Title: Failure to Comply Author: Poki the Alien Cat Rating: PG-13 for cursing and some science fiction... stuff

Summary: How do you get rid of the problem you need?

Disclaimer: All characters you know of from the show (Mulder, Scully, Doggett, Reyes, Skinner, Kersh, Harrison) are the genus products of Chris Carter and 1013 productions. This is not for profit, so don't sue me.

****Warning for loyal fans****: There is a lot of Doggett and Reyes and no sign of William. Although I would like Mulder and Scully to have a happy ending, like us all, having William does not fuel the story... Just... gives them the happy ending before the ending. Why keep going if they have what they want?

Chapter One: The End at the Beginning

My Sister being taken by the light.... My mother found dead by her own hand.. and my father by another.... I am the only one left, the one who survived.... until now.... I don't know where I am, but all I know is that I am covered by a strange goop, and I'm without clothing..... like I was born again. I rub my eyes, getting the mysterious substance out so I can open them, which I do. I look up, and around me are my companions, and my lover, all in the same condition as me..... What the hell happened to us??

The last thing I remember before I passed out again was a unnatural squeal, and the face of a monster.....

Chapter Two: 24 Hours before

"Why would he want me back?" I said, slurring. I had drunk about a six pack of beer, so I was very buzzed.

"I don't understand either, but I'm glad you refused. He is such an asshole," said Reyes, surprising everyone else as she took another sip of her beer, "and I'm so glad I quit the FBI also. They were doing nothing for the truth, they just wanted everything normal, they never wanted the truth."

Doggett chuckled in his corner, "I think we drank too much, I feel like I'm about to pass out."

"It's so worth it though, in celebration of freedom!"

"Yes, you should've seen the look on Kersh's face when we handed over our letters of resignation and left the office. He looked like an abandoned puppy!"

Scully wasn't talking, only looking out the window.... thinking.....

"Yeah, but why would he want us all back? Just so he could ignore our theories of aliens and UFO's again? The only reason I sacrificed my job to let Doggett keep his is because I wanted the truth and all the FBI was doing is getting rid of all my work."

They all looked to Mulder, nodding in agreement.

"Besides, we still have permits to have concealed weapons, we just have to buy them." he said, laughing, "We are still have to protect ourselves."

"But what about our lives?" said Scully out of the blue.

"Eh?"

"Haven't you ever thought about just having a normal life, settling down, having children?" Even though she seemed to be talking to all of them, she was mainly pointing the question towards Mulder, who she turned around to look at strait in the eyes.

Interesting question a voice unheard by them said.

Yes indeed...... We might be able to help her out though.

Exactly

"Well, I already tried that and my kid was taken from me, so I don't know if I can go through that heartbreak again." said Doggett, half asleep.

Mulder looked into Scully's eyes, seeing the emotion he saw there, and then gave his own opinion, "Ever since I saw my sister being taken by a light, I knew I could never have a normal life. Once you jump into the sandpit you can't get out very easily Scully," he smiled, "At least I have someone who can settle down with me in case I do survive the quicksand." And with that, took Scully's hand in his and smiled bigger, which made Scully giggle.

Harrison, watching over them all, was just sitting in the corner. She wasn't old enough to drink, but she could drive, so that made her designated driver.

"You know, that reminds me of a case where this man and woman were eaten by carnivore mushrooms and their remains was positioned so that they were still cuddling face to face." she said finally.

Everyone just looked over, the interjection she had giving not working.....

"Are you sure you haven't drunk also?" Said Reyes, making everyone else chuckle.

Why are we continuing listen to the conversation of drunken stupor?

You'll see....

"We should go to bed, if I stay up any longer it'll take a bomb to wake me up." said Doggett, "I'll probably have the headache the size of one too."

"Your right, we should go back to the hotel."

Mulder looked up to Harrison, "You remember the name? We might all be dead to the world by the time we get back."

Harison nodded, "Yep. Motel 6. Room number 12."

The bird has sung the song we want.

Let's get the information to our Boss.

Mulder nodded, and everyone, although half-asleep, wondered to the one car they rented, and went to rest for another unknown day of their lives.
