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!
