AUTHOR: Mo Mon
DISTRIBUTION: Sure, foward to ATXC if you think it's worth the trouble.
Archive anywhere **as long as my name and email address stay with it.**
DISCLAIMER: Whatever.  They're not mine, if you don't know whose they are,
what are you doing reading this?  Okay, so Sesame Street and Winnie the
Pooh aren't mine either, but I don't know whose they are and it's not like
I'm making money off this or anything.
CLASSIFICATION: Vignette - my first attempt at Humor
RATING: Why, I do believe it's a G.  My NC-17 debut is due sometime in
early 1999, so don't hold your breath or anything.
SPOILERS: Takes place within or immediately after "Christmas Carol."
SUMMARY: Dana Scully has a very peculiar dream...

*A REQUEST: sometime a few months ago, like in September or October soon
after I joined the list, I posted the first one in my "REFLECTIONS IN
SLUMBER" (that was in the subject line) series.  I wanted to save it but
seem to have accidentally deleted it somehow.  If anyone has saved it could
you please send it back to me?  Or does anyone know if it's been archived
and where?  Thanks in advance.

Feedback is very, very welcome.  I repeat, this is my first attempt at
humor and any thoughts are greatly appreciated.  I'm a pyromaniac, alright,
but don't flame me too harshly.  :^)  Enjoy!

REFLECTIONS IN SLUMBER II  (1/1)

  "Which one do you want to read tonight, Emily?" asked Dana, starting up
her laptop.
  "I don't wanna read addennums," Emily whined.
  "Why not, sweetie?  They're educational."  The washing machine had turned
itself on again.  Dana sighed, got up and unplugged it.  The words "YOU
SUCK" appeared on its door in red letters.
  "No!  No more addennums!"  Emily kicked the bed.  "I wanna read Winnie
the Pooh."
  "The big purple horse ate it, Emily.  You know that."
  Just then there was a knock at the door.  Dana answered it and found her
partner standing there.  "Mulder.  What are you doing here?"
  "I can't find it.  Is the Truth in here?"  Fox looked very puzzled, at
least as much as his nonexpressive coutenance could look.
  "I don't think so, why?"
  "Because it isn't out there."
  "Yes it is," said Dana.  The washing machine was now making a loud
mechanical galumping noise.
  "Hi Spooky!" Emily shouted.
  "Do you know where the Truth is?" Fox asked Emily urgently.
  "Yup," Emily replied proudly.  "It's on Sesame Street."
  "Oh.  Okay."  Fox turned abruptly and left.
  Dana walked back over to Emily, who was now captivated by the big purple
horse, who was eating her laptop.
  "Hey!" cried Dana.  The big purple horse flattened its ears at her and
cantered off through the wall with the laptop.
  "There goes another laptop," she muttered.
  "You can't use my WizKid," Emily declared.  "I don't want no addennums on it."
  "Any," Dana corrected as Bill walked into the room.
  "Unky Bill!" yelled Emily.
  "We're gonna die," Bill announced, as if announcing that another bowl of
petunias had fallen from the ceiling.
  Emily was intrigued.  "Really?"
  "How do you know?" demanded Dana.
  "Because the guy with the Morley's cigarettes was looking at me weird."
  "Don't worry," said Emily brightly.  "He does that to everybody."
  "Is that why I never have any e-mail?" Bill wondered.
  "Emily, you've never even seen the man," Dana pointed out.
  "Have too.  He was on Sesame Street this morning."
  "Oh no!  That means they've cloned Prairie Dawn!"  With that, Bill dashed
out the door.
  "And Oscar the Grouch!" Emily called after him.  "Run, Unky Bill, run
like the wind!"
  Several moments later, Dana said to Emily, "Well, maybe you'd rather
watch a movie instead."
  "No, I wanna watch the dolphins."  Emily stood up on the edge of the boat.
  "EmilyS" Dana warned.
  With a fantastic leap, Emily sailed lithely through the air, over the
glimmering water, and onto the back of a passing dolphin.  The dolphin swam
away with Dana's daughter riding it.  "Emily!" Dana called.  "Come back!
*Come back!*  Emily, COME BACK!"

  "Dana?" said a male voice in the dark.  "Dana, are you alright?"  William
Scully found the light switch and flicked it on.
  Dana sat up, rubbed her eyes, shook her head.  "Huh?  What the...?"
  "You were yelling in your sleep."
  "Oh."  She glanced at the clock.  It was three thirteen in the morning.
"That was one screwed up dream."
  "You're alright?"  There was concern in her brother's voice.
  "Yeah.  Yeah, I'm okay."  Pause.  "They didn't *really* clone Prairie
Dawn, did they?"

"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of
petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again.  Many people have speculated that
if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know
a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now."
 - Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy_

Me: An FBI agent!
My sister: Oh yeah.  This is Federal Agent Yoda Scully...
