Scully's New Year's Date "Scully's New Year Date" by Monster X-13, inspiration by a lot of others. Rated PG for Adult situations. Non-Mulder romance for Scully. It's pretty weird. Disclaimers not used beacuse No one at FOx ever reads this stuff anyway! You asked for it.... ----------------------------------- Agent Dana Scully was sitting at her kitchen table reading the morning paper when the phone rang. Narrowly avoiding knocking over her coffee, she answered. "Scully residence..." The voice on the other end of the phone squeaked out "Uhhhh... Agent...Scully...??? Uhhhh, Hi... this is Agent... uh, Pendrell...calling... "Yes, Agent Pendrell? Is this about those sample specimens I sent up yesterday?" Pendrell's voiced cracked. "Uhhh...no...it's something else..I wanted...to ask...you..." His voice began to rise in pitch. "Well, I wanted...to ask...you..." "Ask me what, Pendrell?" she replied, getting slightly amused at Pendrell's squeaky voice. "DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE FBI NEW YEARS EVE PARTY WITH ME???" A silence was cast over the phone after Pendrell finally blurted out his intent. Scully was taken aback at Pendrell's question, but managed to answer him. "Well, Pendrell, I wasn't thinking of going anyway..." "It's Mulder, right?" Pendrell stammered sadly. "You're already decide to go with him, right? You wouldn't have want me anyway, right? I'm such a doof." Scully suddenly felt sorry for Pendrell. She did like im, but only in a friendly, professional way. At least none of the office wags talked about her & Pendrell the way they did with her and Mulder. Maybe this was a way to combat that gossip. "Uh, no, Pendrell, I was not at all even thinking of going with Mulder to the party. But if you'd like, maybe we can at least show up there together..." Another silence met Scully over the phone for several seconds and then, "Y-y-you mean, y-y-you said...`YES'??" Scully smiled. "Yes, Pendrell, I mean yes. Well, just that fact that we'll be going there together. I don't mean to imply anything else....right now... "Great! Uh, you realized it's a costume party?" Scully rolled her eyes. *Damn! I forgot that was the reason I wasn't going in the first place* She grinned shyly "Uh, yes, I remembered that. But I don't have a costume." "Well, all I have an old Cookie Monster costume from years back I might be able fix up... but I'll be glad to pay for your costume rental..." LATER>>>> IN THE BASEMENT.... Scully entered the Basement offices she shared with her partner Fox Mulder. He was perusing the latest issue of "Adult Video News" when she walked in. "Looking to find a date for the FBI New Years Costume Party?" Scully said blankly, but giggling inside. Mulder looked up from his magazine. "I'm looking right now, Scully..." he grinned sardonically. "Well, too late, Mulder. Agent Pendrell in the Forensic Lab already asked me to go with him to the party." Mulder shrugged and replied "Oh, that's nice Scully", but then softly added "Cerulean Blue... You really like the color...Cerulean Bluuuuu...." As Scully opened the file on her desk she said "You know, I think I wear something...blue... I like the color blue..." "That's even nicer, Scully... Cerulean Bluuuuuu.... Just like you going to wear if I was taking you...in Cerulean Blue..." "Yeah...if you were taking me..." "Yessssss, Cerulean Blue...just like you'd be wearing when you're going to the New Years Party with meeeeee....in Cerulean Blue....just like you promised in October...Cerulean Bluuuuue..." "You know, Mulder, I just remembered! You and I were going to the party! I promised you back in October." "You'd better go tell... Cerulean Blue.... Agent Pendrell that you...Cerulean Blue....already asked me... Cerulean Blue..." Scully excused herself and left the room, apologizing for making such a grave error. Mulder smiled and put the "Pusher" file back in the drawer and went back to his Adult Video News. LATER>>>> BACK AT THE LAB..... When Scully neared the FBI Forensics Lab, she could hear Pendrell whistling "Love Me a Lady Tonight". She stopped. *How can I do this?* she thought. *He'll be Crushed and all because of my promise to Mulder last October--- I think it was October.* "Uh, Agent Pendrell?" she asked pensively as she entered the lab. "DANA!" Pendrell squeaked out after realizing it was her. "Uh, Hello Agent Scully! Anything I can do for..... you?" "Uh, Agent Pendrell...I hate to say this...but I need to back down on that New Years gig..." Pendrell's previously grinning mouth fell in silence. Scully started trying to explain. "Uh, well, you see, I, I, I already promised my Mom to spend the night with her...and watch...uh, The Guy Lombardo Band on PBS..." Pendrell was choking back is disappointment. "Uh, Ok, I guess...that's....okay.... with... IT's MULDER, isn't it?!? You and him are...are... A COUPLE, Right?!?" He was clearly upset. Scully was taken aback "No, it's not that all, I rea..." Pendrell buried his face in his hands. "I already called your Mom... I wanted to ask if you were allergic to any flowers I was going to buy for you..." Scully turned red as her auburn hair. "Oh...Pendrell...I'm so, so sorry.... I shouldn't have lied... it's just that I...THINK... I promised Mulder two months ago that I'd be his...his... escort. I think..." She put her hand on Pendrell's shoulder. "I'm so sorry... maybe we could do lunch...next year..." Pendrell didn't respond. "Maybe I should leave..." Scully trailed off as she left the room. After the door closed, Pendrell