87. Drabble: The tangerine queen
Title: The tangerine queen
Author: dottie_jane
Theme: colors
Notes: Thanks to vl_redreign for the beta.

“No matter how hard you try, you’ll never pull it off, Em.”

Emmett scoffed at Ted’s comment and studied himself more thoroughly in the mirror. He turned around and twisted his neck to see how his butt looked and turned again to the front. No matter how many times Emmett turned and twisted in front of that mirror, he knew that he could not pull off tangerine, pleather pants. Emmett gave a little sigh of defeat, and pouted as he made his way back to the fitting room.
“Don’t worry, Emmett! You’ll always be my tangerine queen!” Ted called out.

	Love the whole thing, but Ted's last line is genius! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I had that one line in my head forever before I figured out the rest of the drabble! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"Not everyone can wear tangerine" :) ...although I'm pretty sure he was wearing tangerine-pleather-ish pants in 101. Maybe he bought them anyway ;) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yaah, I like to think that Emmett ignored Ted's fashion advice, bought the pants, and wore them that night to Babylon. Or at least that's how I'm gonna cover my ass! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	circadia 2009-07-18 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Heehee, well, Emmett sure used those pants to cover his! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Very very cute and sweet. Very true to the feeling of Ted and Em. But I agree with Circ, I think Em went back and bought 'em and totally pulled them off. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, Fun! I don't think Emmett would really take advice from Ted. Sometimes being as fabulous as Emmett takes a bit of self cheerleading. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fun_demented 2009-07-17 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	I couldn't agree more! :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tangerine queen...snort. If anyone could pull it off, it would be Emmett! Thanks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks! There is very little that Emmett can't pull off. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	rosy5000 2009-07-14 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	hehe Oh Em! This is what made Emmett so loveable! :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	My love for Emmett is pretty huge! Thanks for commenting. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	OMG! Emmett Honeycutt most certainly could pull off tangerine pleather! Didn't he actually wear orange leather in 101? Nonetheless, this is a cute drabble and I can just hear Ted's voice in that last line. :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	He did, he did! Ted is just being his party pooper self. I need to write a follow up drabble in which Emmett ignores Ted and buys the dang pants! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bodleian 2009-07-16 12:09 am UTC (link)
	I adore Emmett and Ted is always a pleasure to watch. Good drabble. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you so much. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, I just hope he's trying them on with a pink shirt, like 101. This was super-cute. Thanks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	That's all that was missing. Once he tries on the pink shirt with the pants, then the outfit is complete! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	smiles Anything with Em being Em is good :) This made me smile. Thanks (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad I made you smile! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	butternutsquash 2009-07-17 02:31 am UTC (link)
	Call back to 101! Awesome. (Though, I am thinking when Emmett said to the transvestite, "Love your outfit," then to Ted, "Not everyone can wear [insert rest of phrase I've forgotten.]" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dottie_jane 2009-07-17 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks! Yeah, I need to rewatch that scene apparently. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Em can pull of any or all colors of the rainbow, separately or together, no doubt! He might blind someone, but he could pull it off! :D I can tell, he totally wants those pants, and I bet he gets them!!! Adorably cute! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I could read Ted and Emmett drabbles all day :) (Reply to this)
