I wanted to post something for X-Mas, so here's a short, pointless diddy. It's my first XF fic, but definitely not my last!

It's Christmas at the Scully household and the whole family is at dinner. Bill won't stop glaring at Mulder, but Mulder's used to it by now. He takes Bill by surprise by smiling at him and saying "More turkey?".

It's snowing outside and Mulder drags Scully outside to play. They are the only ones who go outside to enjoy the snow. Bill shakes his head while Charlie smiles giddily.

Suddenly, the snow turns to rain and the snow on the ground melts away. Mulder is confused, but Scully keeps on playing.

"Come on, Mulder! Play!" Scully laughs. It doesn't sound like her.

It's hailing now in large chunks. Mulder is stung by the pelts.

"Scully! Inside! Hail!" Mulder shouts. Why can't Scully hear him?!

"Just a moment!"

"Scully!" Mulder screams. Scully is buried underneath the hail. He can't find her. The scene changes.

"Here lies Dana Katherine Scully..." Mulder can't believe it. How did this happen?

"You killed her, Mulder. You're a murderer!" Bill shouted, his eyes red. He advanced towards Mulder with a larger-than-normal baseball bat...

"I DIDN'T KILL HER!" Mulder woke up suddenly. What kind of dream was that?

"Mulder? Mulder?" Scully said, awakened by Mulder's sudden outburst. "Didn't kill who?"

Mulder suddenly remembered the events of last night. There was a case in Louisiana that needed immediate attention. Mulder and Scully got a motel room after a long day of investigating. It was Christmas eve...

"Scully! It's Christmas eve!"

"Yes. And I want to be home...but instead we are here. So thanks for rubbing that in my face." Scully rubbed at her eyes tiredly.

"I'm sorry, but you're not dead!" Mulder sounded too excited for this.

"No I'm not, but soon you will be." Scully forced herself up.

"Come on, cheer up Scullinator."

"If you call me that one more time, I will smack the brown out of your hair."

Mulder just smiled. He loved the holiday season.

There is a little drabble for you. Scullinator came from when my little sister and I were nicknaming everyone from X Files (Doggett- J Dog...Monica Reyes- MonRay....Scully- Scullinator....and Fox Mulder- Foxy). Reviews would make my Christmas!
