write this. Sue her! By the way, the character of the old shopkeeper =
is all=20
mine, baby! I retain all licensing rights, so expect to see an action =
figure=20
of this fantastic new character!
Summary: Mulder and Scully =
find the=20
fountain of youth and discover it's not all it's cracked up to=20
be.
Archive: Yeah, just as long as it's not on somebody's =
"Worst=20
Of" page. Eviscerate me behind my back, not to my =
face.
Notes: =20
It's got humor. It's got lust. It's got mosquitos. What more =
could you=20
want?
A major shout-out to my honey Satina, who was my beta, =
which I=20
thought was a type of fish, but she informed me otherwise. She told =
me when I=20
screwed up-- "No, honey, Mulder cannot jump buildings. That's the =
Bionic=20
Man". She also explained to me what a maillot was. Thanks=20
babe!
Spoilers: None... It's not really beholden to =
continuity, but=20
it does take place in Florida and deals with the fountain of youth, =
something=20
they touched upon in "Detour." I mention that case, but don't really =
give=20
away any major plot points from it. If you've seen it you'll get one =
of the=20
jokes I make and if you haven't seen it... c'mon! You call yourself =
an=20
X-Phile? It's a great ep! Go find someone who's taped it and watch =
it! Other=20
than that, I imagine this taking place somewhere in Season 7, before =
-duh-=20
Mulder was abducted.
Feedback: Please send it to=20
bizzzichick@yahoo.com. She'll share it with me. But only =

"Mulder=
, you=20
are old. Aged. There's nothing wrong with it. It happens to us all. =
And, no=20
you're not getting junk mail solicitations for membership to the =
AARP...=20
yet..., but you are reaching the age where "Diagnosis: Murder" is =
becoming an=20
increasingly more intriguing show."
Scully stood there, hands on =
hips,=20
looking exasperated, exhausted, dirty, miserable, and, in Mulder's =
eyes,=20
perfectly luscious. Her eyes, if Mulder had actually been able to =
maintain=20
eye contact instead of drifting over her body, were quite clearly=20
communicating to him deep annoyance. Her ensemble, a white tank, =
khaki=20
shorts, and matching vest were ordered from Banana Republic, but =
surely,=20
Mulder thought, Banana Republic never looked THIS good. Mulder kept =
all of=20
this to himself, of course-- his little secret smile never revealing =
his=20
totally unprofessional thoughts. Still, no matter how much he tried =
to deny=20
his feelings, he had to admit: He loved to see her casual. Now, what =
was she=20
saying?
Mulder's face, sweating from the lush Florida heat, =
retained his=20
casual impassiveness, but inwardly he winced. Ouch. "Diagnosis: =
Murder?"=20
Better to be kneed in the groin than to admit to being a fan of a =
show that's=20
main premise was a geriatric doctor solving mysteries in between =
bingo=20
and Metamucil shots. Mulder's mind worked overtime to think of a =
retort=20
stupid enough to convince Scully that her tirade was having zero =
effect on=20
him.
"You got it all wrong Scully. I'm a strict "Matlock" fan," =
Mulder=20
said convincingly.
Scully, realizing Mulder's joke and STILL =
not=20
laughing, pressed onward.
"We've been walking in circles for =
hours,=20
Mulder. In the middle of a muggy Florida swamp. I admit the first few =
snapping turtles we found were interesting. The snakes? Sure! =
Fascinating. I=20
don't think I've seen so many varieties. And I never thought I'd ever =
be that=20
close to alligators... so much in ,um, love... But the charm is =
starting to wear off, Mulder. And why are we out here? Research? A =
case? The=20
"mothman" case, if you want to call it that, was closed. No, you want =
to=20
traipse around, ruining my weekend, looking in the muck for something =
that=20
doesn't even exist!"
Mulder pulled his eyes quickly up from =
Scully's=20
exquisitely curved legs and struggled to say something that sounded =
like he=20
wasn't thinking about sex.
"I'm so over the "mothman" angle, =
Scully. Stay=20
with me. I've got bigger unexplained phenomena to waste your weekend=20
with."
She swatted a mosquito a little too forcefully and wiped =
the blood=20
on her shorts.
"Yes, well, Mulder, whatever happens out here =
don't=20
expect me to sing to you again."
"That's a shame. I hear you =
do a mean=20
'Hakuna Matata.' Look. Just hear me out. There are too many =
compelling=20
reports giving credence to the existence of a Fountain of Youth, =
Scully. A=20
mythical spring giving those who bathe in its waters eternal youth =
and=20
beauty. There's also many stories that describe a healing effect that =
it has=20
on the sick--"
"Mulder, you're buying into the delusions of those =
who=20
can't-- or won't-- come to grips with their own mortality. We age. =
It's the=20
way of things. We age, then we die."
"Gee, now you're =
depressing me,=20
Scully."
"There's nothing wrong with it Mulder! It's perfectly =
natural.=20
That's what I've been trying to convince you of for the last hour. =
You are=20
old, Mulder. And it's ok! The sooner you're able to accept that, the =
better=20
you'll be. The better we'll both be, because then we can leave. I =
hate this=20
heat."
"Hold perfectly still, Scully."
Mulder stared at =
her neck=20
intensely, signaling to Scully that either there was a large =
Swamp-Ape behind=20
her ready to chomp down on her neck, or that Mulder just needed a =
moment to=20
remember where the rental was parked. You never knew with Mulder. He =
raised=20
his hand and swiftly thwacked her neck.
"Mulder!"
Scully =
arched=20
her eyebrows, awaiting an explanation.
Mulder obliged, showing =
her his=20
palm, now covered in blood and bug guts. He was almost pushing forty, =
but his=20
grin was all little boy.
"Skeeter. Big 'un."
"Thanks, =
Mulder. I=20
think." She smiled despite her best efforts not to.
"All =
right,=20
Scully. Let's get out of here. I guess those maps Byers and Frohike =
gave me=20
were wrong. But I still say there's nothing wrong with wanting to be=20
young."
Scully instinctively prepared to respond with a speech on =
being=20
comfortable with yourself no matter what the age, but decided that to =
do so=20
would prolong their time in the swamp considerably. Instead, she =
softly bit=20
her bottom lip and kept her mouth shut, unaware of the underlying =
eroticism,=20
and most definitely unaware that she was providing the perfect image =
that=20
Mulder would store in his mind and trot out every time he was to =
masturbate=20
in the next six months.
Resting next to a cypress tree, Mulder =
checked=20
his watch, not to check the time, but to make his eyes look at =
something that=20
wouldn't give him a hard-on. He still found it intensely difficult to =
get=20
Scully's lips out of his mind.
Not now, he thought to little =
Mulder.=20
Not now.
"So, Mulder, what time is =
it?"
"Huh?"
"Your watch.=20
You're looking at it. What time is it?
Mulder's mind went from =
0-60 and=20
back again in 5 seconds, from a debauched fantasy that involved =
Scully, a=20
pair of handcuffs, and those wonderful lips exploring his naked =
thighs, to=20
the more banal reality of a nameless swamp in Florida. He looked up =
with a=20
dumb look on his face. His forehead itched.
"Oh... oh yeah! The =
time!=20
It's 4:30."
"Mulder, I think this heat is getting to you. Let's =
get back=20
to the car and look for a motel. I've lost enough blood to these =
mosquitos=20
already."
Little Mulder nodded in assent.
"Not a bad idea =
Scully.=20
We could get naked and check out each other's bodies for wood=20
ticks."
Scully stared off at a tree, not knowing whether to laugh =
or=20
cry.
"You say all the things a lady wants to hear, =
Mulder."
"Well,=20
I have been around the block a few times,=20
Scully."
..............................
Mulder drove =
confidently,=20
absolutely positive that despite all evidence to the contrary, they =
were not=20
lost. He did not let the fact that they had been driving for two =
hours down=20
the same stretch of road bother him. Highway 1 had to be around here=20
somewhere. He punched the scan button on the radio to let Scully know =
he was=20
not in the least worried that they had seen no road signs for 60=20
miles.
"Static. There's nothing but static. Don't they have radio =
stations out here?"
"Depends on where *here* is, Mulder. Why =
don't we=20
check the map?"
"Don't go there, Scully."
"Hmmm, maybe =
because...=20
it's a map of..oh! Georgia."
Her voice went up at the end. All =
that was=20
missing was the implied "Duh!"
"Hey, it could've happened to =
anyone.=20
Florida. Georgia. They're right next to one another. You know. On the =
little=20
map thingy. Rack! On the map rack."
"Do you have any idea at all =
where we=20
are?"
"No, but I have a feeling that Hal might."
"Who's=20
Hal?"
Mulder pointed to a decrepit-looking sign up ahead =
that read,=20
"Hal's Gas Shack."
"Of course," Scully said to =
herself.
Hal's=20
Gas Shack was truly that: an old shack, with two rusted-up =
pumps outside for=20
gas, one unleaded and one diesel. The signs reassured customers that, =
yes,=20
Kools were sold here and that all shoplifters could expect to =
be shot. Hal=20
was nothing if not honest.
Mulder opened the shop's door, held =
it, and=20
gently rested his hand on the small of Scully's back, ushering her in =
the=20
door. As usual, he struggled to shake off his intense desire to move =
his hand=20
southward. That was something the FBI Employee Handbook tended =
to frown=20
upon.
A bearded man, about seventy from the looks of it, was =
sitting on a=20
stool behind the counter, shoving tobacco into his mouth and watching =
"Temptation Island" on a tiny black and white TV.
"Dumbasses," =
he=20
hissed.
"Pardon?" Scully said, trying not to be disgusted by the =
dark,=20
pungent, grainy substance running from his mouth to his =
beard.
"Oh,=20
sorry," the old man said. He wiped the excess tobacco spittle on =
his sleeve.=20
"I was caught up in my show. All a bunch of dumbasses. =
Beautiful young things=20
without a clue as to what to do with themselves."
His mouth =
opened and he=20
cackled psychotically, giving Scully an excellent view of his =
blackened=20
teeth. She felt like retching, but offered a polite smile=20
instead.
Mulder walked up to the counter and set down two cans, a =
Lipton's tea and a Diet Coke. He also threw down an impossibly huge =
bag of=20
David's Sunflower seeds.
Both the old man and Scully stared at =
Mulder.
"I don't want to run out," he said =
defensively.
"You don't=20
happen to have any maps, do you?" Scully said. "Of Florida. The state =
we're=20
in," she added helpfully.
"Hmmm, no, can't say that I do. You =
folks=20
lost?"
Mulder and Scully managed to say no and yes at the exact =
same=20
time.
"Um, sir, where is Highway 1 from here?"
"Well, =
miss, I hate=20
to tell you this, but Highway 1 is about 120 miles =
that way."
The old=20
man pointed in the direction that they had just come from.
Mulder =
looked=20
down at the floorboards and bit the inside of his cheek to keep a =
string of=20
expletives at bay.
"That'll be $5.98. You folks out lookin' for =
the=20
Swamp-Ape?"
Mulder perked up.
"Swamp-Ape?"
Scully =
looked at=20
her watch and then looked at Mulder, which, to any rational human =
being would=20
indicate that they had precious little time to gab about mythical =
creatures=20
that Stephen King would be hard pressed to =
make believable.
Mulder=20
though, had learned to tune out the whole "watch thing" about, =
oh, the 3rd or=20
4th X-file, and it certainly wasn't registering with him now. He was =
in the=20
zone. At this point, Scully theorized, she would have to strip naked, =
climb=20
up on the counter, and hump the pole that held the Hostess Twinkies =
while=20
singing Lady Marmalade at the top of her lungs to keep him from =
getting=20
sucked into the latest unsubstantiated paranormal hoo- ha.
Maybe =
next=20
time, she thought. Instead, Scully let out a tired sigh and=20
spoke up.
"Unless you want to talk about Swamp Apes all day, I =
wouldn't encourage him."
The old man looked at her as if she =
had said:=20
"Swamp-Ape? Tell me more, old-timer!" And, happy to oblige, he=20
did.
"He's kinda like bigfoot... so they say. Got a pitcher of =
'im right=20
here. Clear as day."
He held up a ratty-looking tabloid, which =
Mulder=20
carefully examined. Despite headlines that proffered that Jenna Bush =
was a=20
Mandroid, Mulder seemed to peruse it as seriously as someone else =
would the=20
Wall Street Journal. Scully rolled her eyes but neither one of the =
men seemed=20
to notice.
"We're looking for the Fountain of Youth actually," =
Mulder=20
enthused. "But this.. this is pretty good. Look at those=20
fangs!"
Mulder unconsciously bared his teeth as he=20
read.
"Actually, all we're looking for is a motel. A nice, clean, =
ordinary motel. Any around here?"
"Aw no miss. You're about 4 =
hours=20
from the nearest motel. You need to get on Highway =
1."
"Thanks. That's=20
extremely helpful."
Mulder pointed to a crudely drawn artist's =
rendition=20
of the fabled Swamp-Ape. It looked oddly similar to A.D. Skinner. If =
A.D.=20
Skinner had fangs, fur, and drooled a lot.
"Look Scully, =
there's your=20
boyfriend."
Scully crossed her arms.
"I'll be in the car,=20
Mulder."
Mulder watched her leave, stealing one last greedy look =
at=20
Scully's perfect ass. It was a beautiful sight and as the little bell =
on the=20
front door jangled when she left, he realized, wistfully, that every =
time he=20
heard a convenience store bell jingle it would cause his mind to =
recall the=20
image of that wonderful ass. Like one of Pavlov's dogs, =
drooling for a=20
treat.
"I better go, Hal."
"Oh, I'm not Hal. I'm Dominic. =
You can=20
call me Dom. Hal's my little brother. Haven't seen him for five =
years. Keep=20
on waiting for him to show up, but I don't think he's coming=20
back."
"Where did he go?"
"Well, he's got something in =
common with=20
you. He went out lookin' fer the Fountain of Youth. And I figger he =
must have=20
found it."
"That's amazing."
"Either that or he got 'aten =
by a=20
'gator."
"Umm, yeah. Well, let's hope for the best. I gotta=20
go."
"Yeah, I've learned it's best not to keep the missus=20
waitin'."
Dom smiled lasciviously and winked at Mulder. Mulder =
nodded and=20
smiled back, conspiratorially.
"You're a wise man,=20
Dom."
...............
The setting sun hung low in the =
cloudless=20
sky, quite effectively blinding Mulder as he drove down the now quite =
familiar road. He hid behind the sun visor and squinted. It didn't =
really=20
help all that much and made him feel like Clint Eastwood.
"Did =
I ever=20
tell you I HATE Florida?" Mulder spat. "I hate the sun. I hate... I =
hate=20
FRONDS."
Scully shrugged. She'd lost the energy to banter and =
Mulder=20
seemed to be doing just fine without her. Her eyes began to close,=20
involuntarily. She tried to keep them open. They closed. So =
nice. =20
Opened. Closed. A glint of light flashed in her eyes, reflected from=20
something on the side of the road. She sat up straight, totally awake =
now.
"Mulder. Did you see something?"
"I can barely see =
the road.=20
Why?"
"I don't know. I thought I saw something. I think you =
should turn=20
around."
"Was it the Swamp-Ape?"
Scully shot him "the =
Look",which=20
was shorthand for: "Don't fuck with me, do what I say before I stick =
a pointy=20
thing in the back of your neck. Now." She only used it in emergencies =
and=20
times of stress. All in all, it was one of the most effective weapons =
in her=20
arsenal. Mulder knew it well.
"Ok, ok. I'm turning around. =
No need=20
to give me "the Look."
He pulled to the side of the road, checked =
each=20
way for traffic, human or otherwise, and pulled back out. He drove =
one mile=20
before he saw it. A small metal sign, planted into the ground bearing =
one=20
word: REST. The sign was in the shape of an arrow and pointed off =
onto a dirt=20
road.
"Whaddya say? Wanna check it out?"
"Oh why not =
Mulder. I=20
don't think we've seen that part of Florida yet."
Mulder heard =
the=20
sarcasm in her voice, but he wasn't about to be fooled. He knew she =
was just=20
as curious as he was. He turned onto the dirt road, grateful not to =
have the=20
sun in his eyes.
SPLAT! Two amorous bugs in the throes of passion =
careened into the windshield, splattering gloriously in Mulder's line =
of=20
sight.
"Wow, that's a nice sized bug. What is that, Mulder? I =
can't quite=20
make it out."
SPLAT! Before Mulder had a chance to respond, =
another=20
suicidal couple blissfully went out in a blaze of glory.
"Not =
one bug,=20
Scully. Two. They're couples, probably on their honeymoon. Floridans =
call=20
them Love Bugs. They fly around screwing their brains out. What a way =
to go,=20
huh?"
Mulder pushed the wiper button. As fluid spurted onto the =
bug guts,=20
Mulder smiled and winked.
"Give you any ideas?"
"You're =
a true=20
romantic, Mulder."
They rounded a corner and then saw what in =
their tired=20
minds could only be considered a miracle from God: namely, a MOTEL. =
Nestled=20
in between magnolia trees lay a humble, plain-looking series of =
cabins. A=20
wooden sign read: Ponce de Leon Motor Court Inn.
"Is that... =
is that a=20
motel, Mulder?"
"Yeah, clear back in the woods. Are you creeped =
out=20
yet?"
As they pulled up, the radio's static cleared up instantly, =
playing=20
for them the melancholy "Stardust", sung velvet-smooth by Nat "King" =
Cole.=20
Ol' Nat lamented in his special way that "Love is now the stardust of =
yesterday, The music of the years gone by."
