CATEGORY: H SPOILERS: KEYWORDS: THANKS: TO JULIE-- WHO AGAIN, GAVE ME MOST OF THE IDEAS FOR THIS STORY AUTHOR'S NOTE: HEY, IT WORKED FOR PERREY REEVES! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jennifer browsed through the racks at the local department store, looking for a birthday present for her brother. She felt really weird looking around in the men's department, but, hey, what better place to meet guys than the men's department of a department store?! She was looking at some jeans when she felt a hand tap her on the shoulder. Turning around she met with the chest of a tall man, she looked up, and her eyes locked with a pair of deep hazel eyes that she knew she had seen before. These were the eyes she wrote all her fanfic stories on the Internet about. Sometimes this same shade of deep hazel, sometimes, emerald green, sometimes a sad, stone cold gray, and sometimes a mixture of all or any combination of those colors. She tore her eyes away from the man's eyes and looked at his face. She nearly had a heart attack. Standing before her, with an armful of clothing was David Duchovny, star of "The X Files". "Ummm, could I ask your opinion on a suit?" He asked Jennifer blinked her eyes, thinking, almost hoping that when she opened them David would not be there and it would be someone else, perhaps some one she knew from school. She looked like a tornado victim! Didn't that just figure! After all the times she'd wished that David Duchovny was talking to her, he finally was, and she wished he'd go away. When she opened her eyes, David was still standing before her, looking as cute as ever. <<He asked you a question, Stupid! Answer him!>> Jennifer's mind yelled at her. "Uhhh, yeah, what did you want me to look at?" "Well, I'm trying to pick out a suit to wear to an awards ceremony." David said, trying to make it sound like it was no big deal, and sighing in relief seeing that the teenage girl didn't seem to recognize him. It was hard to find someone that age who didn't have pictures of him plastered all over their bedrooms. He held two suits before her, one a sick shade of lime green, and the other an almost fluorescent light blue. Jennifer's eyes widened at the sight of the suits. She'd never seen an uglier pieces of fabric in her life, and she was hard pressed to decide which one was uglier than the other. She cleared her throat, trying to find something to say that wouldn't hurt him. "Uhh, what awards is this?" David looked at the ground, shuffling his feet, and pretending that he was fascinated by his black basketball sneakers. "The Emmys." Jennifer choked. Visions of David Duchovny making his acceptance speech in a puke green tuxedo flashed though her mind. "The Emmys!" She almost yelled. David looked around nervously, hoping the girl wouldn't attract attention. "David, you were going to wear one of these to the * Emmys *!" David motioned for her to quiet down. "How did you know my name was David?" He asked. "I watch "The X Files". Religiously. I'm a Phile." She answered. David rolled his eyes. "Great." He muttered. "Well, what's wrong with the suits?" Jennifer bit her tongue, trying to decide what to say. She knew that David liked people who were honest, but she knew that honesty meant * seriously * hurting the man's feelings. She could, of course, choose one and let him go to the awards and, learn the hard way, but she * wasn't * going to watch an awards show with him in something like that. She took the suits from him and sighed. "Okay, David. First off, this one.." She held up the green suit. "Looks like someone either puked on you, or blew their nose." David laughed. "And this one." She held up the blue suit. "Looks like it should be highlighter ink." Then she held both of them up in front of him. "And if you wear either of them, the Fashion Police are either, going to arrest you, or if you get inside, and * win * the award, the presenter is going to throw the trophy at you from the stage." Jennifer told him. David laughed harder. She was glad he thought it was funny, because she sure as heck didn't. "So what do I do? Go naked?!" <<Yes!