COURTSHIP OF MY SCULLY

COURTSHIP OF MY SCULLY

There was a period of time shortly after the death of Mulder's mother, Mulder went on a downward spiral. Who could blame him really? It didn't take a genius to figure out that he was the last Mulder on this Earth. And his biological need to procreate was starting to surface.

Mulder took finished another beer, "Hey barkeep." He called out, "Another beer… Ah stuff it, surprise me."

"Haven't you had enough?" The bartender asked. He was right, Mulder was just about off his feet drunk.

"I don't think so." Mulder said, "I'm getting a wife tonight. Well uh a fiancée anyway."

"That's it." The bartender said, "One more."

"Make it a double." Mulder took the drink and drunk it down quickly.

Mulder eventually stumbled to the apartment complex where Scully lived. He tried to throw a rock to her third story window but was way off course, "Scully?! Scully?!" Mulder called out and hoping his voice would reach that far, "Scully?!"

"Do you know what time it is?!" A male voice called down.

"No… What time is it?!" Mulder shouted back.

"Shut up!" The man shouted back.

"You shut up!" Mulder shouted, "Scully! Come to the window!"

Scully awoke from a sleep. She swore that someone was calling her name from outside the window and now two men were arguing. When the man called her name again she opened the window.

"Mulder?" She asked.

"What?!" Mulder asked, "Scully is that you?!" He grabbed a crate and attempted to stand on it.

"Are you drunk?!" Scully asked.

"You were called a skeptic Scully!" Mulder almost fell off the crate but managed to steady himself, "But the truth is I was a skeptic of our relationship!" A couple of people walked by on the footpath and laughed at him, "Don't worry, I'm Agent Fox Mulder of the FBI. But Scully! I'm a believer!"

"Sober up Mulder!" Scully said, "You're not making any sense!"

"Scully!" Mulder called out, "I thought love was only true in fairy tales! Meant for everyone else but not for me!" He sung the famous monkees tune at the top of his lungs, "Love's out to get me that's the way it seemed! But then I saw her face and I'm a believer, not a trace of doubt on my mind… I couldn't leave her even if I-" Mulder fell off the crate and landed in the bush.

"Would you shut up?!" The man shouted.

"Go away!" Mulder yelled back as he stood back on the crate, "There'll be no strings to bind your hands. Not if my love can find your heart and there's no need to take a stand." He sung again this time Angel of the Morning, "For it was I who choose to start, I see no need to take me home." He struggled to keep his balance again, "I'm old enough to face the dawn!"

"Mulder!" Scully called back, "Stop being silly! This isn't funny!"

"Just cause you're my angel of the morning angel!" Mulder continued, "Just allow me touch your cheek before I leave you Scully! Just cause you're my angel of the morning Angel! Then always turn to me…"

"Mulder!" Scully laughed as he fell off the crate again, "Are you alright!"

"I love you Scully!" Mulder called, "I always have! You've been my guiding light!"

"Oh how sweet!" The man shouted.

"Shut up!" Mulder shouted back, "I'm an FBI Agent! Scully! Will you marry me?!"

"For God's sake Mulder!" Scully said, "Get up here!"

Mulder's eyes glistened in the moonlight, they shone brightly as he ran up to his partner's door and he knocked hard, "Hey!" Mulder shouted, "I love you. It's no lie."

"Who are you?" An old lady asked.

"Who are you?" Mulder asked, "You're not Scully."

"Mulder!" Scully said from her door.

"Oh shit." Mulder said, "Wrong door."

He ran to Scully and she showed him the way in. She's seen him drunk before, but this has to be the drunkest she's ever seen him. Mulder closed the door behind him. Scully knocked on the door, "Who is it?" Mulder asked.

"It's Scully." Let me in.

"Scully who?"

"Mulder…" Scully said.

Mulder opened the door and let her in, "Scully-Mulder sounds really nice."

"Mulder… How much have you had to drink?"

"I stopped counting after six." Mulder said, "But that's not the point. Dana Katherine Scully?" He got onto one knee and presented a box and tried to open it. Scully was shocked that Mulder used her full name. Finally Mulder pried open the box, "Dana Katherine Scully. Will you do me the honor of being my wife."

Her jaw dropped open. She knew that he has not been the same after his mother died but she couldn't say yes, "No Mulder." She said.

His eyes looked hurt but he just shrugged his shoulders, "Oh well." He stood up and kissed her but the smell of alcohol repulsed her and instinctively she smacked him, "Ouch." He said, "I heard love hurts, but come on."

"Mulder…" Scully said. She eased him on the couch where he promptly passed out.

A/N: Well I was thinking of this today… I just had to write it.