"Well, Mulder, =
let's be=20
reasonable. Just because we can now get a radio signal--"
"In =
the=20
woods. Next to spooky cabins out in the middle of nowhere."
"The =
cabins=20
are not "spooky."
Scully held up two fingers on each hand and =
wiggled=20
them, emphasizing his choice of phrase, not hers.
"In fact, =
Mulder,=20
these types of places are typical getaways for people who want to =
camp, but=20
would like some amenities. Like--"
She noticed a sign that said =
POOL and=20
motioned to it.
"Like a pool. Wow. That sounds really, really =
nice. Come=20
on, Mulder. I'll protect you if the caretaker likes to dress up like =
his=20
mother."
"Well. Ok then."
Mulder shut off the ignition and =
they=20
both got out. The magnolia blossoms, in full bloom, looked and =
smelled like a=20
slice of heaven. The light, tangy, almost citrus scent relaxed them =
and=20
instantly took a day's worth of stress away from them.
They =
entered=20
the main cabin. A sign let them know that there were vacancies, in =
case they=20
had happened to miss the empty parking lot. The tiny foyer =
was decorated with=20
a stuffed swordfish, two pea-green lounge chairs and a coffee table =
decorated=20
with vintage Life and McCall's magazines. There was a calendar, =
inexplicably=20
stuck on February 1953 and featuring a picture of Betty Boop =
patriotically=20
waving a flag and winking, implying God knows what. The room further =
boasted,=20
not one, but two vending machines, one of them seemingly offering =
glass=20
bottles of Tab to the exclusion of anything else. The other one, a =
nicotine=20
fanatic's dream, sold an astonishing array of cigarettes, everything =
from=20
Morleys to Kools. A ceiling fan turned at a leisurely pace as =
if it had=20
realized it had nothing better to do with its time.
A lanky 14 =
year=20
old boy sat behind the front counter, reading a beat-up Jack Kerouac=20
paperback. The cover was ripped off and Mulder couldn't make out =
the title,=20
but he assumed it was "On the Road."
"Hi there. Boy we're glad we =
found=20
this place," Mulder said. "Um, is there an adult around? We'd like to =
get a=20
couple of rooms."
"Ah'm it, I guess," the boy drawled. "How long =
you=20
stayin'?"
"Just one night," said Scully.
The boy's eyes =
lingered=20
five seconds too long on Scully's chest. Scully pretended not to =
notice, but=20
Mulder fully understood. If there was a man who had the strength and =
iron=20
will not to sneak a peek at something so perfect, Mulder hadn't met =
him yet.=20
Ironically, her gold cross, the religious symbol hanging from her =
neck that=20
was supposed to represent faith and a commitment to God, instead only =
served=20
to drive mens' eyes directly down to Scully's cleavage; a golden =
arrow=20
pointing, not to the Heaven described so vividly in The Bible, but =
downwards,=20
to a different sort of heaven all together.
"Well, you let me =
know if=20
there's anything I can do for you, ma'am."
"I'll let you=20
know."
"That'll be $26.00 even. Here's your keys."
"Wow. =
For both=20
rooms? What a deal. Is the pool still open?" Scully asked.
The =
boy's eyes=20
lit up.
"Well, normally it's closed, being as it's gettin' late =
and=20
all... But, aw shoot, I'd make an exception for you."
The boy =
looked=20
around nervously as if he expected someone to run up and box his ears =
for=20
breaking the designated pool rules.
"Thank you. Meet you over =
there=20
Mulder."
Scully grabbed her room key, which was attached to a =
small block=20
of wood, and left. Mulder paid the boy with 3 crisp twenties and =
leaned over=20
to whisper to him.
"You're a little young for her, don't you=20
think?"
The boy shot him a dirty look as Mulder reached over and =
tousled=20
the boy's hair.
"Wait a few years," he added on his way=20
out.
.......
Mulder threw his duffel on the twin-sized =
bed. The=20
bed was covered with a magnolia themed quilt and it was easily the =
nicest=20
looking thing in the room. No magic fingers, but beggars couldn't be=20
choosers. Finally, relaxation. Nice room. Nice bed. Swimming pool. =
Swimming=20
pool? Mulder's relaxation turned quickly into anxiety. Swimming pool. =
Scully.=20
In a swimsuit. Little Mulder didn't stand a chance.
Mulder =
cursed=20
himself for not beating off this morning. It was a necessary part of =
his=20
morning routine. Working with Scully made it necessary. If he didn't =
release=20
the sexual frustration at least once a day... well, let's just say =
Mulder was=20
sure he'd be defending himself in a sexual harassment suit. To be =
honest, he=20
had started masturbating when he awoke this morning. It was a perfect =
image--=20
Scully bent over, reaching for something, wearing nothing but garters =
and her=20
fuck me pumps, looking coyly back at Mulder. Then the call from =
Frohike=20
effectively made Little Mulder grow quite limp. Frohike. Mulder's=20
anti-Viagra.
He paced. Sure, he had remembered to bring his =
swimming=20
trunks, but there was no way he was going to let himself grow a =
trouser tent=20
in front of Scully. Vague innuendos were one thing, an erect penis =
quite=20
another. There was only one way out of this. He had to beat off.=20
Now.
Mulder stripped off his clothes and lay down on the bed. He =
lightly=20
stroked his dick, rubbing it, trying to arouse it into hardness. =
Little=20
Mulder wasn't responding. He tried to think of his Dream-Scully, but =
it only=20
filled him with the anxiety of him becoming erect in the swimming =
pool. He=20
sat up and scanned the room, looking for anything to inspire him. =
Alas,=20
though the room was homey and quite comfortable, the motel's extras =
stopped=20
short of porno mags.
"Ads! Ads! I need a Target underwear ad!" =
he said=20
to no one in particular.
Mulder found a newspaper laying on the=20
nightstand and began to rifle through it. News. News. Gardening. =
Comics.=20
Blondie? Damn, only Dagwood in this one. How many cartoons could you =
do of=20
him making a sandwich anyways? Saddam Hussein. 'NYSNC. Well, there is =
that=20
cute one. No, not doing it. Wal-Mart ad? Oh, they use their own =
employees=20
don't they? Ohhh. Mulder deliberated and then put it aside just in=20
case.
He sat down again, defeated. He sighed and his eyes drifted =
to a=20
calendar hanging on the wall. Little Mulder twinged. Betty Boop =
winked, just=20
for him.
"Oh, Betty!" Mulder breathed.
His penis hardened =
easily=20
under his touch. He gripped it tightly, then released. While not as=20
pleasurable as the grip of a wet pussy, it was, as millions of men =
had=20
discovered before him, not bad. His grip tightened and he stroked =
repeatedly,=20
fucking his fist. He felt the sensations intensify in his cock and he =
responded by stroking harder and harder. He felt the pre- ejaculate =
rise to=20
the tip of his cock... and immediately stop as a big Palmetto bug =
scurried=20
across his naked legs.
"AHHH!! Cockroach!" Mulder screamed and =
not with=20
pleasure. On cue his dick turned =
limp.
"Dammit!!"
Frustrated,=20
Mulder gave up and put on his Speedos. He looked in the mirror, ran =
his=20
fingers through his hair and scrunched up his face, a =
brilliant pantomime of=20
comic rage.
"Cockroaches in Florida," he said flatly.
"You =
be=20
good," Mulder said to Lil' M and walked out the door.
Scully was =
waiting=20
for him beside the pool, laying on a white plastic lounge chair. She =
wore a=20
plain, blue, athletic-cut maillot, as no-nonsense as one of her old =
medical=20
textbooks, but damn if it didn't look good on her. Mulder saw it and =
felt=20
like swooning.
"Cockroaches," he said. "Think big=20
cockroaches."
Scully opened her eyes. Mulder's face loomed over =
her,=20
somehow managing to look both cute and dorky at the same =
time.
"Hey=20
Mulder. What did you say?"
"Oh.. um. I saw a cockroach in my =
room. Big=20
scary sonofabitch."
"Cockroaches? They get those in Florida? I =
bet it was=20
a Palmetto bug."
"Yeah. Whatever. I still don't want it in the =
bed.=20
Crawling all over my... my naked body."
Oooo, Too Much =
Information,=20
Mulder thought.
Scully's eyes narrowed almost=20
imperceptibly.
"Mulder, don't you think you're over-reacting? =
It's just a=20
bug."
"It was huge!"
Mulder dipped his toe in the clear, =
blue=20
water and wriggled it. "I'm going to have a talk with that kid." He =
gave=20
Scully a sideways glance. "Or would you rather do it?"
He =
grabbed an=20
inflated clear inner tube. Emblazoned on the side in bold cursive was =
the=20
word "SNAPPY" and it had a happily deranged cartoon turtle head at =
the end=20
that seemed to Mulder to be more scary than fun. He jumped in the =
pool with=20
it, creating a mini-wave that came up and drenched Scully, but=20
good.
"Aaaah! Mulder! That's cold!"
Mulder came up wearing =
a=20
toothy grin, looking very adolescent.
"Feels good though, don't=20
it?"
"And what do you mean 'would I rather do it?' Are you=20
insinuating something?"
"Oh come on, he was checking you out. =
He could=20
barely keep eye contact with you."
Scully jumped into the =
pool,=20
swimming to the other side. A large neon pink Styrofoam noodle =
floated by.=20
Scully suppressed the juvenile urge to pick it up and swing it =
straight into=20
Mulder's face.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Scully=20
lied.
"He stared at your breasts, for like, 30 =
seconds."
"Were you=20
timing it? Maybe he was just admiring my cross, Mulder. Did you ever =
think of=20
that?"
"Yeah, maybe he's pathologically religious. I keep my mind =
open to=20
some pretty extreme possibilities, but even I can't quite swallow =
that one.=20
He's a teenager. His hormones are raging, out of control. He probably =
can't=20
tie his shoes without thinking about sex. You remember what that was =
like,=20
don't you? So long ago... Your feminine urges wanting, no,=20
demanding satisfaction."
"I think you're remembering your own =
urges,=20
Mulder."
Mulder grinned sheepishly.
"Ok. Granted. But =
still, what=20
I wouldn't give to be that age again, Scully. Think of it... A life =
just=20
beginning, your sexual energy so potent it feels like you've just =
discovered=20
the true magic of the world, looking at a girl and not knowing how =
you could=20
possibly live without her---"
"Getting your first period and =
ruining your=20
favorite white jeans. Breasts so sore it hurts to breathe on=20
them. Body hair. Or what about hard-ons in the classroom, =
right=20
when the teacher calls on you. Oily skin. Your face breaking out. =
Emotions=20
out of control. Your voice sounding like a cartoon character right =
when you=20
talk to the girl of your dreams. Let's face it Mulder. You're =
romanticizing=20
your youth. The good old days aren't quite as rosy as you remember=20
them.
"What was that part about the breasts again?" Mulder=20
asked.
She ignored him and continued.
"I would never want =
to go=20
back to that. I don't understand this fascination with youth... from =
plastic=20
surgery to anti-aging creams.. to this! To you, Mulder...people =
who=20
wander around Florida looking for the Fountain of Youth, hoping to =
recapture=20
something that they never had in the first place, a mythical =
childhood that=20
exists only in their heads."
Mulder paused, like he was =
contemplating=20
Scully's words, then said, "You're such a glass-half-empty person,=20
Scully."
Scully, realizing that whatever she said was to be met =
with a=20
smarmy rejoinder, got out of the pool. Mulder's eyes followed her, =
and never=20
had Mulder so desperately wanted to be a drop of water in his life, =
rolling=20
down her body, hugging every one of Scully's curves. He closed his=20
eyes, imagining it. He noticed his Speedos were becoming =
uncomfortable, for=20
some reason. "Cockroaches," he murmured, and Little Mulder=20
retreated.
This type of internal erotic interlude that Mulder so =
often=20
indulged in was quite pleasant, but he knew if he didn't say =
something,=20
Scully would pick up on the lull in conversation and realize that =
something=20
was up. Literally...eagerly pushing to get out of his shorts. =
Thankfully,=20
Mulder had become quite accomplished in obfuscating his lechery. He =
could=20
have taught a class in it. Lechery 101. First lesson. The importance =
of=20
subtlety.
"So what you're saying, Scully, is that there isn't any =
age=20
you'd want to revisit? Nothing?"
Scully leaned forward on the =
metal=20
support bars that led down into the pool. And though she'd never =
admit it, it=20
was not all together unpleasant, standing there, wet and dripping in =
a=20
skintight swimsuit, towering over Mulder. Mulder usually looked down =
on her=20
and this rare opportunity to do the same made her feel something of a =
dominatrix.
She considered the question. Her mind functioned like =
a=20
library microfilm reader as it sped backwards in time, trying to =
recall happy=20
memories and wondering what it would be like to relive them again. As =
if she=20
could distill everything that she was and all that she had =
experienced into a=20
few select snapshots. It seemed cheap and a waste of =
time.
Still, her=20
mind stopped on one particularly pleasant memory. She was nine. And =
she had=20
taught her older brothers a lesson that they would never forget. It =
was,=20
Scully thought, a pretty nice age to be.
"Nine, Mulder. I'd like =
to be=20
age nine again." And started to walk off.
"Hey. Hey wait, Scully. =
You=20
don't get off that easily. Why age nine?"
Scully walked over to =
the=20
lounge chair to grab her towel. She felt a chill run through her body =
and=20
goose bumps appeared up and down her arms and legs. She felt weak and =
grabbed=20
the side of the chair.
"Scully? Are you ok?" Mulder began to rise =
out of=20
the pool.
"Feel.. feel...funny Mulder."
She felt dizzy and =
she saw=20
children's faces all around her. Girls and boys, their faces =
laughing. She=20
couldn't tell if the laughter was joyous, cruel, or a combination of =
both.=20
She was spinning and realized she was in the middle of a city park's=20
merry-go-round. She held tightly to the bars of the antique safety =
hazard,=20
but it was so hard to hold. She felt sick as the children--so many of =
them--=20
spun her around, faster and faster as they taunted "Dana, Dana, =
Dana." She=20
let go.
"Scully!"
Mulder saw Scully collapse face-first =
onto the=20
lounge chair and he grabbed the metal rails.
Suddenly climbing =
was=20
hard for him. He felt drugged and his hands could no longer hold onto =
the=20
rails. As he slipped, he heard laughing; some happy, some jeering. He =
splashed backwards into the water and sunk in slow motion. The world =
looked=20
different underneath the water, so relaxing and peaceful. He saw the =
clouds=20
way up in the sky floating overhead through the haze of the water, =
the=20
world's prettiest screen saver. So nice. He heard the children laugh =
and=20
tease, muffled through the water, "Fox can't swi-im, Fox can't =
swi-im." As he=20
drifted towards sleep he thought defiantly, "Can=20
too."
.........
I'm Rubber, You're Glue, rated R,=20
(2/?)
Scully's lips pressed hard against Mulder's, so forceful, =
so=20
not like Scully. He had waited how many years for this to =
happen? That was=20
the first thing that he noticed, anyway. But all his late-night =
dreams and=20
shower stall fantasies unequivocally did NOT include Scully pinching =
his nose=20
and blowing air into his lungs. His chest raised. Scully moved =
quickly, and=20
Mulder opened his eyes and then vomited water. No, that definitely =
was not=20
part of any fantasy. He sat up gasping, his lungs greedily taking =
in the=20
sweet magnolia-scented air. His chest burned and he looked up. =
Memories=20
flooded back. He had been drowning.
"Thank you for saving me =
Scu--" He=20
blinked. That wasn't Scully. Standing where Scully should have been =
was a=20
girl, eight, maybe nine years old. She had Scully's towel wrapped =
around her=20
tiny frame and she was shivering. She swept a dripping strand of =
hair from=20
her face and made a raspberry with her lips.
"What have you been =
eating?=20
Fried hamster brains?" She wrinkled up her face and rubbed the corner =
of the=20
towel on her tongue, to no avail.
The little girl looked at =
him and=20
snorted, pointing towards his crotch. She tried to speak and then =
snorted=20
twice. She doubled over laughing and within a few seconds all =
communication=20
was reduced to a series of guffaws and snorts.
"Heeheehee.. =
what...=20
what? Heeheehee.. SNuRKKKKK...Wearin' your daddy's shorts?=20
HawHawHaw!!!"
"What, what's so funny?" Mulder asked, finding =
himself=20
getting more and more pissed. He looked down and saw it. His Speedos=20
were about 3 sizes too big now and were hanging very loosely. =
He hesitated=20
and then tentatively reached down, oh so carefully, carefully and =
lifted his=20
shorts up. Little Mulder had gotten much, much littler. He gave out a =
tiny=20
girly scream, which made the little girl laugh that much=20
harder.
"Oh... my... God..." Mulder intoned as he raised his =
hands up=20
to his face. His fingers were smaller. His arms were smaller. =
His whole=20
body had shrunk in the wash. His head jerked up, scared =
and exhilarated at=20
the same time.
"I'm.. I'm a kid, again!" Mulder shouted. He stood =
up=20
holding onto his shorts for dear life.
"SNORT!! I'll say." The =
red-haired girl was finally laughed out. "Who are you kid and have =
you seen=20
my no-good partner?"
"You," he said noticing the little girl's =
cross.=20
"Scully. You're Scully. Look at yourself Scully, you're =
young!"
"Shut=20
up," she said rolling her eyes. "And how do you know my name =
little...=20
little.."
