Mulder looked over at his sleeping partner. He just HAD to bug her
about her driving skills again.
"SCULLY!!" Mulder yelled at her. "I'm bored."
"Then concentrate on your DRIVING, and let me SLEEP," she whined.
"I HAVE been, but that's boring!!"
"I'll think of you when I'm sleeping, maybe I'll zap you into my
dream."
"There's an idea Scully, but I'm not going to let you sleep!!"
He put on the radio, which just happened to be playing heavy metal.
"MULDER! TURN THAT OFF!!!" Scully yelled.
"WHAT?!" Mulder asked, not being able to hear her over the noise.
Scully reached over and turned off the radio. "Why the hell did
you put THAT on!"
"It woke you up, didn't it?"
"Yeah..." Scully muttered. "Better than a cold shower."
"Scul-ly," Mulder whined. "I'm still bored!!!"
"Want me to drive for awhile?" She asked.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
"Why not? That tree jumped out in front of me! I swear!"
"With all that we've seen, jumping trees isn't one of them."
Mulder said, trying to be the skeptic. Scully stuck her tongue
out at him.
"It wasn't my fault!" She yelled.
"Changing the subject, you wanna play truth or dare?" Mulder asked,
quickly.
"I thought you didn't want to play that anymore."
"I changed my mind. Truth or dare, Scully?"
"Dare..."
"I dare you to... stick your head out the window, and bark and
pant like a dog."
Scully shot Mulder a dirty look, and rolled down her window.
She stuck her head out the window. "Um... Bark, bark?"
"I meant a REAL bark!" Mulder complained.
"I'm sorry, Queequeg isn't here anymore."
"Scully, you have to do it or I win!"
"Woof, woof!" She said sheepishly.
"You forgot to pant!" Mulder reminded her. Scully began to
pant out the window. "Awwwww... That deserves a treat! I've got
some milkbones!" Mulder joked.
"Oh, so you've given up on sunflower seeds, have you?" Scully asked,
pulling her head back inside and rolling up the window.
"No... Milkbones taste REALLY bad."
"I bet you know that from personal experience."
"I choose dare... but one milkbone in a lifetime is enough for me."
Scully thought for a moment. "Alright, I dare you to let me drive."
"But Scully! We need this car in one piece when we bring it back to the
rental place!"
"Okay than... I win!" She said, happily. Mulder pulled over.
"Your turn to drive." He said, sadly. She got in the driver's seat.
"But first, do you happen to have a rosary with you?"
"MULDER!" She yelled. "I'm a perfectly fine driver."
"Sure, fine, whatever. Now, what do you pick?"
"Truth."
"Good... I couldn't really give you a good dare while you're driving,
now could I?"
"Just drop it, alright Mulder?"
"Do you dream about me?"
"Why the hell would I do that?! I get enough nightmares as it is."
"Scully! That was mean!"
"Well, you've been bugging me about my driving all night, so we're
even! Truth of dare?"
"Truth."
"Was there ever a time when you were a skeptic?"
"NO, NEVER, NOT A CHANCE!" He yelled, than sniffled. "How could
you ever think such a thing?"
"Alright Mulder... A bit sensitive much?"
"Wow Scully! I didn't know you talked like a valley girl!"
"Like, of course I do!" Scully said, whipping her hair back.
"Now, you're just scaring me... watch where you're going... there's an
old man crossing the road."
"I know Mulder... I wasn't going to hit him! Dare..."
"I dare you to let me have a break from your driving. Pull into that
shopping center."
"Now, THAT was a crappy dare, Mulder..."
"I wanted to go shopping." He said, snikering.
"Alright, we'll go SHOPPING." She said, pulling into the parking lot.
~~~X~~~
"I still don't see why you dared me to buy a dress..." Scully said,
confused.
"Neither do I... it just felt like something I should make you do."
"Maybe I just have dared YOU to buy a dress." Scully joked.
"Yeah... I can see it now... Me running around in a little pink tutu."
