By Nicole van Dam (1/1) From: lone_jaguar@geocities.com (Nicole van Dam) -------- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Fox Mulder and Dana Scully belong to Chris Carter, 1013 Productions and FOX Broadcasting. Jackie St. George and Marty Nantus belong to Sheryl Martin, and Alexandra Kennedy belongs to Fiona Bland. Joanne Thornton is mine, however. {{Sheryl, just had to steal Marty and Jackie for a brief schtick... Hope you don't mind}} This really makes no sense, but since when am I a stranger to insanity? I just got the idea for this while I was watching Murphy Brown and waiting for the safe zone where I can escape to the computer room without my mother yelling at me. If you are a fan of Murphy Brown, I did use a version of a bit of the dialogue... Rating: PG Summary: Well... the title says it all... Comments, suggestions and flames are always welcome. Though, I should add, the flames will be used for various things. Warm my house, roast weenies, toast marshmallows (even if I don't like them that much) and well . . . amuse me because I love fire. :-) Enjoy. You're What!?! Married!?! Nicole van Dam aka: The Warfarine Dealer lone_jaguar@geocities.com ==== "No way!" came the voice from the kitchen. "Could too!" "Yeah, right." Jackie St. George walked out of the kitchen in her apartment to join the gathering in front of the television. Marty sat on one side of the couch with Joanne Thornton sitting on the other; the spot in the middle designated for the fiancee. Alexandra Kennedy sat on an armchair, glued to the moving images on the screen. "There is no way that Batman could take Superman." Marty turned as she sat down. "Sure, he could," he said. "He could not," The Canadian objected. "Superman has the x-ray eyes, the heat rays, flying capabilities..." "I agree with Jackie," Jo stepped in. "Batman has no super powers at all. He just has all those gadgets." "Thank you." "But Batman's intelligent." Jackie raised an eyebrow at the man beside her. "You saying Superman's stupid?" Marty suddenly realized where he had stepped. Thornton laughed. "Good thing we're warming the couch for ya' Marty... Something tells me you're not moving come bedtime." "Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Yes!!!!" Kennedy practically leapt out of her seat. "Eat that Potvin!!! Ha ha! Looks like that cat's on his last life!!" She turned with the biggest grin on her face to see the arguing trio staring at her; eyebrows raised. Her eyes started looking around the room and she swallowed. "Ah... the ah... Rangers just scored." She cleared her throat and grabbed the remote. "I'll just be surfing now." The knocking of the door got Jackie to her feet. Looking through the peephole, she unlocked the deadbolt and opened the door. "Hey, Mulder, Dana," she said, inviting them in. "What's the occasion?" They looked at each other with big smiles decorating their faces. St. George frowned as she noticed they were much closer than they usually were... and they were holding hands. Jackie shuddered involuntarily and turned to the crowd in her apartment. "Look everybody," she said. "It's Mulder and Scully." "Hi," Marty said. "Hey guys," Jo greeted, getting her drink from the table in front of her. Kennedy had somehow made it back to the hockey game again and was silent. The Canadian looked at the two federal agents with a frown, noticing the way they looked at each other... It was almost enough to make one loose their lunch. Mulder finally addressed the group. "We have some news," he said with an uncharacteristically large smile. He looked down at his partner beside him who nodded with a similar grin. "What is it?" Marty asked. "You tell them," Fox told the woman at his elbow. "No, you tell them," she said. "No, you tell them." "No, you tell them." "Let's both tell them," he suggested. "Okay," he nodded and they turned to them, taking one last fleeting look at each other. "We're married!!" they chorused with flushed faces, their chests heaved like they had just run a marathon. Jackie's eyes practically fell out of her head, Marty's jaw dropped to the floor, as did the remote Kennedy was holding, and Jo promptly spit out the mouthful of Coke she unfortunately had over the coffee table. "Excuse me?" "You're what?" "Married??" "Damn, the Leafs scored." The newlyweds nodded enthusiastically. "Married!!" they beamed, looking at each other again. "How?" "It all happened so fast," Dana breathed. "We were investigating a case in Reno and--" "We decided to take a night off and visit the casinos," Mulder continued. "After a few hours--" "We thought that it was silly for us to pretend anymore so--" "I asked her if she would marry me and--" "I said yes--" "And we got married!!" Then they appropriately kissed in front of their shocked friends. Jackie looked at Marty, who looked at Jo, who looked at Kennedy, who looked anywhere but at the liplocked Feds. They finally parted and turned to St. George. "So Jackie," Scully said. "When are you two tying the knot?" ==== Jackie St. George bolted up in her bed like a shot had gone off; her chest heaving. She frowned, running a hand over her face. "No..." she said to herself. She wasn't exactly sure if it was true or not... It seemed so real and... Not willing to let it go before she found out the absolute truth, she picked up the phone on the nightstand and dialled her friend's number. "Hello?" came the mumbled answer. "Dana?" "Jackie? It's three o'clock in the morning... What's wrong?" The Canadian licked her lips. "You're not married, are you?" Scully frowned, wondering if she had heard it right. "Married?" she repeated. "To Mulder, yeah." "What?" "Just, are you and Mulder married, or not? I'm losing sleep over this." "Jackie, how much medication did you ingest last night?" "What's the answer?" Dana sighed. "No," she shook her head. "Of course not... Why would we?" She heard a sigh of relief on the other end. "Thank God... I'm all right now. Thanks, Dana. Good night." "Bye." ==== Scully rolled over and picked the receiver off the cradle. "Hello?" she asked. "Hey, Dana, Kennedy here." "What is it?" the redhead asked. "Do you know what time it is?" "Um... Yes, I do. Listen... I was just wondering... You're not married, are you?" Scully frowned. "What?" "To Mulder... You're not married, are you?" "No," she replied. "Kay, thanks... Have a good sleep." ==== "What?" came the harsh reply. "Yo, Dana." "Jo, what the hell do you want?" Thornton jerked back from the receiver. "Woah, touchy... Listen, I just had this crazy dream... You and Mulder didn't go to Reno and get married, did you?" Dana sighed dramatically. "No... For the last time, we are not married. Why?" "Oh, you were just in my dream and were acting really mushy with him..." She shuddered. "... It was not appetizing." "Can I go to sleep now?" Dana asked. "Oh, hey, yeah, sure.. Just let me know before you two do get married, okay?" ==== "Oh WHAT!?!" Silence. "Scully?" "Sorry, Mulder," she apologized. "I just seem to be getting a lot of phone calls... What's wrong?" He cleared his throat. "Well, you see... I just had this crazy dream..." ============ THE END January 2, 1997 ============ "I'm not insane... I'm creatively enhanced." --The Warfarine Dealer "I'm out of bed and I'm dressed. What more do you want?" I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. :-) Death to Roborat!! >:-)