She leaned over the pool and gazed at the precocious =
nine=20
year old girl looking back at her. When she had jumped in the =
water, she=20
was so focused on saving this kid from drowning, she hadn't realized =
how big=20
her maillot had gotten, practically slipping off of her. If she =
hadn't=20
wrapped herself up in her towel... She looked at Mulder. She looked =
back into=20
the waters.
"I..I.. this can't be... I'm... =
I'm..."
"Believe it=20
Scully. We're young. You and me!" Mulder enthused.
"I'm... GOING =
TO KILL=20
YOU!!"
She jumped Mulder and pushed him to ground straddling him. =
Again, something Mulder had always fantasized about, but NEVER =
like this.=20
The fall knocked the wind out of him and she began to hit him in the =
face=20
over and over. He didn't realize tiny little knuckles could hurt so=20
bad.
"I hate you! I hate you!" she yelled between =
blows.
Mulder=20
finally regained his breath and pushed her off.
"Cut it out, =
Scully. I=20
don't want to have to hit you."
Scully laid there=20
seething.
"Ooo, I'm scared. I've used to having my hair pulled by =
TWO brothers Mulder, so why don't you just try it?"
Fatefully, =
a neon=20
pink noodle floated by. Mulder and Scully both eyed it and then eyed =
each=20
other. A moment of hesitation hung in the air and then they both =
grabbed for=20
it. Scully got to it first and jabbed his face with the end of=20
it.
"OWWW!" he cried. He looked at her sternly. "That=20
hurt!"
Scully pursed her lips and batted her eyes.
"AWWW, =
did the=20
little baby get hurt by the big bad girl with a big pink noodle?" =
Scully said=20
in an insulting sing-songy baby talk.
Mulder face got pouty. =
"That's=20
not fair. I only got one hand!" He raised his one free hand and waved =
it as=20
if she needed proof of his condition. His other hand tightly gripped =
his=20
Speedos to ensure that no one--- Swamp-Ape or otherwise-- got a peek =
at=20
his receding genitalia.
His situation didn't really seem to be =
engendering him much sympathy, he noted, because here she came again =
charging=20
him with her pink noodle. Mulder tried to run, but the damn lounge=20
chair was in the way. He wasted precious seconds moving around it, =
but by=20
then Scully had shortened the distance between them and =
began pummeling him=20
with an energy and single-mindedness that would have impressed=20
Krycek.
"OW! Stop it! Times! Time out!" he cried.
She =
continued to=20
hit him. Those pool noodles had always looked so soft =
before.
"WHY!=20
CAN'T! I! HAVE! A! NORMAL! LIFE!" she yelled between hits.
He =
tried to=20
wrestle the noodle away from her, but she was stronger than she =
looked. He=20
got a pretty good grip on it, but Scully did not want to let go of =
her=20
weapon. She pulled on it just as he let go and she fell backwards, on =
her=20
rear, with an audible thud. Her face winced in pain.
"Owwwww.=20
Geez."
Mulder staggered up, feeling woozy, but never letting go =
of=20
his Speedos.
"Truce?"
Scully just looked at him, not=20
answering.
"This..." Mulder breathed in, exhausted. "This ain't =
so bad...=20
we get a fresh start Scully."
"I was happy with my old start,=20
Mulder."
Scully got up, using her noodle for support, like a =
staff.=20
Mulder eyed her warily.
"Hey, look at it this way. This is =
better than=20
that time where we got really old!" Mulder raised his eyebrows and =
smiled.=20
"Eh, eh?" He nodded forcefully, hoping Scully agreed.
She did =
not. She=20
charged him one last time, ramming the noodle into him and knocking =
him off=20
balance. He stumbled backwards towards the pool. In a desperate =
gesture=20
he let go of his Speedos and twirled his arms comically in an effort =
to keep=20
balance. This was all the opportunity Scully needed. She grabbed a =
hold of=20
his Speedos and yanked them down, exposing Mulder's privates to =
the world.=20
He splashed down and within seconds his head popped up, beet=20
red.
"Hah-HA!" she laughed cruelly, twirling the Speedos around=20
one finger.
Mulder tilted his head and lowered his =
voice.
"Give=20
them back, Scully."
"What? I don't know what you're talking=20
about."
"I mean it Scully."
She looked at the Speedos =
hanging off=20
of her finger and looked surprised. She brought her other hand up to =
her=20
mouth, now "o" shaped in mock embarrassment. "Oh my," she said =
innocently.=20
"How did these get here? Are these.. are these Mulder's=20
panties?"
Mulder splashed the water in anger. He could not =
believe=20
that this was happening to him. He was an FBI agent. He had faced =
down the=20
most dangerous, vile, sickest of the sick, if not managing to do so =
with=20
total fearlessness, at the very least calm and professionalism. And =
now here=20
he was, 9 years old, naked in a pool, and all that seemed important =
was no=20
one seeing his pee- pee.
"They're NOT panties. They're =
Speedos. Now=20
come on Scully. Hand them to me. I need to get out of here before I =
turn into=20
a baby."
"Too late," she said and she held them over the edge of =
the=20
pool.
"Come and get em, cowboy."
Scully's eyes filled with =
a cruel=20
joy that only nine year olds can understand. She started to sing and =
made the=20
Speedos do a little dance. Mulder felt helpless as Scully moved the=20
Speedos mockingly from side to side in front of him.
Mulder knew better than to try =
and jump=20
up and grab them. Even if the distance was not so great, he knew that =
Scully=20
would always lift his Speedos out of his reach, just at the last =
second.=20
She was 9 again, and this was just too much fun. Even though he was =
a kid=20
again, he could still profile with the best of them.
He cursed =
himself=20
for not bringing a towel, but let's face it, he certainly did not =
envision=20
any of this. He scanned the pool for something to cover himself-- a=20
washcloth, perhaps-- anything. An inner tube nuzzled his back, almost =
affectionately.
"SNAPPY!" he yelled happily. He dove underneath =
his=20
floating friend and resurfaced right in the middle of the tube. He=20
sloshed his way toward the shallow end and climbed out. Mulder held=20
the inner tube directly over his privates. He stood there, =
certain that=20
the manufacturers of Snappy the Turtle pool toys could not have =
foreseen such=20
a usage. Maybe when this was all over he would write them a=20
letter.
Scully took one look at the joyously deranged plastic =
turtle=20
head protruding from Mulder's crotch and doubled over, her=20
laughing turning silent in its hysteria.
Mulder ran up to her =
and=20
grabbed his Speedos from the now defenseless Scully. He felt like =
pushing her=20
into the pool-- just retaliation for her past crimes. Her laughing =
sure=20
wasn't helping matters. It would be so easy...
He went to grab =
her and=20
then stopped. He looked up. The boy from the motel check-in counter =
was=20
outside the pool fence, hiding in the bushes, watching=20
everything.
"Scully," Mulder said. "Look over there." He nodded =
in the=20
boy's direction.
"What Mulder?" she said shaking off her =
giggles. She=20
saw the boy and her smile vanished. "You," she whispered.
The =
boy=20
realized he had been caught. He grinned, waved, and mouthed:=20
"Sorry."
"I'm gonna kill you, you little punk!" Scully =
yelled.
The=20
kid shrugged as if to say "shit happens" and he ran off back towards =
the=20
cabins.
Scully took off right after him. If you're not afraid of =
a=20
little girl, Mulder thought, well, you will be. He smiled, knowing=20
full well what it was like to be the target of such =
pint-sized contained=20
fury and how lucky he was not to be in the line of=20
fire anymore.
Mulder thoroughly checked his environs and =
checked them=20
again before gingerly pulling down Snappy, who had served him=20
well. Quickly, he pulled on the Speedos. Even 3 sizes too big he=20
was grateful for their coverage. Snappy was all right, but =
that plastic=20
had begun to chafe Lil' M.
"This is so 'Wonder Years,'" he said =
to the=20
mosquitoes.
With one hand holding his drooping Speedos, he headed =
for=20
the cabins looking for either his partner or that kid. He figured=20
if Scully had caught up to him, they would be easy to find. He =
would just=20
follow the trail of blood.
Not finding one, he headed for the =
main cabin.=20
No sign of Scully or the Jack Kerouac fan. No screaming either, so =
Scully=20
wasn't beating the crap out of him yet. He entered the foyer, =
now deserted=20
and perfectly still except for a faint clicking sound that the =
ceiling fan=20
would make upon each leisurely revolution. It was creepy for some =
reason that=20
Mulder couldn't fathom. It felt preternaturally still, like a scene =
from a=20
Kubrick movie. He glanced around nervously.
"Scully?" he =
yelled.=20
"Where are you?"
He took a second to look at a picture stuck on =
the wall=20
with a thumbtack. It was a black and white photo of the motel clerk=20
and another kid. They were standing on a dock, grinning =
proudly, holding a=20
huge fish. Two happy kids without a care in the world. No wonder =
we're=20
obsessed with our youth he thought.
He went behind the counter =
and began=20
to rummage through the drawers, unsure of what he was looking for. He =
opened=20
one and amidst the junk he found two treasures. One was a pen with=20
a swimsuit cutie on it and when Mulder turned it upside down, =
her swimsuit=20
slid off, easy as pie, fulfilling the common shared fantasy of the =
male=20
species, nine year old or otherwise. He laughed like the kid he was =
and=20
repeated the maneuver at least 6 more times. If only he had such a =
pen=20
earlier! The other treasure while inducing no salaciousness, =
proved=20
much more essential. It was a box of safety=20
pins.
"Bingo."
........
Scully staggered in, out of =
breath=20
just as Mulder had finished putting the finishing touches on his =
Speedos. He=20
had reigned in the excess material and tightened it off with a safety =
pin.=20
The material now fit snug and Mulder, once again, finally had =
the benefit=20
of having both hands free.
Scully bent forwards, her hands on her =
knees,=20
breathing hard.
"Huh..huh..whew! Little creep lost me. Ran out =
into the=20
swamp. I didn't want to get lost out there now that it's getting dark =
so=20
I headed back. Thanks for the help, by the way. Say, you=20
look different..."
Mulder smiled and pointed to his=20
crotch.
"Tah-dah!" he said proudly.
She walked up to him,=20
examining it, grinning. Scully grabbed the front of his Speedos and =
snapped=20
them, playfully.
"That's just so cute I can't believe it!" she=20
cooed.
Mulder went to slap her hand away, but Scully had=20
already retreated. He blushed angrily.
"Just stop it!" he=20
yelled.
"Stop what?" she asked.
"Just keep your hands off =
my=20
pants."
"Gladly, Mulder. Don't you worry."
"You... you =
just want=20
to grab it."
Scully didn't know where he was going with this and=20
frankly, neither did Mulder.
"Excuse me?" she said in=20
disbelief.
"My wiener. My penis. You're obsessed with it." His=20
voice lowered, pointedly so as if he was trying to channel Barry=20
White. "You want to touch it."
"I do not!" Scully responded =
with=20
outrage.
"Do too," Mulder said triumphantly. Anything that pissed =
Scully off this much had to be pretty close the mark.
"Do. =
Not," she=20
said in threatening tones, even though in the back of her mind she =
knew that=20
Mulder never missed a chance to cross a line.
"Oh yeah! Agent =
Scully=20
of the FBI, wants to touch my penis!"
Mulder began to gyrate his =
pelvis,=20
with his hands behind his head. He had a mock "sexy" look on his =
face, which=20
in truth, was closer to constipation. As all nine year olds can do,=20
he improvised a little song, right there on the spot. The tune =
was Kool=20
and the Gang's "Shake Your Booty," but the words were all Fox=20
Mulder:
"Touch, touch, touch.. Touch, touch, touch Touch my =
pe-nis!=20
Touch my pe-nis!"
"Oh, that's soo funny, Mulder. See how I'm =
laughing.=20
I'm really laughing."
Scully made an honest attempt at =
justified=20
anger, but the image of Mulder, shaking his groove thing was just too =
much,=20
and she ended up laughing anyways. Mulder smiled great big,=20
cracking himself up, but also genuinely happy to make her laugh.=20
He started laughing too and pretty soon, they both were literally =
on the=20
floor, busting a gut with tears streaming down their=20
faces.
........
Knock, knock. Mulder opened his cabin =
door.=20
Scully, with an armful of clothes, walked in. She was wearing an =
oversized=20
red t- shirt that had a "You've Come A Long Way, Baby" iron-on =
across the=20
chest area. The shirt almost went down to her knees. Underneath, she =
had a=20
pair of black cutoffs. They too were way too big. She felt like a=20
clown.
"I found these in a dryer in the main office. They're all=20
too big, but under the circumstances, I think we made out =
pretty good.And=20
look!"
She held up a couple of mismatched pairs of cheap thong=20
sandals.
"Flip-flops!" she said excitedly. "Now hand me the =
safety=20
pins."
"Oh sure. You get the "You've Come A Long Way, Baby"=20
T-shirt."
Mulder threw her the safety pin box. She caught it in=20
mid-air, right before it would've landed in a big ol' pile of=20
sunflower seed shells. She looked at the small mountain of them on=20
the nightstand.
"Did you save some for me, Mulder? I'm=20
starved."
"Lucky for you I got the economy sized bag."
He =
dug=20
through the clothes, looking for something without frills. He found a =
T-shirt, too big for him, yes, but it wouldn't look too bad. It was =
white,=20
with what looked like cigarette stains on the sleeves. The front was =
a=20
weathered logo for the Miami Heat. He put it on.
"So, do I =
blend in?"=20
he asked sarcastically.
"About as much as I do," she reflected, =
with a=20
hint of sadness.
"Mulder, how are we..." She paused, not wanting =
to=20
vocalize her fears. It seemed to only legitimize them, giving them =
shape=20
and form. "How are we going to get back.. to how we were?"
For =
a few=20
seconds Mulder stared at his sunflower seed mountain. It was hard to =
look=20
Scully in the face. Finally his eyes met hers.
"I don't know. =
I don't=20
know. We need to find that kid. He obviously knows about the Fountain =
of=20
Youth. I'm positive that he's used it himself too. He could be over a =
hundred=20
years old for all we know."
Scully sat down on the bed. She =
had=20
survived so much in her years on the x-files. Surely this was just =
one more=20
supernatural jam that they would eventually get out of. But what if =
they=20
didn't? She pushed the thought away, filing it away in her special=20
mental folder where she put all the things she'd rather not deal=20
with.
"You're right Mulder. The kid is the key. He might know a =
way=20
to make us the right age again. But how are we going to find him?=20
He probably knows these swamps better than anyone. And there's =
only two of=20
us... We could be here forever."
"Well, we do seem to have all =
the time=20
in the world, don't we Scully? Here."
He offered her the bag =
of=20
sunflower seeds and she dug her hand in and pulled out a =
fistful.
"Oh,=20
thank you Mulder," she said gratefully and put several seeds in her =
mouth.=20
Despite a voracious hunger, she held the seeds between her teeth, =
cracked=20
them carefully, and pushed out the nutty manna with her tongue, =
before=20
consuming. She held her hand up and spit the shells into her=20
mouth.
Mulder was in awe.
"Wow. I had no idea you could do =
that.=20
How many seeds was that?"
"mmmph-Five," she said while trying to=20
eat.
"Scully, that is so cool."
"Thanks, Mulder," she said =
and=20
popped some more into her mouth.
Suddenly, Mulder's Nokia rang. =
The two=20
kids looked at each other, dumbfounded as to what to =
do.
"Answer it,=20
Mulder!"
"But, I'm not Mulder anymore... I mean, I'm not the=20
adult Mulder... I mean, when I answer--"
"Just answer=20
it!"
Mulder ran to the dresser and picked up his old clothes =
which=20
had been thrown on top of the cellphone. He threw his pants and=20
shirt aside, grabbed the phone and hit Talk. Assistant Director=20
Walter Skinner was on the line, talking in his unique gruff, but=20
simple cadence. Skinner's voice never failed to give the impression=20
that while he had to talk to you, there were about a million =
other things=20
he'd rather be doing.
"Agent Mulder. Skinner. I was going over =
this=20
"report" that you turned in and I had a few questions. Actually, I =
have a lot=20
of questions, Mulder-- Mulder?"
Mulder's voice cracked and he =
sounded=20
quite girlish.
"Uh, sir... We've had a bit of a =
problem--"
"Oh,=20
I'm sorry ma'am. I must have dialed the wrong number."
CLICK. =
With that,=20
Mulder was left with a dial tone.
"It was Skinner. He hung up on =
me." He=20
held the phone up to Scully, as if she needed proof.
"Call him =
back,=20
Mulder! He could help us! Surely you could convince him."
"I =
don't=20
know Scully. He thought I was a girl."
"So lower your voice." =
Scully=20
lowered hers. "Like this."
"You sound like you're on drugs,=20
Scully."
"Just try it!"
"Ok, ok." Mulder turned on his =
phone and=20
hit the speed dial to Skinner. The assistant director answered in =
three=20
rings.
"Skinner."
"Sir, this is=20
Mulder."
"Who?"
Scully frantically waved at him. "Lower" =
she=20
whispered gruffly, pointing downwards. Ah, Scully-- the world's worst =
charades player.
"Mulder. Fox Mulder," he said, trying to =
sound like=20
an adult, but coming much closer to sounding like the monster of=20
Frankenstein.
"Mulder? The number comes up as being Mulder. But =
you=20
aren't Mulder, kid. Did you steal his phone? Do you know the penalty=20
for impersonating a federal agent?"
"But sir, " he said, his =
voice=20
veering more into Rocky Balboa territory.
