I want to believe they all own themselves, so that's what I'll say. They own themselves. :o) Author's Notes: This is just a little something I wrote at school today during one of those extremely boring lessons. Hope you enjoy it!

Anything! * * * * * * * * * * * "Another Try At the Hallway Scene" By: Angela C.J. Wettergren (Starbuck79@hotmail.com) * * * * * * * * * * * I don't know how many times she's watched this scene now. She cries just as much every time, and to be honest, it's driving me a little crazy. I mean, you've got to admit that if you were me, and you were trying to focus on your lines and what you're supposed to do, you'd get a bit annoyed too if all you could hear was someone blowing her nose every five seconds. And if you can't imagine that, then take my word for it. I'm telling you the truth, it's annoying as hell. You all should have seen her the first time she watched this episode! Good Lord! She really must be totally nuts... She cried her eyes out during the entire episode! Call me crazy, but I really don't think the opening sequence with all the credits is that sad. Maybe it's just me... I am waiting for Scully to come out here and join me, so we can once again play out the apparently famous and loved 'hallway scene', as she refers to it, that weird girl. I really don't understand why she loves it so much. To be honest, I'm fucking sick and tired of it! Pardon my French... If I have to - which I already know I have to - say the words, 'The truth will save you, Scully. I think it'll save both of us' one more time, I think I'll throw up. Seriously, how unoriginal is that line, especially after having said it at least a million times now. I'm sick of it, I tell you! Can't she just find another scene to love other than this one? Ah, I'm not gonna get my hopes up, I'll just get disappointed. But hey, wait a second! She hasn't seen "Triangle" yet! You see, she is a hopeless Shipper to the bone. If I know her right after all these years, and I think I do, the kissing-scene in "Triangle" will become one of her new favorites, and maybe I'll get a rest from this one at least for a little while! Plus, it comes with a great bonus. I'll get to kiss Scully over and over again. Yummy! Well, a Scully look-alike anyway. I guess it's better than nothing. Why the hell isn't there a kiss in this scene? Maybe it would be more endurable then, who knows? Who am I trying to kid, of course it would be more endurable! Don't tell anyone, but I'm really a Shipper too. If Chris Carter were to find out, he'd be so angry with me. I try to slip in a touch or a romantic line here and there in every episode, and then I just hope he doesn't notice and take it away before the episode airs. Hey, if it meant you'd get to kiss Scully, you'd do it too! You can't really blame a guy for trying, can you? Dammit, she's put me on pause. I think she had to go to the bathroom or something. I hate it when she pauses a scene. I don't know if you know this, but it is *very* difficult to stand completely still like this. I don't know why she doesn't just stop the tape all together instead of putting it on pause... I think she's afraid she'd miss something if she pressed the stop-button, like the scene would play out differently if it weren't up on the screen. Hey, don't blame me, it's she who's stupid! Where is she?! If I have to stand like this for another minute, I think I'm gonna fall over. You know, it would be like Urkel in that TV-show. 'I've fallen and I can't get up!' God, he is so annoying too. I mean, how can you live with that voice?! Jeez... Oh, here she comes! Finally... What the hell took her so long, anyway? Another minute and I wouldn't only have fallen over, I would've suffocated! I don't think you know this either, but when she puts us on pause, we're not allowed to even breathe! You can see my problem right there. Hey... Hey, where the hell is she going now!! Hey you, come back here! Oh, she just went to get some more paper. I told you she cries a lot. Oh great, she pressed the play-button again, here we go. At least I can breathe again, and I'm still standing up. Hey, you wanna know what she does sometimes? Apparently her friend told her, that if you start the song "My Heart Will Go On" just as I come into the hospital room where Scully is sitting with Penny, the climax of the song will start just as Scully steps into my waiting arms. Isn't that just plain sick? Thankfully she doesn't seem to be in that mood today. I really hate that song. Okay, here comes Scully. I know my lines perfectly. I have to admit, what we say is pretty beautiful, but even so, it's boring after a while. I've said them far too many times. "Is she gone?" I say, and Scully turns around to face me, and she nods. She's crying. I feel really bad for Scully, she always gets a terrible head ache after doing this scene. I guess crying does that to her. "I'm sorry," I tell her. "I know what she meant to you." She looks strangely at me, and then she starts walking toward me. I tell her that I've read a little in her diary, and she looks embarrassed. She already knew that I'd read it, of course she'd know this after doing this scene a million times, but she's playing it out perfectly, and she goes on with her lines. She's beautiful, and even though I know she's not really sick anymore, I get really happy when she tells me she's gonna fight her cancer. I am so mushy... "If we find him..." I hear her say. Oh! It's my turn again. Yippie... "*When* we find him, Scully," I say. "Scully, something was done to you, something you're just beginning to remember. You can't quite figure it out, but it can be explained and it will be explained. And no matter what you think as a scientist or a doctor, there is a way. And you will find it, to save yourself." Oh God, I'm bloody about to make myself cry! I am so good. "Mulder, I can't kid myself," she says, her lines coming out as perfectly as always. She never makes a single mistake. I did a few in the beginning, but I don't think anyone ever noticed. "People live with cancer. They carry on. And so will I. You know, I've got things to finish, to prove to myself, to my family. But for my own reasons." I smile at her. "Come on back," I whisper. She walks into my open arms, and I'm grinning like an idiot. I have to admit, that no matter how boring this scene is to do sometimes, she feels really good in my arms. She's kinda short, but whatever. But then comes that horrible line... I really don't wanna say it, I don't wanna say it!!! I'm late, I know I am. Scully is hugging me just a little tighter to remind me it's my line. I know it's my line! I just don't wanna say it! I guess I have to. "Scully, the truth will..." No, I'm not gonna say it. I feel Scully stiffen in my arms. She knows I've screwed up totally. "Mulder," she whispers so only I can hear it. "What the hell is wrong? It's your line!" I grab her by the arms and push her away from me slightly, so that I can look at her face. I throw a quick glance at the weird girl sitting in front of her TV, and her eyes are *this* big! I smile to myself. "Scully, I love you," I say to Scully, and her eyes are just as big. "Mulder, what the hell are you doing?!" she whispers as quietly as she can. Sweet thing, she's still trying to save this scene. "Scully, I love you," I repeat. "I want to kiss you." Before she can make any objections, my lips capture hers in a passionate kiss. All I can here except from the ringing in my ears (you would have ringing in your ears too if you were kissing Scully!) is that weird girl screaming, "OH, MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!" As I continue to kiss Scully, who has now opened her mouth under mine and invited me in, and I can see the girl out of the corner of my eye, running to the phone and computer. I close my eyes again, and concentrate on kissing Scully. She feels even better than that Scully look-alike I'll kiss in "Triangle", trust me. The last thing I hear before Scully and I both pass out from lack of oxygen, is the weird girl talking to one of her freaky friends on the phone, while writing a mail to her other freaky friend on the computer. "LINDA," she practically screams, "YOU AND ALISHA WILL *NEVER* BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!!!" The End. End notes: I feel like I should tell you that "Memento Mori" is really my absolute favorite episode ever. I don't really mean to make fun of the actual episode, but I've always wanted to see a kiss in it (well, now there is one to find on the net, but that's not the point), so I decided to write a little story about it. :o) Hope you liked it.
