I've been working on this one for a while, but it has a story behind it. I was sitting at the Homecoming dance (*sittitng*, not dancing) and I thought, "wouldn't a terrorist takeover be nice?" This shows the status of *my* social life. For the last 2 hours of the dance I worked out a rough plot on napkins, and by the time it was over, I had this story. Enjoy!

Live with it. ******************************** Homecoming Part 1 by Ice pallansc@ncifcrf.gov ******************************** Friday Night 8:32pm It was a typical night at a high-school home- coming dance. At one of the many tables, two teenage girls sat chatting instead of dancing. The music was loud and the crowd was large, and everyone was having a great time. The next minute, a small power surge dimmed the music momentarily, but before anybody really took notice, it was over and done with. Everyone went back to the party, except for two people. Both of them looked up at the lights. "Something's wrong," Melody said. "C'mon," replied Jackie. "Let's go check it out." The girls got up and left the dance, heading toward the cafeteria where the refreshments were kept. On the way down the deserted corridor, they saw two adults slumped down on the floor, their faces hidden. Melody and Jackie crouched down and raised the heads of the two unconcious adults. At the sight of the faces they gasped and turned to each other. "You have *got* to be kidding me," Melody exclaimed in disbelief. Melody and Jackie looked back down at the stars of a hit TV series, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. ***************************************** =========================================================================== From: "Ice " Newsgroups: alt.tv.x-files.creative Subject: NEW: Homecoming Part 2 Date: 11 Jan 1996 17:41:19 GMT Disclaimer: See part 1. ENJOY!!! ************************ Homecoming Part 2 by Ice pallansc@ncifcrf.gov ************************ Melody and Jackie shook the two slightly and they began to wake up, Scully before Mulder. "What happened?," Scully asked, still slightly dazed. "Where are we? "You're in Maryland, at the FHS Homecoming Dance, Ms. Anderson." Jackie replied with some confusion. "Who?" Scully asked. "You must be mistaken. I'm Dana Scully with the FBI." Melody smiled slightly and addressed 'Mulder'. "And I suppose you're Fox Mulder, Mr. Duchovney?" "How did you know that?," Mulder asked suspiciously. "And who is 'Mr. Duhovney'? "This is *great*, Jackie! They even act confused." "I know, Mel. These guys are great impersonaters." "Is that who you think we are," Scully demanded. Jackie, who now looked a bit goosed, spoke to Mel. "Ummmm.....Mel? Can I see you over by the lockers for a sec?" "Yeah, sure," said Mel, who was more than a little confused. The two girls got up and walked across the hall. "Mel," Jackie whispered quitckly. "I think we have an honest-to-god X-File here." Jackie glanced over at the two adults, who were helping each other up. "You remember the other day when we were discussing the possibility of parallel realities? And how sometimes something happens and they overlap?" "Yeah," Melody said. "Now hold on just a damn minute! You're suggesting that these people actually *are* Mulder and Scully, and that they're stuck in *this* reality for some reason!?!?! "Yes," said Jackie calmly. "That's what I think." Melody shrugged. "Ok, cool. So what are we gonna do with them?" "You mean aside from the stuff we *want* to do with Mulder," Jackie said with a sly smile. "Of course, you perv," Melody grinned. "Not that I'm not worse than you." Jackie grinned with Mel, but then became serious. "The best thing to do would be to take them back to your house, I think. Especially since your parents and the kids are out of town for two weeks. Do you have your keys?" "You're right," Mel agreed. "Yeah, I've got them in this god-awful purse. I'll stay here and help them get oriented with their situation while you go tell Nat and Kevin that we're leaving. Have them call us if anything else happens." "Ok," Jackie said. "Be right back." Jackie began walking back to the dance, while Mel turned to Mulder and Scully. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced," Melody began. "My name is Melody Parker, and my associate is Jackie Wagner. She'll be back momentarily. You, I already know." Melody surprised Mulder by offering him her hand. She surprised him further by the strength of her grip. Melody continued shaking his hand, which he had to admit, was beginning to hurt. "Ummm...you can let go now!" Mulder said as he was left shaking his hand. "How do you know who we are?" Scully questioned. "I don't recall ever meeting you or your friend." "You wouldn't," Mel replied. "Here's what I think happened. In the world, my friend and I believe that parallel realities exist. You existed in a reality where you worked in the X-Files division of the FBI." "Wait a minute," Mulder protested. "Are you trying to tell me that we're something *else* here?!" "Ummm....you could say that," Melody replied. "Lets assume for a second that I actually believe you," Scully said. "*What*, praytell, are we?" Melody sighed. "The stars of a cult hit TV show called the X-Files that comes on Friday nights at 9pm." "You're kidding," Mulder said in a disbelieving tone. "Nope," Melody said. "You guys can even watch it if Jackie gets back here within the next century. It's on in about 15 minutes." "Where are we going?" asked Scully. "My house," Mel said. "The family's out of town for the next two weeks, and if anyone saw you two there would be a mob scene." "We're *that* popular?!" Scully said with disbelief. "More so," Melody confirmed. "Your autographs, or at least those of your counterparts, are $50 each." Jackie, who had come up behind them, now spoke. "Not that it stopped us from getting copies." Jackie reached out to shake hands with Mulder and Scully, who were again surprised at the strengthof the teen's grip. "Hi, I'm Jackie Wagner," she said. "I assume that Mel explained the situation to you?" "Sort of," Mulder said. "But we still have a few questions." "We'll do our best to answer them," Mel said, "But first can we blow this pop-stand and go someplace safer?" "Lead on, MacDuff," Mulder said whimsically. Melody and Jackie both rolled their eyes and sighed. "It's *LAY* on, MacDuff, tonto," Mel explained in no uncertain terms. "Yeah, burrito boy, get it right," Jackie said with a twinge of annoyance. Scully hid a smile while Mulder just glared at her. "C'mon," Mel said. "If we dont hurry, we'll miss X-Files, and I can't remember which episode is playing tonight." As they were going out the door, Scully, looking more than slightly amused, asked, "Are you two big fans?" "Naaaw," Jackie said. "We only have almost every episode from 3 seasons on tape. "Not to mention every piece of X-files parafanalia out." Melody added. "You're forgetting something Mel," Jackie reminded her. "Oh yeah," Mel said. "Every piece of Fanfic ever written." "Fanfic?" Mulder asked. "Yup." Jackie replied. "There's a creative writing group on the Internet dedicated to the X-Files. You know: Fan- Fiction." "Let me guess," Scully said in a wry tone of voice. "You two are writers as well?" "That's right." said Jackie. "We've been writing since the show began, but it took us 2 years to figure out how to post." "I think I might have to take a look at that group," said Mulder thoughtfully. "Ummm...," Mel said hesitantly. "I'm not so sure that's a good idea." "Why not?," said Scully, with a puzzled look on her face. "Let's just say that some of the stories are a little.... ...creative," Jackie said by way of a vague explaination. "Well," Mulder began, "I can understand that, but....." Melody cut him off with her blunt explaination. "Some people write smut, Mulder, OK? There's a *ton* of people out there who want to see a "Mulder/Scully Relationship" thing get started. Old C.C. wont stand for it, though." "Who's "C.C." and how can I get in touch with him to thank him," Scully asked quickly. Mulder gave Scully his best puppy-dog face. Jackie smiled. "Chris Carter. He's the Executive Producer of the show. As to getting in touch with him, as far as we can tell, you can't. We've tried." Mulder gave them a questioning look. "How come?" "We want to write for him. Just a little fantasy of ours." Mel said wistfully. "Anyhow, here we are; Home Sweet Home, or whatever." ********************************************* Well? Like it? Hate it? I NEED MAIL!!
