TITLE: Pencil, Earthling? AUTHOR: jeri E-MAIL: ggal1116@yahoo.com OR agentjeri@thexfiles.com WEBSITE: http://www.geocities.com/jeris_basement/index/html RATING: PG-13 CATEGORY: XRA, M-POV KEYWORDS: MSR, post-ep SPOILERS: Requiem ARCHIVE: Sure, just drop me a line! STARTED: September 19, 2000 FINISHED: September 19, 2000 SUMMARY: It's time for the great escape! Sequel to "Abduct This!" and "Run Agent Run!" **DISCLAIMER: Still don't own them. And I *really* need to find better things to do with my time... ^*^*^ ::Previously, on the X-Files:: :: "Agent Mulder, they don't want to let you go," he announces in a low voice. "What?!" I'm stunned. What use could I possibly be now? "Why not?" "They feel that your powers and quick learning abilities could come in handy at unknown points in the future. To put you back now, then take you again, would only cause unwanted attention. They feel that it's just easier to cryogenically freeze you to hold access to your brain." "You're fucking with me." Damn, that's twice in five hours (I think) that I've used that word! A new record for me! "I assure you, Agent Mulder, if you do not escape when we drop off the other Oregonians, you will never leave. So here is what I suggest: "Run, Agent. Run.":: ^*^*^ Oh great. So now, if I want to get back to my family (hey, I've got a family again!), I've got to haul ass and hope that none of Luke/Eddie/BF's friends find me ever again No problem. Sure. Fine. Whatever. (Yes, I do miss Scully *that* much.) He's turned around and walked away, so I guess I'm gonna have to find my own way out. Goody. Luckily, I began finding my way around twenty minutes ago, so there's that much less to deal with. Down the corridor was the kitchen...so, up this way must be the mess hall? I walk around a bit more, and find out that I'm right. I wonder where I gained this knowledge of alien spacecraft? Suddenly, a voice rings in my head. LskywalkJK: agent mulder i suggest that you let us help you out go to the room with the other men and women from oregon SenorSpooky: um okay I do as I'm told (for once) and trudge back to the waiting room. There's an empty seat for me, between Theresa and Billy. BillyBoy42: hiya agent mulder SenorSpooky: um hi billy why are you thinking to me why don't you just talk BillyBoy42: we're not allowed to talk in here agent mulder they want us to perfect our mental skills SenorSpooky: well can you at least call me mulder i mean this is rather informal and all BillyBoy42: okay mulder i must say i didn't expect to see you here i expected to see agent scully SenorSpooky: heh same here billy i told her to stay in dc because i was afraid she'd end up in this position again i really wish i hadn't come either now BillyBoy42: but there was nothing you could do mulder if they wanted you they would have gotten you no matter what We're both mentally-silent as we consider this point. BillyBoy42: well uh how is scully feeling i noticed she wasn't looking so great that one day wasn't she dizzy or something SenorSpooky: um yeah she's feeling better it's nothing ser well i guess it is serious but not life-threatening at least BillyBoy42: that's good wouldn't want her to worry about you on top of an illness I have to hold back a laugh. She's probably got a mind *full* of things right now, and after our discussion, I'm probably the *last* thing on her mind. Which is fine with me. I can take care of myself, but the baby's completely helpless and relies on her for its health. BillyBoy42: baby i didn't know she had a baby is she married Doh! I have to remember that thinking is now way to keep something quiet around here... SenorSpooky: well actually she's pregnant she just found out that's what was causing her to be dizzy BillyBoy42: oh well when you see her send her my congratulations i mean it is a good thing right SenorSpooky: oh my god yes she didn't think she could have children i'm uh really happy for uh her BillyBoy42: it's your baby isn't it Damn the kid, he's got a wide smirk on his face. And when I simply nod in acknowledgement, it just gets wider. ^*^*^ I'd like to say that the abductees were dropped off a few hours later, and I snuck away with them, and that Scully and I and Junior Agent are safely tucked away where no aliens could ever find us. I'd *really* like to say that. But I'm a supporter of the Truth, and thusly I cannot tell a lie. I've been trapped in this alien craft for four months now. The only reason I'm still sane is the consistent conversations Scully and I have in our heads. I'm actually grateful for these damn powers. Funny, they're what got me into this mess in the first place. But I'm heartbroken over the fact that Scully is now in her seventh month. She constantly complains about the weight she's gained, a fact which I just as constantly claim to be a wonderful thing, how I wish I could see her... The good news, however, is that we're not needed anymore. They have officially taken the Master Baiter (who never did change his name) into custody, and the Rebellion has fallen. And from evidence gathered in Sthgincitlec, it seems the *Rebels* were the ones planning colonization all along. They were unhappy with the Shifters' way of life, and so they were planning to take over Earth and start their own race of hybrids that would be their slaves. Personally, I don't care who was gonna take over, just as long as they're out of business now. So in three days, we'll get to go home. Yes, even me. Luke has assured me that I will be able to get home in time for my son Thomas William's birth, and I will be allowed to live out my days on Earth as a father. I'm so happy. Of course, I'll be even happier when I'm home and a certain G-woman is in my arms again. THE END ^*^*^ No, the title really doesn't have any impact on the story. I happen to like that bit in X-Fools, thank you very much! (For those who don't know, when you click on the alien pencil- holder, it says "Pencil, Earthling?" to which Mully (Mulder- wannabe) replies "I really LOVE that thing!") And I suppose now you're all going to demand that I write a *fourth* story, aren't you? ggal1116: oh real good jer way to plant the idea in their heads Shut up. 4 out of 5 doctors say expressing your enjoyment of a fanfic to its author increases your life expectancy 23-23.8 years. The other doctor was killed by Cancerman before we could ask him. jeri, president, xpab: x-philes against bees Join by writing to: kill_em_all@thexfiles.com OR Visit the xpab site: http://www.geocities.com/jeris_basement/xpab.html And while you're there...
