"Ah!!!!!!!"
There was a scream coming out of Dana's room.
"I'll go and see what's wrong. You go back to sleep sweetheart."
I went out of the room and went to Dana's room just to check 
what happened.
"What's up Dana?"
"I had a nightmare Daddy."
"14 years old girl had a nightmare and call for his daddy huh?"
"No.. It was really scary daddy.."
"Ok..sweetie.. so what do you want me to do? Watch you till
you get to sleep?"
"Um.. no daddy actually, could you tell me some happy stories?
Not the novels, like um.. something that could happen. Or 
something that had happened to you.. A very happy story..
or sad is okay too. Something romantic would be cool too."
"Oh, you are asking for too much.. a story that is happy and sad
and also romantic.. and realistic.. um.. do you want to know
why your name is Dana and your little bro is Fox?"
"Is it a happy story?"
"Sort of.."
"Then fine. Tell me Daddy. I'm so scared."
**************************************************************

1978... Fall..
William Scully was driving a car. His whole family were having a 
great time talking and laughing. Then a car was hit by an another 
car with a drunk man. Sadly, only Samantha Scully and Margaret 
Scully survived.
"Gosh Are you okay sweetheart? Doctor, could you tell me what 
happened to her?"
"Um.. Her injury is pretty bad. We need to get O neg"
"What did you just say? O neg? That's impossible! She's AB positive"
"No, ma'am. She's O neg. We checked twice."
"What? Oh my gosh...Then she's not my child!"
"Could you identify her DNA for me? She's not my child. It's 
impossible. My husband is AB positive, and me too. That's 
impossible..."
"Sure ma'am. We could do that and you can check it out for yourself."
The next day
"Um we found that your DNA doesn't match your daughter's... and we 
found that... the babies were changed.. Here's the address for 
your real daughter we suppose. Your DNA and her DNA matches."
"Oh.. thank you."
"I'm sorry about your family..."
"Oh don't bother it's okay."
Margaret Scully drove her car to the address that was written 
on her paper. 
(knock knock) "Hello"
"Um.. do I know you?"
"Oh no.. Um... It's hard to say... but.."
(Fox is coming out) "What's up Mom?"
"Well Our daughters were changed I think.."
"Oh my gosh please come in"
(sitting on chairs)
"How.....could it be possible?"
"Well, we had a accident and she needed a blood donation then 
it turned out that her DNA doesn't matches neither mine or 
my husband's. It matches yours and your husband"
"What?" Teena was surprised.
"So.. you mean you want to.. exchange daughters? Gosh I 
can't believe this...... 14 years..."
"I know it would be very hard, but I think you and I both 
might want to see the real daughters.."
"So...um... how's family there?"
"I lost all except Samantha yesterday. How about there?"
"Um We're doing great.. I'll tell Dana about this so... when 
do you expect her to come? Maybe as soon as possible? Tommorrow?"
"Sure um.. if you don't mind.."
"Sure Ms Scully.. I'm sure they'd want to see their real moms.."
***************************************************************
(Teena opens Dana's door)
"Dana.. I need to talk to you.."
"What mommy?"
"Um... Dana.. you are 14 now right?"
"Sure mom.. why are you saying that?"
"Dana... I think there was a mistake in the hospital and..."
"What is it mom?"
"Um.. You're not my real daughter......."
"Oh.....uh..."
(Fox walks into the room)
"What are you talking about mom? What?"
"Dana is not your real sister Fox..."
"No! She is my real sis!"
"Fox.. calm down.. the babies were changed..."
"No.. I don't believe that.. Dana you are my sis and I'm not 
letting you go to anywhere"
"Um.. Ms Mulder so.. who am I belong to?"
"Ms Scully... Dana.. but I'm still your mom.."
"It's okay Ms Mulder.. I'll get over this soon.. um..
so mom's coming tomorrow?"
"No Dana.. You belong to us!"
"I'll be okay Fox don't worry.."
"Go to bed now sweetie.. it's getting late.. I love you.."
"Good night mom..oh.. Ms.Mulder..good night Fox.."
************************************************************
(Margaret Scully gets into Mulder's residence)
"Dana"
"Yes?"
"This is Margaret Scully.. your real mother.."
"Oh hi mom"
"Samantha is at the hospital at the moment.. but she'll recover 
soon.."
"Dana.. so would you like to come with me?"
"Sure mom.."
"No way Dana!!"
"Fox... I'm not your sis..."
"No you are Dana.."
"Mom let's go.."
"Bye mom..Bye Dad...Bye...Fox......"
*********************************************************
"I thought I could get over this.. but I just can't.... 
without Dana I can't live.."
"Teena.. let's go to England.."
"That would make me feel better... as if this things didn't
happen at all.. I think we should get Dana back, and 
fly to.. I'll go and ask her..about the adoption.."
(Scully's residence)
"Ms.Scully?"
"Yes?"
"Um.. it's so hard to...say but... do you mind if we
adopt her?"
"I thought about it for awhile yesterday.. and 
I think.. it would be better for Dana.. I've got no family 
left, not much money left so.. yeah good decision..."
"Dana"
"Yes mom? Oh.. Ms Mulder.."
"Dana.. come back home for now.. We decided to adopt you.."
"Yes Dana.. I think it would be much better for you to go back
 to Mulder's.."
"Um.. But how are you going to live mom?"
"Don't worry about me Dana.. Just go for now..."
"But mom..."
"I said go! You've got so much opportunity... I don't want to 
let you down Dana.."
"Thank you so much Ms Scully... Thank you... so much.."
"No.. I'm the one to thank you.. Please... keep loving her just 
like your child.."
"Sure Ms Scully.. Sure.."
***********************************************************
(That night)
"Dana.. I'm so glad you came back."
"Fox.. Um.. I think I'd better go back..."
"No way Dana.."
"No I should.. I've done something really wrong... You know... 
Ms Mulder has her husband, you, Samantha.. but Ms Scully
she got nothing... only me.. I'm going back... I'm going back.."
"No.. I should.. I should.."
"Mom and Dad will be back soon Dana... just wait till then.. 
They won't let you go.."
"No Fox.. I have to I've got to.."
"And as a matter of fact, it's so late!"
"No.. Fox.. I'm going back.."
(Dana packs her bag and leaves the door)
"No Dana.. Please.."
"Get off me Fox. I'm not your sis.. I have to go.. bye Fox.."
"No!"
"Fox.. let me go..."
(Dana runs away from Fox. Then the red lights are shawn down on 
her and then she's gone)
"Dana?? Where are you... oh my god..."
(Fox goes back to his house)
"Fox, Dana we're home.. We've finished the adoption of Dana"
"Mom.. Dad... She's gone..."
"What did you say Fox? What do you mean?"
"Aliens.. Took her..."
"Fox... Are you okay?"
******************************************************
(On the phone) 
"I'm very sorry to say Ms....Scully.. but.. Dana's just... gone... 
Is she there?"
"No.. no.."
"Mom I told you! Ms Scully! She was abucted by..."
"Fox! Stop it!"
"No mom! it's for real. She was abucted by the UFO. She's out there 
somewhere we don't know!"
"Sorry Ms Scully.. I think she's missing... I have no idea.."
"Mom.. ."
"I'm so sorry to disturb you Ms Scully.."
"Um.. It's okay.. She's your daughter now.."
(hangs up the phone)
"Well.. did you do anything to Dana?"
"She tried to go to Ms Scully's residence.. She told me she 
got no one if Dana leaves her She tried to run away from me 
I held her so tight but she ran... so hard.. I followed her then 
suddenly this red light was on her... she was then.. just gone..."
"Let's stop that Fox.. I'm going to call the police...and 
ask them to find her.. Maybe she's kidnapped.. god...I shouldn't 
have left you two alone at night.. I shouldn't..."

