A/n: Howdy! Well, here's chapter 3, as promised! Just a few notes: I have no idea what Kim's mom's first name is so I named her Melanie after one of my best pals. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! The more you review, the more my randomness is encouraged! Now, on with the show!
Paranormal Circumstances
Chapter 3:
The Scully-Possible Connection
Middleton High School
Middleton
3:30 PM Monday
Kim looked up at Scully. "Yup," she said. "Drakken's my arch foe."
"Excellent," said Scully, "we're going to need a complete run-down on this Drakken guy and his sidekick."
"No big. How about we head to my house?"
"Sounds good," Mulder jumped in. "Our car's out front."
Possible Residence
Middleton
3:45 PM Monday
Kim, Ron, Rufus, Mulder and Scully arrived at the Possible household a few minutes later via Mulder and Scully's rental car. Mulder had let Scully drive so he could sit in the back seat with Ron and get "all the juicy Snow Beast details."
Dr. Possible (Kim's mom) greeted them at the door but was surprised to see Scully and Mulder. "Kim, Ron, who're are your new….er…friends?"
Mulder answered for her. "I'm Special Agent Fox Mulder with the FBI and this is my partner, Dana Scully. We're here for Kim and Ron's help in an investigation…"
Mulder was cut off by Dr. Possible. "Dana Scully?" She said in complete shock. "I cant believe it's really you!"
It took Scully a minute to comprehend but then her face broke out into a huge grin. "Melanie! I haven't seen you since we graduated!"
Scully and Dr. Possible hugged as Ron, Mulder and Kim watched, quite confused.
"Mom?" Kim questioned, "You know Agent Scully?"
"Know her? She was my roommate for three years during medical school!"
"Scully?" Mulder asked, still looking confused.
"Yup." Scully grinned. "I knew Melanie BEFORE my alien-hunting days."
Dr. Possible turned to Scully. "Have a few minutes to catch up?"
"Sure." Scully replied as Dr. Possible led her to the kitchen.
Mulder watched her go then looked down at Ron "So….about this Snow Beast…" Mulder and Ron wandered off to the living room leaving Kim alone with Rufus who had bailed out of Ron's pocket at the first mention of the Snow Beast.
Kim looked over at the naked mole rat now sitting on her shoulder. "So, Rufus, know any good jokes?"
Meanwhile in the kitchen…
Scully surveyed her old college buddy over the top of her coffee cup. "So, you seem to be doing alright, Mel. Married?"
"Yup, to the other Dr. Possible."
"Another doctor?"
"Rocket scientist, actually."
"Nice. Is Kim your only kid?"
"Nope. We have twin boys as well."
"Wow."
"So you left the medical field behind to join the FBI?"
"Yup…although I didn't foresee anything like the x-files when I joined up."
"So what exactly is the x-files?"
"Oh you know, alien bounty hunters, unexplained phenomena, global conspiracies…your typical tabloid stuff. Trust me, I have stories I'm not even sure they'd believe."
"Sounds like you never have a dull moment."
"Mulder makes sure of it."
"So, did you wind up marrying that Robert guy?"
Scully shook her head. "Nope. I haven't been down the marriage road yet. Between you and me, Mulder and I have a quasi-relationship and that's enough for me."
Meanwhile in the living room…
Mulder and Ron were trying to out-do each other horror stories and so far, Mulder was winning. Currently, he was recounting his run-in with a pair of old ghosts a few Christmases back. "…so there Scully and I were, thinking we'd shot each other. It turns out it was all the ghosts' doing. As soon as I figured it out, we were able to get out of there and the second we stepped outside the blood was gone."
"So…" Ron muttered, "did you ever find those corpses of yourselves again?"
"Nope. After we saw them the first time, they were gone."
"Creepy…"
"I'll say."
"Man, that would have been bon-diggity if you'd gotten it all on tape! You should write a book about it. I bet it'd knock Stephen King right off the best seller list!
"Yeah, I could call it, 'How the Ghosts Stole Christmas' starring…let's see…Agents Reynard Muldrake and Diana Letsky!"
"Genius!" Ron slapped Mulder a high five. "You'll give me a cut once we make it becomes an international hit, right?"
"Sure, how does, say, 3% sound?"
"Right on!"
Meanwhile, back by the front door…
Kim looked at her watch impatiently. "Ugh! I can't take it any more! I have to do something!" Accompanied by Rufus she made her way into the kitchen and tapped Scully on the shoulder. "I hate to break up your reunion, "she said, "but we have work to do."
"Oh, right." Scully looked slightly disappointed but Dr. Possible jumped in.
"Hey, don't worry, Dana. Once you get this whole thing done with, you and I'll have plenty of time to catch up."
Scully grinned. "Right. C'mon, Kim, let's go collect our partners in crime."
Rufus nodded and Scully, just now noticing him, asked, "Uh, Kim, what is that thing on your shoulder?"
"His name's Rufus. He's Ron's pet naked mole rat."
Rufus jumped Kim shoulder and on to Scully's, squeaking, "Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you…uh…Rufus." Scully glanced at him again as she followed Kim into the living room. "Naked mole rat, huh?" Scully grinned; she liked the little guy but the whole "naked" thing would definitely take some getting used to…
A/n: Wasn't that fun? You know it was so why don't you just review and tell me so! I liked this chapter because it had plays on both Kim Possible and The X-Files. If you caught it, the Dr. Possible/Scully thing was a parody on the episode where it turned out the other Dr. Possible and Drakken went to college together. I'm sure all you X-Philes caught the whole "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas" thing but did you catch that the names Mulder suggests are the names Jose Chung uses for Mulder and Scully in his book in the episode "Jose Chung's From Outer Space"? Just trying to keep y'all thinking. Catch you crazy cats on the flip side! ~Mulder
Stay tuned for chapter 3: Redheads Stick Together
