Earth Girl.

chapter three, Boys and Girls.

I started on the task of making myself presentable for the party tonight, the dress hung on the closet door as if mocking me . As promised by jess it wasn't too sparkly, just a few diamonte falling from one side of the chest to the waist on the opposit side ,sort of like a shooting star. It was midnight blue ,with a strong corseted bodice then flowing silk and lace to around two inches above the knee. I was just putting the finishing touches to my hair, i decided the red would clash with the blue of the dress so i had recolored the underneath blue to match.I pulled a little of the top layers back with a blue silk bow ,but left my long side swept fringe across my eyes. Lastly i put on the dress and braced myself to leave my room, i could hear the party in full swing downstairs.

As i got to the top of the stairs i saw smith stood at the bottom talking to matt, jess must have picked out his outfit since the bow tie he was wearing wasn't black or white like you would expect from a tux, it was the same shade of blue as my dress. Quickly tapping down the stairs trying not to be heard in my heels i popped up next to smith and matt ,with surprising results.

I was suddenly wet, smith had been taking a drink and i must of startled him since he sprayed me with half the contents of his mouth.

"Oh crap, amy i'm sorry. " he said wiping my shoulder with a napkin. He looked at me like he was trying to solve a puzzle . "I didn't realize it was you , you look like a girl. I mean look at you ,legs and everything" he stated while gesturing to my bare legs. " eww are you gonna go all sappy and moody on me now your a girl , wearing makeup,shaving legs , tweezers and eyebrows .yuk."

He looked like a ten year old who had seen his sister kissing a boy, his face all twisted. I couldn't help but giggle, matt put a hand on my shoulder and handed me a drink.

"I think he might need this more than you" he said pointing towards smith.

"why all the fuss, yes i'm a girl and yes i have legs. it's been that way my whole life" i asked looking smith straight in the face , what was he gonna do ,pull away from our friendship now?

"wel if anyone wants my opinion " matt said with an arm around my shoulders "they are a bloody good set of legs"

He knew just how to break the awkwardness, i let out a laugh then all of a sudden i was behind smith with him holding my hand. He pointed at matt and just said "no"

I couldn't stop the laugh bubbling up,"smith don't be a daft git, he was taking the piss to stop me giving you a slap" i said grabbing his chin and shaking his head a little.

"the proper responce to me coming down would have been, well amy you look nice , not as horrid as expected"

I decided to go find jess, since no one could react worse than smith i had no fear of walking into a crowded room of strangers.

The first thought that hit as i entered the room was that i really wanted to say "it's bigger on the inside" but i kept my cool . The room was full of dr who actors from past and present , what was this some kind of reunion.I took a glass from the bar as moffat aproached to say hi, he commented on the dress and pulled me over to jess for inspection.

She was standing with georgia, " hi amy, oh that dress looks perfect ,and the hair is very nice" just then david popped up gave me a glance and nodded his approval , we heard a clinking and all eyes landed on smith and matt stood in front of the window.

Smith spoke to the room, " I'm glad to see so many faces from the years here tonight, it's time to bring the new guy into the fold" he said waving a hand toward matt.

" Now matt , i've been working with this crazy little family we have assembled here for ... well lets say a very long time" as he said this the whole room broke into chuckles.