Mulder started to laugh.
"What is your secret dream to star in a Annie Lennix music video?"
Scully asked.
"Annie who?"
"Never mind..." They sat down on a bench, while Mulder ate a ice cream
cone. "Truth or dare, Mulder?" Scully asked.
"Uh, truth."
"Do you love me, ROMANTICLY?"
"If I told you, I'd have to kill you."
"Than, I win! I WIN!!!!! YAY!!!" Scully yelled, happily skipping
around the food court. Mulder sighed.
"No, you don't..." He said. She came back over to him. "I do have some
attraction to you ROMANTICLY, but only because I'm a man and you're a
woman and there bound to be some attraction there... Besides, you're
talking to a guy who spends his time watches porno movies."
"I guess you're right... It's just basic human instinct. I'll pick
truth as well."
"Hmmm... Other than basic human attraction, do you love me in the
romantic sense?" Mulder asked. Scully blushed.
"Sometimes..."
"Remind me next time not to call you when I go into shock, naked
in a bathtub..."
"I didn't look... Much..."
"SCULLY! That's revolting!"
"You'd do the same thing... Probably even look more than I did!"
"Probably." Mulder said with a smile.
"I suddenly feel very uncomfortable."
"Come on, Scully! When would YOU need me in a bind, when you're
naked?"
"Good point... Trying to keep it to that once..."
"I was too busy to look." Mulder admitted. There was an awkward
silence. "Um... how about we change the subject? Dare."
"Run around the mall screaming: The aliens are attacking!!! They're
going to kill us all!!! The aliens are coming!!! Everyone hide!!!
RUN!!!!"
"But Scully! I'm going to look like an idiot!"
"You always do Mulder..."
"Fine..." He jumped up and began to run around, franticly pointing
at Scully. "THE SCULLYS ARE ATTACKING!!!! THEY'RE GOING TO KILL
US ALL!!! THE SCULLYS ARE COMING!!!! EVERYONE HIDE!!! RUN!!!! DO
SOMETHING!!!! SCULLY IS AN ALIEN!!!!" Mulder yelled. A couple of
people began to look frightened, not sure who they really should
be frightened of.
"Okay Mulder... Time to take your medicine now..." Scully said, trying
to divert the attention of the crowd.
"You're an alien!!! I can't take medicine from you!!! You're trying
to make me one of you!!!! NO!!!!!" He cried, playing along.
"Now Mulder, you know there is no such thing as aliens and they
aren't out to get you. Now, if you behave, I'll buy you some
sunflower seeds." By now most of the store owners had gone back
to their work, and shoppers had began to wander away.
"Yay!!!" Mulder exclaimed jumping up and down.
~~~X~~~
Mulder sat happily eating his sunflower seeds on a small bench in
the food court. "So, truth or dare Scully?" He asked.
"Dare I guess..."
"I dare you to eat handful of sunflower seeds!"
"But Mulder! Those things are disgusting!"
"Come on Scully... I'll win." He reminded her. She sighed and
dug her hand into the bag. When she finished, he asked, "Was it
THAT bad?"
"Yes! It was! I'm going to get you for that!"
"At least you didn't have to make the entire mall think you
were nuts!"
"Well, at least they know the truth!"
"Scully!" Mulder whined. "You're being mean!"
"Grow up Mulder!" Scully snapped. Mulder put on his wounded puppy
dog face.
Mulder sniffled. "I pick dare."
"Um... I dare you to steal a bag of sunflower seeds from the
drugstore!"
"You know Scully this is the third time you've made me do something
illegal!"
"I have a bad temper, what can I say?"
~~~X~~~
"You know Mulder, you're really lucky that the store clerk let you
off because he thought you belonged in a mental institution." Scully
said, as she signed some papers letting Mulder out of jail.
"It's your fault," He said, grumpily.
"You didn't have to do it."
"Oh, like I'd really let YOU win..."
~~~~~X~~~~~X~~~~~ The End ~~~~~X~~~~~X~~~~~
