Summary: How do you describe someone you love? ---------------------------------------- DESCRIBING SCULLY Written by: Erin M. Blair ---------------------------------------- I heard a door open to the bar on a hot summer's day, and I looked up to see my partner walking in. She gave me a smile as she sat down next to me at the bar. "Hi Mulder," she said. "Hi," I said, as I gazed into her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were of a sparking blue, the same color of the Pacific Ocean. I can picture the nice cool breeze as the waves keep rolling in and out. Then I looked at her shoulder-length auburn hair. It was the same color as a jewel. What kind of a jewel? Ruby. Not an old, discarded ruby, but a new one which sparkled against the sunlight. That's the way her hair looks to me. A bright ruby. "What are you looking at, Mulder?" Scully inquired. I know she was wondering why I was observing her, but I couldn't help it. I know she's my partner, but I couldn't help to look at her. She's beautiful! I looked at her complexion, and remarked how creamy white it was. It wasn't a peaches-and-cream color, but she looks like Ivory Soap. She even smelled like ivory soap today. Sometimes, she smelled like strawberries to me. I think she wanted to change how she smelled to me. I guess. I know she was waiting for me to answer her, and I gave her a small smile. "I just couldn't believe I'd never paid attention to your beauty before." She gave me a questioning glance. "Really?" I nodded. "You're beautiful." "I'd never known. Nobody ever told me if I was pretty or not." She gave me a shy smile. "Thank you." "Do you want me to describe you?" "Go ahead." "Scully, your eyes the color of the Pacific Ocean... Your hair's the color of a sparkling jewel..." "What kind of sparkling jewel?" "A ruby." "A bright ruby?" I nodded. "Yes." "Go on," Scully said with a smile. "I'm beginning to love this." "Your skin tone's the same color of a bar of ivory soap." "Is there more?" Scully said as her eyes twinkled with happiness. "That's all I could think of at the moment." "Oh," she said knowingly. "Let me know if you come up with anything more. I loved your descriptions of me." "Thanks." I decided to change the subject. "Do we still have to work on the paperwork from the Jennifer Reynold's abduction case?" She nodded. "Skinner needs it by tomorrow. He's giving us a day off to relax. We've been through so much recently." "That's good," I said with a sigh of relief. "Dana Scully, I'm so glad you're my partner." "And I'm so glad you're my partner, Fox Mulder." End of Story Author's Note: This was written originally for my Creative Writing course I'm taking this year, and I had used the names of Danielle Lesky and David McConnell. Since Danielle was supposed to look like Scully, it was easier for me to change the names. =) So far, I'm learning a lot about description than I ever had before. It's great! This story doesn't have much of a plot at all. It's just a romantic, friendly character piece.