(A woman knocks on Fox Mulder's Door)
"Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted."
"Agent Mulder. I'm Sherry Scully, I've been assigned 
to work with you."
(He shakes her hand.)
"What? Scully?"
"Is anything wrong?"
"Oh no... don't bother.. just a bit familiar to me.. so.."
"Oh.."
"Did you dyed your hair?"
"No.."
"Oh.. um... What was your childhood like Scully?"
"Why are you asking me stupid questions? I was fine..."
"Do you believe in the aliens?"
"No. I've never believed in them. Can we move on to our files?"
"Oh sure.."
*********************************************************
"Hey Fox what's up?"
"Oh not much.. my partner changed."
"Oh. Sorry to hear that. Jane.. she was a good FBI agent.."

"So.. when are you going to show me your fiance? Uh?"
"Soon"
"Am I really your best bud? If so, how come you're

"To the first question, sure thing. To the second question,

"You are engaged now so may I see her for now as a best bud?"
"Oh well then.. um.. well I'll call ya. Ok?"
"Sure. See ya Alex"
"See ya Fox"

"We've met today. I was assigned to the FBI today Alex."
"Oh that's great Sherry! So you two are partners?"
"Yes.I'm sorry I haven't told you about this Alex"
"It's okay Sherry"
(Alex kisses Sherry on the cheek)
"Oh so Scully, you didn't tell me you're engaged"
"Does it matter to you?"
"Just kidding."
"Sherry, Fox is my best bud. You can trust him."
"I don't think so Alex. He keeps asking me strange questions."
"The UFO's? Aliens?"
"Yes."
"Excuse me." Fox leaves the table.
"So his sister was abducted by the aliens when she was 14?"
"Yes...Um.. very complecated but yeah..."
"Why?"
"It's a long story... She's not his real sis.."
"Oh.. how come?"
"The girls were changed in the hospital so..."
"He must have a hard time then.."
"Yeah. He really had hard time to get going on with Sam,

"Thank you so much Alex Thank you so much."

