Rating : probably R, for sexual content Spoiler: none Summary: Mulder has a dream that is a lot like Romeo and Juliet, where Scully and himself are the main characters. Disclaimer: Mulder, Scully, Skinner, X and who ever else I use from the X-files in here arent mine. Im just playing with them. They are owned by Chris Carter, 1013 productions and all those other lucky people who have something to do with The X-Files. Oh and of course they belong to David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and all those other wonderful people who get to make these characters live and breathe. Also Romeo and Juliet is not mine either I am just playing with it and using it for my own fun. Music from the movie is not mine either. No copyright infringement intended. Anyone else in here is just a figment of my imagination. Authors comments: this is my first fanfic so be nice. Im not an author, just a student. I know you might think the summary is strange but I just had to write this story. It was in my head for ages(probably because I only have Romeo and Juliet and X-Files stuff in my room), so I thought I might write it down and see what you all thought. I know its a little unbelievable at times, but thats what The X-Files is supposed to be isnt it!!!! Comments, suggestions and flames are welcome(maybe the flames arent as welcome as the others, but Ill read them anyway), just send them to the addie at the beginning of this page. Star crossed lovers:part 1 by Juliet906 FBI Headquarters, basement 10:45pm "Im going home now Scully, you should too," said Mulder as he picked up his jacket and slung it over his shoulder. "Its been a long day," agreed Scully, picking up her jacket and briefcase. "I think I might go home and relax in front of the TV. Baz Luhrmanns Romeo and Juliet is on ABC at about 11:00pm," said Scully as they headed for the exit. "Thats one of my favourite movies," said Mulder, in a sarcastic voice. Scully looked at him sideways, trying to work out if he is telling the truth or just teasing her. "Goodnight Mulder," she said as they reached their cars. "Goodnight Scully," Mulder replied as he jumped into his car. Mulders apartment 1:00am 'A glooming piece this morning with it brings, the sun for sorrow will not show his head, go hence to have more talk of these sad things. Some shall be pardoned and some punished. For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo.' And with a flick, Mulder turned off his TV set. 'I suppose that wasnt too bad,' he said to himself 'Not too bad at all.' And for the first time in as long as Mulder could remember, he felt he was going to sleep the whole night. Bright lights flashed and music thumped as Scully tried to make her way over to where their client was. She felt stupid in the costume, but Mulder had decided that if they wanted to stay inconspicuous, they should dress in costume. The person they were watching was the host of the party and they had been assigned to this case, so that nothing spooky would happen. It wasnt their usual preference for a case, but they decided to take it anyway. "Would you like to dance?" a voice asked from behind. Scully whirled around to find a green alien standing behind her. "Of course Mulder," she replied with a little chuckle. She thought his costume was rather cute, and felt less embarrassed to be in hers, now that she was with him. "Having fun are we Captain?" Mulder asked, laughing with her. "Oh yes, terrific fun," Scully replied as they twirled around the dance floor. Mulder kept his eyes on her constantly as they spun around the room a couple of times. Although, once he did take his eyes off her, but only to make sure that their client was alright. When the music stopped, they walked out onto the balcony, which was brightly lit, and had a great view of the ocean. They sat down near the railing and looked out at the ocean. "Isnt it beautiful?" Scully asked. "Yes its wonderful," he replied, his eyes shining brightly. He had one of his most brilliant smiles, lighting up his face so Scully knew he had answered truthfully. Suddenly he leaned over her and lightly brushed his lips against hers. When they touched, Scully felt such a jolt of electricity, that she knew they were meant to be together. Mulder knew it too, and this time kissed her more intently. "You know what?!?!?!?" he said, as he kissed her along her jaw line "I think I love you." "You know, I was about to say the same thing," Scully replied, and kissed him more passionately than she had ever kissed anyone before. "Ive loved you ever since we first met," Scully said as she looked deep into his eyes. When she did this she knew with all certainty that the feeling was mutual. Suddenly Mulder was down on his knees in front of her. Totally in shock, she asked him what he was doing. "Close your eyes," he replied. She did as she was told, and when she reopened them he was holding the most beautiful ring in his hand. "Dana Katherine Scully," he said in a slow purposeful way "Will you marry me???" He slipped the gorgeous ring on her finger and smiled his most brilliant smile. Scully just sat there for a moment, wondering if this was really happening. She looked at the man she had been partners with for four years, and with tears in her eyes she replied "Of course I will Mulder." They kissed again, just as