>> Jennifer's brain yelled. "No, David, then they're not going to be able to air the show on network TV." She sighed and grabbed him by the hand. "Come with me. We're going shopping." David obediently followed her. Jennifer dragged David into the "Men's Warehouse" store on the other side of the mall. One of the tailors, dressed in a very nice suit, asked if he could help Jennifer. "Yeah, we need to get this man a suit." "Well, Sir, what kind of suit are you looking for?" the tailor asked. "Don't ask him, he doesn't know." Jennifer told the man. She dragged David to a rack of tuxedoes on the far wall. "See, David?" She said, holding up a plain black tuxedo. "This is what you wear to an awards ceremony." "That's like the one I wore to the Golden Globes." David said. "Right. You did good on that one." "What about the brown satin one?" Jennifer flinched. "No, David. Bad. I yelled at my friends about that for a week. That one looked like someone took a dump on you. What's Gillian wearing?" "I don't know. Unless she gets a good designer, she'll probably show up in her blue jeans looking like some punk teenager." Jennifer shot David a dirty look. "Oh, whoops. Sorry. I didn't mean that * you * were a punk. I meant." Jennifer dismissed his apology with a wave of her hand. "Never mind. I know. It's just that you sound like my parents. Here go try this on." David took the suit from the girl and went to put it on. "This looks stupid." David yelled from the fitting room. "Let me see." Jennifer ordered. David walked out from the changing room with an embarrassed look on his face. "I look stupid." Jennifer frowned. ""Stupid" doesn't sound like a word an English Lit major from Princeton would use." "I could use other adjectives." David said. "But I don't think you mother would like it very much if I taught them to you." Jennifer grinned. She picked up an assortment of ties. "Long tie or short tie?" "No tie." Jennifer sighed. "David, I say "* Long tie * or * short tie *". That means that "* No tie *" is not an option." David stuck his lower lip out childishly. "Okay, * fine *. You don't choose, so I choose for you. Short tie." Jennifer handed David a bow tie. He put it on. An hour later, Jennifer and David had picked out everything he needed for the awards. Suit, tie, cummerbund, socks, and shiny black dress shoes. The man at the counter rang everything up and boxed it, handing the boxes to David. In the parking lot, Jennifer followed David to his car, helping him carry some of the boxes. "Hey, thanks for getting me straightened out on this suit thing." David smiled Jennifer returned the smile, putting her boxes in the trunk of David's red BMW. "Oh, sure, no problem. Hey, could I ask a tiny little favor?" "Shoot." "Jennifer unlocked her blue Jeep Cherokee and pulled a magazine from the back seat. "Could you autograph this." "Sure. Hey, what's your name?" David asked, suddenly realizing that the girl who had known him before he spoke had never told him her name. "Jennifer." She told him. He wrote something on the book, signing his name with a flourish. "There you go!" He handed the book. Jennifer took the magazine as he handed it back to her. "Thanks! Hey, I'll be watching the Emmys, good luck!" David started to get into his car. "Okay, thanks!" He started the car and drove off. It was September fourteenth. The day the Emmys were on. Jennifer was on the phone with her friend Julie. "Julie, I'm telling you the truth! I was at the mall in Sacraemento, and I saw David. He asked me which suit he should buy. One was green and the other was blue, and I told him that both of them were ugly and took him to the Men's Warehouse, and picked his suit out. I swear I'm not making it up." Jennifer told her friend. "Wait! Be quiet. They're doing the best actor award!" Julie said, ignoring her friend. Jennifer had already watched the pre awards show to make sure David wore what she'd picked for him. He was. He looked beautiful, as usual. "The award for best actor in a dramatic series is.David Duchovny from "The X Files"!" The presenter yelled into the microphone. Jennifer and Julie screamed in happiness. David climbed up to the stage, he was smiling, and took the trophy from the woman onstage. Going to the microphone, he started his acceptance speech. "I want to say thank you to, first off, Gillian Anderson, my * wonderful * co-star, Chris Carter, the writers, the whole crew, and especially the fans, who without them I wouldn't be here, and last but not least, Jennifer Garant, who helped me buy this suit and taught me a lesson about my sense of style. Thank you!" David went back to the dinner table he'd been sitting at, and took his seat beside his co-star, Gillian. On the other end of the phone line, Julie coughed and choked. "Jen, I think I'm finally going totally insane. Did David Duchovny just say thank you to you for picking his suit?" Jennifer laughed. "Yeah, Julie. He did. I told you. I played Fashion Police."
