Mulder snapped out of his sleeping state as soon as he heard the ringing of his cell phone. It was 2:30 in the morning and he had fallen asleep while watching old re-runs of the Golden Girls.

"Uh hm…Mulder." He made an effort to clear the sleepiness out of his voice. It didn't work as he had planned.

"Agent Mulder, I'm sorry to wake you. This is Nurse Johnson from the hospital. Megan has had an episode and requested that you and your partner be called. Mulder did not hesitate with his response.

"We'll be right out there." He didn't even wait for the nurse to respond. He snapped his phone shut and threw on a pair of jeans. Scully was sleeping soundly in the room next to him. She woke as soon as she heard him knocking on her door.

"Scully it's me, open up!" He yelled to her from the other side. She rolled out of bed and put her robe on.

"Mulder, what's wrong?" She asked her partner as soon as she opened the door. He looked rather disheveled. His hair was sticking up all over the place and he was wearing an old New York Knicks t-shirt.

"You gotta get dressed. I just got a call from the hospital, something happed and Megan wants us to be there." Like her partner, Scully did not take much convincing. She shut her door for a moment, and emerged wearing a pair of jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt. They both ran to there rental car and got in. Mulder decided to drive.

As soon as they reached the hospital they noticed that no local police had been called to the scene. This was rather strange. They ran through the entrance where they were immodestly greeted by the same nurse they had met earlier that day.

"She's okay, but something scared her. I'm not really cure what happened. She says she'll only speak to you." The nurse spoke as she lead them to Megan's room. When they got there, Megan was sitting up in her bed. She had her blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She was still visible shaken.

"I'm really sorry. I…I didn't know who else to tell. You two were the only ones who didn't laugh at me when I told you my story." Mulder and Scully walked directly over to the shaking girl. Her eyes were a bit glazed over, and her face was still puffy from the tears she had obviously cried.

"Why don't you tell us what happened?" Scully asked the girl calmly, running a hand down the length of her blonde hair.

"I was asleep, and when I woke up it was really cold in here. I think that's what woke me up. When I opened my eyes there was someone above me. Its eyes were…I don't even know how to describe it. It just kept trying to get closer to me. I finally screamed and that's when the nurse came in. By the time she was here it was gone though. I know I sound crazy but you have to believe me." Megan was now crying again out of desperation. Scully handed her a box of tissues that had been on the table next to her bed. Mulder walked around to the other side of the bed.

"That's where it was standing when I first saw it." Mulder was looking down at the floor.

"Scully, can you come take a look at this?" Mulder asked as he leaned down. HE was examining a substance on the floor.

"This looks like some type of plasma to me. Something commonly left behind by the paranormal or ghosts. I think she got slimed." Scully gathered some of the substance into a plastic baggie.

"I can send this to the lab, but for some reason I don't think the results are going to make any difference."
