Chapter 2: More Talkin
"Do you think they're going to survive?"
"I don't know John. I think they are happy to finally be together, but they're going to have to hide the rest of their lives." Silence. "You know, we parallel them in a way."
"How's that?"
"Well, Mulder was a believer, and Dana was a skeptic, but she came to believe his same truths. Now, I'm the believer and you are the skeptic. Now you somewhat believe, but not entirely. But I don't know if I could have done what they did. Go through all they had to endure."
"Our lives haven't been easy either."
"True, but Mulder lost his sister and father. Found out he had a half brother by his enemy. Found out the truth behind his sisters abduction. Was abducted himself, died, came back to life only to leave again. Then was sentenced to death. And Dana has been through her fare share. She was abducted, and as a result got cancer from which she almost died. Her sister was killed, and she was close several times herself to being killed. Found out she had a daughter who then died. Lost Mulder a number of times, and have to give up her only son. Both have been nearly killed because of an investigation. They have sacrificed allot for the truth."
"What is the truth? Look where this has gotten them. They are both on the run for the rest of their lives. What kind of life is that truly."
"It's been their lives for nine years."
"Yeah, well I don't want to end up like that."
"They have sacrificed too much to give up now. And we don't have the X - files anymore."
"What, you think they'll continue their crusade for the truth?"
"Come on John, it's all he knows."
"And what about Scully?"
"She'll do whatever he does. And we're going to help them."
"How we gonna do that?" He looked at her skeptically.
"We will continue their search from here."
"Really?"
"Yes. It is our duty to seek the truth. And we're going to find it."
"And is this one way we parallel Mulder and Scully?"
"Yes. And I'm going to make a believer out of you."
"And am I gonna have your a baby too?"
"John, I'm being serious."
"So am I."
"You wont even kiss me."
"It took Mulder and Scully almost 9 years before they kissed."
"Actually, I think it was a little less. Like 8 or something."
"And look, they still had a kid."
"John. Why won't you kiss me?"
"What?"
"I have only given you every opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
"Oh come on."
"I don't know."
"How about now?" They look at each other.
"I'm just not sure."
"What about now?" They look at each other.
"You are a very forward woman aren't you."
"You're going to make me do this aren't you?"
"Do what?" She leaned forward and kissed him, as long as she could.
Ok, you must realize I suck at this. And also that I wrote the first one in an hour in the middle of the night, when I was very tired. And I wrote this one being sick, in the middle of the night, in about an hour. That's why it's short. Now I tried my best to stay true to the characters. You know, Doggett being skeptical, and making remarks, And Monica doin what she does. So, I tried my best here. At least give me a little credit.
