Karaoke: The Ultimate Unexplained Phenomenon
Chapter 8: Here's Scully!
"Karaoke, alternate definition: a strange pastime for tone-deaf people
who like to make fools of themselves in public"
~Reilly C. Adams, journalist
Mulder looked over at Scully. "Alright, Scully, NOW it's your turn."
Scully sighed, "Alright, alright. I'm going." Scully stood up and took the stage. She picked up the mike and a spotlight was shone on her. She grinned and said, "This one's for you, Mulder."
Mulder smiled and the music started. Mulder was stunned as Scully began to sing in a beautiful voice.
"I'd rather be liberated. I find myself captivated
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
I'd rather stay bold and lonely. I dream I'm your one and only
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Things
are getting strange. I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
I'd rather be jumping ship. I find myself jumping straight in
Stop
doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Forever be dozy and dim. I wake myself thinking of him
Stop
doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Things
are getting strange. I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
My bed
is made for two and there's nothing I can do
So tell me something I don't know.
If my head is full of you, is there nothing I can do?
Must we all march in two by two by two?
And as for some happy ending. I'd rather stay single and thin
Stop
doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
I'd rather be captured by aliens than wait for a man with nothing oh,
Stop
doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Things
are getting strange. I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
Things
are getting strange. I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
So what have you got to say about that?
What does someone do about love?
What does someone do with love?
What have you got to say about that…."
Mulder was stunned as Scully took a bow to an applauding crowd. She sat down next to him, grinning and blushing. "Well?" She asked Mulder.
"Scully, what can I say? That was amazing…"
"Well…you know…I used to sing in church and stuff…"
"But that song…"
"I like to write in what little free time I get. And what better inspiration is there than one's own life."
Mulder just stared at her in awe. Little did the pair know that even though they had sung their parts, the night was still young…
A/n: Scully sang at last! Now we can really have some fun! I still have many, many more characters to go, plus a huge finale. So stick around, Byers is up next. Oh, and if you've never heard the song I used, it's called "Mulder and Scully" and it's by the Welsh band Catatonia. I recommend all XF fans hear it, it's awesome.
D/c: The X-Files belongs to that genius, Chris Carter. The song "Mulder and Scully" belongs to Catatonia.
