Elle slowly opened her eyes and blinked as the harsh sunlight blinded her. 'What happened?' she thought as she rolled over onto her side to get the light out of her eyes and saw X knelling in a hole in the sand. She pulled herself to her knees and slowly crawled over. She felt too sick to try to get to her feet.

Elle was shocked when she peered in the hole and saw X kneeling beside her body. He lifted her hand up and stared curiously at it for a second, flicking at her nail.

"That's not nail polish, you idiot!" Elle shrieked at him when she saw the blue tinge. "I'm not breathing! Do something!!"

Suddenly X looked up. "Agent Elle?" he said as he glanced from her to the body he was kneeling beside and back again. "I could have sworn there weren't two of you a little while ago."

"There aren't two of me," Elle muttered. This was just great. She was dying and she was stuck with this idiot! "Well, don't just stand there! Help me!"

"Help you with what? You seem fine to me," X said.

"Fine?! You really are insane, aren't you?" Elle cried. "I'm dying! Do something!"

"Dying? You look fine. Ugly of course but that's only to be expected with a human," X said as Elle slipped into the hole and knelt beside the body.

"Not me! Me!" she said as she pointed to her body. She was frightened to see how pale her skin was and the dark blue color of her lips. Not good at all and this alien was just sitting there wasting valuable time. "Do something!!"

Now X was beginning to notice something unusual about the Elle that was yelling at him. He could see right through her. "You weren't transparent before, were you?"

"No!" she spat at him. Why was he asking such stupid questions. "I'm having a near death experience or something!" She glanced down at her body again. "That's the real me. This is just my spirit. You have to do something now!"

"Fine," X said. He would do anything to stop her from complaining. "What do you want me to do?"

"Okay. First, get me out of this hole," Elle said as she climbed out with X following carrying her body. "and be careful! I'm very attached to that body! Don't hurt it!"

"Humans," X muttered as he laid Elle on the ground and knelt beside her.

Elle glared at her partner as she dropped to the ground beside her body. She was suddenly thinking she should have wrote out a will before leaving headquarters. She looked at X again. Why was he just sitting there? They didn't have time to waste. Suddenly, a horrifying thought occured to her. "You don't know first aid, do you?"

"For humans? No," X said as Elle slumped miserably to the ground. She really really wished she had wrote that will.