"Do you think you're =
funny?=20
Using funny voices? If anything has happened to Mulder, I will =
personally=20
make sure that the next funny voice you do will be coming directly =
out of=20
your ass. Do you got me?"
Mulder started laughing. This =
phone=20
call was begriming to resemble a car wreck.
"Out of my ass?" =
Rocky=20
said.
Scully grabbed the phone in a vain attempt to keep the car=20
from going all the way over the cliff. Mulder kept close, trying =
to listen=20
in.
"Sir, listen to me. This is Agent Dana Scully. My badge=20
number is-- oh crap-- the one time I forget my badge =
number!"
"Save=20
it," Skinner said. "You two are in big trouble." And with that, he =
hung up on=20
them.
Mulder and Scully looked at each other. A silence hung low =
in=20
the air before giving birth to uproarious laughter.
"Ohhhhh, =
we're in=20
it deep, Scully!"
"You two are in big trouble," Scully said, =
doing a lame=20
Skinner impersonation.
For about five minutes they acted like =
loons,=20
trading goofy Skinnerisms and giggling. Finally, worn out, =
emotionally=20
and physically, Scully knew it was time to leave.
"I can't =
even think=20
straight Mulder. I'm going to bed. You do the same. We'll find that =
little=20
shit in the morning."
She opened the cabin door. Mulder =
held up the=20
bag of sunflower seeds, bashfully.
"You can take them if you=20
want."
Scully smiled, embarrassed. She was touched by the =
sweetness=20
of the gesture and realized that this was akin to Mulder asking =
her out to=20
the prom.
"No... you keep them," she said. "Just save me a few=20
for breakfast."
As she started to walk out the door, Mulder =
got=20
up.
"Scully?"
She turned around. Scully was so tiny now, a =
cute=20
little girl. Not fully understanding why, Mulder longed for the way=20
things used to be.
"Yes, Mulder?"
"For what it's worth. =
I'm=20
sorry. I never thought things would turn out this way."
"I =
know=20
Mulder." She paused. "I know. See you in the morning."
Mulder =
didn't want=20
to be left alone, but beyond feeble sunflower seed offerings, he had =
no clue=20
as how to say it. So, Mulder, as he had done so many times in the =
past, let=20
her go without saying anything else. Even in youth, the ritual stayed =
the=20
same. She left, he did nothing. It was comfortable and painful at the =
same time, but it was what they knew and they stuck with =
it.
He pushed=20
the pile of clothes off the bed and for a fleeting moment wondered =
who they=20
belonged to. Unsuspecting tourists, perhaps, de-aged to the point =
where=20
friends, co-workers and loved ones no longer recognized them? Where =
were they=20
now? Struggling to fit into a world that was no longer theirs, caught =
up in=20
an ironic nostalgia for the times when they were old?
Mulder =
lay on=20
the bed, desperately wanting a beer, knowing full well that it would =
be a=20
good 12 years before anyone would legally serve him one. He felt so =
tired,=20
almost deliriously so. He relaxed and felt the sleep overtaking him, =
a=20
comfortable warm blanket covering him, and absorbing all of his =
troubles=20
and fears.
................
THWAK! Something hit the =
window and=20
it vibrated, waking Mulder from a very deep sleep. He rubbed his eyes =
and=20
looked outside, the only light was the reflection from a full moon. =
He got up=20
and shuffled to the window. THWAK! A shadow crashed into the =
window and=20
then fell. Then nothing. He opened the window and stuck his head=20
out.
"Hello?" he yelled.
Out of nowhere it came. It flew =
towards=20
him and smacked straight into his face and then fell to the ground,=20
stunned.
It was a big brown bat, with large ears. It let out=20
a eee,eee,eee, sound, obviously as upset to run into Mulder's =
face as=20
Mulder was to have it smack him. It collected its bearings and flew=20
off.
"I know you guys are supposed to be blind, but this=20
is ridiculous."
Another one swooped down from a tree, =
focusing, Mulder=20
thought correctly, right on his head. He shut the window just in time =
and the bat careened right into it. It clung to the pane, =
comically, for a=20
few seconds, and then slid to the ground.
"Am I covered in bat =
pheromones=20
or what?" Mulder asked. "How am I supposed to sleep?"
He =
turned away=20
before another one THWAKed. He looked back and he saw a shadow-- a =
man--=20
leaning on a tree. He was smoking a cigarette. He could almost make =
out=20
the faint glow of the burning ashes. Mulder opened the window=20
again.
"Hey! You!"
The figure just stood there, offering =
no reply.=20
The glow of the ashes moved as he brought the cigarette up to his =
mouth and=20
then back down again.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Mulder =
stepped=20
into the flip-flops and climbed out the window. He ran toward the =
person in=20
the shadows. The shadow man stood his ground, unafraid of Mulder's =
advance.=20
After all, a nine year old boy in flip-flops was not the most =
menacing of=20
figures. Then, just as Mulder was within ten feet of him, the shadow=20
vanished.
Mulder looked around, trying to determine where he had =
went=20
to. Twenty feet away, up a small hill, the shadow was leaning =
against a=20
tree, waiting.
"Who the hell are you?" Mulder shouted. The shadow =
was=20
content to ignore him.
Mulder took a deep breath and ran as =
quick as=20
he could- flap,flap,flap-- towards the shadow. He was not, Mulder=20
vowed, going to get away this time. He was almost to him when he=20
tripped on a vine. Instantly, he pulled himself up, the taste of =
earth=20
in his mouth. The shadow was gone.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"he =
yelled. A bat=20
hanging from a tree tilted it's head at Mulder, surely the oddest =
two-legged=20
creature it had ever seen.
He caught his breath and walked the =
rest of=20
the way up the hill. He looked around, hoping to see the mystery man. =
Nothing. Mulder turned back, defeated.
"For the love of God! =
OVER=20
HERE!," a female voice boomed in a thick, over the top Jamaican =
accent.=20
"Jesus H. Christ!"
Mulder turned in the direction of the voice. =
He saw=20
the shadow man, now certainly a woman, motioning his way.
"I =
try to be=20
mysterious and all, " she intoned. "But you are the most thick-headed =
child=20
I've ever seen. Slow too."
"Who are you?" Mulder asked as he =
cautiously=20
moved closer. The moon shone just enough to give him a partial view =
of her.=20
She was African-American, wearing a flowing orange dress decorated=20
with moons and stars. She wore a matching orange turban and at least=20
5 different wooden necklaces. She was a big woman and had a =
pretty face,=20
full of life.
"People know me as Mistress Ambrosia. Please, =
follow me to=20
my home."
Mulder was dubious, but he could not resist =
something=20
so intriguing. Staying here was just not an option.
"Are you =
Jamaican,=20
Ambrosia?"
"Mistress Ambrosia," she corrected. "And what do you =
think,=20
mon?"
He smiled nervously. She led him down a path through the=20
trees and brushes that would have been hard to find in the daytime,=20
let alone in the middle of the night. Finally, she reached a =
lone shack,=20
covered in moss. Hanging on the eves were dozens of bats.
"Well, =
here we=20
are Agent Mulder."
Mulder gave her a dumb look.
"How do =
you know=20
who I am?"
"Let me tell you, Fox. I been in this swamp a long =
time.=20
Every ting, from da bat to da toad tell me their secrets. Nothing=20
gets past me. Plus I looked through your tings when you were in=20
the pool."
She unlocked the door and pushed it open. Mistress =
Ambrosia=20
led him inside and turned on a lamp. There were beautiful =
paintings on the=20
walls, bright colors highlighting a myriad of African animals. Masks, =
statues, and candles lined the mantle of the fireplace. Various bat =
talismans=20
littered the room. To a young Mulder it looked cool and scary at the =
same=20
time.
Mistress Ambrosia motioned to an afghan covered sofa.=20
Something furry jumped off the sofa and scurried off. Mulder didn't=20
know what it was and tried not to think about it.
"Please, =
have a=20
seat. I will make you a cup of tea."
"Thank you. You look very =
familiar=20
to me. Have I met you somewhere?"
"Maybe you dreamed about =
me," she=20
said enigmatically.
Mulder noticed a big stuffed bat hanging on =
the wall.=20
He reached up to touch it, then thought better of it and sat=20
down.
"What's with the bats? If you don't mind me =
asking."
She=20
walked back in with two bottles, handed him one and then eased into =
the=20
rocking chair opposite from him.
"I'm all out of tea. Tab=20
ok?"
Mulder nodded and took one, his dry throat grateful for=20
the bitter syrupy concoction.
"As for my little pets... =
they're my=20
friends, Fox."
"Yeah, well, your 'friends' seemed pretty =
interested in=20
crashing into my window earlier."
She smiled warmly. "I was =
just=20
trying to get your attention."
"You couldn't knock?"
She=20
hesitated. Was there a hint of embarrassment?
"Well, you see Fox, =
I'm=20
trying to teach my friends tricks. I want them to learn to carry =
tings to and=20
fro, like carrier bats."
"Carrier bats?" he said, disbelieving, =
taking a=20
swig of Tab and almost spitting it all over Mistress=20
Ambrosia.
"Mmm-hmm. They seem to have a problem with the windows, =
now=20
don't they? Hah-hah-hah!!"
"If they're your friends, then why =
do you=20
have a stuffed one on your wall?"
Mulder pointed to the huge =
carcass=20
hanging over the fireplace.
Mistress Ambrosia laughed, snorting =
Tab up=20
her nose. She wiped it away good-naturedly.
"Hah-hah! That's =
Luther.=20
And he's not dead! He's sleeping in, the rascal."
Mulder =
looked up and=20
shuddered involuntarily.
"I'd wake him, Fox, but he's been kinda =
cranky=20
lately. I'm sure you'd much rather hear about the Fountain than play =
with=20
my little friends."
Mulder swallowed. She had his attention=20
now.
"You know about that?"
"Oh, my yes, I do. It happens =
at least=20
once a year. Hal just thinks it's a riot to let people into the pool, =
unaware=20
of its magical properties."
"So that kid is Hal? I knew it!" =
Mulder=20
beamed.
"Oh yes, the little stinker. He got me in there one time. =
Madly in love with me he is."
She stared at nothing in =
particular,=20
recalling something in her head, that seemed to Mulder to be a =
mixture of=20
fondness with annoyance. Her index finger absent-mindedly tapped the =
top of=20
the Tab bottle.
Mulder looked at her in shock. Mistress =
Ambrosia took=20
a sip of her Tab, savoring both the soft drink and Mulder's=20
confusion.
"But...how did you.. I mean you're..um.."
"Old? =
Pfft.=20
I'm only 48 you know. But I know what you're gettin' at. I'm not some =
teenager."
"Didn't you like being young?"
"No, no. I done =
it once=20
already. That's enough for me. Mistress Ambrosia knows her place in =
the=20
world. People got it all backwards. They focus on the flesh, when =
it's the=20
spirit that needs tending."
"So there must be a 'cure', right? =
How=20
does this Fountain work?"
"Whoa, slow down! There is a 'cure', in =
a=20
manner of speaking. It's not pleasant, by any means, but it worked =
for me. As=20
for the fountain, I thought it was obvious how it =
worked..."
Mulder=20
lifted his eyebrows, the universal symbol for, "go on..."
"It's =
magic, ya=20
idiot. You could probably figger out a scientific explanation, but it =
all=20
boils down to magic."
"I know somebody who might argue that with=20
you."
"Well, I do know this. You will sweat some of that magical=20
water out of you. It takes about, oh, 12 hours or so. So expect to=20
hit puberty in a few hours."
Mulder stood up. Did he just hear =
her=20
right?
"You're kidding."
"Mistress Ambrosia does not kid. =
Well,=20
most of the time, anyways. But I do not kid about the Fountain. The =
rest of=20
the magic binds itself to your body, keeping you young."
"So =
I'll be=20
stuck a horny teenager." His mind wondered what a teenage Scully =
would look=20
like.
"Fraid so, Fox. Unless I help you. There is a way and like =
I=20
said before it's not pleasant. It took me a year to figger out =
the cure. A=20
virus."
"A virus," Mulder repeated.
"Yes, a virus. Very =
deadly. I=20
keep a strain of it in a vial, just in case Hal ever tricks me. It =
makes you=20
really, really sick and the fever burns the magic water out of you =
and you=20
return to your normal age."
"buuuut..."
"The virus =
could kill=20
you. It's very strong."
"So what did you do?"
Mistress =
Ambrosia=20
put down her cup and got up. She walked over to the kitchen table and =
pulled=20
something out of a bowl. She walked back to Mulder and showed =
him.
"A=20
root?" he said.
"There's more than a few variants of this =
partic'lar=20
root. Some call em Love Roots, some osha. This one comes from a plant =
I've only seen growing once, in my back yard. You grind this up, =
with a=20
little of this and that, and it cleans you right up from that nasty=20
virus."
"buuuuut..."
"I wish you'd stop sayin' =
that."
She=20
put the root back in the bowl, sat down and began to rock.
"Well, =
you=20
see, Fox, this is enough to cure one but not two. This is my last=20
one."
"And you can't get any more?"
"Well, I do know =
someone who=20
has one, but good luck gettin' it."
"Who?"
"Hal. The=20
stinker."
"This is incredible. Faced with a problem that science =
would=20
be hard-pressed to solve, you're able to call upon your beliefs =
in nature=20
and mysticism to concoct a potion. Magic fights magic."
Mistress =
Ambrosia=20
waved her hand in dismissal.
"You do like to talk, don't you? =
Actually, I=20
got the recipe from a homeopathic bulletin board on the Internet. I =
like your=20
telling better tho'. I may have to use that. Magic fights magic. =
That's=20
a good one."
Mulder tried to look casual as he scanned the =
room for=20
signs of a computer. Nothing. Not even a Yahoo magazine lying=20
around.
Mistress Ambrosia grabbed his empty and dropped it and =
hers=20
into a bucket. They clinked loudly, joining the swelling ranks =
of empty=20
Tab bottles.
"You best be going. I gotta go to work and you need =
your=20
sleep. I'll make you a potion, but you need to get that other=20
root."
"I will. I'll find Hal and give him over to Scully. =
A=20
few minutes with her and a Styrofoam pool noodle and I imagine =
he'll give=20
up that root pretty quick."
He started to leave and then=20
stopped.
"What kind of work do you do?" he asked.
She =
smiled, as=20
if she had a big secret.
"Aw Fox, I thought it was obvious. I =
help=20
people."
Silence. Mulder waited politely for some elaboration on =
this,=20
but it never came.
"Ok," he said finally. "I can't thank you=20
enough."
"Save your thanks till I've actually done something. Get =
me=20
the root, Fox."
Mulder nodded, opened the door, and=20
left.
Mistress Ambrosia stood there counting.
"One...=20
two...tree..."
The door opened and Mulder popped his head back=20
in.
I have a raging hard-on, a half-awake Mulder thought. =
Not=20
just mildly erect or partially pliant, but a rock hard, "I could =
break=20
bathroom tile", full-tilt, I need lovin' petrified woody.
He =
reached=20
down and gripped it, not to pleasure himself, but to check the size =
of his=20
equipment.
He had just awakened from a wonderful sleep, one of =
his most=20
pleasant ever, right up there in his top five. Mulder lay there and =
was=20
vaguely cognizant of the dream leaving his consciousness, like =
a=20
hedonistic carnival, taking down the tents and breaking down the =
rides to put=20
into storage until his next dream. He tried to recall the dream. It =
was hazy.=20
He had orange hair and people called him Archie. Scully was Betty and =
Diana=20
Fowley was Veronica. They were both fighting, quite spectacularly =
Mulder=20
remembered-- hair pulling, claws scratching, nothing was spared-- =
over who=20
had the honor of giving him a blow job. "Ladies," he said =
good-naturedly,=20
"there's enough of me to go around." Just then Krycek--er Reggie?, =
showed up.=20
It faded from that point.
Mulder's eyes opened. "Holy shit!" =
He jumped=20
out of bed and stood in front of the mirror, penis still standing =
straight as=20
a diving board. The nine year old kid was gone, replaced with the=20
still-developing frame of a 15 year old. His face, though =
spectacularly=20
devoid of worry lines and sporting a couple of questionable blemishes =
in=20
their stead, was his again.
"I'm a teenager," he exclaimed. "And =
I've got=20
a penis!" He held it tightly as if might disappear at any second and =
watched=20
himself in the mirror. "Look out ladies!"he said in a mock sexy =
voice. =20
He put his hands in front of him, gripped the body of an imaginary =
Scully and=20
began to thrust comically.
Knock! Knock! The door shook, =
interrupting=20
Mulder's private time.
"Mulder, it's me! Open up!," Scully =
shouted. Her=20
voice was no longer the chirpy cuteness of a nine year old. And while =
it also=20
was not the sultry alto of an adult Scully, it was low and rich =
enough to let=20
Mulder know that she had grown.
"Gaaahh!" Mulder responded =
frantically=20
as if Scully had just caught him imaginary-fucking her. He pulled out =
some=20
underwear from his duffel bag, still too big, but better than=20
nothing.
"Mulder, I have to see you. You won't believe this. I'm =
older,=20
Mulder!"
Just a minute, I'm playing with myself, thinking of you, =
he=20
thought while instead vocalizing: "Just a sec, Scully. I'm brushing =
my=20
teeth."
Uhhh. That sounded lame.
Silence. "Why can't I =
come in=20
while you're brushing your teeth, Mulder?"
"Um, I'm feeling ... =
ashamed?"=20
His lies were so bad he winced. And why did it sound as if he had =
just sucked=20
helium?
