From: Skubadivr Date: Thu, 7 May 1998 20:57:54 EDT Subject: Baseball Bats & Butcher Knifes (1/1) Baseball Bats & Butcher Knifes Sequel to Field of Dreams By Sunrize Skubadivr@aol.com Classification- V Archive Info- Anywhere and everywhere, as long as my name & email are attached. Spoilers- None...but you might want to read "Field of Dreams" first Legal Stuff- Not mine, never have been, never will be. That cover it? Rating- PG Authors Note- Okay, I have no idea how the title fits (except for the 'baseball bats' part...the first story....that fits) but I couldn't think of anything else! So let's just leave this as a working title...and if I get any better suggestions, I'll change it.....anyway, this is the sequel to "Field of Dreams" one of the first fics I ever wrote.....so you might want to read it first to REALLY grasp this story....it's at my website -- http://members.aol.com/Skubadivr/LBstory.index.html Summary- A little ditty I wrote, and don't worry, even though the ending is kinda crappy, there WILL be more, and most assuredly, it WILL be MSR :-) ******************************************************* F.B.I. Headquarters July 5th A.D. Skinner sat at his desk, waiting. Any minute now, Scully and Mulder would come bursting into his office and force him to endure what would end up seeming like hours of Scully's fiery temper and Mulder's sarcastic commentary. He'd seen Scully's temper before, and had hoped never to see it again Unfortunately, he deserved it this time. 'Oh, look on the bright side,' he thought 'at least you won $400 out of the pool.' Right on schedule, the door flew open and the agents entered in tandem, yelling and waving a newspaper in his face. Skinner let them yell for a minute, then held up his hands and boomed "QUIET!" They immediately fell silent, and he smiled inwardly. At least he had some type of authority left. "Sir, what is the meaning of this?" Scully asked tightly. "Yeah, a huge picture of us and a caption reading 'Even Agents Mulder and Scully, F.B.I., take a day off to enjoy the festivities.' isn't the first thing I expected to see on the front page this morning," Mulder added sardonically. Skinner looked at the two agents, then grinned. "Hey, don't blame me! It was your mother's idea," he replied, pointing at Scully. "And besides, it won me $400 in our pool.' Scully stood speechless, then asked "My mother? Why?" "Well, just because she wanted to prove to you two what the whole world already knows. She wanted you two to have a wake up call, for God's sake! So, now that it's public, when's the wedding?" he inquired, a twinkle in his eyes. Mulder and Scully turned to each other, speechless. Scully's mouth was gaping , her face frozen. Finally, her muscles collapsed and she began to giggle. The two of them began to laugh so hard that Skinner was sure he'd have to call security if their moods swung to the opposite. "He....thh- tthhinkkss--" Scully tried to get out between giggles. "That we're...in love!!!" Mulder cried, finishing the thought. "Well, how ridiculous is that? God knows if I'd been working with someone so closely for five years, I'd sure as hell probably be married to them. And I've never, and I mean NEVER, seen a more compatible, amazingly connected couple as you two!" Skinners' voice rose, trying in vain to be heard over the two hysterical agents. Giving up, he leaned back against his chair. "You two are dismissed," he told them. Still laughing, the pair rose. Nodding good-bye, Scully quickly left the office behind Mulder, feeling another round of laughter coming. Watching after them, Skinner cursed himself. Why was it that the assistant director of the F.B.I couldn't even make two people realize their feelings? Either he was bad at that sort of thing, or these two were the most dense people in the entire world. And whenever the feelings were finally acknowledged, it was going to be the most passionate, explosive day of their lives. *********************************************** The End....but fear not! This is only the second story.....There will be more, I swear to God! And I will also tell you that they WILL get together....eventually;-) This was just a little teaser/vignette to keep you occupied while I work on finishing school, writing the next story in the series, and all of that. So, stay tuned! Flames........comments.......PRAISE.....whatever--------->Skubadivr@aol.com
