Mulder and Scully: At the Airport
by Sidra Vitale
They were at Long Beach Airport, waiting in line at Gate 7 to check in. Even Scully only had carry-on baggage. It had been a quick trip to California, but the length of stay wasn't important. What mattered was the FBI had gotten their man. One more time, justice had prevailed, with more than a little help from Mulder's skilled profile and Scully's sharp intellect.
Behind them:
"So, like, was it rad?"
"Like, no way, it was like, he was all, "oh, sure", and I was all, "uh, really. Excuse me!""
"Oh, totally! Like, how could he say that?!"
"Then, he's all, "I'm so sure, Brenda." So I'm all, "uh, no, really!""
"Omiga-awd!"
"So, I'm all, "get out", and he's all, "gladly." Like, ga-awd!"
"Ga-awd! How could he?!"
Scully leaned toward her partner and he bent down to hear her murmur, "Mulder, I did not understand a single thing those girls behind us just said. There was not a noun to be found within 5 feet of them!"
Mulder put his hand on his partner's shoulder in a gesture of mock reassurance, and said, "Just remember, they're probably more afraid of you than you are of them."
He paused. "You know more parts of speech than they do. Threaten them with a gerund or something."
Scully rolled her eyes with a look of long-suffering. Drily, "Oh, I'm so sure."
