Karaoke: The Ultimate Unexplained Phenomenon

Chapter 6: The Devil Sings

"At nine o'clock you can count on me but when I'm up and ready

Tonight I'm gonna be….I'll be a karaoke queen!"

Catatonia "Karaoke Queen"

Mulder glanced at Scully and said, "I guess it's your turn." He grinned and ran a hand through his dark hair.

"I guess so…" Scully replied. She never got the chance. A woman who Scully considered to be the devil herself stepped on the stage. Scully had to fight the strong urge to pull out her gun. The woman on stage was no other than Diana Fowley.

Fowley picked up the mike and said, "This song is for you, Fox. I hope I can convince you to leave that flowery red-head and come back to me."

Scully now had her hand on her fun. "Please Mulder, please let me shoot her! Please let me shoot that little…"

"Calm down, Scully. Let her sing her song. Then you deal with her as you want." Mulder, who had his arm draped across the back of Scully's chair, said with a grin.

"Oh alright…"

And then the Fowley began to sing….

"She's got you wrapped up in her satin and lace
Tied around her little finger
She got you thinkin' you can never escape
Don't you know your hearts in danger
There's a devil in that angel's face
If you could only see the love that you're wasting
 
I can love you better than that
I know how to make you forget her
All I'm asking is for one little chance
Cause baby, I can love you baby, I can love you better
 
I'm gonna break the spell she's got on you
You're gonna wake up to find
I'm your desire my intentions are true
Hey babe I know in time
You're gonna see what you mean to me
So open up your eyes cause seeing is believing
 
I can love you better than that
I know how to make you forget her
All I'm asking is for one little chance
Cause baby, I can love you baby, I can love you better"
 
 The music faded out and Fowley said, "Well, Fox, what do you say?"
 Mulder looked at her and said, "I'm going to let Scully speak for me. Scully?"
 Without any hesitation, Scully pulled out her gun and shot Diana Fowley. Scully turned to Mulder with the biggest smile Mulder had ever seen her wear. As a waiter walked on stage and dragged Fowley's body off, Scully sat down looking very content with herself. "Well," she said to Mulder, as well as Frohike and Skinner, both who looked only slightly shocked, "this has been a productive evening."
 
A/n: Ahahaha! Isn't killing off Fowley fun? Stay tuned for the next chapter in which Reyes goes ten round with my pal Jose Cuervo.

D/c: You should know by now that I don't own the X-Files. I also don't own the song, "I Can Love You Better" by the Dixie Chicks.
