First try at X-Files work.  Hope you all enjoy.  Gimme feedback.

"The Scariest Thing"

   Sculder and Mully were afraid of him.  He was a frightening fellow.
The way he looked at you made you want to be scared.  Sculder pulled his
gun but Mully stopped him and said "No, he may not know that he is
scary" and so Sculder did not shoot him.  Mully approached the scary man
and asked him what his name was.

"I have no name Mully," the scary man replied.  

   Mully was scared now.  She backed up because he was scary and he knew
her name.  Sculder pulled out his gun again and this time he shot the
scary guy right in the left arm, just above the wrist.  

"You shot me, Sculder," the man screamed, "why did you shoot me?"

   Sculder told him, "Because you are scary and we know you will hurt us
if we let you."  

"I do not mean to be scary," said the guy, "I was just born that way.
You didn't even give me a chance to get to know me.  You just shot me
for no reasons."

   Mully turned to Sculder and said "He's right, Sculder.  We are as bad
as the scariest guy."  Then she approached the wounded scary guy and
told him to lay down.  He did and she pulled out her surgical knife and
cut open his wound so she could get the bullet out.  Once she got the
bullet out, she wrapped up his arm in a bandage.  "We will take you to
the hospital now and have them sew you up," she told him.

   Sculder and Mully helped the scary guy to their car and into the
backseat.  Then Mully turned to Sculder and said "Sometimes the scary
things aren't what we should be scared of, Sculder."  Then Sculder
thought for a moment and said to her, "You know, Mully, I think the
scariest thing......is fear itself."  They both thought that over as
they drove the wounded scary guy to the hospital.

                 The End

I know it's not too long or anything, but I wanted to get a feel for the
characters first.  Only seen the show a few times but I think it's
great.  Hope you'll all let me know what you thought.  Do you think I
should write a longer version?
