It was now a week from thanksgiving. Everyone was out doing things except for Bucky and Danielle.
"Ok for thanksgiving, should I go for the red dress or the brown one. The red is more revealing and has a skirt that flows. The brown one comes up to my neck and goes below the knees." Danielle said holding up two dresses. Pixel sat on the bed wagging his tail.

"Not feeling either of them. Neither am I." Danielle sighed.

"Oh I do have this olive green dress here. I'm pretty sure I stole this from Charlotte but, you know it's nice." Danielle lied. Pixel growled.

"Yeah you're right. I have to have another dress somewhere." Danielle said standing on her tippy toes trying to find another option for thanksgiving. Bucky walked into the room but leaned against the doorframe observing the tiny girl struggle to find a dress as she softly cussed to herself.

"Babe." Bucky said. Danielle got startled and fell out of her wardrobe onto her butt. Pixel jumped off the bed and licked her face.

"Yes?" Danielle asked.

"What are you doing?" Bucky asked confused.

"I'm trying to find something nice to wear on thanksgiving." Danielle said standing up with pixel jumping around her feet.

"What about that brown dress?" Bucky asked sitting onto the bed.

"Yeah me and my buddy weren't feeling it." Danielle said petting pixel.

"Ok how about the red one?" Bucky asked now paying attention to the outside world.

"No I look awful in that so no." Danielle said.

"Hey I think you look great in anything, Wait why are you so worried about what you wear? It's just everyone we know." Bucky said.

"Because every time me and the girls have some social event, I feel like they always dress better than me, and I can't have that but you know that's just my anxiety talking." Danielle sighed. Bucky Just looked at her.

"Stop I know you are judging me." Danielle said.

"Oh so you can read minds now?" Bucky asked.

"I can have all of these secret powers that I've never told you about and you would never know." Danielle said.

"You know as intriguing as that sounds, I'm sure nobody is going to care what you wear. We have all seen each other at our worsts and even in our pajamas half asleep. So what girls wear dresses and guys wear.....decent clothes...can't promise that, but we try our best, that's what matters. Either way tony will say everyone looks great and then will make a big deal about us all being together." Bucky said wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her towards him.

"Yeah but you see it's not that easy for girls
To try. No matter what we wear we will find something about it that we don't like." Danielle said.

"And it is our job as men to make sure you don't find that one thing and to make you feel beautiful, no matter what you are wearing."
Bucky said his voice soft and soothing.

"You are too good for this world." Danielle smiled.

"Far from it, but I got to get back to working around the tower so you have fun. Pixel make sure she doesn't hurt herself." Bucky said and ran off pixel barked. Danielle thought about how Bucky said he was far from good, she sighed and went back to work.

"Ok the only other dress I have in here is this burgundy short dress with a bow in the back." Danielle said pulling it out of the back of her closet. Pixel barked and jumped around.
