Feedback : k_a_moreland@hotmail.com Disclaimer : In the big inning, CC *created* M & S, and the fans saw that it was good. Then CC proclaimed 'Let them have any fun, and I will sue you!' And the fans saw that this was bad, and did it anyway. ;-) Thanks to: First, Char Chaffin for tolerating this insanity, and to Kell for coming up with this twisted idea and asking me and Andrea to join the fun... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Three writers sat before a long wooden table, in a dimly lit interrogation room. They glanced around nervously at each other, before the door opened and three figures entered. One of the new arrivals withdrew to a dark corner, concealing himself in the shadows. The three writers gaped at the two remaining people, recognizing them immediately. Special Agents Mulder and Scully, and they didn't look happy. File in hand, Mulder turned to the first woman... "Kelly Moreland," Mulder said with obvious disdain. "You do realize that to get laid, I do *not* have to crawl up a chicken's ass and wait?" Scully stepped up next to her partner and peered down at the woman who sat quietly at the table. "And I would *not* hand-cuff my partner to a bed and.. and.. have my way with him!" Scully managed to keep her voice one decibel below a shout. Kelly dropped her chin to her chest and stared intently at her hands, clasped loosely in her lap. "All we're asking for is a little dignity. A little respect. I cannot re-adjust my eyeglasses with my tongue, and I don't need your help to look like an idiot dancing around in Marvin the Martian boxers!" Mulder growled, Jemirah and Andrea snickered softly from their seats. "Shut up, guys," Kelly hissed. "But, I liked that story," Jemirah grinned back. "I liked that story too," Scully replied, earning a quelling look from her partner. "I *didn't* like that story," Mulder growled at all of them. Kelly decided she'd had enough. "Hey!" She slammed her palm down on the table causing a loud thud. "At least I've never made you get gang-raped by a group of rampaging pyromaniacs, or turned you into Cancerman's love-monkey!" A noticeable tremor ran through Mulder's frame at the last part of her sentence and he turned an appalling shade of green. "Okay, so maybe if you're going to write, you should brush up on your grammar. What you do to the English language is an X-File all its own," he grated between clinched teeth. "And for the record," Scully interjected, leaning over the table, "I do not wear thigh-high stockings, black lace teddies, nor do I eat popsicles at work for the sole purpose of tormenting my sexually frustrated partner!" Mulder cut his eyes at her. "Thanks a lot Scully, that really helps me out here," he muttered, before turning his attention back to the writer in front of him. "One more undignified act, and you get to deal with him!" Mulder threatened, pointing to the shadowy figure in the corner. Kell leaned to one side and glanced at the man in question. Despite his graying hair, he looked very much like a surfer. "If you want to write about us, do something respectable, like Char does; 'The Touch', for example, or next time... Next time, we won't be so nice. Is that clear?" Mulder asked loudly. "As smoked glass, G-man," she smiled sweetly up at him. He moved on to the next writer. "And you, what is this, Jeremiah?" His glance would have sliced right through anyone else, but Jemirah was silent, staring at his nose, the sheer size of it adding to her anxiety. "N-no, uh, actually it's Jemirah," she stuttered. "Jemirah?" Scully said, as she looked at Mulder with barely disguised amazement. "Uh, y-yeah, it's, uh, a nickname from school..." Jemirah barely managed to mumble. "Uh, sure,--" Mulder was struggling to hide his annoyance. "It's fine--" "Whatever... Now, Jemirah, you seem to think that I'm suicidal." "I, uh, it was my, I, uh, was kinda depressed, and uh,..." "Calm down Jemirah, it was a good first story." Kelly offered her friend some much needed support. "Ahem..." Mulder was trying desperately to regain control of the interrogation. "Anyway, would it please you to know that I don't have any kind of fascination with X-acto knives? Or--" "Don't forget the scissors, Mulder," Scully prompted, garnering her another scorching glance from her partner. "Or the car wreck, don't forget that one..." Andrea finally piped up. "Andrea!" Jemirah shot her other friend a hurt look, but it missed its mark entirely, as Andrea was too busy staring at Agent Scully. "Well, in the future, if you insist on putting me in the same scene as a knife, you should let me be at the proper end of it, like in 'The Date'." Jemirah was close to tears, but he was relentless. "And you were so blocked