"Gosh Sherry... can you stand it?"
"Alex.. I've been through this for many years.."
"But it's getting worse... In high school, you were better than

Alex calls Fox
"What's wrong Alex? I can't find Sherry anywhere.. Is she upset?"
"Fox, she's just tired so she's in the hospital.."
"She goes to the hospital so many times... and even more 
these days.."
"She was just working too hard so.."
"I know.. so why did you call me? Just to tell me where Sherry is?"
"She wanted me to tell you somethings.."
"Oh really? What?"
"She told me to give this to you........"
(Alex hands Fox a diary)
"How long did you keep it?"
"Sherry found it.. and she told me that um.. well... she gave it
to me since she met you She already knew about your sis.."
"So this diary means... she's dead? You must have given it to me 
sooner! All these years I've done nothing but..."
"Love.." (Alex goes out of the ER building. Fox follows him)
"You knew I love her.."
"Sure.. I knew it from the beginning.."
"Then how could you..."
"Um.. listen carefully to me Mulder......"
"You two are getting married? That's why 
she wouldn't let me to love her.."
"I and Scully are just good friends of high school... Lots of boys
picked on her as she was an orphan and she was so weak....."
"An orphan?"
"Yes.. She's an orphan.."
"Oh.. no..... from high school? I didn't know that.. so you're not 
engaged?"
"Yeah.. Sherry wanted me to act like her lover..I'm sorry Fox.. 
But that's what she wanted...."
"Stop Alex.. you've read this diary?"
"No.. Sherry asked me not to open it.."
"Um ..........."
"What?"
"The diary stopped.....Do you think she died? All these years, 
I've done nothing but chasing for my dead sis?"
"Ease Mulder... ease..."
**************************************************
(Teena's house)
"Fox!"
"Mom, why did you call me? Oh.. you already know what I know..."
"Oh she told you? Well that's good then. Well we decided to adopt
her as Ms. Scully's been dead for quiet awhile. She must have had 
so hard times.... She got out of hospital. She told me it's 
wasting of time so she said she wanted to spend some time with
us."
"What are you talking about mom? Um... I don't get......."
"Hi.. Fox.." Sherry shows up from the room.
"What's this about mom?"
"Dana is becoming your sister again!"
"Dana? She's dead........ mama are you alright?"
"Dana... you didn't tell Fox yet?"
"Mom. I just couldn't.......cause... cause... I fell in....god.. 
um.. love....... with Fox...... I just couldn't... um..."
"Oh.. my poor little Dana... Fox.. Dana was abucted by the aliens 
then came back to Ms. Scully's but she was already dead... She 
lived her life all by herself.... all alone... But Alex took care of 
her in the school well though he couldn't keep her in his house..
Dana... She didn't want to come to our house because she thought 
it might be a burden to us.. Dana.. You should have come... 
You're my daughter..you know.. you are..."
"Alex.. You knew it from the beginning didn't you!!"
"Sorry Fox.. That's what Dana wanted me to do....To be close to her 
brother not as her bro nor not as her lover...just good friends"
"And what's this hospital matter?"
"Didn't you tell him yet Dana?"
"I just couldn't... I didn't want to make him sad.. 
I didn't want to..."
"Dana.. Please tell me I need to know.. I really really 
need to know.."
"Fox.. I'm sorry.."
"Dana....."
(Suddenly Dana falls)
"Dana!! Let's take her to the hospital.."
*****************************************************************
(Hospital)
"So she's got a cancer since.. she was 16.. so she got back 
here when she was 16.. The alien tested her so harshly... gosh...
Oh.. How did you know about this mom? Since when?"
"In a market, I found her looking just like Dana.. and I.. um.."
"You've been hiding it for so long time.. so long..."
"That's what Dana wanted.. She didn't want to make you upset as 
she's dying.."
"So how long is she gonna live now?"
"Doctors say they've done everything they could and um.. all 
they could do is only ease her pain.. Oh she's up.."
"How are you feeling my little sis Dana?"
"Fox... Um... can we go to the shore where we used to play 
together? I want to see the ocean... again..."
"Sure...Mom?"
"Sure.. Take care... Dana... Fox.... I love you both!"
"See ya Day, See ya Fox.."
(Dana and Fox walk out of the room)
"Will you let them love each other? They're brother and 
sister. They can't get married.."
"It's her due day today Alex.. Easy.."
"What? It's her due day? She's dying but you let her
go out to the shore?"
"She've met her brother.. They should spend some time 
together before she dies or Fox will regret it forever..
If they love each other, I think there's no problem 
marrying. Alex.. you love her don't you?"
