cordy finds her one of a kind dress has been duplicated.




"What?!" Cordelia cried.

She glanced ahead and saw a girl wearing the same dress as hers. She walked up to the girl angrily.

"Where did you get that dress?" Cordelia followed the girl into the school. "This is a one-of-a-kind Todd Oldham. Do you know how much this dress cost?"

"Is this a knockoff?" Cordelia grabbed the girl by her dress and checked the label. "This is a knockoff, isn't it?! Some cheesy knockoff! This is exactly what happens when you sign these free trade agreements!"

The girl managed to escape Cordelia and dash off to her classroom. Cordelia ducked into the bathroom and sat her purse on the edge of a sink. She opened up her purse, pulling out her cell phone. Cordelia dialed a number, and waited. Someone picked up after three rings.

"Hello?" A man answered.

"Francois?" Cordelia demanded. "Is this you?"

"C-Cordelia, um…what can I do for you?"

"What you can do, is explain to me why someone else is wearing my dress!"

"W-what dress?"

"Don't play dumb with me! My one-of-a-kind Todd Oldham!"

"Well, you see…"

"You said it was a one-of-a-kind! Why isn't it a one-of-a-kind?!"

"Look, there was a mistake at the office."

"You bet your ass there was a mistake!"

"Look, I can get you a new one…how about a Laura Ashley?"

"Me? Wear Laura Ashley? What, are you brain dead?!"

Cordelia heard the bathroom door open, and watched as a girl walked in.

"Hello?!" Cordelia said. "Can I help you with something?"

"I need to use the-" Cordelia cut her off.

"Can't you see I'm on an important call here?" Cordelia demanded.

The girl, frightened, turned around and left the bathroom.

"Hello, Francois?" Cordelia put the phone back to her ear. "Are you still there?"

"Yes," He replied. "How about a Donna Karen?"

"One-of-a-kind?"

"Uh…of course."

"Fine. I'll pick it up tonight," Cordelia hung up the phone and placed it back in her purse.

The next day…

Cordelia walked up to the school and spotted Harmony.

"Harmony!" Cordelia walked over to her friend. "Did you-where did you get that dress?!"

Harmony looked at Cordelia and was shocked to find that they were wearing the exact same dress.

"Me? How did you-" Cordelia cut her off.

"Excuse me," Cordelia said icily as she reached into her purse. "I have a phone call to make…"