intensely as ever, and then parted. "I think maybe we should go and check on Mrs Peterson." It was decided then and there that they would tell no other soul about this until they knew the time was right. They just couldnt do it to themselves. Destroying the thing that had brought them together, their work, would be almost as bad as destroying their relationship at this moment in time. The next day, after much planning, they decided to go to the church where Scully had been Christened, and be married. Scully wore her most beautiful dress, a long cream silk one with a high collar. She had wanted a big wedding, but decided that just being able to be with the man she loved was enough. Mulder, looking just as handsome as ever in his navy blue suit, had a quiet word with the priest, saying that he wanted their wedding kept a secret. The priest promised to do this, although he secretly wondered why this was so important!!! After the ceremony was over and theyd signed all the necessary papers, they decided to go back to Mulders apartment. Since it was a Saturday, they knew they wouldnt be missed at work, so they though they would spend the rest of the day, having a wonderful time being husband and wife. When they arrived at Mulders front door, Mulder picked Scully up and carried her over the threshold. Kissing each other with a greater hunger this time, they ended up in his living room, lying on the couch. Mulder undid the zipper on the back of Scullys dress and pulled the front of it down, so that they could have the first proper touch, skin to skin. He ran his hand over her breasts and felt the electricity as they got used to this new feeling of each other. She nuzzled into his neck, slowly kissing and touching every piece of bare skin she could find. She decided to sit up for a moment, and slipped out of her the rest of her dress. Mulder took off his shirt while she was doing this. Next Scully helped to undress Mulder the rest of the way, and after doing this they lay back down again. When they were lying back down again, Scully felt Mulder enter her. The feeling was so great that she moaned softly. "Oh Scully," Mulder moaned in reply. Just as they both started to really reach their climax, they heard a knock on Mulders apartment door. Suddenly it was flung open, and Assistant Director Skinner entered the room. They sprang apart as quickly as possible, feeling embarrassed and shocked that they had been found during such a private moment like this. "What in the hell is going on here??" Skinner asked in his usual questioning voice. The two were desperately trying to cover themselves and didnt get a chance to answer him, before he started again. "Just what do you two think you are up to. Cant you control yourselves any more. You know that you are supposed to keep your personal lives and work separate. Well now youve gone and changed everything. Thats it, I want the both of you up and dressed and in my office in an hour," Skinner yelled, and turned quickly on his heel and sped out of the room, and the apartment. Mulder and Scully just lay there, staring at each other, trying to get over the shock of getting caught and also still trying to control themselves. Mulder looked at Scully. "Uh oh, I think the worst has just happened. Skinner is pretty upset. We should do what he says and go and listen to him," he said, kissing her once more, before getting up and dressing. Scully just lay there, still in shock. After a few minutes, she got up and dressed herself too. Soon after, they were in the car, travelling as fast as they could, to get to Skinners office in time. When they arrived and were seated in Skinners office, he started to tell them what he had come to Mulders apartment for. It was to tell Mulder what a great job they had done the night before. But when he found them on the couch, he got such a shock that he just blew up. And then he told them the most destructive news they would ever hear. Because of this latest incidence, he was transferring Mulder to an out of town office. "But sir, you cant do that," they both replied in worried voices. "Just because you saw us together.... well that doesnt mean you have to transfer me," said Mulder. "Oh yes it does," Skinner replied "And its exactly what Im going to do. Pack your bags Mulder, your leaving town tomorrow morning. Now the both of you, get out!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hearing the anger in his voice and knowing that he meant what he said, they both quickly got up and exited the room. "I cant believe hes doing this to me," exclaimed a worried and saddened Mulder, as they pulled out of the car park. "Just after seeing one little thing, he goes and blows his lid and transfers me." Mulders apartment 7:05am "I cant believe this is still happening," exclaimed Mulder as he and Scully hugged, as if they would never see each other again. "Maybe he believes hes doing it for our own good," said Scully Oh well, dont worry. No matter what happens, Ill find a way to be with my husband, even if its the last thing I do." "What do you think he would have done if we had of told him we were married?" asked Mulder, smiling a cute smile at Scully. "He probably would have killed us," she replied and kissed her beloved husband so intensely that it nearly knocked them both over. After watching