AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hope you like it. Comments please!


It was time for work. He needed to get dressed!

Spender shuffled back and forth in his bedroom. He was thinking of what he
was going to wear to work. Scully was going to be there. He smiled and
goofy smile just thinking about her.

(1) "Stop!" Spender yelled out. "I have to get to work!" He was talking to
himself. Yelling! That wasn't a good sign.

He finally stopped pacing. All his clothes looked the same, anyway. Scully
never payed attention to him anyway, so what was the point?

He reached in deep into his closet. His hand clasped a piece of material
covered with plastic. this would be "the one." He unhooked it from the
hangar, and took a close look at it. The suit had just come bach from the
dry-cleaners. (3) The color was odd... they must had done something weird
to it. He unwrapped the suit from the thin plastic wrap. He counted the
buttons. There were supposed to be six. (4) He wondered why there were only
five. You never know that they do to your clothing...

-----

At work, Spender arrived with his faded, one-button-less suit. He was going
to woo Scully today, wasn't he!

He walked down the long FBI hallway, then spotted Scully. She was wearing a
beige formal woman's suit. It hugged her body, and he thought it looked
great on her! She had a small object in her hand. (5) It reminded him of
something, but he wasn't sure what. Then it his him. The pen! They had all
gotten one the FBI convention a week ago. They were cute, with a little FBI
symbol on it.

"Hey, Scully," Spender let out. He tried to sound normal.

"Be quiet..." she mumbled to him. "It is noon. Did you sleep through you
alarm... or are they too big for your rat holes?" Ouch!

"Sorry... I guess did..." he muttered.

"And what's with your suit?" she asked. "Did those scientists experimenting
on you bleach your fur?" Double ouch!

"How about I get you a coffee?"

"Sure," she seemed to be running out of insults. "But I need to get to
work, fast..."

"Then have mine... I haven't even started it..."

"I don't know..."

"Here...." Spender was a little too eager to help her. So eager, so when he
handed her the coffee, she put out her hand, and it fell right onto her.

(2) "Aaaaaaaaaaaa!" she screamed as the scalding coffee burned her skin.
"You moron!"

She turned away from him, and walked away.

Oh well, there was always the next day...

Well, I was limited to the text chosen, so it wasn't top-notch. I hope some
of you come up with something better!
