This happens after the 2nd series and after blessing way and
paperclip 'cause that's as far as I've seen.So if a character has
died  since then sorry but I didn't know! Not that any of that actually
bears any relavance to the story but anyway.
There is no real X-File case in this story. No Plot no nothin'
I wrote it last night 'cause I couldn't sleep.
Funny how most of my stories are written like that.
I think Mulder's Insomnia must be Infectious.
This story will probably makes nooo sense...
But this my first ever completed and sent story.
So here it is....

A Change In You
     By Georgina Jones

"Mulder be careful."Scully yelled as the car swerved to turn a corner.
"What and lose our prime suspect,no way,"He yelled back as the car
swung back to meet the force.
"Mulder."She let herself yell as the car swung forward smashing 
violently into the wall of the narrow alley sending garbage cans 
flying on to the windscreen and sending Mulder and Scully lurching
forward in to the now inflated airbags. The car screeched to a halt.
Great,he thought another pool car sucsessfully written off. 
He turned to face Scully. She had been thrown into the airbag 
and had hit her head on the metal door and been knocked unconsious. 
He reached to unfasten his seatbeltbut it had been jammed by the
impact.He could hear sirens in the distance and his head throbbed 
violently. He made one last attempt to free himself from the seat,
failed and blacked out....

Washington DC Hospital

When he came to he was lying in a bed in a hospital ward.
He sat up and rubbed his head. 
"Agent Mulder, you're awake." He looked and saw Skinner 
sitting in the chair at the end of the bed. 
"Is Scully Ok?"  He asked remembering the accident and 
groaning."Agent Scully  is just being checked for injuries, 
you should be able to see  her soon. In the meantime you 
should rest." "Am I." he paused not wanting to sound 
insensitive. "Am I ok?" "You have a nasty  bump on the head 
and  heavy concussion. You were  very lucky. You'll probably 
have a hell of a headache for days but you'll be Ok."He stated. 
"Well I sure don't feel lucky." he mumbled. 
"Well Agent Mulder  I have to get back to work. The doctor 
should be along in a  few minutes to see you ." He stood up 
and walked out...

She remembered being thrown forward and hitting the airbag.
Then falling onto the metal door just below the glass windows
she felt shaky and her head hurt. She waited for the doctor to finish
his examination of her. 
"Well Ms Scully . It looks like youv'e been lucky this time, 
a few bruises and some mild concussion , you should be fine 
in a couple of hours.'' 
Somehow in the midst of her pain she felt lightheaded. 
It was probably the painkillers she concluded...

2 days later F.B.I Headquaters

" I'm fine, I keep telling you there's nothing wrong with me
lighten up. Fox "She playfully jabbed his shoulder.
"Lighten up, Lighten up!"He sighed exasperated at his smiling
partner. "I'm telling you Scully you should rest ."
"Oh yeah and you shouldn't?"She giggled.
He stared at his partner . What the hell was wrong with her today
she'd been acting weird since the accident.
"Agent Mulder, Agent Scully , can I see you in my office now.''
Skinner said as he walked past them.

Asst Walter.S.Skinner's office

"Please have a seat." he paused "I think you two should take 
the day off." "Really sir I'm fine," Skinner nodded at him
then turned to Scully "Agent Scully?"
She fliicked back her hair and smiled  at Skinner. "Ok ,I
think I'll take today off to, rest." She winked at him. 
"Thats all." He waved them out of the office.

He had been worried about Scully since she'd left for home. He 
picked up the phone and dialed her number.
He let the phone ring for a few minutes before hanging up. 
Maybe she was sleeping . Maybe something had happened to her.
He picked up his coat and went to her appartment.

Scully's Appartment

He knocked on the door and waited.
He could hear noise coming from inside. He listned closer to
the door. He could hear a woman giggling and a man laughing. 
And a series of groans and shrieks...

He knocked again this time much louder.
The noise stopped and he heard  footsteps and the door being 
unlocked from the inside.
It opened to reveal a man wearing only a towel and dripping 
water. He felt as if all the breath had been knocked out of 
his body.

It was Tom Colton. The man stood  with a smug expression on his face.
Mulder wanted to punch him. 
Scully approached the door. She was also wet and had only a towel 
wrapped around her. She slipped into Tom's arms. "Mulder can we help you?"

Tom Colton's triumphant face glowed in the doorway.
He could see that Mulder was looking upset and so to spite him he moved
behind Scully and started nibbling her neck.
She leant her head to one side.

He felt totally crushed seeing Tom Colton All over his partner and her,
doing nothing to discourage him. 
"I was just checking that you were Ok ,you didn't answer your phone."
"I guess we didn't hear it, we were.*Busy*."
She looked at Tom.
"Well That was all I just wanted to know. Sorry to have bothered you." 
Scully nodded and shut the door. He was left standing outside feeling
stupid and hurt. As he heard the noise start up again.

After that he took Skinners advice and went home. 
He tried to work on writing up some case notes but he didn't feel like working.
Every time he tried to concentrate on work all he could see was Tom Colton
wrapped all over Scully, his  photographic memory wasn't going to let
him forget it. She really hadn't been her normal self since the accident.
Usually she was more serious and more dependant on him.  He'd watched
her flirting with about 15 Agents at the Bureau including Skinner.
Flirting he could cope with but Scully and Tom Colton together .
He tried to block the thought from his head.
He turned don the Tv and started to flick through the channels.