Mulder found a pair of pants in the clothes pile and put =
them on.=20
Yes! He had found a nice denim pair, Wranglers. They too were a =
little large=20
on him, but still fit him much nicer than anything else. They =
hung low=20
on his hips, giving him the feeling they were about to slide to the=20
floor.
"Ashamed?"
"Yes, ashamed. My teeth. I didn't brush =
them=20
yesterday. The plaque is horrible, Scully. I... I didn't want you to=20
know."
Mulder sounded as if he might start crying at any minute. =
He=20
pulled on a T-shirt that proclaimed he was "Property of Starfleet=20
Academy."
"Oh yeah," he said. "Lookin' good."
He ran his =
fingers=20
through his hair, adjusted his still hard penis so it wouldn't show =
so much,=20
and then opened the door. He saw her. An electric current =
traveled=20
through his cock.
"Mulder, my god, look at you!" Scully smiled. =
She=20
appeared amused (delighted?) as she circled Mulder, checking him out =
as if he=20
were a prize cow at the county fair.
"So this is what you =
looked like=20
when you were 16, Mulder. This is so weird."
Mulder remained =
perfectly=20
still. Maybe she wouldn't notice his hardened state.
"Mulder, =
can you=20
speak? Mulder, hell-looo!"
Scully stood before him, no =
longer a=20
little girl, but a teenager, probably about sixteen. She was wearing =
her=20
white tank, and while it looked good before, it had been partially =
covered=20
with a vest. Nothing obstructed his view now. And oh, what a view. =
The tank=20
hung a little loose, making the neckline fall a bit lower than =
usual. =20
He felt sinful, his eyes taking her in. If thine eye offends thee... =
Mulder=20
wouldn't have lasted too long in Old Testament times.
The gold =
cross=20
caught the sunlight and glinted as if to say: Down here, Mulder. His =
eyes=20
followed it obligingly. The loose neckline offered criminally =
tantalizing=20
glimpses of roundly swelling breast, and her semi-hardened nipples =
pushed on=20
the cloth, teasingly. Fuck me. Scully wasn't wearing a bra.
To =
cap it=20
off she also wore the same black denim shorts that she had worn =
as preteen=20
Scully, but now they fit perfectly...maybe even a bit tight.=20
They complimented her hips, curving along the lines of her=20
still-developing frame. It was almost too much.
The voice of =
reason=20
inside his head spoke, so faint, so far away. "Say something, moron!" =
But how=20
could you speak when you had forgotten how to breathe? Forming a =
simple=20
sentence became an impossibly complex task. The synapses fired =
weakly, like=20
an engine that wouldn't turn over.
"Scully... I was..."
He =
pointed=20
at his room while explaining.
"And then I..."
He was =
making no=20
sense. And why should he? All that mattered stood before him. His =
eyes=20
betrayed him as they traveled back to Scully's chest. He wanted to =
rip that=20
tank off of her so bad. He sighed. Now he knew what a typical day for =
Bill=20
Clinton was like.
"Well, you see, Scully.. I was..."
It =
dawned on=20
her what was going on. Mulder was checking her out. Her face flushed. =
She=20
felt simultaneously flattered and pissed off. Did he have to be so =
obvious?=20
She resisted the urge to cup the objects of obsession and thrust them =
in his=20
face threateningly. That would give him something to look at. She =
confronted=20
him with a little less fanfare.
"They're called breasts, Mulder! =
You've=20
seen me with them before!"
Mulder's face suddenly appeared=20
sunburned.
"No, I was, uh, admiring your cross, =
Scully!"
"Right,=20
Mulder. You're.. what did you say... pathologically religious. =
For your=20
information, my teenage breasts are smaller and my bra wouldn't fit. =
I wasn't=20
putting on a little show for you."
Scully's inner voice =
disagreed. Yes=20
you were! You could have put on the vest, you could have worn =
something=20
else, but no! You couldn't wait to show off this body to an=20
appreciative teenage Mulder! Scully hated her inner voice, but at =
this point=20
it was hard to argue. She shifted as her oversensitized nipples =
brushed=20
the cloth and stiffened further.
Mulder opened his mouth to issue =
another=20
lame excuse, thought better of it, and shut it. Being male though, he =
went=20
right ahead and opened it again. Self-preservation was not his strong =
suit.
"I'm sorry Scully, it's just that..."
"What, Mulder? =
What?"
"It's just that you're so... pert." Mulder couldn't =
believe those=20
words just came out of his mouth. Did being a teenager mean you had =
to say=20
whatever stupid thing popped into your head? It was beginning to look =
that=20
way.
Scully rolled her eyes and pushed her way into Mulder's=20
cabin.
"Oh, brother," Scully said. She turned and shot him a =
look. "Act=20
your age, Mulder."
Mulder opened his mouth and Scully cut him=20
off.
"You *know* what I mean."
She was just about to let =
the whole=20
thing drop and move on when she noticed how lumpy Mulder's jeans =
looked. In=20
fact, it was pretty near impossible to miss the way his crotch was =
bulging,=20
something inside obviously wanting out. An answering something inside =
her=20
tingled.
"You're pretty pert yourself, Mulder." She tried not to =
smile=20
and looked away quickly.
Mulder's face, renowned for it's=20
impassiveness, looked incredibly, unmistakably guilty. Oh shit. =
Busted.=20
Quick, come up with something! And you! Down! Down, =
boy!
"These pants=20
aren't the right size?" he said meekly.
"Are you asking me? You =
want me=20
to check the label?"
"Could you?," he said, knowing she was =
joking, but=20
still praying that somehow, someway that she was not.
Instead =
of=20
answering, she let the question hang. She let herself plop onto the =
edge of=20
the bed, mattress jiggling. Her breasts responded in kind and Mulder =
made a=20
mental note to find out what brand of mattress that was and to never =
buy=20
another brand of mattress, ever, ever again.
"I'm starving, =
Mulder. Feed=20
me."
Mulder cocked his head. She's... she's teasing me. She's =
flirted=20
with me before, but this is full throttle teasing. I... I have no=20
defense!
He brought her the bag of sunflower seeds and sat down =
beside=20
her. It was a wonderful thing just to be next to her and he felt =
lucky. She=20
grabbed some and ate them, repeating the same method that she had =
used when=20
she was a nine year old. It looked quite different now. Only Scully =
could=20
make eating sunflower seeds erotic. She held them between her teeth,=20
delicately, careful not to bite down too hard. She pushed down with =
her teeth=20
and the seeds, opened, willingly, offering the meat inside. Her =
tongue coaxed=20
it out and she feasted.
She looked around for a place to put =
the=20
shells. Mulder held his hand out. She took it and guided it to her =
face.=20
Scully pushed the shells out gingerly with her tongue onto Mulder's =
cupped=20
hand. Her tongue ran lightly up his finger with the first shell. A =
twinge of=20
pleasure ran through him, an expressway straight to his cock. As she =
did it=20
again, it took all the will power he could muster to keep himself =
from=20
shuddering. Did she know what she was doing to him? He pulled his =
hands away=20
and threw the shells on the floor. They looked at one another and =
Mulder held=20
up the bag.
"More?"
She said nothing, but nodded. He =
pulled some=20
seeds out and reached out, his fingers holding a seed to her mouth. =
She=20
looked at him, her eyes darker somehow. Her lips were parted, =
inviting him.=20
His finger entered her mouth slowly and he felt her tongue twirl =
around it=20
and take the seed. Concurrently, his dick swelled and he had to close =
his=20
eyes. Yes, she knew exactly what she was doing to him. No pretense =
now. No=20
FBI. No emotional baggage. Just two teenagers, unsupervised, in a=20
cabin.
She grabbed his hand, his index finger still inserted in =
her=20
mouth. Scully closed her eyes and pushed it further into her mouth, =
sucking=20
it, her tongue making skillful circles around it.
Mulder =
opened his=20
eyes, in ecstasy. He couldn't remember ever being this aroused. Sure, =
for=20
years, he learned the art of self-pleasure with videos, toys, and =
magazines.=20
But he would gladly trade all of the joyless fucking captured in =
those movies=20
for one finger-sucking from Scully.
With his other hand he =
grabbed=20
Scully's waist and pulled her closer. He felt the half-inch sliver of =
skin=20
between tank-top and shorts, and his body jolted once again with the=20
excitement of flesh meeting flesh. His hand instinctually slid in and =
up her=20
tank. This dream I'm having, Mulder thought. May it never =
end.
She=20
looked up at him and released his finger. They said nothing. Seven =
years of=20
banter and the vaguest of innuendos had built up. There was nothing =
more to=20
allude to. There were no more jokes to make. There was nothing else =
to say.=20
All that was left was to *do*.
He lowered his head and she raised =
hers to=20
meet him. Their lips touched, uncertain-- was this really happening? =
His grip=20
around her waist tightened and she brought her hands up around his =
head. He=20
loved the feeling of her hands in his hair. Her tongue reached out to =
Mulder's, moving slowly, tentatively. He responded in kind, his =
tongue=20
dancing with hers, first slowly, then increasing in passion. This =
isn't=20
happening, he thought. I'm underground under the influence of a giant =
hallucinogenic mushroom. Aw... who cares?
Their tongues met =
for what=20
seemed like a heaven's eternity. Scully's neck beckoned; Mulder =
stopped and=20
kissed it, realizing a dream that he had had ever since Scully =
entered his=20
basement office and announced that she was going to be working with =
him. As=20
his lips moved up Scully's neck, she brought her hands up his=20
shirt.
"Mulder," she whispered.
He stopped kissing =
her.
"Is=20
something wrong? Am I moving too fast?"
"No, Mulder. You're =
moving just=20
right. But you've got to lose this shirt. The whole Starfleet Academy =
thing=20
just isn't working for me. Raise your hands."
He was reluctant =
to=20
release her waist, but he obeyed and she lifted the shirt off of him. =
She ran=20
her hands up his chest and he shivered. She moved them around to the =
back of=20
his neck and pulled him back down to worship her neck. He complied, =
eager to=20
please.
Mulder's hands returned to her waist, immediately back =
inside her=20
tank, just below her breasts. His first instinct was to grasp them, =
but he=20
was controlling himself. He had waited seven long years. He could =
wait a=20
little while longer. Mulder's tongue licked, leisurely exploring from =
the=20
bottom of the neck up to her ear. Once there, he could not resist =
nibbling on=20
the earlobe, biting it mischievously, its pleasant softness feeling =
quite=20
nice between his teeth and tongue. Scully let out a audible sigh of=20
exquisite pleasure. Mulder wondered if her earlobe, like his finger, =
was=20
merely a conduit to send the jolt of pleasure downward to her =
sex.
She=20
held his face in her hands and pulled it back to her mouth, hungry =
for more=20
kisses. Their tongues reacquainted themselves and Mulder leaned =
her back on=20
the bed. He could feel her erect nipples pressing into him =
even through her=20
tank top. If this kept up, surely he would come before he even got =
his pants=20
off.
It was getting increasingly difficult for Mulder to =
concentrate on=20
just one part of Scully. He would move from her mouth and lose =
himself down=20
her neck. And his hands! His hands roamed her waist, wanting to =
either go up=20
higher or lower. So many choices!
His lips went lower,=20
alternating between eager sucking and feather light licking. Only=20
half-realizing it, his right hand lightly went up and cupped her =
breast.=20
Scully let out a gasp and Mulder buried his face in her neck. =
He lifted his=20
hand, shaking. It floated carefully above her breast, =
savoring the=20
moment. Mulder lowered his hand and kneaded it softly, feeling =
the hardness=20
of the nipple between his fingers. Scully's mouth parted, indicating =
to=20
Mulder that he must be doing something right.
He released it and =
could no=20
longer bear the flimsy piece of clothing between them. He grabbed the =
bottom=20
of the tank and attempted to pull it over her. He struggled with it, =
but with=20
Scully lying down, it was an impossible task.
He grabbed her by =
the waist=20
and lifted her into a sitting position. He couldn't keep his lips off =
of her=20
despite his current goal of getting her tank off. She had her arms =
around him=20
and their lips met, devouring each other, awash in the tactile =
sensation that=20
they had denied for so long. He broke away, determined to remain =
focused. His=20
eye caught the sweet spot of her neck and he lowered his mouth, =
helpless to=20
resist. He sucked and kissed and moved his hands upward. As they =
discovered=20
her waiting breasts he remembered his mission. Breaking away again, =
he lifted=20
the tank top. Scully, her eyes clouded with lust, raised her arms in=20
compliance with Mulder's desire. The nuisance came off and Mulder =
threw it=20
across the room.
He paused, taking in the sight of Scully, =
topless. Why=20
did men get so crazy when they saw a pair of breasts? Looking at them =
sent an=20
electric charge throughout his body, the visual image of them somehow =
representing all of her that was womanly. They reminded him that =
despite=20
years of trying to categorize and label her as a partner, friend, =
confidante,=20
that she was, first and foremost, a woman and a sexual being. They =
were white=20
and smooth. Her aureole was soft pink and he couldn't help being =
drawn to the=20
nipples centered in the middle. Nature had certainly blessed=20
Scully.
His body came crashing down on hers, his naked chest =
touching=20
hers. The sensations were overwhelming. Her soft, feminine skin felt =
so good=20
next to his. Her lips felt so right pressed up against his. This was =
better=20
than any late-night fantasy that he had put himself to bed with all =
these=20
years. His tongue kept finding hers, eager to meet, eager to=20
dance.
Mulder moved lower, anxious to focus on her chest. He =
tenderly ran=20
one hand over her left breast while suckling the other. His mouth =
formed an=20
"o" around her areola, creating a tiny seal. Mulder's tongue ran =
light=20
circles around her nipple, coaxing it further into hardness. Scully =
grabbed=20
the quilt with one hand and ran her other hand through Mulder's hair, =
which intensified Mulder's desire.
After teasing her nipple =
with his=20
tongue, he took it between his teeth, as gingerly as she had done =
with the=20
sunflower seed. He bit, carefully, and Scully responded by tightening =
her=20
grip on the quilt and Mulder's hair. A tiny shot of pain from the=20
hair-pulling mixed in with the pleasure and he couldn't help but bite =
down=20
just a little harder.
Scully whispered a tiny moan. "Other... =
other one,"=20
she said and pushed his head over to the other breast.
Yes. =
Can't=20
neglect this one. He gave it the same loving treatment, making =
a circular=20
motion with his tongue, swirling, agonizingly slow. His =
tongue greeted the=20
nipple, playing, teasing, flicking it. Scully gasped with=20
each flick.
"Bite it, Mulder! Quit teasing me!"
Mulder =
smiled=20
and did as she commanded, taking it between his teeth and biting, =
first=20
lightly, nibbling, then gradually harder. He knew he was pleasing =
Scully when=20
he felt the pain of his hair being gripped a little=20
too tightly.
"Mulder.."
He continued to suck on her =
breast and=20
knead the other one. Scully reached down and felt his bulging=20
crotch.
"Mulder... these pants are too tight."
Between =
sloppy=20
kisses he said: "You're... you're not helping."
"Well, let's see =
what I=20
can do. I am a doctor you know."
She pushed him off of her and he =
fell=20
backwards onto the quilt. He gazed at her through a haze of libido. =
She=20
crawled on top of him, stopping at his crotch.
"That looks =
painful,=20
Mulder."
"It is," he answered too quickly.
"I think I can =
help=20
you," she said lowering her voice.
Now it was her turn to tease. =
She took=20
her time unbuttoning his jeans. She pretended to struggle with the =
button,=20
finally releasing it from its slot. Scully then slowly pulled on the =
zipper.=20
His Jockeys bulged out, eager for the freedom. She grabbed the top of =
his=20
Jockeys and pulled them down quickly, releasing his burgeoning =
manhood. His=20
cock, finally free, stood straight up.
"Somebody's happy to =
see me,"=20
she purred.
Scully reached over, paused, then grasped it with one =
hand.=20
Mulder gasped and he dug his fingers into the quilt. She then took =
her other=20
hand and cupped it over the head of his cock and began rubbing it, as =
if she=20
were squeezing a lemon.
Mulder let out a moan. He felt as if =
he might=20
just dig his hands right through that quilt and into the mattress. =
The=20
pleasure was intense and he didn't know how much he could take before =
ejaculating right on Scully's busy hands. No. There's so much more I =
want to=20
do.
Her rubbing grew more intense and Mulder felt himself about =
to=20
come.
She quickly wrapped thumb and forefinger around his penis =
just=20
below the head and pressed the underside with her thumb. "Think =
of=20
blank sheets of paper," she said, grinning.
Mulder caught his =
breath.=20
At his beckoning, Frohike's face appeared to him, a floating head. He =
grinned=20
and said: "Mulder, don't come yet!" Then Langley's face leaned into =
him.=20
"Yeah dude, Scully don't need no 10 minute man." Byers showed up, his =
floating head joining his compadres. "Really Mulder. Focus. I have =
some=20
journals on tantric sex that might help you."
He felt his control =
returning just a little bit and the boys faded away.
"You ready?" =
she=20
asked.
He nodded. Scully lowered herself so she was eye level =
with=20
Mulder's dick. She extended her tongue, touching the head ever so =
lightly.=20
Mulder sucked in air quickly. She brought her lips closer and kissed =
it.=20
Scully moved in and licked up and down the shaft with excruciating=20
feather-lightness. Mulder's face looked like he was in =
pain.
Scully=20
stopped and paused. Mulder was just about to ask her why when =
she took the=20
length of his cock into her mouth. If felt glorious, like entering a =
pussy,=20
warm, wet, and inviting. Her tongue spun around his shaft and =
he moaned=20
loudly.