broke down and cried at his desk. He didn't notice when Holly, the FBI Secretary who walloped Skinner with her shoe, came in the back door with an overnight package..... LATER>>>>>> AT THE NEW YEARS COSTUME PARTY..... Scully was wearing Melissa's old Grateful Dead concert tie- die shirt, multi-patched jeans, sandals, and blue grannie glasses; but she still felt sorry for poor Pendrell. Mulder was wearing his trenchcoat and fedora since he was no costumer. They were sitting alone at their table, quiet and bored, while wild laughter and music surrounded them. Mulder asked. "Do you want an Iced Tea?" "Sure." said Scully with a slight grin. "Well, while you're at it, get me one too." "Mulderrrrrrrr...." growled Scully. Then Skinner, decked out in his old Marine uniform showed up with his date, an exotic Asian girl dressed up as a very exotic-looking, slinky vampire. "Agent Mulder, Agent Scully, this is my date, Annisa Mercado. She's a Radio station programmer. We just met last week through a computer dating service." "Charmed...." purred Annisa. She looked back at Skinner. "...when can we get back your place, baby?" Scully eyebrow went up. Something else of Mulder's went up as well. He thought he should have brought that Pusher file. "Nice uniform, Director Skinner." said Scully plainly. "Thanks, Agent Scully. It was Attorney General Janet Reno's idea. She has all the other assistant directors and I doing a song & dance routine... Bill Jacobs is a Cowboy, Harry Weinhard is a Construction Worker. Joe Dobbs over there is a Biker, Bert Youngblood is an Indian, and George Leochester is a cop." "Can't wait." sighed Mulder. The evening went that way for a half hour. Skinner & Annisa flirted with each other, but Scully & Mulder just whined at each. Then, Scully noticed a big crowd laughing across the ballroom. "Look! It's Pendrell!" Mulder looked over. The crowd was going nuts. A Big Blue furry guy in a deep sea diving helmet was entertaining the growing crowd around him. "How do you know it's Pendrell?" "Because he used to have a Cookie Monster costume. Big Blue fur suit equals Cookie Monster. The Deep Sea Diving helmet I cannot explain." "Looks like he's having a great time." quipped Mulder. Scully glared back at Mulder. "Yeah! Having a great time... WITHOUT ME!" She turned to Mulder angrily "He asked me first, I said yes, then you convinced me to say no, and now I'm BORED and He's Having Fun!" She threw back her iced tea, dumped the ice in Mulder's lap, and got up. "I'm going to go see if he'll take me back, Mulder!" To which, she did. Skinner & Annisa were too busy making out to notice. When Scully approached the costumed Pendrell, he greeted her with open furry arms. Mulder sighed. His chances for scoring tonight were ruined. Mulder stared at Scully & The Big Blue Furry Pendrell for the next hour. They were dancing up a storm; doing the Watusi, the Madison, the Shocked Tuna, and the Bump. Soon, Pendrell was throwing Scully high in the air and catching her as she laughed outrageously. The crowd loved it. Skinner broke away from his facelock on the obviously satisfied Ms. Mercado, and looked at the source of the happy crowd noise and said, "Pardon me Mulder, but your partner seems to found someone cooler to hang with." Mulder consigned himself to the fact that Scully & Pendrell made a happier couple then he and she could. He buried his head in his hands. "Yeah, that stupid Pendrell is just the life of the party." "Excuse Me, Agent Mulder. I'm the what? Mulder & Skinner turned and looked up, horror in their faces. It was Pendrell. He was with Holly the secretary, both wearing Classic Star Trek uniforms. Mulder's jaw dropped, and Skinner grimaced, remembering his last lose encounter with Holly, particularly in the fact she was wearing knee length, black leather go-go boots. "But, but, but Scully said you were wearing a big blue furry suit!" yelled Mulder panic-stricken. Pendrell looked bewildered. "That? Oh, I haven't been able to get into that since the 5th Grade. No, Holly made this nifty Star Trek uniform for me, since she has the Official paramount Uniform patterns." Holly grinned as she took Pendrell's arm. "I've been a Trekker since I was 4 years old! I had no idea that Pendrell was a big Trek fan, too! I'm so glad we met!" She and Pendrell smiled wide as she tightened her grip on his arm. "And all because Scully was your date, Mulder!" Mulder was panic stricken as he turned around. "Scully!" She and the Blue Furry Suit were no where in sight. "Oh My Gawd! Scully's in danger!" he squealed. After racing over to the crowd, Mulder learned that Scully & the Blue Furry Costumed person had carried the giggling Scully to the Elevators. So Mulder, Skinner, Annisa, Pendrell, and Holly all searched the building, but found no Scully! Mulder said "To the Roof!" , vision of her eminate demise in his mind. *The Effect of that dang Pusher hypnosis!* he thought. There, they found Scully lying on a giant pile of pink bubbles, naked under a silver blanket smoking a Cigarette. A Giant Flying Saucer was overhead. The Big Furry Person with a Diving Helmet was waving goodbye out an open hatch. "What happened?" everybody cried out. "I just had the greatest romantic experience of my life..." Scully sighed exhaustedly. "... with MONSTER X-13!!!!" Mulder fainted. Pendrell & Holly smooched and went back to the party. Skinner & Annisa went to his partment. Scully just laughed all night long. The End Hey Monster X-13 can Dream, eh? All comments to: RJCHRISTEN@aol.com
