Outside of Mulder and Scully's office It was a nice sunny morning, and Scully was ready to go to work. She drove over to the office and when she arrived, she heard some beeping noises. She was a bit curious and decided to check it out. She found Mulder sitting in a chair with his eyes glued to the television. In his hand he had an N64 controller. "Hey, Scully," Mulder said. "Mulder, where on Earth did you get this?" Scully asked. "Skinner gave us an N64. He got one from one of his nephews since they already had two. He said that since we do such excellent work, we should have a little fun. Wasn't that dandy?" Mulder said as he gave Scully a humongous smile. "Dandy?" Scully asked. "Mulder, you've been playing this for only 5 minutes, and already you're becoming brain warped." "I am not!!!" Mulder replied. "Hey, Skinner said to enjoy myself so I am." At that moment, Walter Skinner came into the room. He started to say, "Mulder, Scully, I need you to get on a case. There was......" "SHHHHH!!!!" Mulder yelled at Skinner. "Toad is talking!!!!' "Mulder, please!!!" Skinner said. "Ohhhhhhhh, alright," Mulder whined, " but let me finish this one race, please? I have to beat Bowser and Wario!! They always think that they are so darn good at racing!!! Well I'll show them!!!!! I'll show them that no one can beat Fox William Mulder!!!!!" "Mulder, you're delirious," Scully said. "Now, Skinner can you please continue?" "I can't with that crackpot screaming at little game characters!!!" Skinner yelled. "Maybe I shouldn't have bought it. I just wanted you guys to have a little break and enjoy yourselves." "Oh, don't worry, Skinner," Scully said. "I know that Mulder won't be like this all the time. Everyone gets excited when they play for the first time, and then after a while, they only play about twice a week." "I hope you're right," An unsure Skinner replied. Right at that moment, Mulder then yelled, "HEY!!! THAT JERK CUT ME OFF!!!! COME BACK HERE!!!!!! LET'S GO MARIO!!!!" and then started imitating Mario. "LET'S GO!!!! WOO HOO!!!! HEE HEE!!!! I GOT IT!!!! MAMA MIA!!!" "AGENT MULDER!!!!" An impatient Skinner yelled and right at that moment, Scully flipped the power switch to the off position on the system. "WHY THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT?!" an angry Mulder asked. "I WAS JUST ABOUT TO WIN THE MUSHROOM CUP!!!!!" "Mulder, come on. Be serious," Scully said. "Skinner needs our help, and you are acting like a big pompous jerk!!!!" "I'm sorry, Skinner," Mulder replied. "Go on." "Thank you, Agent Mulder," Skinner said, now relaxed. "Now I need you to go down to the Shop Til You Drop grocery store. There have been some paranormal activities going on there and I want you two on the job." "Yes, sir," both agents replied. Mulder and Scully arrived at the grocery store and found green slime all over the place. The dairy case was coated with the blubbery flubbery gook. "Betcha those cows are gonna be ticked off," Mulder said. "Come on, Mulder. There has to be an explanation." Scully stated. "Do you have any normal ideas to what might have happened?" "Let's look around for more clues," Mulder replied. The one section in the store that wasn't covered in the sticky, gummy ooze was the greatest place for Mulder, but the worst place for Scully. The gaming section. Quickly like a jackrabbit, Mulder sprang over to the counter. He looked through the glass counter at the selections. "Ooooooo, Scully look!!!!" Mulder said, giggling like a little schoolgirl. "They even have Bomberman, Mario, and Diddy Kong Racing!! Can we get them, pretty pretty please?!" "MULDER!!!!!" Scully said impatiently. "This is neither the time nor the place!!! Now come on, you said that you would do this case and you gave your word to Skinner. We already have MarioKart. That is enough for now!!!!" "Fine," Mulder said with his bottom lip sticking out. "If you pout one more time," Scully said, pointing her finger up at the babyish agent. "I'm not pouting!!!" Mulder said and with his arms crossed, he stomped over to the other side of the store with Scully trailing behind. "Mulder, please wait," Scully said. "Please don't be mad. Just please do this case for Skinner. Please. Do it for me." "Oh....oh....alright," Mulder finally said. " I did say I would do this case." Then both agents carefully inspected the slime. Mulder then saw a large piece of evidence on the floor; a five gallon jug with the label reading, "Jug o' Goo". "Guess they forgot to clean up their toys," Mulder said. "Excuse me, clerk? Are there any doors open at night?" "No, but last night we did receive a new shipment of food and had to keep the door open in order to bring it in and stack it on the shelves," the teenage clerk replied. "There's your answer," Mulder said. "Kids snuck in, waited until it was empty, covered the whole place in slime, thought they picked up all of the evidence, and ran off, being sure to go out a back door." "Oh, Mulder," Scully said with happiness in her voice. "I knew you could do it." "Hey, I did it for you and Skinner," Mulder said, and glanced over in the direction where the games were and went out the front door, right next to Scully. "Hey, you did a fine job, Agent Mulder," Skinner said. "Excellent work!! Thank you too, Scully. If you were not there, Mulder may still be standing over that counter with all of those games." "No problem," replied Scully, somewhat satisfied with herself. "Hey, you wanna play some MarioKart?" Mulder asked Scully. "I