"Ahhhh. God. Yes. Ahhhh." His moans grew to the point =
where he=20
became silent, just struggling to remember to breathe, his mouth open =
and his=20
eyes clinched shut. He dug his fingers into his fist now, the pain =
keeping=20
him from coming.
She held onto the base of the shaft with her =
hand and=20
bobbed her head up and back down again, steadily, fucking him with =
her mouth.=20
Mulder held her head, not so much as to control her, but to feel the=20
luxuriousness of her hair through his fingers. He held in his moans; =
to let=20
himself go was to lose control and he did not want to come in =
Scully's mouth.=20
Mulder bit his lip hard, distracting himself from the intense=20
pleasure.
Still despite his best efforts he felt the orgasm =
sneaking up=20
on him building and building, quickening along with his heartbeat. He =
wasn't exerting himself but he was sweating and his skin felt=20
hot.
"Scully...ohhh God Scully... You need to stop. Please,=20
stop!"
She lifted her head up from his engorged penis, now hot =
and wet.=20
She pushed the hair out of her face and allowed herself to =
breathe.
"I=20
like it when you beg, Mulder," she growled.
His eyes shone, =
brimming with=20
lust.
"Now it's my turn Scully." He got up, his penis as hard as =
ever. He=20
pushed the jeans and underwear off of him.
Scully sat there =
awaiting=20
his next move. Mulder took a few seconds drinking in the image of =
her,=20
sitting there, her breasts still flush with the passion of his=20
kisses.
"God, you're beautiful Scully."
He sat down next =
to her=20
and brought up his hands to hold the sides of her face, pulling her =
up to his=20
lips. Their lips touched and it was every bit as electric as the =
first time.=20
His tongue reached in and found hers, equally searching. Still =
kissing, he=20
pushed her down onto the bed again, in a reclining position. He broke =
away=20
and his eyes traveled down to her tight black shorts.
"My =
turn," he=20
reminded her, gutturally.
He reached down and made none of the =
false=20
pretense that Scully had engaged in removing his pants. He quickly =
undid the=20
button, almost as if it wasn't there at all. He unzipped it just as =
quickly.=20
The sweat of her body made them stick to her thighs, but Mulder, not =
to be=20
denied, tugged forcefully. Scully lifted her butt off of the bed and =
they=20
slid off easily.
He looked down at her silk pink panties=20
hungrily.
"Move up," he barked urgently and she scooted up higher =
onto=20
the bed, her head now comfortably laying on the pillow.
He =
knelt=20
before her and ran his hand up the inside of her bare leg. He lowered =
himself=20
and kissed the side of her calf muscle. Scully had amazing calves. So =
soft,=20
so perfectly sculpted. With his free hand he felt Scully's opposite =
thigh,=20
rubbing it and massaging it. Mulder moved his lips higher up to her =
knee. How=20
many times had he snuck a look at her knees, beautiful and tempting? =
Too damn=20
many to count.
As he made his way up her legs, kissing, sucking,=20
worshipping, his hands reached up and took hold of her panties, =
sliding the=20
tips of his fingers just barely under the elastic. His grip turned =
hard and=20
he pulled on them. Scully responded by lifting her ass again and =
Mulder was=20
relieved that she wanted him to do this as bad as he did. He flung =
them=20
across the room, not caring where they went.
His mouth slowly =
made a=20
trail up her thigh, all roads leading up to Scully's pussy. He rested =
his=20
head on her thigh and explored with his tongue the sensitive area =
around her=20
treasure. He had one arm around one leg and his other arm around the =
other.=20
He could stay here forever, he thought.
His tongue danced around =
the edge=20
of her clit, playing, teasing. Scully let out a moan as he did this =
and he=20
could tell it was pleasure mixed with an impatient anticipation. Her =
hands=20
grabbed tightly the black railing of the headboard, a much more =
satisfying=20
grip than the quilt was.
"Are... are you trying, to torture me, =
Mulder?"=20
she breathed.
"I'm savoring it, Scully."
Her pussy smelled =
heavenly. It was a tantalizing pungent scent, slightly sweet and =
musky. He=20
breathed it in and felt drunk.
His tongue pushed into the wilds =
of her=20
hairs, circling and circling. Finally, he pushed in with his tongue, =
pushing=20
in, slowly, his wetness melting with her own. He kept on pushing, =
trying to=20
get his tongue in as deep as possible.
Scully gasped and let =
out a=20
tiny whimper.
"Ah! Oh, Mulder!"
He pulled out and flicked =
his=20
tongue back in and out, Scully breathing sharply in with each one. =
Mulder=20
entered again, deeply and swirled his tongue, effectively French =
kissing her=20
hot, wet pussy.
Mulder started to pull out and Scully pushed his =
head=20
back down again.
"Not so fast," she said.
He got the idea =
and=20
started to rhythmically bob in and out the same way that she had done =
to him.=20
Mulder increased the pressure and fucked her with his tongue. He then =
slid=20
one hand in, found her clit and began to stroke it.
The =
combination of=20
finger and tongue caused her to gasp again, in approval. Scully's =
fingers=20
gripped Mulder's hair, pushing him up and down. It hurt him, but he =
was=20
having way too much fun to care. Right now his only worry was =
grabbing gulps=20
of air in the few seconds between tongue-thrusts. He took his cue =
from=20
Scully, her hands basically controlling the frequency of=20
his thrusts.
She let out a low wail, building in intensity as =
she=20
forced Mulder to tongue-fuck her faster. His nimble fingers continued =
to=20
massage her throbbing clit.
At this point, he couldn't have stopped if =
he wanted=20
to. And he certainly did not want to. Her wet juices were flowing =
freely and=20
he drank them as he went down on her, trying desperately to suck up =
every=20
last drop.
Scully's moans grew louder and she twisted her fingers =
around=20
in his hair. His lips felt her inner muscles contract. Scully held =
his head=20
down, not letting him retreat. She clinched her ass-cheeks and lifted =
her=20
pussy into Mulder's face.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! OH GOD,=20
MULDERRRRRRRRR!"
Her body trembled uncontrollably and Mulder =
could feel=20
the energy of her orgasm. Her pussy's juices flowed and Mulder lapped =
up=20
every drop.
Finally, when he felt himself getting lightheaded =
from the=20
lack of oxygen, Scully released his head. He turned, resting on her =
thigh and=20
breathed in.
"Huhh. huhh. Whew! Scully."
"Get up here=20
Mulder."
"I thought you'd never ask."
Mulder climbed on =
top of=20
her, his hard cock finally about to get what it had wanted to get for =
the=20
last seven years. All the porno seemed absolutely pathetic compared =
to=20
this.
He held himself above her, the tip of his dick touching, =
just=20
barely, on her clit. He kissed her, his tongue plunging into her =
mouth. Just=20
as he was about to repeat the same plunging motion, only with his =
cock into=20
her pussy, Scully opened her eyes and clinched her legs together, her =
thighs=20
trapping Mulder. The tip of his cock was barely in her and her thigh =
muscles=20
kept him from entering her further. The sensation was both pleasant =
and=20
torturous. It felt so good, but all he wanted to do was shove it in =
with all=20
his strength.
"Oh my god!" she said.
"Scully? Is something =
wrong?"
"I just realized! I'm... I'm a virgin again, Mulder. If =
you just=20
ram that thing through my hymen, it'll hurt pretty bad."
"Do =
you want=20
me to stop?" he said, a little bit worried.
"No! No! You do and =
I'll kill=20
you. Just take it slow, Mulder."
He looked into her eyes. Mulder =
couldn't=20
believe it. He never thought he'd be Scully's "first." Well, ok, it =
wasn't=20
exactly like that, but the thought still made his heart =
swell.
He=20
leaned into her, kissing her, not with lust, but with love, a love=20
that overtook him and threatened to overwhelm him in its passion. Why =
had=20
he denied himself this for so long?
She kissed him back and =
their=20
tongues now met up with one another again. She relaxed her thighs and =
opened=20
for him.
Mulder, with as much control as he could summon under =
the=20
circumstances pushed his cock in with agonizing slowness. His dick, =
his whole=20
body became enflamed with pleasure. The sensations had never felt =
this strong=20
before. As he pushed in, a long, satisfying growl escaped his=20
lips.
"Uhhhhhhhhh..."
Scully let out a whimper as she took =
the=20
fullness of him in her.
"Yesssss, Mulderrr," she whispered, her =
body=20
laying under his, tantalized into helplessness.
"I'm not... =
hurting=20
you am I?"
"It hurt a little bit, but it's so good. Don't you =
dare=20
stop."
He lifted his head, closed his eyes and thrust slowly =
again, the=20
feeling overwhelming him. It was indescribable. Mulder raised his =
pelvis, his=20
dick almost slipping out. He hovered a few seconds and slid back in =
again,=20
going as deep as he could.
Gradually, his pumping increased, =
becoming=20
faster and more impassioned. He held himself up above her now with =
one arm,=20
using his other hand to hold onto her waist, gripping her tightly as =
he=20
fucked her. Mulder brought his mouth down, his lips feverishly =
kissing any=20
flesh that he could reach: mouth, neck-- he tried to reach her =
breasts, but=20
he was so much taller than she was, it was quite difficult to get his =
head=20
down to her chest area.
He was grunting now, picking up speed. =
Scully was=20
now lost in her moaning, occasionally letting out tiny screams =
of=20
pleasure. Mulder felt the sensations in his cock growing; he knew he =
was=20
about five thrusts from orgasm. He heard Scully's louder moans and =
felt her=20
fingernails digging into his back and knew that she had to be close =
too. God,=20
he hoped she got there before he did. He did not want to stop three =
seconds=20
short of Scully coming.
He was awash in sensation, his whole body =
wet and=20
sweating, slamming into hers. He pumped her furiously and could no =
longer=20
tell whether his thrusts were beginning or ending.
"Ahhhh. =
Ahhhhhhh.=20
Oh god. Mullderrrr. I'm comingggggg!"
Scully's voice let out a =
low murmur=20
and dug her nails into his back. The murmur crescendoed, growing into =
a=20
scream, the most intense of arias. On the crest of her orgasm she =
thrust her=20
hips higher, pushing Mulder into an orgasm of his own.
He was =
on the=20
verge of coming anyway and when Scully raised her hips and clenched =
the inner=20
walls surrounding his aching cock, he lost it.
His body shook as he pumped =
her one=20
last time, emptying his come into her as deep as he could push it. In =
response she squeezed him with her inner muscles, causing him to=20
gasp.
Mulder was tense for about 15 seconds as the final bit of =
come=20
came trickling out. His cock was now oversensitive and tender. They =
both=20
relaxed their bodies at the same time and let out a sigh of =
air.
Still=20
raised above her, he leaned in and kissed her, their lips=20
barely touching.
"Mulder," she whispered.
"Shhh," he=20
responded. He didn't want to say something stupid and break =
the spell.=20
So many questions. Questions that didn't seem so important when =
he lost=20
himself in her. His lips pressed against hers. They kissed, long, =
slow, and=20
deep.
His muscles shook and he had to lay down. He lifted his =
receding=20
cock out of her and they both inhaled quickly, the sensation intense. =
He=20
collapsed beside her. He reached over, put his hand on her waist and =
pulled=20
her over. Scully responded and laid her hand on his face, tenderly. =
Their=20
eyes met.
"Mulder... I know what you're thinking. You're thinking =
we're=20
not ourselves. That we're under the influence of out of control =
teenage=20
hormones. That we're--"
"Scully, I love you," he said quickly =
never=20
breaking his gaze into her eyes. He kissed her, his tongue =
penetrating those=20
full lips.
He pulled away, love in his eyes.
"Mulder, =
you've been=20
affected by unknown properties in the water. Who=20
knows what---"
"Scully, I love you," he repeated and kissed =
her again.=20
When the kiss broke, she continued.
"Mulder, what has happened =
here...=20
well, it defies all laws of science. Don't get me wrong, it was =
incredible,=20
but--
"Scully, I love you." He reached over and kissed her again, =
more=20
passionate than before. Her tongue met his and they did their dance. =
She=20
broke away.
"Mulder," she said her voice cracking gearing up for =
another=20
argument. "Mulder," she repeated dumbly. Her eyes reddened and a tear =
welled=20
up in the corner of her eye. What if it was true. What if... What =
if...=20
"Mulder.." She lifted her eyebrows and looked like a little girl =
again.=20
"Really?"
He smiled at her disbelief. How could she not see how =
much he=20
loved her? How much he had always loved her?
"God yes, Scully. =
Really.=20
I've always tried to hide it from you and myself. It took being a =
teenager=20
again to simplify everything. I belong to you. You belong to me. =
Nothing else=20
matters. I may not be able to convince you in the existence of=20
extraterrestrials, vampires, or whatever, but by God, I will make you =
believe=20
this."
She smiled and let out a little laugh. He might have been =
16, but=20
he was still *so* Mulder... his wide-eyed willingness to *believe*. =
And his=20
amazing ability to convince you whether you wanted to or=20
not.
"Scully..." he said, wiping away the tear rolling down her =
cheek.=20
"Are you going to say something?"
She looked at him. He was =
hers. All=20
the evidence was there in front of her. It had always been. She had =
always=20
loved him, but when hints of such a love surfaced, she explained them =
away,=20
disproving them as ruthlessly as she might an x-file. No, he doesn't =
think of=20
me that way. No, he didn't mean to brush up against me like that. No, =
he=20
couldn't possibly love me, we're much too different. She bit the =
inside of=20
her cheek. She no longer wanted to explain this away.
"Scully? =
What=20
are you thinking?"
"That... that..." She smiled. "That I want to =
believe,=20
Mulder. I love you and I want to believe.
He grinned and =
embraced her,=20
absorbing the two phrases he never thought he would hear Scully say. =
The=20
kisses returned, slow and loving. Happiness. So this is happiness, he =
thought. I never knew.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the =
afterglow=20
of their tryst, they lay in each other's arms for hours, drifting =
into the=20
most blissful, deep sleep. She awoke before Mulder did and felt two=20
overriding urges, neither of them having to do with sex. 1: She had =
to pee.=20
Really, really bad. and 2: She was starving for chocolate-chip =
pancakes. She=20
got up, moving Mulder's arm off of her and she went into the=20
bathroom.
Mulder stirred. His eyes partially opened and he =
smiled,=20
feeling that post-coital buzz. Damn, he felt good. And =
starved.
Scully=20
came out of the bathroom wearing nothing. Mulder stared at her =
feeling Little=20
Mulder getting stiff again. This has to be the best day of my life, =
he=20
thought.
Scully saw his penis was stirring and she stopped, a =
twinge=20
going through her as well. Fuck or go eat? Dammit, she was=20
hungry.
"Uh... Mulder... don't get any ideas. I am=20
*starving*."
"Maybe I could help you with that," Mulder=20
offered.
"Later. Now I need food. Real food! I want pancakes.=20
With chocolate chips."
As she said it, Mulder's mouth watered. =
He=20
hadn't eaten anything for 48 hours either. But where in the hell =
could they=20
find pancakes? The only store in miles was Hal's Gas Shack and--- =
Oh shit.=20
It all came back to him. He had meant to tell Scully all that he had =
found=20
out last night... Mistress Ambrosia... the virus... and the root. =
That the=20
kid was really Hal, Dom's brother and that Hal had the root which =
could be=20
the key to getting them back to their correct ages. He paused. But =
did he=20
really want them to go back? Yeah, he knew Scully wanted to be her=20
rightful age, but would everything go back to normal? It would be=20
just like to Scully to deny everything that had happened here, =
blaming it=20
on the water. Psychotropic drugs in the water. We were drugged, she =
would=20
argue. He just didn't know what to do.
"Mulder, where did you =
throw my=20
panties?"
Like a keyword in a search engine, Scully saying the=20
word "panties" brought all of his attention back to her =
nakedness.
He=20
smiled, held his hands up in the air and shrugged.
"Got=20
me."
"Mulder."
"I wish I could help Scully," he said =
trying to=20
look bewildered and failing. His eyes betrayed him as they darted =
over to=20
where they had fallen by the lounge chair by the door. She caught=20
him looking and knew instantly where they were.
Putting them =
on, she=20
said: "You're not much of a poker player,are you Mulder?" She put on =
the rest=20
of her clothes, starting with her black cut-offs and then her white=20
tank.
"Mulder, you're staring."
"I can't help it," he=20
grinned.
Scully let him stare. He'd paid his dues.
"I've =
been=20
thinking, Mulder. Maybe that gas station down the road would know =
where we=20
could get some pancakes."
Crap. Back to reality again. Hal. Dom. =
Mistress=20
Ambrosia. The root. He didn't want to tell Scully. He got up =
and pulled=20
on his underwear, his face lost in thought. It didn't go=20
unnoticed.
"Mulder is something wrong?"
He took a breath. =
He=20
couldn't hide this from her. He couldn't, even if it meant he might =
lose her.=20
If he didn't tell her now, she would find out eventually and she =
would most=20
certainly be lost to him then. He struggled and felt his perfect day=20
slipping away from him.
"Scully, before we... uh... made =
love... I was=20
going to tell you something. Something that happened last=20
night."
"What is it Mulder?" she said, her voice betraying=20
concern.
Mulder told her, all of it. He told how he had been =
awakened=20
by the bats and how he had followed a mysterious figure into =
the swamp. He=20
described Mistress Ambrosia and her shack. Mulder explained the virus =
and how=20
Mistress Ambrosia thought that it would burn the pool water out of =
their=20
systems and how they would need the root to recover from the effects =
of the=20
virus.
