There was only one thing that came to mind when Felicity thought of going back to Vegas, and that was dread. What was I thinking? Why did I agree to this? She thought. "Oh that's right, I had a great job, a fabulous penthouse apartment that I was sharing with my wonderful boyfriend." That's why I RSVP yes, to my class reunion. But, all of that had changed, none of it was true anymore. Sure, I still had my job, thankfully. The rest of it is well, gone. I can't back out though. The tickets are paid for, the flight is booked, reservations have been made, her mother had been notified. No, I will not back out, I will go to this reunion, and I will not go alone. Now, all that is left to do is fine someone, with nothing to do for a weekend, who would like a free vacation to Vegas and in return all they would need to do is make it through dinner with her mother, and a night with her old classmates. This wouldn't be too hard. I can find someone to go with me. Yup, this would not be an issue. Felicity was not going to let a bad brake-up with Ray keep her from showing everyone, just how good she was doing 10 years later. Oh, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that she had done well for herself. College and a job would wow no one. She was always the smartest one in the room, back in school, and it gained her very little on the terms of friendships. Felicity, was always going to be the one who went to college and got a great job, but no one expected her to ever find someone who could put up with her long enough to date her long term. No one was going to put up with her endless babble, or her being so much smarter than everyone else. She was most likely to still be single in 10 years. Still unlovable, still just an IT girl. She thought all that had changed with Ray. She thought he was the one, but for him she was just one of many. She badly waned to back out and stay home. But she couldn't, she wouldn't. "NO" she said aloud "I'm doing this" ,she was going to show up and blow them all away, she was going to show them all that there was more to Felicity Smoak than just another IT girl.
