Truth Serum 2 : The Morning After By Dramababe Scully woke up feeling great. She had slept the best in weeks and was pleasantly snug due to the warm body spooned behind her…The warm body behind her!!! Her eyes snapped open and she glanced down at the arm wrapped around her waist. That was when she realized that she was completely lacking in sleepwear of any kind. <Omigod omigod omigod!!!> It had been quite some time since she had awakened in this way, and never before with a strange man. She struggled to remember the events of the previous night or day, but came up with nothing. This caused her to freak out even more. <Either I’ve been drugged, or I got drunk and went to bed with a strange man!> You don’t get drunk! <I know that!> /hmmm…I wonder who he is/ The curious side of her subconscious won out and she turned her head and strained to see his face, but she couldn’t, at least not without risking waking him , which was not something she wanted to do at this point in time. All she could tell was that he was white, with a chiseled body, and he seemed tall. He also happened to be similarly naked. <well,> she reasoned with herself, <At least I didn’t get drunk and sleep with a fat, ugly guy> She lay her head back on her pillow and waited for the inevitable: when he woke up. XXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx Mulder wasn’t too sure where he was. It was too warm and too quiet for a hospital, and he wasn’t in any pain. It was too comfortable for his couch at home, in his apartment. It didn't smell smoky like a cheap hotel room either, so he doubted it was one of those. And then, there was the issue of the naked woman in his arms and his complete lack of memory as to the previous night’s events, and clothing. He opened his eyes slowly and immediately recognized his surroundings- and the woman! "Scully?" Dana’s eyes got as wide as saucers when she recognized the honey over gravel voice that belonged to her partner. She took a deep breath, turned over, and confirmed her fears. "Mulder!?!? What the hell are you doing here!?!?" He backed away to the other side if the bed, afraid she might hurt him. "I have no clue." "You mean you don’t know either?" "Either? You don’t know?" "Exactly. This is not good. This is very not good" She started to get up, but then, she remembered her complete lack of apparel and quickly pulled the blanket up around her in an attempt to cover herself. "Close your eyes!" "Why?" "Just do it!" He covered his eyes with his hand and she quickly located Mulder’s gray T-shirt and pulled it over her head. Then she found his black silk boxers and threw them at him. "Put them on" He followed her command and then watched her as she paced around the room anxiously. "How could something like this happen? I mean, were we drugged? Did we get drunk? Did we…" "Do the naked pretzel?" Mulder added. She glared at him, and he got serious. "I know what you mean. I wish I knew, too." Scully glanced at the clock "Oh my God! We’re late for work! I can’t go to work now, not like this!" "Maybe we should take the day off." "Good idea, Mulder, I’ll call Skinner." She dialed his office number and was immediately answered by Skinner’s Secretary, Kim. "Assistant Director Skinner’s office. How may I help you?" "Kim, this is Agent Scully. I need to speak with AD Skinner. Is he busy?" "One moment please…"After a click and few moments of silence, Kim clicked back. "I’ll put you right through" A moment later, she heard Skinner’s voice. "Yes?" "Good Morning Sir, this is Agent Scully" "Good morning Agent Scully" "Sir, I need to request the day off for…” She paused, trying to figure out an eloquent way to word it. "…Personal Reasons" "There's no need for that. You already have the week off. Don't you remember anything from yesterday?" "Actually, Sir, no. I can't remember a thing!" "Hmmm. I should put that on the side-effects list- Short term memory loss." "Side-effects? What are you talking about, Sir?" "The serum you were injected with." "The what?" "Serum. You, Agent Mulder, and Agent Fowley were all injected with an experimental drug the FBI plans to implement as soon as it gets FDA approval. You could call it a ' Truth serum.' I must say, the test was quite a success" "Why? Why us?" "Now, Agent Scully, keep in mind that you are neither the first nor the only successful test subjects for this drug, and you were chosen because you, Agent Mulder and Agent Fowley were observed to have large amounts of bottled emotion. And boy, were we right!" "With all due respect, Sir, You just used us as guinea pigs! Are there any other side effects I should know about, or do you just want me to be surprised?" By now, she was pacing around the room, aggravated. "Well, there was one unexpected side effect: The violent outbursts." "Violent?" Scully glanced down at her hand and noticed that there was a large superficial scratch on her hand and she had bruised knuckles. ""Yes, unfortunately, soon after receiving the serum, you and Agent Fowley