SUMMARY: Mulder saving Scully's life, get's nailed instead.

"Everybody doesn't like something,
   But nobody doesn't like Sara Lee."
   Advertising jingle.


"Watch your back, Scully," the tall dark Fox Mulder, FBI Special 
Agent told his partner.

"Watch your own butt, partner," was the reply.  Short where he 
was tall, bright where he was dark, Dana Scully, led him to what 
may turn out to be their doom.  They were chasing a bank robber.  
Not normal fare for two of the "FBI's Most Unwanted," but when he 
turned into a serial killer, the AIC called for Fox "Spooky" 
Mulder, the best profiler in the Western Hemisphere, to be on the 
case.  And as an added bonus, you got Dr. Dana Scully, MD, Fellow 
of the American Board of Pathologists.  And all-round crack shot.  

They had traced the man to St. Petersburg Florida.  A sleepy 
little burg whose sole claim to fame was the world's largest 
shuffleboard club.  And a member of the FBI's 10 Most Wanted 
holed up in the Swan Pie Company kitchen.  As they moved through 
the same kitchen, they searched for some sign of the miscreant.  
Billowing around them was the smell of the pies still baking in 
the ovens, they had evacuated the building so quick.

"Wanna stop by a diner for a cup of coffee and some pie when 
we're done here, Scully," Mulder whispered.

A quick glance his way told him that he would be dining alone.  
But the quick movement out of the corner of his eye made him 
understand that his next meal might be far off.  "Scully, hit the 
deck," he shouted as he pushed his diminutive partner out of 
harms reach.  They both heard the growl of hydraulic motors as a 
huge stainless steel vat started to upend its contents over the 
hapless agent.  An agent deluged with gallons of a sticky white 
substance that coated his face, his hair, even his wingtips.

<Oh, God, No,> was redhead's prayer as the thick liquid cascaded 
over her partner.  They had been hit with alien retrovirises, 
weird monsters, even abduction.  Death, and fates worse than 
death was always at the back of their minds.  And now this white 
goo might be the doom of the brave young man that risked his life 
to save her's.

Shots rang out as the members of the elite St. Petersburg SWAT 
team quickly brought down the perpetrator.  Scully only hoped 
that there was enough time to save her partner as she waded into 
the sticky substance.  Ruined hose and shoes would be a small 
price to save this man, her partner, her friend.

As she got to him, he was rising back to his feet, his first move 
was to wipe the stuff from his face, then sniffed what he had 
collected.  "Mulder, be careful, we don't know what it is yet."  
She was worried that it might even then be eating away at their 
skin and clothes.  And here he was sniffing at it.

"Nothing to worry about," his dry tenor assured her.  "It's 
nothing but," he stopped for a second tasting the thick glop, 
"meringue," casually flipping the handful into her face.

Scully sputtered for a moment, wiping the stuff from her face, 
even taking a taste herself.  Thoughts erupted in her mind of her 
personally helping to clean off her partner, wondering what 
flavor Mulder's skin would add to the simple mixture of egg 
whites and sugar as she licked it off him.  <Of course, it is 
nothing but pie meringue, bonehead,> she thought.  She remembered 
the sign, "Sale, Lemon Meringue Pies," on the front window.  
<Dufus,> she chided herself.

They both turned and watched Police Sargent Jimmy Cappel lead the 
perp out of the building.  They turned to look at each other.  
"Can't take you anywhere, Mulder.  Just have to wear your food," 
Scully joked with her partner.  They both knew how close it was.  
How lucky that the perp had decided to drench them with whipped 
eggwhites rather then hot lead.  They headed out of the building.

"Shall we get cleaned up," Mulder started to say as they stepped 
into the bright Florida sun.  A sentence never finished as the 
two got their 15 seconds of fame.  What great examples of the FBI 
they were.  They had risked life and limb to bring in the 
murderer.  They had worked hard and built an airtight case.  And 
what should have been their time in the sun, their time to 
perhaps fleetenly be seen in the public spotlight as heroes, the 
world saw them covered in white goo.

---THE END---

RECIPE:

This story calls for roughly 500 times as much Meringue as you 
would normally make for a pie.

Ingredients:
2000 egg whites
  21 fl oz vanilla extract
  21 fl oz cream of tartar
 190 cups of sugar

Beat the egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tarter at medium speed 
of an electric mixer until soft peeks form.  Gradually add the 
sugar, beating at high-speed until mixture forms stiff glossy 
peaks and sugar is dissolved.

Immediately spread meringue over Mulder, or replacement.  If you 
do not want to bake this treat, it has been reported the Martha 
Stuart says that you can brown meringue with a blow torch.

This recipe has not been tested.  Enjoy at your own risk.