"Mulder, if that's true..."
"Then we could get back =
to=20
normal. If that's what you want..."
"Yes, Mulder! I know it =
sounds hokey,=20
but we have to try every option. We have to find Hal!"
Mulder =
said=20
nothing. He felt a sinking feeling in the pit of =
his stomach.
"Maybe=20
Dom knows where he might be hiding."
"Yeah, maybe, " Mulder got =
up and=20
finished putting on his clothes, trying not to let on how upset he =
was=20
getting. He couldn't even look at her.
Mulder! What is wrong =
with=20
you?" she said, the confusion and anger seeping into her voice. =
"Don't you=20
want to get our lives back?"
He hesitated, fear in his voice. =
"No=20
Scully! I don't! I want to keep the life I've gained! This one!" He =
gestured=20
emptily at the room. "You and me," he said, his voice soft once =
again. "I=20
don't want to lose you."
Scully stood there for a second =
feeling the=20
emotion between them. Her eyes welled up blurring her vision. She =
wiped them,=20
smiled, and went to him, embracing him fully.
"Oh, Mulder... =
It=20
doesn't matter if we're kids or not. None of this changes. None of =
it,=20
Mulder. Nothing that went on in this room will fade. I won't let it. =
We won't=20
let it."
Mulder's arms hung at his sides, surprised at=20
Scully's acceptance. She still wanted him. Just like that. He wrapped =
his arms around her and hugged her back. It felt so good. =
So=20
right.
He bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Let's go," =
he=20
said.
................
Mulder opened the door to Hal's Gas =
Shack=20
and held it for Scully, his hand back to "his spot", the small of her =
back.=20
Now though, he slyly brought his hand lower, stealing a grab of that=20
luscious ass. He had always wanted to do that. She shot him a glance, =
full of playful anger.
"Mulder!" she said, swatting his=20
hand.
She entered and the little bell on the door jangled,=20
triggering the memory of the last time Mulder had heard that bell. =
His=20
dick automatically swelled not only recalling the image of =
Scully exiting=20
through that door, her ass looking quite wonderful in motion, but =
also armed=20
with the knowledge of how that beautiful ass felt and looked naked. =
Mulder's=20
fantasies had just gotten more detailed.
Dom sat there in the =
exact=20
same position watching the exact same black and white tv set. The =
program had=20
changed-- he now seemed to be enthralled by some psychic =
infomercial-- but=20
Dom's position had not. He sat there slumped shoving chewing tobacco =
in=20
between his bottom lip and gums. For all they knew, he hadn't made a=20
move since they last saw him.
Dom's customer service skills =
did not=20
extend beyond making correct change and he didn't even bother looking =
away=20
from his tv when they entered.
Scully certainly had never =
expected to=20
visit this shack twice in her lifetime, but here she was. The last 48 =
hours=20
had been full of surprises. It said a lot that the least of them=20
involved finding the Fountain of Youth and de-aging, first back to 9=20
and then aging back up to 16. No, more incredible than that was=20
the relative ease with which she had responded to Mulder's =
advances and=20
innuendos and that she had ended up making a few of her own, their =
passions=20
escalating into mind-blowing sex and then into something she really =
had not=20
expected: admission of their love for one another. It felt so good... =
too=20
good. How could such contentment and love be hers? She scolded her =
self-doubt=20
and took a page from Mulder's book, trusting her heart, not her=20
head.
"Dom! Good to see you!" Mulder said.
Dom tore his =
eyes away=20
from the glowing box and squinted his eyes at Mulder and =
Scully.
"Do I=20
know you, son?"
"A couple of days ago... we were in =
here."
"We=20
were lost.. looking for a hotel.." Scully added.
"We looked a =
little=20
bit... older. We were looking for the fountain of youth."
A =
flicker of=20
recognition glinted in Dom's eyes, but Dom wasn't trusting his=20
eyes.
"You're... you're not making any sense."
"We found =
it Dom.=20
The fountain of youth. Last time we came in here we were in our 30's. =
Now=20
we're in our teens. And we found your brother too. Hal. In fact, =
that's why=20
we're here. We can't seem to find him."
Mulder tossed down the =
photo=20
that had been previously hanging in the motel's foyer. It skimmed =
across the=20
counter like a playing card. Scully shook her head. Mulder loved =
being=20
dramatic.
Dom picked up the photo and examined it. He smiled and =
stared=20
at it for the longest time.
"That was a nice summer," he said=20
wistfully. "I caught that one." he pointed to the fish in the =
picture. "Hal=20
was no good with a pole. It used to piss him off to no end. I could =
catch 'em=20
and he couldn't." Dom chuckled, lost in time. "Where'd you get=20
this?"
"The Ponce de Leon Motor Court Inn. The same motel that=20
your brother is running."
"Those cabins a few miles down? What =
the=20
hell is he doin' that for?
"Because they're sitting right on =
the=20
Fountain of Youth. The water's in the pool. You didn't know about=20
this?
Dom shifted in his seat. "Naw, I don't get out much." He=20
grinned and pointed at the tv. On the set was Mistress=20
Ambrosia.
Mulder pointed towards the set excitedly.
"Turn =
that=20
up!"
Dom obliged, actually getting up.
Mistress Ambrosia =
looking=20
insanely cheerful was sitting at a table surrounded with dozens of =
lit=20
candles behind her. A large crystal ball lay before her. She was =
talking in=20
her familiar Jamaican accent to a disembodied voice, who presumably =
was=20
a phone caller. Mistress Ambrosia had her own 1-900 =
line.
"Mulder, is=20
that--"
"Yes. Mistress Ambrosia."
In a thick heavy =
southern accent=20
a woman's voice was asking Mistress Ambrosia for =
advice.
"Mistress=20
Ambrosia? Is my husband cheating on me?"
"The ball don't lie, =
sweetpea. I=20
see your husband giving his love to another."
"Is it my =
sister?=20
Because I seen him lookin' at her..."
"No, no, chile. Your =
husband has no=20
interest in your sister. He's madly in love with Leonardo=20
DiCaprio!"
"Oh my god! Thank you Mistress Ambrosia! This explains =
so=20
much, especially his obsession with the whole, you know Titanic =
thing. You=20
are truly amazing."
The camera zoomed in on Mistress Ambrosia's =
face,=20
extremely giddy, despite having delivered such traumatic news. A=20
bright, flashing graphic appeared on the screen next to her head =
that read=20
"CALL NOW" along with her number. She picked up a phone and shook it =
at the=20
viewer forcefully.
"Questions about love? Your job? Your future? =
Call me,=20
Mistress Ambrosia, sweetpeas and let me use my awesome psychic powers =
to help YOU."
"Mulder, your Mistress Ambrosia is a =
fraud,"
"No,=20
I'm not so sure, Scully. Just because she's got a 1-900 number =
doesn't mean=20
that she isn't a real psychic. After all, it's not as if she told me =
I was in=20
love with Leonardo."
"Yes, but Mulder, you have to admit--" =
Scully=20
stopped as a tabloid headline caught her eye. She picked up a copy of =
The National Spy, whose journalistic achievements made World =
Weekly News=20
look like the Washington Post. Her thumb rested next to the headline: =
"Aliens=20
Made Me Fertile!"
Mulder narrowed his eyes, unsure of why Scully =
would=20
be interested in The National Spy. Teenage regressions, the =
fountain of=20
youth, wild sex with Scully, these things were believable-- but =
Scully=20
reading a tabloid? I don't think so.
"Mulder, look at this," she =
said=20
weakly, handing it over.
Mulder glanced at the cheap newsprint, =
the black=20
ink rubbing onto his fingertips.
"Dr. Laura Admits Love for =
Melissa=20
Etheridge? I've never felt so free she says... Scully, what has =
this--"
"No Mulder, this one!" She pointed to the fertility =
story.=20
He examined it, still not getting what Scully had seen in the=20
story.
"Scully... I'm not sure where you're going with=20
this."
"Mulder... When our bodies "de-aged", if you want to call=20
it that, everything regressed to the way it was...meaning... I =
had my=20
hymen. I'm a virgin... I was a virgin.."
They felt eyes upon them =
and=20
both Mulder and Scully looked over to Dom, who was no longer getting =
sucked=20
into his tv shows, but instead sat there with rapt attention towards =
them=20
both.
"Well, go on," Dom said. "You were a =
virgin..."
Mulder did=20
his polite grin and nod over to Dom, grabbed Scully by the arm and =
led her=20
outside.
"Umm, we'll be right back, Dom," Mulder said. "She's =
shy,"=20
he added giving him a wink.
They exited the gas shack and =
stood=20
outside next to a payphone that inexplicably only charged a quarter. =
The=20
phone book, which, miraculously had not been ripped off, hung by a =
metal=20
wire, swinging in the breeze.
"Go on," Mulder said.
"I =
had my=20
hymen. What if..." she paused. She knew the truth of her words, =
but like=20
many of the supernatural events that surrounded the x-files, to =
discuss such=20
things, to vocalize them made them sound ludicrous. And she did not =
want them=20
to sound unbelievable. She wanted this to be true.
"What if," =
she=20
continued, "I had my eggs back as well? What if I'm fertile again=20
Mulder?
Mulder stood there speechless. He hadn't even considered=20
it. Hell, being in the bedroom with Scully, he hadn't considered =
much of=20
*anything* except for what was the quickest way to separate Scully =
from her=20
panties. He hadn't even considered... My god... protection! No =
condoms, no=20
diaphragms, no birth control pills. Like so many other stupid horny=20
teenagers, that had been the last thing on his mind. Not to mention, =
Mulder=20
had so resigned himself to Scully being barren that the thought of =
her being=20
fertile was almost impossible to fathom. And yet, it made perfect =
sense.=20
If she had her hymen back again, why wouldn't everything else=20
be intact?
"Scully..." was all he could say. It was just one =
word, but=20
it betrayed a happiness and excitement that he had never hoped=20
to entertain before. His spirit buoyed a little bit. Could it be? =
He had=20
carried with him the guilt of Scully's loss for so long. After all, =
it was=20
her association with him that made her a target of barbaric alien=20
experiments. Experiments that had put the damned chip in her neck, =
gave her=20
cancer, and stolen her ova. She had beat the cancer, but had never =
gotten=20
over the loss of her eggs. Now, here was fate, giving her a second =
chance.=20
And if he could be the father of Scully's child...
She looked =
into his=20
eyes, connecting with that boyish enthusiasm. He tried not to look =
too=20
excited. Mulder wasn't sure just how Scully felt about this. He would =
hate to=20
be giddy about this if Scully was feeling the opposite. Mistress =
Ambrosia=20
wasn't around and *he* wasn't psychic, so maybe flat-out asking her=20
was the way to go.
"If it's true, Scully... Well, how do you =
feel=20
about that?"
She opened her mouth, paused, and then shut it, =
unsure of=20
how she did feel. She knew she wanted kids. She had always planned =
to have=20
children, but it had always been something she would do in the =
future, some=20
nebulous cloud, always on the horizon, but never here. When her ova =
were=20
taken from her, she realized she had waited too long. Was God =
punishing her=20
for putting her career over motherhood? The universe cruelly reminded =
her=20
from time to time of her inability to conceive. Around her pregnant=20
sister-in- law she felt empty, faulty somehow, less of a woman. And=20
Emily... she mourned the loss of her, feeling doubly responsible=20
towards her. Responsible because her stolen ova, was tampered with=20
to create Emily... all because of her connection to the x-files =
and then=20
later, Emily's subsequent death. She had been helpless to protect =
her. She=20
had been *her* responsibility and she had failed her. And now, this. =
If she=20
could conceive again then how could she refuse such a gift?
"I =
don't=20
know how to feel Mulder. God, how could anyone ever know? It's hard =
to bring=20
a child into the world under any circumstances, let alone one in our=20
craziness. How can I be so cavalier, so confident, so =
sure?"
Mulder=20
smiled gently and took his hands into his, their=20
fingers intertwining.
"Hey. You got me."
She looked up =
at him=20
and could feel the tears welling up in her eyes.
"Goddammnit =
Mulder,=20
you're making me cry again," she said laughing and crying at the same =
time.=20
She embraced him and rested her head on his chest. Even as teens, he =
towered=20
over her.
"Scully, I *like* the idea of being young again. But I =
like=20
the idea of *us* even more. I want to be there with you. If you =
want to=20
find Hal and this root, I'll do it. If you want to stay at this age =
and try=20
to have kids, I'll do that too. Whatever you choose, you are not =
going to be=20
alone on this."
Scully broke away from him, deep in thought, =
weighing the=20
pluses and minuses. A new life. Children. Mulder. It was all =
available to=20
her. They would have to give up the x-files, of course. Even if they =
could=20
convince the powers that be that they were Mulder and Scully, would =
they=20
really want the scrutiny? Proving that there was a fountain of youth =
would=20
make them talk-show celebrities and Jay Leno punchlines. What a =
horrible=20
thought. No, better to live in anonymity. They could still remain in=20
contact with loved ones. She knew she could convince her family that=20
she was Scully. The Lone Gunmen, definitely. Skinner... =
probably. Mulder=20
could be pretty convincing when he wanted to. Hell, it would probably =
be even=20
easier to fight the conspiracy if they no longer existed-- the =
anonymity=20
their weapon. Were there any minuses? Well, Scully admitted, it would =
be=20
pretty strange to be a pregnant teenager.
"Mulder, are you =
sure of=20
what you're saying?"
"Yes! You're not going to get rid of me,=20
Scully!"
"Then I think I know what I want to do. Let's give it =
two=20
weeks, Mulder. Let's spend two weeks inside that =
cabin."
Mulder didn't=20
let her continue. "Yes, Scully," he said quickly.
"You didn't let =
me=20
finish, Mulder. After the two weeks I take a test. If it's positive =
we stay=20
young. If it's negative we find the root."
"You always have =
the most=20
brilliant ideas, Scully."
"Shut up. You just want to fuck for two =
weeks."
"I can't believe you just said 'fuck'. I'm stiffing right =
now."
"Oh you are not!"she said disbelieving. "Just cause I said=20
fuck?"
"Feel it," he said, offering her proof by sticking his =
hips=20
out.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she reached out and=20
touched his bulge, if only for a second, and then brought her =
hand quickly=20
back as if she was petting a rabid weasel.
"Oh my! I stand =
corrected,=20
Mulder. It doesn't take much for you does it?"
"Not when =
you're the=20
one doing it, anyways," he answered slyly.
He bent down slightly =
to kiss=20
her. She tilted her head, her eyes closing as his lips met hers. =
Gently, he=20
broke the kiss. They turned to see Dom standing beside them looking =
quite=20
moved. He looked like he was about to cry as he put his arms around=20
Mulder and Scully. He began to lead them back to the =
store.
"That's so=20
sweet," Dom said. "Young people in love. It touches =
my heart."
"Um...=20
curious...How long were you there?" Mulder asked.
Instead of =
answering=20
Dom swatted the air and made a pfft sound with his =
lips.
"Listen, I=20
think I can help you find Hal. There were a few places that we used =
to hang=20
out as kids and if I know him, he's probably hiding out in one of=20
'em."
"That's very kind of you...Mr..."
"Call me=20
Dom."
"Dom. We'd still like to talk to him," Scully said. "But if =
and when you find him, please let him know that we're not mad at=20
him anymore. He shouldn't be afraid."
"I can do =
that."
"And=20
we'd like to extend our stay... for two weeks,"=20
Mulder added.
.............
Mulder stood, =
shirtless,=20
behind Scully and with one hand brushed her hair aside to expose her =
neck.=20
Once done, he lowered his mouth to the exposed skin and kissed it. He =
put his=20
arms around her waist and his kisses became slightly harder as his=20
tongue sought her out, licking and sucking up and down her neck.=20
Scully breathed in and out with each kiss, her breaths punctuated =
with the=20
slightest of gasps.
His desire was the same as before. Making =
love to her=20
the last few days had not dampened his intensity in the least. =
Knowing=20
her body, knowing her responses... it only served to excite him. =
He knew=20
he would always feel this way, that her mystique, her mystery would =
never=20
fade. He wanted her now, like he did yesterday, like he did when he =
first met=20
her, and like he always would.
As Mulder gave her earlobes a =
nibble,=20
he unbuttoned her blouse with one hand, his fingers nimblely finding =
those=20
damned buttons, grasping them and forcing then out of their holes. =
Finger,=20
thumb, push. Finger, thumb, push. It took a persistency and focus=20
that might've made other men fumble in their efforts. Mulder was =
too good.=20
The rewards were too good. As the last button acquiesced to Mulder's=20
persuasive fingers, Scully let out a soft laugh.
"Mulder, you're =
getting=20
pretty good at that. Especially after three beers. I'm=20
impressed."
"You know what they say... Practice makes perfect," =
he=20
purred into her ear.
Scully turned around quickly, throwing =
her arms=20
around his neck, pulling him down to kiss her. She pressed her mouth =
against=20
his, her tongue eagerly searching him out, and finding him just =
as eager=20
to kiss her back. His cock hardened, surprised by the forcefulness of =
Scully's kiss and the exquisite sensation of feeling his bare chest =
against=20
hers. Her breasts, naked and free, were pushing into his chest. It =
was too=20
much. He had to kiss them.
