Chris Carter shuffled some papers as he gazed across the table at John Shiban who scooted up in his chair. "Ye-yes Chris I--" he was cut off. "Ahem. After Teso Dos Bichos? I think not. That's sir." Chris sat back in his chair. "Yes sir Mr. Carter sir. Well you see I-I've got an idea for a new episode." There were sighs all around the room as James Wong whispered to Glen. "Mr. Big shot pulls us off X-files and lets this clown stay on?" he commented sarcastically as Glen Morgan leaned forward. "I know. Who does he think he is, moving us onto Millennium? And have you previewed Darin's new ep? Now I know he's my brother but I think he'd be better writing for Scooby Doo." James snickered as Chris cleared his throat. "That's enough people. What ya got chupey." He stifled a laugh himself as an outburst broke around him and John stood. "I don't have to take this! I'm leaving." He started toward the door as Glen and James started cheering. Just as John reached for the door, it flew open. "Who are you?" Chris turned his swivel chair around to face the entity that had entered the door. She was tall, blonde, and looked to be in her early teens. She had an X-file shirt on depicting Duane Barry on, a black `X' hat, black jeans, and a jacket reflecting the images of Mulder and Sully. "Your salvation Mr. Carter." She answered mysteriously. "Pretty cool huh? Just like off the show, que music....now!" she took a step forward shutting the door behind her. "No seriously I am here to help you." she glanced back at a still John Shiban as she ground her teeth slightly. "Why don't you have a seat chupey." He slid past her. "Oh by the way I loved El Mundo Gira." He sat. "Really?" he smiled as she nodded. "No." Chris smiled as she shook her head. "Now, I'm here to talk to you all." She grabbed a chair. "About what?" Spotnitz asked from a corner. "Oh Frank I am so sorry. I saw Travelers and--" she bit back her tears. "I'm so sorry you had to work with Mr. No talent over there." she pointed to Shiban. "Anyways." She moved on. "I'm here to talk to you about The X-files. The episodes." She walked back toward Chris. "Great another fan." He yawned. "Bite your tongue Mr. Carter for your gonna wanna hear what I have to say." She again said mysteriously. "Damn I'm good. Through that blonde bimbo Laurie Holden out and take me." she smiled. "Holden's gotta go. Seriously. Hello. I'm Marita Covarrubiashhhhhhhhhh." She imitated as Glen laughed. "One can only take so much of her. And what is this with her and Krycek? He could do so much better!" she straightened her hat. "All in favor of dropping the dits?" she questioned as all but Chris raised his hand. "All righty then moving on." she was cut off. "Hold on just a minute now. This is my show and I will not be pushed around by some punky fan!" he ordered loudly. "Well right now it looks like you need some help from the fans. Do you ever take the time to go online and check what your fans say? You, your show, and staff are adored Mr. Carter. We give you our undying devotion and so do you. Or at least you used to. Ever since season 4 you've really gone down. And as for this season, what happened to mythology? We've got Redux, Redux II (a personal fave.") she whispered. "Patient X, and The Red and The Black. Why don't you admit it. You're pulling some of these eps outta your ass. What about Post Modern Prometheus? Come on! Cute? Yes. X-file? No. You've forgotten what X-files is all about." She took a breath to make it sound more dramatic. "Faith. Faith from the characters and faith from the fans. You're losing your faith Mr. Carter. I'm here speaking for all X-Philes. We want to help you get back that faith the show so desperately relies on." There were claps around the room. "So will you let me help you? Will you let us help you?" she asked looking down. "You're right. You file-o-philes." He laughed. "Are what keep this show going. I should have realized it before." He looked down. "Then lets get to work!" Glen chipped as the girl sat down. 2 weeks later girls home. Amy (girl = Patty's friend): "Did you see t'night's ep?" Patty: "Oh yeah. I cried me little eyes out when Mulder found out Samantha was still out there!" Arwen (another friend): "But he regained his faith." Amy: "Hence the name Renewed Faith. : )" Patty: "You guys think we did it?" Arwen: "I know we did ;)" *everyone winks* xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So it bit. Sue me! (not literally CC I'm just a broke kid with glasses)
