-1CHAPTER ONE: The Dib File
After my Invader Zim/X-Files crossover oneshot, some argued that I should do a full-length fic. Your prayers have been answered! And for those of you unfamiliar with the X-Files, this fic should make you sufficiently interested in finding copies of the show. I'll start you off with a short opening chapter, just to test the waters for you readers, and myself as well. If it goes over well enough, I'll continue the fic. If not, I may post it in the X-Files section anyway. Well, read and enjoy (hopefully), and please review.
F.B.I. Headquarters, Washington D.C.
Feb. 11, 9:30am
A man sat at a desk in a small, dimly lit office. The room's walls were plastered with pictures and photographs of UFO's, cryptozoological creatures, ghosts, and a large poster of a strange saucer-shaped object hovering over a wooded area with the words "I Want to Believe" below. Special agent Fox Mulder sat reading through a file, a small smile playing out on his face. His sleeves were rolled up, and his tie hung askew, his brown hair as disheveled as his wrinkled light blue shirt, a sign that he'd once again managed to spend a sleepless night musing over another X-File. He looked up as the door opened.
Special agent Dana Scully stepped into the room. Mulder had called her, saying simply that there was a case being opened, a case that, according to Mulder "May finally prove that we're not alone in the universe once and for all." She straightened the blazer of her dark purple pantsuit, and looked at Mulder's insomniac appearance.
"You called me, Mulder?" She asked professionally. Mulder smiled and stood.
"There are aliens among us, Scully." He said humorously. Scully sighed and rolled her eyes a bit. "And apparently, they're living in a house in suburbia, plotting on world domination."
"What are you talking about, Mulder?" Scully asked, lightly brushing a strand of her red hair out of her face.
"I was sent this file last night. Apparently there's an X-File being opened pertaining to the possible existence of an EBE, living in an inner city neighborhood, under the guise of a normal human child."
"And who exactly reported this to the FBI?" Scully asked skeptically. Mulder looked back at the file.
"A boy named Dib Membrane. He claims that he's been trying to expose the EBE as an alien for a year now, according to his last call."
"Last call?"
"Well apparently, this young man had made fourteen separate contacts with FBI regional and national headquarters, nine to NASA, and five calls to the Air Force with this claim, which has gone largely ignored until now."
"Have you ever thought about the possibility, Mulder…" Scully began. "That this boy is just making wild claims as a prank, or he just wants attention?"
"Scully," Mulder replied. "Kids prank call Dominoes Pizza for kicks. At the worst, they call in bomb threats to their schools to get out of final exams. Kids don't normally call the FBI, reporting an alien attack fourteen times in one year."
"Mulder, there's so much evidence out there to disprove that intelligent life from another planet has ever come in contact with the inhabitants of Earth. Why can't you let that evidence speak for itself?"
"Because there is so much evidence to the contrary that argues that alien beings have made contact. Scully, if this case is authentic, do you know what this could mean?"
"We could speculate about the sociological impact that such a discovery could have all we wanted, but…"
"Exactly." Mulder said with a confident grin. He looked at his watch. "You'd better pack. Our flight leaves in two hours. We're going to pay Dib, and this…" He flipped through a couple pages of the file."…Zim a little visit."