Breaking free from their embrace, =
he guided=20
her into a sitting position on the bed. Mulder knelt before her, =
taking a=20
breast into his mouth, kissing and sucking it. His lips formed a=20
perfect circle around her nipple and he gently licked around it in=20
a spiral. His other hand massaged her other breast, at =
first cupping it,=20
then Mulder's fingers carefully squeezed the nipple. It became erect =
and=20
Mulder tugged the aroused nipple. Scully let out a tiny moan of=20
approval.
"Oh Mulder, this is nice, but I can't hold myself up=20
much longer." She was leaning back on the bed, her arms supporting=20
her weight. It was pleasant enough, but her arms were giving out =
on her.=20
She scanned the room, looking for something.
"Over there," she =
commanded=20
pointing.
"The dresser?" Mulder said, a little afraid.
"Do =
it=20
now!" she said trying to sound tough, but a smile broke through. =
"Go!" She=20
reached over and slapped Mulder on the ass.
"Clear it off for =
me," she=20
ordered.
He shoved everything that was on the dresser onto the=20
floor. Makeup, loose change, an empty beer bottle-- they all =
went flying.=20
Mulder's cellphone hit the floor, but he didn't feel the least bit =
interested=20
in it. As days went by it had became less and less important to=20
him.
Scully stood up, looking straight at Mulder. Her fingers =
went=20
to her shorts button. She undid it, slowly, with purpose. Then =
the zipper.=20
Mulder's lips unconsciously parted. His mouth went dry. He was so fun =
to=20
tease. Scully pulled them off leaving only her silk panties. She =
arched her=20
leg forward as she pulled off the satiny piece of cloth. It was fun =
to be his=20
little pin up doll. She flung it behind her and moved over to the =
dresser and=20
sat on the edge, looking very serious.
"Kneel."
He =
obeyed,=20
getting on his knees in front of her. She gave a nod indicating to =
him that=20
he now had permission to continue. He grabbed her waist for support =
and began=20
to kiss up and down her thighs. His tongue was playful,flicking in =
and out,=20
caressing her soft, milky skin. It felt mysterious and familiar at =
the=20
same time, Mulder thought.
He blazed a hot wet trail of kisses =
upwards=20
towards her glistening treasure. He kissed around it, his tongue=20
circling, saving the best part for last.
Scully's hands lay =
easy on=20
Mulder's head. And while she did it for her own pleasure, Mulder =
loved it as=20
much as she did. It was a simple thing, something that you don't =
think of.=20
But it felt intimate somehow, and it was very sensual to feel her =
fingers=20
in his hair.
Mulder could wait no longer. He had wanted to =
tease her--=20
to get her back for the striptease, make her beg for it, but *he* =
was too=20
excited. He let his tongue slip to where it wanted to, into the dark =
moist=20
folds of her sex.
Scully let out a gasp and tugged on Mulder's =
hair. It=20
hurt him slightly, but he was getting used it and to be honest, it =
was a=20
bit thrilling knowing that he was making Scully lose control like =
that. His=20
cock was learning to swell in response to the pain, knowing pleasure =
was just=20
around the corner.
He withdrew his tongue and proceeded to =
lightly kiss=20
the exquisite pink-red folds. They seemed to throb underneath =
his lips.=20
Mulder's tongue raised up and found her clit. He flicked at it, =
feather-soft=20
and Scully moaned.
"Ahh! Uhhhhoooooohh! Oh god, =
Mulder!"
He=20
circled the aroused clit with a delicate flick of his tongue. He =
swirled in=20
one direction increasing in speed, then stopping and reversing the =
direction=20
of his swirling. He felt the pain as Scully's grip on his hair grew =
stronger.=20
He must be doing it right, he thought.
Scully controlled the =
speed and=20
intensity of his bobbing, forcing his head down on her. As his tongue =
massaged her clit, he brought one hand down and his forefinger found =
her lips=20
and slid deeply and slowly into her wet passage. Mulder felt the wet =
warmth=20
of her walls around his finger and he felt like he was going to =
come right=20
there in his jeans.
Scully arched her head back, sucking in a =
quick burst=20
of air. She kept her lips parted and her eyes closed. She let go of =
his=20
hair for a second, then renewed her grip, even tighter than =
before. The=20
pain was about the only thing keeping Mulder from coming.
He =
fucked her=20
with his finger, the rhythm getting faster and faster. His tongue =
kept up the=20
pace, giving equal attention to her pulsating clit. He knew the =
orgasm was=20
building.
"Uhhh..uhhh..uhhh..Mulder! Oh! Mulder! I'm going to...=20
going to...Stop Mulder! Stop! I want you in me!"
Mulder was =
lost in a=20
haze of lust, but he heard the word 'stop' and forced himself to =
break=20
away.
"Fuck me Mulder. Now."
He licked his lips and stood =
up.=20
Fucking her on the dresser. This would be interesting. He still had =
to lean=20
into her a bit to kiss her, but his crotch was perfectly in line with =
her=20
sex.
He started to undo his jeans. Scully decided he wasn't=20
quick enough, pushed his hands away and unbuttoned them herself. =
He took=20
them off, leaving only his underwear with a bulge aching to get out. =
He slid=20
them off quickly, breaking all sorts of speed records. Scully pulled =
his head=20
down to hers and kissed him long and deep, savoring her own=20
juices.
"You taste good, Mulder."
"I know," he said with a =
devious=20
grin.
They kissed again. Mulder grabbed her by the waist, pulling =
her as close as possible without her falling off the dresser. The =
tip of=20
his penis pushed aimlessly down below, desperately looking for =
Scully's=20
opening. She grasped it tightly with one hand and guided him towards =
her=20
slit.
"It's right here Mulder," she said with a =
smile.
"You know=20
me Scully," he breathed, his dick just barely into her. "I never... I =
never=20
ask directions."
He pushed his length into her as deep as he =
could.=20
Mulder grunted and had to reach out with one hand to brace himself on =
the=20
wall.
Scully let out a whimper that grew into a =
moan.
Mulder=20
pulled out as far as he could without actually leaving, then he =
pushed it=20
back in. The pleasure was exquisite and he trembled, his body =
on the=20
verge of orgasm. He quickened the pace of his thrusts, giving himself =
over to=20
the rhythm of their lovemaking.
Scully showed her =
appreciation, giving=20
his hair a break and running her nails down his back instead. She =
felt=20
herself losing control of her body as the pleasure increased=20
steadily.
"Oh! Oh! Oh god Mulder! Don't stop!"
His lips =
found the=20
soft flesh of her neck and he sucked and licked wherever he could =
reach. As=20
his pumping increased he bit her, oh-so-lightly and Scully let out a =
tiny=20
scream of delight.
Mulder grunted animalistically with each =
thrust of his=20
cock. "Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh! Uhhh! Ohh Sculleee!"
Her nails dug into =
his=20
ass, but Mulder was beyond the pain. The pleasure was too intense and =
it=20
washed over the pain like a tidal wave obliterating a sand castle. He =
was=20
throbbing now inside of her pushing as hard and fast as he could, =
unable to=20
stop, lost in the overpowering sensations.
Scully began to =
groan, her=20
voice slow but steadily rising=20
in ecstasy.
"oohhhh...oohhhhhhh...ohhhhhh! God! =
Mulderrrrrrrrrr!" She=20
could hold out no longer. Her orgasm crashed through her body and=20
she shivered with pleasure. She clenched around Mulder's =
dick, squeezing=20
as hard as she could with her inner muscles.
Mulder's face =
contorted=20
as if he was in pain, his mouth open in a silent scream of pleasure. =
He=20
surrendered control of his body and let out a yell.
"Ahhhh! =
Ahhhhh!=20
ohhhhh Sculleeee! God I'm comminnngg!"
The room spun around him =
in slow=20
motion as the orgasm overtook him. He rode her, pumping every last =
bit of his=20
seed in as deep as he could.
"Oh. Oh. Mulder. My god. That =
was=20
intense," Scully breathed, barely audible.
He kissed her, his =
lips=20
tingling.
"I love you," he said, his forehead touching hers, his =
eyes=20
still closed. "You know that, don't you?"
She brought her =
hands up to=20
his face. "With every part of me," she answered back. "As much as I =
love=20
you."
He leaned in to kiss her and his receding dick slipped out=20
of her. They both gasped at the intensity of him leaving her=20
and smiled.
"Ah! Mulder...whew," she said, catching her =
breath.=20
"You... you think that was the *one*? Do you think we made a=20
baby?"
Mulder gave her a playful look.
"I don't know. =
Shouldn't we=20
have been facing north? I'm thinking we might have to do this=20
again."
Scully smiled back and wagged her finger at =
him.
"Don't=20
rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come =
out, Mulder."
He=20
laughed and scooped her little frame up, one hand under her torso, =
the other=20
under her legs, as if he was going to carry her over the=20
threshold.
"Ah! Mulder! What are you doing?"
He set her =
down on=20
the bed.
"What do you think, Scully? I'm rubbing the =
lamp."
She=20
let out a throaty laugh as he leaped at=20
her.
................
TWO WEEKS =
LATER
Mulder=20
wrinkled up his face in disgust and put the beer bottle down. He was =
sunning=20
himself in a lawn chair beside the pool. Scully lay next to him in =
her lounge=20
chair, soaking up the Florida sun. She wore shades, which turned =
Mulder on to=20
no end.
"Ugh. This beer isn't getting any better =
Scully."
"Mmmm.=20
What do you expect from a beer called Goat Scrotum=20
Ale, Mulder?"
"Yeah, well count yourself lucky you're =
abstaining from=20
alcohol. It tastes like goat piss. When's Dom bringing those =
pregnancy tests=20
by anyway?"
"Sometime after lunch. He special ordered them and=20
everything."
She took a swig of iced tea. It tasted good, the =
sprig of=20
mint bringing out the flavor in the tea.
The gated pool =
entrance swung=20
open and Mistress Ambrosia strolled in with Hal in tow. She had a =
strong grip=20
on his arm and she pulled him quite forcefully towards =
them.
"C'mon,=20
you little shit," she said.
"Ow, Amber!" Hal's face contorted in=20
pain.
"Shut up already!"
"Good morning you two," Mistress =
Ambrosia=20
said with a smile. "Look who I found hiding out with the =
gators."
"And I want you to have this." =
Hal=20
handed them what looked like a tuber. "It's the root. It'll help =
you... I=20
don't know... get all old again."
"Well, not quite like that, =
but good=20
enough I say," Mistress Ambrosia said.
Scully took it in her =
hand and=20
stared at it. She didn't know what to say.
"Thank you," she =
finally=20
managed.
"Did he call you Amber?" Mulder asked.
Mistress =
Ambrosia=20
sighed. She paused.
"All right," she said in a perfect southern =
accent.=20
"My real name's Amber and I'm not Jamaican. Happy, =
pal?"
Mulder held=20
up his hands in defense. Hal was grinning like a doofus.
"I =
didn't=20
mean anything---"
"I'm really am psychic you know," she shot=20
back.
"I believe you--"
"And congratulations, by the way," =
she=20
interrupted. "I gotta go to work. Damn. Now I'm depressed." She =
walked off,=20
pulling Hal in tow.
"Hey! What did you mean by that?" Mulder=20
yelled.
He turned toward Scully.
"What did she mean by=20
that?"
Scully shrugged. Was there a hint of a smile on her face?=20
"You got me, mon," she said in a nice approximation of a=20
Jamaican accent.
As soon as Hal and Amber left, Dom walked in =
carrying=20
two paper sacks worth of groceries. He struggled trying to open =
the pool=20
gate and looked as if he was going to drop everything on the ground. =
Mulder=20
got up to help him just as Dom finally got it open.
"Dom!" he =
said=20
excitedly. Scully sat up too, taking off her sunglasses. She felt a=20
nervousness in her stomach, knowing that the tests were in those=20
sacks.
"Hey Fox. Dana. See you met up with that no-good brother=20
of mine."
"Yeah. He gave us this," Mulder said holding up the =
root.=20
"I'm not so sure we'll be using it though. Did you get =
them?"
Dom=20
nodded, just as excited as they were. He sat down the sacks on a =
small glass=20
table next to them.
"Yup. Just got 'em in this morning. I didn't =
know=20
what to get so I got a bunch of different kinds. Ordered 'em off of =
that=20
yahoo.com and had 'em overnight ship. Got ya some food =
too."
He=20
reached into the bag and pulled out a big bag of pancake mix and a =
bag of=20
Nestl=E9's chocolate chips.
"MMmmmm! God that sounds so good!" Scully said=20
appreciatively.
Dom cackled, happy to be of help.
"I gotta =
go.=20
Judge Judy is on in an hour. Now you'll let me know, won't =
ya?"
"Yes,=20
Dom, definitely," Scully said. "If anything happens I'll call my =
mother=20
first, but after that it'll be you. I can't thank you enough for all =
of your=20
help."
"Think nuthin' of it. I'm never had customers as =
interesting=20
as you two before. Hell, I barely have any customers at =
all!"
Hal=20
snorted, started to leave, then stopped.
"Oh, I almost forgot. =
There's=20
more of that beer in there that you like, Fox."
Mulder tried =
to look=20
pleased. "Ohhh! Thanks!" Scully grinned at him.
Dom waved and =
left.=20
Mulder reached into the bag and pulled out a handful of pregnancy =
tests.=20
There were multi-packs of First Response, e.p.t., and Clearblue=20
Easy.
"Dom doesn't fuck around, does he?"
"Guess not," =
Scully=20
answered, examining them all. Mulder laid them all out on the table =
and felt=20
anxious.
"When can we do this, Scully?" he asked for the third or =
fourth time this week.
"First thing in the morning, Mulder," =
she said=20
laying her hand on his. "I know. I can't wait either."
He =
smiled, but=20
looked agitated. "Man, why am I so nervous? I faced down serial =
killers and=20
liver-eating mutants. Now I look at these little sticks and I'm=20
terrified."
"Well, Mulder, I understand. Becoming a parent is a =
big=20
step. It's frightening, actually."
"It's not that Scully. I'm=20
terrified that it's going to be negative. I want this so bad,=20
Scully."
"I know Mulder," she said squeezing his hand. "You know =
I want=20
it too. God, think of it. Can you picture me? Pregnant at =
16?"
"It is=20
a weird thought... but you're not an ordinary sixteen year old, you =
know.=20
We're probably the most financially, emotionally and academically =
stable=20
teenagers on the planet. We have degrees. I got money from my =
inheritance.=20
Not to mention two houses to choose from. You have your mom for =
support. We=20
ain't doin' too bad."
"And each other, Mulder. We have each =
other,"=20
she said, her eyes locking onto his.
"Damn right," he said. =
"Let's get=20
out of this sun,"Mulder stood and pulled her up. She wobbled for a =
second,=20
then grabbed him by the arm for support.
"Geez, Mulder, my =
legs are=20
still weak. Maybe we should, you know, take a break." Her eyes darted =
up to=20
his.
"I'm not wearing you out am I?" he said with a glint in his=20
eye. She shot him a look. "Ok, ok. I guess you can take a break.=20
For now."
"Oh, you give *me* permission now?," she said =
playfully.=20
"Don't make me push you in the water again, pool-boy."
"Name =
calling,=20
Scully?" Mulder crossed his arms like a stern teacher. "Really. Now =
that is=20
so immature. I only have one thing to say to that." Mulder paused=20
dramatically. "I'm rubber, you're glue, Whatever you say bounces off =
me and=20
sticks to you!"
Scully, giggling, grabbed her weapon of choice, =
the=20
Styrofoam pink pool noodle and chased him.
"I'm going to beat =
you=20
senseless, Mulder!"
"I thought you said you needed a break!" he =
answered=20
laughing and took off.
............
NEXT =
MORNING
Mulder=20
sat up in bed with a start. My god. Morning. He stayed up almost the =
whole=20
night, a nervous wreck, unable to sleep. Finally around 4:30 he had =
dozed=20
off. He checked the clock. 5:46. The space next to him was =
empty. He=20
brushed his hand feeling the indentation of where Scully had been =
laying.=20
Mulder saw the light seeping out from the bottom crack of the =
bathroom door.=20
Damn. I guess this is it.
The sun was rising too. A new day. A =
new=20
life? He hoped. And then he did something reserved only for the =
devout or the=20
scared shitless. He prayed.
God, he thought. Sometimes I =
question your=20
existence. But if you're out there, please, give me... give us... =
this one=20
thing. There has to be a reason, right? A reason we're in the=20
situation that we're in. Please let that reason be a baby. Please. =
Give=20
us this.
The bathroom door swung open and Scully stepped out, =
dressed=20
in a nightshirt. She came to him, holding out the test. He felt =
sick to=20
his stomach.
"Mulder?" she asked, trembling. "You =
awake?"
"Yes,"=20
he said, his voice dry and cracking.
She stepped into the light =
and he=20
could see that tears were streaming down her face. She was smiling, =
the=20
fullest smile that Mulder had ever seen on her. She gave him the=20
stick.
"Two blue lines, Mulder! Two blue lines!"
Mulder =
got up,=20
getting more excited. Did this mean?
"It's positive Mulder. I've =
tried=20
three of them now. All the same. I'm pregnant!"
He let out a =
laugh and=20
embraced her. His vision blurred. Mulder felt the tears roll down his =
cheeks.=20
He wiped them away easily, but he couldn't get the dopey grin off his =
face to=20
save his life. They held each other and felt the last seven years =
melt away.=20
All the stupid mistakes, all the missed opportunities, all the =
things that=20
they had wanted to say and didn't-- all these things were erased and =
redeemed=20
by a love given a second chance.
Mulder glanced =
upward.
"Thank=20
you," he mouthed=20
silently.
