Suite 104
Hilton Hotel, New York

Mulder & Scully enter the hotel suite and drop their bags on the floor.

"Well this is an improvement to the normal crappy motel rooms we stay in" states Scully looking round the room.

"Ahh they not that bad!" jokingly replies Mulder in which Scully response with one of her looks as to say, you're kidding me right?

It was a sumptuous room decorated in creams and plum colours with hints of gold. There was a small lounge area with double doors leading to the bedroom and en-suite bathroom.

Scully went into the bedroom and immediately started to up pack whilst Mulder sat down on the couch to go through the case file again.

Suddenly there is a knock at the door. Scully shoots her head round the bedroom door and they each other a puzzled look.

"Who is it?" asks Mulder as Scully rings Skinner on her cell phone.

"Signor Dashwood its Giovanni" comes an Italian voice from the other side of the door. "I've come to dress Signora Dashwood for tonight's ball."

Mulder looks a Scully who nods in conformation for Mulder to let the man in.

"Thanks Sir we'll let him in" she replies to Skinner before ending the call.

As the door opens Giovanni enters the room followed by five of his assistants carrying various boxes and pushing rails of clothes.

"Signor Dashwood it is so nice to meet you" he says shaking Mulder's hand "and this beautiful lady" he turns to Scully "must be your wife".

Scully blushes as Giovanni kisses her hand.

"This Signor is for you" says Giovanni turning back to Mulder and handing him a suit bag containing a tux.

"Now Signora Dashwood we must get started" he says to Scully as Giovanni ushers her into the bedroom where his assistants are waiting for them.

Scully raises an eyebrow at Mulder who grins at her as she follows Giovanni into the bedroom.

An hour goes by and one of Giovanni's assistants comes out of the bedroom carrying a pair of red sandals. "Stella get me a gold pair in that style" Giovanni says to the assistant. A hairdryer can be heard coming from the room, which is a hive of activity. Mulder looks up from watching the TV in the living area but cannot see what is going on through the gap in the door.

The assistant comes back ten minutes later with the gold shoes and closes the bedroom door behind her.
After an hour Giovanni leaves the bedroom followed by his assistants with their rails and boxes.

Signor Dashwood your wife….she's bello! He said with a dreamy look in his eye.

"I leave you now, goodnight signor" and with that Giovanni and his assistants leave the hotel suite.

"Ok Sir we'll be down in a minute" says Scully finishing her phone call to Skinner whilst coming out of the bedroom.

Scully is dressed in a full length gold silk evening dress; her hair is bouncing round her jaw line where it has been perfectly blow dried. Her face is glowing from the carefully applied make up, giving a natural radiant effect with lightly smouldering eyes and natural lip gloss.

"Wow Scully you look….wow!" says Mulder his jaw practically on the floor as he's eyes scan every inch of her. I always thought Scully was beautiful but I had never seen her look so stunning! thought Mulder to himself.

"Thanks Mulder" replied Scully giving Mulder a blushing smile. God he looks so dam sexy in that tux Scully thinks to herself.

"Was that Skinner" Mulder says when he has finally managed to regain his speech.

"Yes he wants to meet us downstairs in the lobby for a quick briefing" replies Scully.

"Well then my darling wife shall we?" says Mulder as he puts on the glasses Giovanni had given him earlier in the suit bag. They were black with thick frames, not a style he would have chosen but they suited him.

He hands out his arm for Scully to take. Scully rolls her eyes with a slight smile, takes his arm and they head downstairs.
