Going Home Happy
In Pleasanton, Mulder drove his rental car passed Amador Valley High School
and parked in the horseshoe driveway in front of the office.
"So now what?" Allison asked, as she looked around.
"I don't know. What did you say happened to you before you ended up in my
apartment?" Mulder asked.
"I had gotten into a car accident and was knocked out."
"Well, I guess we have to knock you out again." Mulder said. Allison looked at
him in fright.
"Oh no you're not. I'm not about to let you knock me over the head with
anything." She said defensively.
"I still have the chloroform with me…" Scully said as she produced the bottle.
Allison looked cautiously at it.
"So you're saying that if you knock me out, I'll wake up at home."
"Assumedly. That is if you warned us about the right thing." Scully said.
"According to Issac Asmov anyway" Allison shrugged.
"Anything to go home, I guess." She was inwardly rather sad. She had had fun
with Mulder and Scully the past day. She almost wished she couldn't ever go back. But
all good things have to come to an end and aside from that it would be a pain to
constantly have Alex Krycek trying to kidnap you. But then, maybe it wouldn't be so
terrible after all.
Scully poured the chemical into a cloth.
"Well, I guess this is farewell." Allison said to the two agents. Mulder nodded,
smiled and gave Allison a hug good bye. She melted into his arms and thought she would
die right then and there. But thankfully, she didn't and when he released her Eric was
laughing like a fool. "I'll see you tomorrow at school." Allison said warningly and Scully
walked over to give her the cloth when Mulder stopped her.
"Wait, if this doesn't work and you're still here when you wake up, call me."
Mulder gave her his cell phone number on a little slip of paper, and Allison put it into her
pocket. Then Scully placed the cloth over her nose and mouth and bide Allison good bye.
When she woke up, it was in her own bed at home in Pleasanton. She sighed and
looked up at her ceiling, remembering her hug from Mulder. She smiled sadly, knowing
that she'd probably never see them again. She looked at her clock, and it read 9:00. She
jumped up in shock. 9:00 meant she had just slept through physics class and her term
paper wasn't even done. She threw off the blankets and ran out of her room. Everyone in
her house was still asleep. Confused, she looked at her watch on her dresser. It was
yesterday morning. She sat down quietly, not being able to understand what had
happened.
"Maybe it was all a dream." She muttered to herself, "Maybe I never left the
house or got into a car accident and ended up in Mulder's apartment. Or even got a hug
from him, or his cell phone number…" Suddenly her eyes lit up and she raced to her
closet and grabbed the pants she had put the number into. She reached into the pocket and
touched a slip of paper. She pulled it out, and on it was Mulder's number. She smiled
brightly; knowing that everything was true, knowing that when she watched the X-files
tonight, that Mulder would be there. She picked up the phone to call Eric to see if he had
gotten home alright.