you had to rehash the same story for a follow-up? That is pretty sad!" "I wanted people to know what Scully was thinking," she offered, through the tears now coursing down her face. "How would know what I'm thinking? You had me fuck him in your next story, even though he didn't love me!" This drew Mulder's attention away from Jemirah immediately, as he whipped his head around fast enough to give him whiplash. "Scully, did you just say 'fuck'?" he asked as he rubbed at his neck. "And then when you put us in that boat, what was that supposed to be?" Scully continued as she ignored a still- gaping Mulder. "I was trying to be poetic and more descriptive than I usually am and--" She burst into fresh tears as Mulder's laughter filled the air. "Poetic? I wrote better poetry than that in junior high school! I mean, what were you on when you wrote that?" "It reminded me of those acid experiments in med school..." Scully said thoughtfully, before Mulder cleared his throat loudly, shaking her out of her reverie. He turned back to Jemirah, and opened his mouth to say something, but Scully nudged him and indicated the man half- hidden in the shadows, giving them the 'move on' signal. Mulder instantly pulled his act together, and moved on to Andrea, who apparently was still so in awe of Agent Scully, that she hadn't noticed that the agents were now focused on her. "As for you Andrea, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me?" Agent Mulder's voice was laden with condescension. "Hmm?" Andrea finally tore her gaze away from the petite redhead. "I hope I'm not disturbing you," Agent Mulder's tone was unchanged. Andrea's cheeks flushed crimson as she shook her head in response. "Why am I so clueless in your stories? Even when you let me be the one to initiate the relationship, which is rare, you have me act like a gawky teenager. I *do* know how to handle myself around women, you know," Agent Mulder defended himself. All eyes in the room then turned toward Agent Scully as she suddenly seemed to be choking on something. With a wave of her hand she signaled for her partner to continue. After a quizzical stare at his partner, Agent Mulder resumed questioning the eldest of the authoresses. "And for your information, I would never let Krycek get the drop on me," he stated firmly. Agent Scully cleared her throat. "Again," he added, not looking at anyone. Kelly and Jemirah's snickers at the agent's selective memory turned to cringes when he turned his icy glare on them, but he said nothing, as Agent Scully's calming hand had come to rest on his forearm. "I don't really know where to begin," Agent Scully sighed as she took over for her partner. " First of all, despite what you might think, I always know where all of my underwear are. Second of all, if I ever did want to get Agent Mulder's attention, I could do it without the aid of pornography." Andrea couldn't meet the eyes of the female agent. "These scenarios are all so unrealistic," Mulder shook his head, "I mean, Scully as a decoy for a teenage girl, come on!" "Well, there was that one story, Mulder, where you thought something had happened to me so you came rushing over to my apartment and we ended up kissing on the floor. I thought that one was believable," Scully pointed out. "Well, okay, I guess I do have to admit that one was pretty good," Mulder agreed. "Um," Andrea cleared her throat, "That was "Kissing Hello" by Char Chaffin. But it *was* really good, eh?" "Eh?" Mulder laughed. "You're Canadian, I take it." "You couldn't tell from her spelling?" Jemirah rolled her eyes. "It's not like it takes a genius," Kelly couldn't help laughing. A sound from the shadows made everyone turn in that direction; the shadowy figure was giving the 'wrap it up' signal. Mulder straightened, and peered down at the three of them. "You can go, for now," he said in a stern voice, "but remember, we are watching--and reading." The three women at the table broke the sound barrier as they bolted from the room. Once in the hallway, Kelly turned to look at her two cohorts. "Damn, no body cavity search?" Kell asked, a little disappointed. "Who are those two trying to kid? I could taste the sexual tension in the room." Andrea added distractedly. "Yeah, you could cut it with a knife..." Jemirah agreed. "Remind me to send him a thank you note for the new asshole he chewed me," Kelly grinned. "Only if you remind me to send them a bill for the therapy I'm going to need," Jemirah said, looking back at the door to the room with a shudder. "Do you think if I asked really nice, she'd send me an autographed picture?" Andrea asked, a dreamy look on her face. Kelly grabbed both her friends by their arms, and hauled them out the door.