Mulder drive off, Scully decided to go back to her apartment and change. But she just couldnt get up the courage to move away from the window. And to leave this apartment. She lay down on the couch and burst into tears. "How could this be happening to me?" she asked herself "We finally tell each other how we feel about one another, and then Skinner has to go and transfer him. Just because of one little thing." She lay on the couch crying for the rest of the day, not having enough energy to move. At about 7:30pm she fell asleep. Dreaming about Mulder was the only way she was going to see him for a while, so she was glad she could still do that. FBI Headquarters, Assistant Director Skinners office 9:05am "Scully Im sorry I had to do this," said Skinner in a quiet voice "But I believe that it is for your own good." Scully wouldnt talk to him. She just sat there, looking out the window. Her eyes were red and puffy, from all the crying she had done the day before, and she was so very tired. "But I have some good news for you. So you dont have to work by yourself on the X-files, I have decided to close down that division and relocate you. You will have a new partner, called John Costa, and be working with the medical team. John is a great man and Im sure youll enjoy working with him," said Skinner, trying to make this news sound as good as possible. This only made things worse for Scully. Since she didnt want to let Skinner see her crying, she just blew up at him. "How can you think that is a good thing????? First you make the man I love leave town and then you think Ill be happy to just forget him and go on working with some one else!!!! Well youve got it all wrong," yelled Scully, and before Skinner could say anything more, she got up and left the room, slamming the door behind her. Scully didnt stay at work that day, instead she went to visit some good friends of hers and Mulders, who she knew would do anything for her. out of town some where, near Mulders new location 10:51am I cant do this, thought Mulder I cant go on living if I have to be without Scully. I love her too much, and to not have her here with me, well its just the worst thing that could ever happen to me. If only there was something I could do. Lone Gunmens Hangout 12:01pm "Well if it isnt the lovely Miss Scully," said Frohike "And where would Mulder be today????" As soon as he said that name, Scully burst into tears. The three men around her, just stood there in shock, wondering what had happened. After she had calmed down a bit, she told them the story. They were in even more shock after hearing this news, and just stood there looking at her for a minute. Byers was the first one to speak again asking Scully how she wanted THEM to help her with this problem!!!! "Well I was kind of hoping you could make it so that we could be together again!!!"she replied. "How did you think wed be able to do that???" they asked. After a lot of talking, they finally came up with an idea that they knew would never fail. Post Office 3:37pm "I would like this letter to be posted express post," said Frohike. "OK sir, Ill just get you to fill out this form, and then Ill tell you about the prices and everything," the woman behind the counter replied. "No I dont have time for that, cant I just fill it out, and pay for it and get it sent straight away!!!! Its very important that this gets delivered to the person today!!!!!!!!!" exclaimed Frohike, getting frustrated that this woman didnt know just how important this letter was. And he couldnt tell her why either. So after having to listen to her explain everything, he finally got the letter sent, being reassured that it would definitely get to the person by tonight!!! Mulders apartment 5:00pm Scully sat on the couch where they had made love for the first time, and realised that this would be the last thing she would get to touch!!! She started crying realising how much she still missed her beloved husband and knew that this was the only way she could be happy. She pulled the gun out of her pocket, and placed it against her temple. "Im sorry Mulder, but I have to do this!!!" and with a bang she was dead. Her body slumped on the couch, her hand having fallen back down onto her lap after the gun had gone off. A neighbour of Mulders had heard the gun shot and decided to come in and see what had happened, before calling the police. When the man saw the dead body on the couch, he was in such shock, that he ran to the nearest phone to inform the police of this disaster, straight away. Assistant Director Skinners Office 6:05pm Skinners phone started to ring just as he was about to leave his office for the night. He walked over to his desk, deciding not to let it ring out as it might be something important. "Hello is this Assistant Director Skinner, of the FBI," asked a questioning voice on the other end of the phone. "Yes it is, who is this??" replied Skinner. "Um this is Police Chief Jack Blothered. I have some terrible news about one of your agents. A Miss Dana Katherine Scully to be exact." "Oh my God. What has happened to her??" asked Skinner, sounding very concerned. He suddenly remembered the scene in his office today, and how awful it had been to see Scully so upset like that. Especially knowing that it was mostly his fault. "Im terribly sorry to inform you