Warning: All Melrose Fans, don't read this unless you have a sense of
humor.  I bash the show mercilessly throughout this work.  If you
don't go into this with a sense of humor, you may be offended, no you
WILL be offended.  I personally don't care for the show, but that's
just me.

Legal Stuff: Fox Mulder, and Dana Scully belong to Fox, Chris Carter
and 1013.  Melrose Place belongs to Fox also, and a whole bunch of
other people that I don't know of, 'cause I don't watch the show
enough.

			     X-Rose Place
			  By Susan Mattler  

Scenario: Mulder and Scully are staying at Melrose Place, since the 	  
	  government is cheep, they have to share an apartment.  Here is 
	  the situation from the Melrose point of view.  Oh, yeah.  To 	 
	  protect case integrity, they can't tell anyone they are FBI
	  agents.

Day 1, Friday:  A new couple has moved into one of the furnished 	
                apartments, a tall, dark and handsome type, and a cute,
                petite, red-head.  All that is known about them is their
                names, Fox Mulder, and Dana Scully. Oh, good they aren't
                married!  Time to play the good neighbor and dig up some 
                dirt.

SCANDAL!!!  Dana and Fox are living together, but NOT SLEEPING
            TOGETHER!!!  That's really weird for around here.  They
            bought the place as friends, They are of the opposite sex,
            and they're FRIENDS, wow.  They have been working together
            for two years haven't been any power struggles.

Day 2, Saturday:

SCANDAL!!!  They haven't been seduced by anyone yet!!  (What is that,
            new record?)  Spent the day out at museums, laughing,
            talking, debating about the exhibits (friendly debates)
            and generally, ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY!!!  Rented
            movies and watched them that night.  They have been
            invited to a pool party tomorrow, so we'll see if we can't
            dig up some more dirt tomorrow.

Day 3, Sunday: 

SCANDAL!!!  They still haven't been seduced.  (That's definitely a
            record.)  They slept in, not together.  He made breakfast,
            JUST TO BE NICE, she did the dishes.  They took back the
            videos and cleaned.  Well, no one had lived there for a
            while, it was pretty dusty.  They got down to the pool
            first, and he threw her in.  He got dunked, she's pretty
            strong for such a little thing.  They both are very witty,
            with dry senses of humor.  She was sitting in a lounge,
            talking to Amanda when he garbed it from behind, tipped
            it, and she fell in.  He was met with a wet towel in the
            face.  Played a game of volley ball, they kicked butt.
            Went to bed at a decent hour.  Said they worked for the
            government.

Day 4, Monday: Left for work early, 6 am.  Came back around 5.  Both
               wearing business attire.  Were having an intense
               discussion.

SCANDAL!!!  After the discussion (it didn't even qualify as an
            argument) there was no breaking sounds, no revenge plans,
            and no one turned psycho.  They went jogging, he said
            something snide, she smacked him, but only lightly, and
            playfully on the arm.  Just about everyone has been
            playing good neighbor and visiting them.  Mainly to try
            and pick them up.  They usually are polite, but get a
            really puzzled look on their face when the visitor has
            left.

Day 5, Monday: I think they're lawyers for the government.  From
               eavesdropping I keep hearing them talking about "the
               case".  He'll pitch out a theory about something, and
               she might agree with some of it, but then she starts to
               tear it apart with all this scientific jargon.  Went
               jogging in the morning this time.

SCANDAL!!!  Still aren't sleeping with anyone.  She bought some
            groceries from the store.  Told him she got him a present,
            it was sunflower seeds.  He kind of laughed and said if
            she had ice tea in there to it must be love.  She just
            smiled back and said, it must be fate, diet coke.  Now
            that was weird.  You know, I'm beginning to think
            they're....  normal.  Nah.  Not around here.

Day 6, Tuesday: Left, went to work, came back, jogged, same routine as
                yesterday, they are getting boring.

SCANDAL!!!  We finally have something juicy!!!  When walking back from
            car to apartment, a gust of wind blew her suit jacket
            back, flashing a GUN!!!  Ohhhhh, they must be government
            assassins.

Day 7, Wednesday: Their leaving today, they weren't even here long
                  enough for anyone to get their claws into them.  Boo
                  hoo. Turns out they were FBI agents, they were
                  conducting a surveillance on some guy in the next
                  complex.  They didn't even have to shoot when they
                  arrested him.  You know , I'm glad they left, they
                  were too boring, and too normal.  I wonder who will
                  move in there next....
