After we ate breakfast, I told Mulder I had to do some shopping for my dress. He complained that I was shopping too early, but I had pointed out that procrastinating was not my thing. I also told him he better not be finding a tux at the last minute. He had promised he wouldn't, but let's look back at his track record. Mulder had a thing for pissing me off. He also had a thing for procrastinating. He knew it bothered me, so I know he is going to do it just to get pay back.
Mulder dropped me off at my apartment, and I immediately went to my car and headed to the mall. I went from store to store and had come up with next to nothing. None of the dresses really fit me, and they seemed to all resemble prom dresses. Then again, I had no idea what I was looking for. All I knew was that I needed a dress. I knew when I saw it I would just know. Great, now I am sounding like Mulder. Not even fifteen minutes later, I pass a store and see the perfect dress.
I see it on the model and know I just have to try it on. It's black. It has a nice spaghetti strap slip and it would just barely touch my knees. Over the slip is a see through, all over, laced V neck long sleeve. It is perfect. I knew Mulder loved lace, and it is definitely short enough to be called exciting. It was thirty dollars, so the price was perfect. When I tried it on, I walked out of the dressing room to look in the mirror. One of the clerks took one look at me and said, "girl, you better get that dress. You will have guys throwing themselves at you." I only wanted one guy throwing his self at me, and I knew he would after seeing this dress. I already had the dress for the wedding picked out. It was stuffed in the back of my closet. I had bought it at Victoria's Secret once upon a time. It was a blue halter dress with an empire waist, and it was also fairly short. I was all the sudden excited to show these dresses off to Mulder.
Not only was I trying to impress Mulder, but I knew a bunch of my old crushes were going to be there. In high school I wasn't ugly but I wasn't beautiful. I was the ugly duckling, so to say. I soon grew into a swan around my senior year in college, but it was too late by then. Just wait until they see me now. Wow, I was too excited. Where did this Dana Scully come from?
