Standard disclaimer in Chapter One.

Hello there, and welcome to Chapter Sevenof my Story A Day Maydrabbles! STaD is an annual challenge during which writers commit to finishing a story each day, all month (or adapt the goal, if that works better for them).

In addition to my marketable stories (which are explorations for a novel I'll be drafting in July; I do like to keep my writer-brain happy!), I thought it would be fun to do another series ofTnT drabbles based on a story arc I'm keeping to myself for now. I promise that when the time is right, I'll reveal it!

To make the challenge even more interesting, I'll be using the daily STaD prompt (today's is to re-introduce an old friend who may have answers our character needs), and also prompt words given to me by...well, YOU, if you want to play! Lay 'em on me - I love making my brain work for its amusement!

The STaD prompt for today is:

She waited a week before revealing the secret.I went a little sideways with it...

This story comes a week after T'Pol's previous story, "I'm Just Joking" .

And now I offer you...

"Was It My Attire?"


"Was it my attire?"

"Oh, Paula – or whatever your real name is- it's got nothing to do with your wardrobe."

"I don't understand."

"This time I believe you. But it doesn't matter what you wear: an A-line skirt or Scottish tartan. Dripping intopaz and aquarmarine; a teardrop cut pink diamond or a psychedelic kaleidoscope clutch. You could have the tackiest of acrylic nail art-"

"Is there a point to this listing of these items?"

"Point is, doesn't matter if you wore a burlap sack, silk robe, or catsuit – you give me goosebumps. You, my dear Vulcan, are luminous."