started an altercation and she was killed by several blows to the head, Most of which were from your foot, although the last finishing blow came from Agent Mulder." Scully smiled secretly, then quickly put on a mask of faux astonishment. ""Oh my God!" "Don't worry, we aren't going to press charges against you or Agent Mulder. Speaking of Mulder, how is he reacting to the drug?" ""He appears to be fine, except for the…Wait! How did you know that we'd be…" "Well, considering you 'display' yesterday, I simply assumed that you two would be together this morning." "Display?" Skinner went on to give a full eye witness account of every thing that had happened in the test room. Scully grasped the edge of the couch, fearing she might fall over. "Oh My Lord…" "I have a meeting, so I'm going to let you go. Call me if any other unusual side effects show up. Goodbye, Agent Scully." "G-goodbye, Sir." She just stood there for a moment, stunned, then she slowly put the phone back in its cradle and walked back to her bedroom numbly. Mulder was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting. He looked up at her strange expression. "You got told off?" She shook her head slowly and took a deep breath. "I have good news, bad news, and some news I'm still not sure how to take" "Okay, shoot." "Good news is, we have the week off, paid, and I know what happened yesterday." "Great! What happened?" "That's where the other news comes in: We were drugged, unknowing test subjects of an experimental drug, Glycosamine Diphosphium." "Glycosa-what?" "It influences your impulses, causes you to speak you mind. You can't lie or hide thoughts or feelings. Call it a Truth Serum, if you will." "They can do that?" "You've said it yourself, There's so much we have yet to learn. But there's more, while we were under the influence of this drug, we killed Agent Fowley with several blows to the head. Luckily, they're not pressing charges…" "Oh, God, Diana's dead? Whoa." "Yes. Apparently, you delivered the finishing blow. Then, we…we.." Suddenly, the carpet became very interesting to Scully. "What?" He watched her chew her lip nervously. "What is it?" Scully avoided his eyes, but continued. "What is one thing that's never really…come out between us? I mean, what is something we'd never do, at least not while we're still Bureau?" "Well, considering we already got willful murder out of the way…" He looked up at her and caught her eyes. "You don't mean…?" She pressed her lips together and nodded. "Pursue a romantic relationship? That we did…right in front of two doctors and AD Skinner" "Oh my…" "I know! I can't believe I'd do something so…so… stupid!" "Well, that would explain why I woke up in your bed in my birthday suit." Scully continued on about how wrong what they did was until Mulder put a hand on her shoulder. "Scully, we were drugged. Besides", He said as he lifted her chin up to meet her eyes with his own. "Is is really such a bad thing?" "Mulder, we can't-" He put his finger on her lips, quieting her. "Don't lie to yourself. Do you want this? "It's unprofessional, it's against bureau policy it's-" "Don't give me excuses, Scully, Do you want this?" "I…I…" She paused and looked up into his intense eyes. "…Yes." Mulder's eyes drifted down to her full lips. He hesitated for a few short seconds, then he moved in, capturing her lips with his own. Scully put her arms around his neck, and pulled him closer to her. I was as though kissing Mulder was as natural as breathing to her. It took no effort at all, all the passion she needed was stored up inside her and it was almost involuntary to respond to the feel of his lips that way. In that sweet, blissful moment, time stood still for our two agents and all the emotional walls and barricades that they had worked so hard to build up came crashing down. Mulder pulled away slowly, and looked Scully up and down suggestively, grinning. "You know, you look really good in my clothes." She returned his sexy smile. "I guess I'll just have to wear them more often," and reached up for another kiss. Needless to say, the next time Mulder woke up naked in a bed that wasn't his own, he knew exactly how he had gotten there. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for[drum roll please] Finis! July 8, 1999 9:18 am Des Moines, Iowa [duh-moyn] This story was written over the period of about a week and a half on a family vacation to the midwest. It was finally finished in Des Moines, Iowa, quite far from my hometown of San Diego, CA. It was then sent, via snail mail to my dear friend Niki, who urged me all the way through the writing process and is my fanfic muse. I would like to thank Mead(c), for making wonderful wire-bound notebooks suitable for writing fanfic on long and boring car trips in hot weather. Alright, I think I've bored you a whole bunch, so um…I'm gonna go take a tranquilizer and go have some juice with the rest of the patients at the Happy Place. I love you all! Buh-bye! Forget the future Fight the Fowley!