"Um.. I just mean..."
"Alex.. she's dying.. just let her spend her time with his
bro.."
"Sure ma'am I was just.. um.."
"I know.. I know.."
******************************************************************
"You know what? I loved to play around the shore and see the 
deep blue sea. Remember how you always teased me here!"
"Did I? I can't remember!"
"You're such a bullie Fox..."
"Dana?"
"Hmm?"
"Um......... would you marry me?"
"I'm gonna die soon Fox.. You'll going to regret it.."
"I'm not getting married unless it's you.. only you.. it's gotta 
be you.."
"Prove it then.."
(Dana and Fox sit on the shore and Fox put Dana a ring)
"You ain't gonna die.. When you die before me, I'll always look up
in the sky and talk to you. You must talk back to me right?"
"Ok. Well."
"And you must be always beside me.. When I go to grocery store, 
you must be there with me and help me choose stuffs.."
(Dana has a nosebleed)
"Oh no.. Dana... Are you alright?"
"Um.. Fox.. I'm okay.. I'm a bit dizzy so mind to ... um.. can you 
hug me real tight?"
"Sure... Dana.."
"I love you Fox...Never told you that huh? Seriously..."
"I.."
"Stop it Fox.. Tell me that when I die on my bed"
"Don't say that.. You ain't gonna die.."
"When the death is near, kiss me and look into my eyes, tell me 
that you love me.. As a matter of fact, I knew you loved me since 
I was a child... And I loved you from I was a child."
"So you knew I was your bro? Huh?"
"Yeah... I'm sorry don't get........oh well.. Did you know 
I was Dana?"
"I thought wow this woman really looks like my sis..
The hair.. the way she smiles.. she talks.. she.."
"Well.. So.. you didn't forget me.. you missed me? A lot?"
"So much..."
"I'm sorry I was so mean to you in the Bureau I was just 
too afraid to fall in love with you and you to fall in love with..."
Fox softly kisses her. 
"I love you so much... When you were abducted by aliens, I wish 
they took me instead of you... When Sam came to our house, I thought 
if you and she wasn't changed and were in proper family, you'd never
be taken or get cancer or barren........ I was so angry about myself
why I couldn't protect you and...Dana? Dana? Dana......I haven't 
kissed you properly, I haven't say I love you! Open your eyes 
Dana... Keep looking at me.. Dana... I love you I love you.. as 
a brother and as a lover.. Dana.. I know you can hear me up there 
right? I love you so much.. I really do.. So guess.. I should wait
till you call me? Dana... My sis, my wife.. I love you forever.."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"That's so sad Daddy.. It's just.."
"Hey you've been crying..."
"Oh daddy so that's where my name came from..did you love her?"
"Well.. yes.."
"Oh how sweet..so how's Fox Mulder? Is he still alive? Working in
the FBI?"
"The story's not finished yet Dana..."
"Okay Daddy.. Go on..but how do you know the details so well?"
"They've left diaries.. I've been reading them through.."
"Oh.."
"Fox and I were walking down the street after the funeral with Sam.
As we cross the street, Sam told us that there was the spot the
accident has happened.. remember Scully's car accident?"
"Oh yes Dad.."
"We were crossing the street and I just turned my head to talk to
Fox and cheer him but he wasn't there. So I turned to the street.
He stood middle of the street... then..."
"Dad.. you don't have to talk any further.."
"I should have realized that.. I think he thought about the 
changing of families... If that accident didn't happened,
who knows..maybe they've lived happily forever in just..."
"Dad....."
"Well... he died.. I had to go to his funeral... then during his 
funeral, Ms.Mulder got a stroke and... she.. died too.."
"So all the Scullys and the Mulders died?"
"Yes..."
"Dad... I can't sleep now... it's just too sad...Do you have pics
of them?"
"Sure. I'll go get them."
"She's beautiful... really.."
"Yes..."
"Fox is really good looking.... Dad, if I talk to them, would they
hear me?"
"They'll be around us Dana.. Why don't you try talk to them and 
write them a letter saying your dad is missing them a lot? And
feeling very sorry.."
"Oh dad..."
I went out of her room. It's so stupid how Dana and I both two
cried together.. in the very night.. I opened the window and
looked up in the sky.. There were two shining stars.. 
So shiny.. 
It all happened so quickly.. all in fall..
When I met her, when Fox met her, when she died... all in fall
When I get to them, I wonder what to say to them first..
But I know.. they'll be happy together for now.. no sadness,
no fear, no death, the eternity.. And they might be happy to
hear from Dana, and the fact that I told Dana about them..
A fairy tale of them... A fairy tale of Fall...

-The End-