'Blip' It was rerun of a naf soap series. A man hugged a woman
who was covered in dirt and scratches and then kissed her
passionatley. 'Oh Brad I love you ' 

'Blip' A nature program filled the screen' And after the male and
 the female have mated.'

'Blip' This time the screen was filled by a couple rolling around in bed 
making love.

'Blip' A music channel Filled the screen. This has to be safe he thought.
'And I would be the one to hold you down. Kiss you so hard I'll take
your breath away'

'Blip' The screen went blank.
He sighed and settled down on the couch to sleep.

"He was walking through a house. It seemed familiar
but he couldn't place it. He looked up and saw Scully
on the stairs long winding stairs. She was laughing
and as he started to walk towards her she ran up the stairs.
He reached the top of the stairs but he couldn't see her.
He saw a door Slam down the hall and ran towards it.
He turned the handle slowly and opened the door expected
to be confronted with a bedroom.Instead he saw a graveyard
and Phoeboe sat on one of the tombstones. Her eyes glinted
wickedly."Hello Fox."
He pulled back and closed the door.
He saw another door closing further down the hall and ran 
towards it.

He turned the handle and opened the door.
There was a sofa. Kristin was sitting on the sofa
she reached out to him and he caught sight of the
blood on her hands and backed out of the room.

He moved to try the handle on the next door but
it swung open before he could get it.
"Can we help you?"
Tom Colton stood in the doorway and Scully next to him.
He ran away down the hall. Scully stood at the end of the
hall. He stopped about a metre from her.
Blood started to pour down her face and she errupted into
flames.

He woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. Normally 
after a dream like this he would phone Scully and 
listening to the sound of her voice would calm him down.
He knew that he couldn't call her, this made him feel 
isolated and alone. She was his best friend.And he couldn't
even talk to her.

He got up and walked to the kitchen.He looked at the clock
it read 2:35. He went to the fridge and poured himself some
milk, turned on the radio and leant back on the fridge door.
It was a talk radio station. He hated talk radio. Scully 
must have retuned it when she was last there.
He thought about this and decided not to change it.
He stood listening to the radio till his legs went numb.
He looked at the clock again. It was 3:10.
He decided that he had to go for a walk. To clear his head
He went into his bedroom and threw a pair of jeans and a sweater
onto the bed and quickly changed into them.
Within three minutes he was changed and out of the door.

He wandered down the street he didn't really know where
he was going, he just kept walking till he reached the park and
sat down on a bench.
It was deserted and the only light came from a solitary streetlamp
ouside of the park which lit up the grass in front of him but left
him in darkness. 
He thought about Scully, he knew that there was nothing wrong with
her having a life this wasn't his Scully. Sleeping with Tom Colton
was not the kind of thing that his Scully would do. It was totally
out of character for her. 
He didn't understand why she was acting like this.
Maybe she'd been switched by aliens. God now he could see
why people thought he was weird. That sounded ridiculous. Even for
'Spooky' Mulder. He settled down and thought about it until he fell
asleep on the bench.

He woke up late with the wind blowing full in his face and rain
falling lightly on his head. His neck ached from sustaining the
uncomfortable position for so long. He stood up and straightened
his clothes he was already late for work and still needed to go
back to his appartment and change.

F.B.I Headquarters

His head still ached from sleeping the night on the park bench,
He'd been 1hr late for work and Skinner had been looking for him.
To add to that Scully still hadn't put in an appearence or called
in late or sick. Just when he was concluding that the day couldn't
possibly get any worse than it had been so far, Skinner knocked 
and opened the door. Mulder knew for a fact that Skinner wouldn't
come down here unless it was important.
He hated this basement office and had once told Mulder that he 
remembered when it had been a photocoping room.
"Agent Mulder." The asst director began.
"Look sir I'm sorry that I was late in I kind'of got um held up
in traffic."
"This isn't about your being late Agent Mulder." God he sounded
serious about something.
"I thought that you might want to know that Agent Scully was 
involved in an accident earlier this morning, She wasn't
badly hurt but I thought you might want to go and see how 
she is.
"Thank You Sir." Skinner left the office
He hoped that she was Ok With the way she'd been acting recently
he wasn't sure that he wanted to see her, but he decided to
anyway.

Washington DC Hospital

He approached the Front desk. He hated hospitals. The way
they sounded the way they looked. The way they smelled.
He decided that he probably wouldn't have made a very good doctor.
"Dana Scully brought in a few hours ago?" 
The clerk looked down the admission records
"Go left into Ward A/C and it's room two eleven."
"thanks." he set off in the direction the clerk had pointed out.
Soon he reached Two Eleven and knocked on the door He hoped that 
she was alone, he didn't know if he could face Colton again.
He opened the door.
She was alone and sitting up.
Her hair sttod out more than usual against her unusually pale skin.
She smiled as she saw him enter the room. "Mulder."
"Hey Scully, how are you feeling ?"
"A bit shaken up but otherwise I think I'm Ok."
He nodded. "What happened?"
"I was crossing the street and not really looking where I was 
going, I got hit by a car. I got hit on the head pretty hard
and ended up with a few bruises."
She frowned I don't really remember much before getting hit,
back to that accident a few days ago. It's just a blur."
Mulder smiled this was his Scully, he was sure of it.
He bent down and planted a kiss on her cheek.
She looked up at him confused
"What was that for?"she asked
He grinned sheepishly. He couldn't tell her the real reason.
He couldn't tell her.
"No reason." he replied
She smiled up at him. She knew she could never tell him what
she felt for him or what that kiss had meant to her. 
She could never tell him...
