Summary: Ally McBeal isn't the only one who sees a Dancing Baby. Guess who sees a Dancing Baby Alien? -------------------------------------------- DANCING BABY ALIEN Written by: Erin M. Blair -------------------------------------------- "Ooooh...bugga...chu... Ohbuggachu." Fox Mulder looked back to see a green, dancing baby alien. It seemed to taunt him about something. He groaned. "Not again." "Not again what?" Dana Scully sat down at her desk, and she gazed into his hazel eyes. "Did you see it, Scully?" "See what?" "Damn. I should have known you wouldn't see it. This is the second time that I'd seen it." "Seen what?" "It's a dancing baby alien. From your description, it looks so much like the alien fetus that you took from Purity Control." Scully frowned. "How come I haven't seen it?" "Maybe you're not supposed to see it. I don't know, Scully. I wish that I did." He watched her give him a look of understanding. "What?" "I think that you've been watching too many episodes of "Ally McBeal"--that's what I think. Have you thought about the reason why you keep seeing this dancing alien?" "No. Not really." "There's got to be a logical reason behind this." "Maybe I'm meant to be the one who sees it?" "Lucky you," Scully said, with a smile. She paused, as something came to her. It's a spark of an idea. "Mulder, you're the psychologist. What do you think that it means?" "It means two things. First, I have to confront it." "What's the second?" "I have to find out what the dancing baby alien wants." Scully's smile deepened. "Mulder, you've got an X-File on your hands, don't you?" Mulder nodded. "Will you help me?" "Sure." "I had a feeling that you'll help me." Mulder paused, as he came to a realization that could change their lives. "Scully?" "Yes?" "Maybe the dancing alien wants us to be together?" "As in a couple?" Scully asked, as she saw him nod. "Oh, I don't know." "It wants us to face the fact that we're in love. We've been hiding it for too long. Scully, I love you. Do you love me?" "Yes. I'd been in love with you for years. I just wasn't sure if you knew." "I do," Mulder whispered. "I do love you." He got up from his chair, and went towards Scully. He pulled her into his warm embrace. It was then that he saw a smiling dancing alien baby who cheered them on. End of Story Dedication: To shippers everywhere! Author's Notes: This story was an inspiration of when I watched several episodes of "Ally McBeal" and I thought that it would be a cute idea for Mulder seeing a dancing alien baby. In this story, the dancing alien baby symbolized Shippers (of which I'm a proud to be a part of). It's all in fun, and there isn't any angst in it. I hope you'll enjoy this one. Let me know if you want a sequel! Feedback: Oh yes! I love feedback. It warms my heart on a chilly night, but flames will go to my cat's litter box. Send to: eblair@sonic.net
