"So, off to be declared insane?" Elle chuckled the next morning as X came out of the bathroom fumbling with his tie.
"Oh, pipe down!" X grumbled as he glared at his partner. This mess was entirely her fault! He couldn't believe that that movie hadn't offered some hints for getting rid of her. If he wasn't thrown into the MiB mental ward, he was going to have to sneak out later and find a book on ghosts. Surely someone had wrote something about getting rid of them!
"Better be nice to me, X," Elle said with a smile. "Don't you want me to wake up and tell everyone that you aren't crazy? If you don't shape up, I'm going to have to complain to Zed about you abusing me."
X glared at her but didn't say anything this time. All he needed was for her to come out of that coma and then tell Zed that he had been mean to her. Of course, everone would be on the human's side and wouldn't bother listening to how she had tormented him. He turned and stalked out the door, heading for the medical lab.
"Wait up!" Elle called as she hurried after him.
"What are you doing here? Why aren't you sleeping in like you've done for the last two days?" X muttered.
"I didn't want to get stuck in your room if you got commited," Elle said. "I could starve!"
"I highly doubt that would happen. I've lifted you before. You could stand to loose a few pounds! Just don't go into the medical lab! Go visit yourself or something!" X said as he stalked away from Elle and hurried into the lab, shutting the door so she couldn't follow him. All he needed was to have that ghost lurking around, making him look crazier than ever.

A little while later, Elle followed Jay into Zed's office. She had already visited her body and there really wasn't much else for her to do in her current state. Oh, she wished that someone besides X could see her!
"So, have you decided what to do about X yet?" Jay asked Zed.
"Yes. He's going to be sent back to the Jeedang galaxy as soon as I can arrange transport. I don't care how much the Alien Rights Commission complains! An agent hurting their partner is totally unacceptable!"
"Hurting....? Wait a minute! You can't think X hurt me!" Elle cried as she stared at them in shock. "Are you all out of your minds? Maybe you better get down to the medical lab and let Zeeltor check you out too!"
"So, what's going to happen to Elle now that she doesn't have a partner?"
"She'll be assigned to the lab again," Zed told Jay.
"The lab!!" Elle shrieked. "No way!! You people are crazier than you think X is!! You can't just get rid of my partner and stuff me back into the lab without even consulting me!!" She stormed around the office grabbing at things, hoping to make them notice her. When that didn't work, she stalked over to the door and stormed out. "I'm going to get X!!"
