Scully pleaded, swinging her arms around wildly. "Shh, it's okay Scully," he said, and put his arms around her to stop her shaking. Finally she calmed, and they went to the top bunk and sat down. Larry Moore, the forest ranger, sat down on another bed. "Well, if those bugs are gonna kill me, I'd rather they do it in my sleep. Good night. Don't let the bed bugs bite." "'Night," said Scully, now more relaxed. "Are you okay now, Scully?" Mulder asked, putting his arm around her shoulders. "Yeah, I think so." They talked a little bit longer about their situation, and then Mulder decided to turn in. "Larry's probably right, you know. I'm going to bed. I'll take the bottom," he said. "Okay. Goodnight, " said Scully. " 'Night," Mulder replied. ****************************************************************************** *************** One hour later Scully had been tossing and turning for the past hour. "Scully, if you don't stop that, the bed is going to collapse on top of me," said Mulder. "Sorry," she whispered. "I just can't sleep. I mean, I'd rather die in my sleep, but the thought isn't comforting." "Yeah, I know," said Mulder. "I can't sleep either." They were silent for a minute. Then Scully climbed down from the top bunk. "Scoot over," she said. "Yes, ma'am," Mulder replied, and lifted the covers. Scully got into the bed. She settled up against him, and he put his arm around her waist. "Goodnight, Mulder," said Scully. " 'Night, Scully," he replied and they drifted off into dreamland together. ****************************************************************************** *************** Now, that wasn't too bad, was it? comments go to lenni22@aol.com Scully, marry me. --Mulder, "Chinga"