of this, but she was found dead in an Agent Fox Mulders apartment, about an hour ago. We just IDd the body and found out she was one of yours, so I decided to phone you straight away. It appears she has committed suicide!!!" "What???!!!???" yelled Skinner, in an even more concerned voice "Committed suicide, but why would she do that???!!!??!??!? And how did she do it??!!!???" "It was a single gunshot wound to her head," said the police officer "Im terribly sorry to have to tell you this, but I thought you would like to know straight away. We will be contacting her mother, to get her to make a formal ID, or would you like to contact her???" "Um I think it would be best if you did it," said Skinner in a very depressed voice "I dont think I could handle talking to the mother of one of my best agents, straight after she had committed suicide." And with that Skinner hung up the phone, and just sat at his desk, thinking if it was all his fault that she had done this. He picked up his car keys and decided not to go straight home, but to drive out to where Mulder was and inform him of this horrible tragedy. Star Crossed Lovers: Part 2 by Juliet906 for disclaimer and comments see part one. Note from the author: This continues straight on from Star Crossed Lovers, Part 1. You definitely need to read that first. Oh and Im not sure if there is a hospital in Washington D.C. called Petersberg, I just thought of that name straight away. If there is I didnt mean to use it. Really I didnt!!!!! Oh and by the way the ending is a little mushy, but who cares, arent they all. And another thing I just thought I'd tell you is that Scully doesn't have cancer in either of these parts of this story. where ever it is that Mulder is now 7:02pm Mulder sat in his car looking out at the ocean. "I love Scully too much to let this be happening," he said to himself in a very sad voice. He hadnt been home all day, therefore he had missed receiving the most important letter of his life. He put the key in the car and started the engine. He drove home, in no great hurry, since there was nothing there of importance too him. When he did arrive home to his new apartment, he was surprised to see Skinners car out the front. As he walked up to the front of the building, he didnt notice the note from the post office telling him of a very important letter that was there. As he reached his front door, he noticed that it was slightly open, realising that Skinner must have decided to let himself in. He found the man, sitting on an uncomfortable couch, the only piece of furniture in the dark apartment. "Listen Skinner...." Mulder started, but he was abruptly stopped, by a noticeably upset A.D. "Mulder, Im terribly sorry to have to do this to you, but I have some bad news for you. Umm," said Skinner, his voice now barley audible " I received a phone call from Police Chief Jack Blothered today saying that they had found a suicide victim in one of my agents apartments. It turns out that Agent Scully has committed suicide Mulder." Mulder just stood there looking at his A.D. "Sir are you sure, this cant be right, you must be lying," answered an angered Mulder, as he leaned towards the man he now seemed to hate with such a force that Skinner believed he was going to be killed. "Mulder, NO!!!" yelled Skinner "I am telling you the truth, how do you think I could lie to you about such a thing. Look I know you must blame me for this...." "Know!!!!!! How could you know anything about how Im feeling now. And of course I blame you, your the one who separated us and made me move all the way out of town so that I couldnt be with her. And we were only just married too." Hearing this last little sentence leave his lips, Mulder finally let the tears roll down his face. Skinner only just heard the sentence and was in such shock, that he knew this man would not want him in his apartment any more, so he left. Just as simple as that he got up and walked out. Petersberg Hopital, Washington D.C. Private wing, Room 350. 8:30pm "Scully, wake up Scully. Hey Dana!" called Frohike. Scully opened her eyes slowly, as if they were as heavy as bricks. The drugs they had given her to make her pass out, were stronger than she thought possible. "Ugh, mph," she mumbled, her head pounding "Why didnt you guys tell me the proper effects of these drugs???" Frohike, Langly and Byers silently looked at each other. Finally Langly answered her "Because we knew that you probably wouldnt agree with the plan if we told you everything about them. Anyway they will wear off soon." Everything had been a success so far. The clone had done its purpose well, fooling the police chief and everyone else who had been at the crime scene. "Are you sure that Mulder got the note??" queried Scully, looking slightly worried. "Yeah the woman at the post office assured me that it would get to him straight away," replied Frohike. "Lets just hope that he gets here soon," said Byers. hospital morgue 9:00pm Mulder walked along the corridor, his head low, and shoulders hunched. As he approached the desk at the end of the corridor, he slowly stopped, to take a deep breath. My God I cant believe I have to do this, thought Mulder Scully must have put me one of those damn, if in an emergency, cards. Just after Skinner had left his new apartment, the phone had rung. It