know I can beat Bowser and Wario this time!!! I know I can!!!!" "Maybe later," Scully replied, and then mysteriously left the office. Scully then returned an hour later and held a shopping bag in front of Mulder's face. "Surprise, Mulder," Scully said. "Awww, Scully, you didn't have to buy me anything," a suspicious Mulder said and yanked the bag right out of her hand. He then opened it and inside was Mario 64. "Oooohhhhhh, Scully!!!" He said full of excitement. " Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" "You're welcome. You deserve it," Scully replied. "You guys gonna lock up the office tonight?" Skinner asked. "I'm leavin' now, but I don't know about Whizzy Gamer over there," Scully replied. "I'm just gonna stay for a little longer, and then I'll lock up," Mulder said. "Alright, Agent Mulder. Here's the key," Skinner said as he handed the office key to the absorbed federal agent. The next morning, Scully arrived at the office. "Hmmmm," she thought to herself. "Skinner's car isn't here. Must be late. Mulder's car is here. I wonder why?" She thought sarcastically . She opened the door and saw Mulder was sitting in front of the television, but he was wearing the same clothes he had on the day before, the skin under his eyes was dark, and there were two pots of coffee on the table right next to the television, along with what looked like twenty-five cups, which were all empty. "Mulder!!!!" Scully yelled. "Have you been here all night?! Have you gotten any sleep?" But from the looks of it she could tell that he didn't. "Guess what, Scully?!" Mulder said with excitement as if he just got fifty hours of sleep. "I already have ninety-five stars!!!! There's a total of one- hundred twenty, but I can get all of them in the next three hours!!!" And then again, he started to imitate Mario. "Ahhhh, spaghetti!!! Ahhhhh, ravioli!!! Ahhhhhh, Mama mia!!! Yah!!! Ohhhhh!!! Yipee!!!!" "Mulder, snap out of it!!!" Scully exclaimed. "You're turning into my nephew!!!! And he's only six!!!!" "I can do this, Scully!!!! I am the Wizard!!!!" Mulder declared as he got out of his chair and pointed his finger up in the air like an emperor. "What's so great is that no one can stop me!! Not even you or Skinner!!!!" And with those words, Scully got so mad at Mulder for being out of control, she reached over to the wall, and yanked out the whole system entirely. "HEY!!! I DIDN'T SAVE MY PROGRESS!!!!!! I HAVE TO START OVER!!!! You little......" Mulder started. "Shut it, Mulder!!!!" Just stop it right now!!!" Scully screamed. "Do you realize how compulsive you've become?! You've not only hurt me, but also......." "You shut it, Shorty!!!" Mulder yelled back, and picked up what seemed to him a gun and held it in his hand. "Mulder, you're threatening me with the controller," Scully said, rolling her eyes. "Oh," a confused Mulder replied, and then picked up his gun and pointed it at Scully. "Mulder, that is real!!!!!" Scully said. "Well duh!!! Very good, Alex Trebeck. Took a long time to figure that one out!!! Tell her what she's won, Johnny!!!!!!!" Mulder replied sarcastically. Just then, Skinner entered the office. "Whoa, Agent Mulder," a very shaky Skinner said. "Put the gun down. Slowly." "But she ruined my game!!!" Mulder yelled, sounding like a blithering baby again. "I was about to save Princess Toadstool and return peace to the Mushroom Kingdom, and defeat Bowser, and have a cake that the Princess baked just for me!!!!" "Agent Mulder, put the gun down RIGHT NOW!!!!!" Skinner yelled. "I shall fire you sorry behind if you don't!!! I'm gonna take back that system, so you have no choice!!!!" "Please, Mulder, do what he says," Scully said, still afraid of the risk of being shot over just a silly game. "FINE!!!!" said a pouting Mulder, and then he threw the gun across the room, crossed his arms, put out his lower lip, and stood right where he was. "Mulder, don't pout!!!" Scully screamed, now assure of the fact that she was safe. "I'm not pouting!!!" Mulder said defiantly like an infant. "Go home and get some sleep, Agent Mulder," Skinner ordered. "FINE!!! I WILL!!!" replied an unsatisfied Mulder, and he then grabbed his jacket, and started to walk towards the front of the office. He then declared, "And I hope you know that you all are infantile!!!! I am the smartest one of all!!!" and at that moment, he opened a door, walked through, and closed it shut. Both Scully and Skinner rolled their eyes. "Agent Mulder, that's the closet," Skinner stated. "I knew that!!!" A muffled Mulder said from behind the closet door. " I just went in to get my jacket!!!!!" "You already had it!!!" Scully yelled. The closet door then opened, and out came still a defiant Mulder. "I was just making sure that you two noticed that!!!!" Mulder exclaimed. Then he stuck his head up in the air and walked towards the front door. He did not realize where he was going and ran his nose right into the glass window next to the door. He held his nose with his hand, once again stuck his head back up in the air, opened the door, and left. Scully and Skinner did not say a word. They just stood there, shaking their heads. The End P.S. - I hope everyone who read this enjoyed it. I hope no one got offended from this. I do like to write humorous stories and I do think that the "X- Files" and all of its characters are cool. I also love N64(as you could probably tell). Please tell me what you thought of it. Please send all letters to MogGirlN64@aol.com Thank you very much.
