And we're hitting the end of the first week on this! I can't believe I've gotten all this response. Thank you all! I wish I'd been able to get this up sooner, but the site kind of crashed and all...
To the guest who asked for a drabble about the party from the last chapter-I freaked out for a moment and thought it was this chapter. But I don't have that in my plans. However, I might start a new set upon the completion of this one for other Skitz AUs and prompts. I've got 10 pages worth of prompts, so I'm set people want it.
Formal
Skye studied her reflection and huffed a sigh. The girl in the mirror was wearing a deep purple strapless dress. Silver bangles lined her wrists, and sparkling crystal pins held her hair back in a bun that Simmons had helped her put up. Mirror Skye looked stunning and gorgeous, which Skye could agree with. However, her reflection looked a lot more confident than she actually felt.
"Why can't you do this?" she whined to Simmons, who came over to fix part of the bun. "Why does it need to be me?"
"Like I've told, and like Agent Coulson told you, there are going to be people there who know me," Simmons reminded her. "I can't just walk up to them and get out the information. It's too risky, and you know I'm a terrible liar. Plus, there's also the small matter of needing to hack into the computer system of the benefactor's office to get the information on the Centipede funding. You're the best hacker we have, Skye, and you know that I am rubbish with computers."
Skye snickered. "You did manage to screw up the ones in the lab with that one DVD you and Ward were watching on your date," she teased, knowing that Simmons was going to react to the use of the word 'date'. Those two thought that people didn't know, but they knew.
"It was not a date," grumbled Simmons, crossing her arms. "It was as much a date as what you and Fitz are going on tonight. Why do you keep bringing that up too? I've told you over a dozen times, it wasn't a date. We were just watching a movie together, and that was it, other than-"
A knock on the door cut her off.
"Two seconds!" Skye called, taking the purple clutch Simmons had just passed to her. "How do I look?"
"Gorgeous," Simmons gave her a smile. "He's going to love it."
Skye blushed and muttered a quick thank you to her friend. She opened the door of her bunk to find Fitz standing against the wall. He looked incredibly handsome in his tuxedo in her opinion. His eyes flickered up to her.
"Wow," he sighed, smiling at her. "You look fantastic."
Skye ducked her head and stared at her heels. "You too," she replied. "Are you ready?"
"Yep." Fitz nodded and offered his arm to her. Skye found herself placing her hand on it almost naturally.
Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad mission.
Please review! Is there a favorite of the first week?
