Thompson Source: direct Reply To: kjt1575@juno.com Title: Superman Wearing Eyeliner Author: Kelly J. Thompson Rating: PG I Think Category: Song fic, MSR, Humor, Fluff Spoilers: None that I'm aware of. Summary: Mulder gets a new CD. Laughter and dancing ensue. Feedback: Happily taken at kjt1575@juno.com. Kind words make me happy, flames amuse me, so either way I have a nice feeling after I get feedback. Disclaimer: If they were mine I would actually be quite happy right now and, wouldn't have take refuge in my overactive imagination to get me through this faux season. But alas, they belong Chris Carter and the other Nazis at 1013. So, I'll just have to make do with my imagination. Additional Disclaimer: Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora and, appears on the CD Crush by Bon Jovi. This song is so quirky that it reminded me of Mulder so I had to use it. I also mention Thank You For Loving me in this story. No copyright infringements intended. Author's Notes: This story came about while I was listening to the Crush CD. I found Captain Crash to be strangely Mulder. You know like a song he'd like. This is pure fluff there is no educational value in this fic at all but, it did help me out of my pissed off stage for a few hours so, it was good for something. This has not been beta read, seeing as I don't have a beta reader so, please forgive any mistakes contained in this story. THIS FIC HAS PROUDLY BEEN DECLARED DOG FREE. *********************************** Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora) Dressed up for a big date Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face She was one of a kind She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella And roller skates in bed He rides the Greyhound from his hometown When he comes around 'cause they don't let him drive now Mixed up as a milkshake But make no mistake They're shooting for the stars Chorus You and me We're invincible together We can be oh so tragical, whatever Dressed up just like Ziggy but he couldn't play guitar Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars Share a toothpick, trading lipstick Watching traffic for days at the diner Holding hands, making big plans Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner Another local legend and his longtime lucky charm Repeat chorus They're drunk on love as you can get Getting high on lust and cigarettes Living life with no regrets At least they're gonna try to fly Chorus You and me We're invincible together We can be oh so tragical, whatever We're Sid and Nancy Fred and Ginger Clyde and Bonnie Liz and Richard Kurt and Courtney Bacall and Bogie Joltin' Joe and Ms. Monroe Here's Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars ************************************* Superman Wearing Eyeliner By: Kelly J. Thompson kjt1575@juno.com Scully entered Mulder's apartment wary of the reason he asked her over. He had been so playful and mischievous on the phone she was almost afraid to come over especially since they had to work in the morning. Music was blaring and she couldn't see Mulder but, she could most definitely hear him. He's singing? Okay, he's in a weird mood wonder what I'm in for tonight she thought as his dancing form came into view. " Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner." " Mulder, what the hell are you singing? " He must have jumped a mile when he heard her that she couldn't contain the giggle that burst out of her. Then he turned and smiled his beautiful smile at her, the one that made her fall in love with him all over again. " Oh, Scully you're here, good." He looked so young and carefree when he walked over and kissed her. She wouldn't mind staying in the moment forever but, she had to find out just what he was singing. " Mulder, as wonderful as your kisses are, I did ask you a question first." " You asked me a question? Funny, I could've sworn all you said was boo." He was using his bedroom voice to distract her and, it was working. She had to compose herself if she ever wanted to find out what that silly song he was singing was. " Come on Mulder, what was that song you were singing? " " I wasn't just singing Scully, I was performing." " Well, what song were you performing then? " " That song is why I asked you to come over." " You asked me to come over here just because of a song, Mulder? " " Yes, remember you asked me to find songs that I thought we could use as our song so we could make a list and decide from there? Well I found the song I want, and I was kind hoping to get lucky later on." Like usual she chose to ignore his last statement. I'll tackle the last part after we discuss this song issue she thought. " You're not saying that you want that silly song you were just sing... I mean performing to be our song are you? " " That silly song is called Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars. Yes, it may sound silly but it talks about an unusual love story and, I think our love story is out of the ordinary and the song made weird sort of sense to me when I thought about our relationship so, I picked it as my choice for our song, Scully." " But, Mulder, I heard you sing something about Superman wearing eyeliner. I won't have a song like that played as our song at our wedding reception." " I let you talk me into a big wedding so, you should at least listen to my choice of a song once, okay? " " Mulderrrr.... I don't kn....." " Scully, pleeeeeeease!!! " He had the most pathetic look on his face at that moment and, he looked so unbelievably cute she had no choice but to agree to listen to his song. " Okay, I'll listen to the song but, I make no promises." " Just give it a fair chance. That's all I ask." With those words said, he took both of her hands in his and lead her to the stereo walking backwards while facing her the whole way with a huge smile on his face. When they reached the stereo Mulder let go of Scully's hands and began to get the song ready to play for her. As he was doing that Scully spotted a CD case sitting by the stereo and, picked it up. " Mulder, since when do you like Bon Jovi?" " Oh, well I got that CD because I heard a song of theirs on the radio this morning, I thought would be a good song for us I think it's called Thank You for Loving Me or something like that but, I listened further on into the CD and heard Captain Crash and picked it instead." " Why, Mulder? I've heard Thank You for Loving Me and, I think it would be a wonderful song to use." " Scully, you said you would listen to my song and give it a chance." " I did and, I will, I was just wondering why you changed your mind that's all." " Just listen, Scully." Just then the beginning music started. " Mulder this song sounds way too fast for a wedding song" " Maybe, it is but it's still my choice. Dance with me? " He held his hand out to her and she just stood there wondering why she was lucky enough to have this man in her life. As the lyrics started Mulder grabbed her and twirled her around the room. She was lost in laughter and affection while they danced. She tried to focus more on the lyrics when Mulder sung in her ear. " You and me, We're invincible together We can be oh so tragical, whatever." He stopped singing after that one line. Their dancing had slowed to a sway. She looked into his eyes and right then she understood a little better why he liked this song so much. " Let's just say, that particular line hit me like a ton of bricks but, to me the whole song just spoke a thousand words. I don't know why exactly it just does. You understand now, Scully? " " A little Mulder, I understand a little. But, I still think it's way too fast." At that statement he started to twirl her around the room once again. " Imagine that long full skirt on your dress twirling around as we dance at our wedding reception." " Who said my dress has a long full Mulder? " " Short tight skirt then." " Didn't say that either." " I don't care what kind of dress you wear. I'd marry you if you wore a black leather cat suit." " You would marry any woman if they wore a black leather cat suit." " Nope, Scully, only you. I'm afraid my love for you has ruined me for any other women." " Good " " So, still think the song is too fast? " " Yes, but I have an idea." " And, just what would that idea be oh skeptical one." " We can have two songs a slow one and a fast one. How does that sound? " " Wonderful " " Good, I thought you would like that idea." " Have I ever told you how much I love you Scully? " " Every second of every day and, I love you too.... Captain Crash." The End ************************** Additional Notes: I have always thoroughly enjoyed reading fluff, sap or, whatever you call it but, I was surprised I liked writing just as much. Oh well I'm a hopeless romantic so, I shouldn't be surprised I enjoyed writing this so much. So if you found this story stupid which I'm sure you have I apologize. " I was just here. Where did I go?