was the Police Chief that had told Skinner about Scully. He said that they hadnt been able to contact Mrs Scully yet, and so they wanted him to come down and identify the body. He had thought about saying no, he couldnt, but then decided that he needed to know if this was really happening. He approached the woman at the desk, and told her what he was here for. "Come right this way sir," she replied, getting up from her desk she walked towards the large plastic doors that were too his right. He slowly followed her down another corridor, too the viewing room. She opened the door and Mulder followed her into the room. "Are you ready??" she said, standing next too the body on the table, covered in a white hospital sheet. "Yes," he mumbled, finally managing to speak. She lifted the sheet from the face of the body. Mulder sucked in a quick breath. It was her, it was really her, his mind screamed. Suddenly his eyes filled with tears. He couldnt believe that it was actually her. Seeing the grief in Mulders eyes the women really didnt want to have to ask this question, but she needed vocal conformation. "Um sir," she stuttered "Is that her??" Mulder nodded his head "Yes" was all that he could manage to spit out. "Could I have a minute here please?" he asked. "Certainly sir," replied the woman, as she quietly left the room, closing the door behind her. "Oh Scully," he cried as he picked up her limp fingers "Why did you have to do this??? You should have known that I would somehow find a way to be with you." He bent over the body, and started to cry more than he ever had before. His shoulders were shaking and his chest heaved as he tried to breath at the same time. Her face still looked so beautiful, he thought Even after all shes done too herself. His head ached and his face was all red and puffy for all of the crying he had done of the past couple of hours. Suddenly he knew what he must do. He couldnt live without Scully in his life, never able to hold her again, never able to kiss her and feel the passion that the only person he had ever trusted, made him feel. Mulder hauled himself up off of the floor, which is where he had settled himself, and made his way out of the horrible room. He walked thorugh the plastic swinging doors, that he had come through, and walked straight past the woman at the desk. She didnt say anything too him, because she knew that he woudl never hear it. Mulder kept walking along the hispital corridors, until he came too an empty room. He walked into room 349, shutting the door behind him. Quickly glancing around the room, he found what he was looking for. Room 350 10:25pm Frohike looked out the door and was surprised to see Mulder coming up the corridor. Finally he was here, he thought, taking a step back into the room. "What?? What is it Frohike???" asked a still slightly sleepy Scully. "Hes here," he replied, a huge smile spreading across his face. He opened the door to find an empty corridor. "Whered he go??" he asked nobody in particular. Scully was up out of bed in an instant, at Frohikes side. "Maybe he went into one of the other rooms by accident," she said, walking slowly out the door. Room 349 10:29pm Mulder took the cap off of the drug filled syringe. He knew that the drug would soon leave him unconscious, then it would stop his heart, and shortly after that his breathing would stop. He sat on the bed and raised the hand with the syringe in it too his other arm. Suddenly the door too the room he was in swung open. It gave Mulder such a fright, that he jumped and sent the needle into his arm, pushing all of the liquid out into his body. "My God Mulder," Scully cried "What are you doing???" "Scully," he whispered, but the drug had already started working, so he couldnt say anything else but "I love you!!" "No Mulder," she cried again "I thought you knew I was still alive." But by the look on his face when she had walked into the room, she knew that this had not been true. "No Mulder, you cant die. Im still alive," she screamed, feeling for a pulse that she knew would not be there. Her eyes filled with tears and as they started to stream down her face, she saw the gun in Mulders waist band. She reached for the gun and placed it too her forhead. With shaky hands and legs she sat on the bed next to the too still body of the man she loved. She picked up his hand and lifted it too her mouth, she lightly brushed her lips against it for the last time ever. She then pulled the trigger on the gun, and fell to the bed, beside her best friend and partner. Mulder woke with a start. He was covered in sweat. Had that only been a dream, he thought too himself. He looked at his watch. It was 4:02am. He took a deep breath, still unable to shake the reality of his dream. He looked at the phone across from him. Picking it up he dialed the all too familiar number. Finally after 6 or 7 rings, Scully answered her phone. "Scully," she said in a tired and slightly annoyed voice. "Uh Scully its me," said Mulder " I had a dream that we both died and I was worried. It was so real." Scully cut into his mumbling and blubbering "Im fine Mulder. Go back too sleep will you. And Ill see you in the morning. OK." "OK," he replied. He hung up his phone carefully and lay back down on his couch. But it had been so real, he thought So strange!!! END!!!!!!!
