Disclaimer:These are the ramblings of an insane person me! And not necessarily the beliefs of the writer who is also me! The writer owns nothing... ok I do own lots Gillian Anderson stuff and almost as much X-Files stuff ...Only I do not own Ms. Anderson or the X-Files CC does.. Well not Ms. Anderson she owns herself but CC , Fox Television and what is that other company oh yeah 1013 the own everything else... I am merely using their creations for my one sick pleasure! All credit goes to them there people at FOX and 1013 productions for keeping us a blaze with stories that light the fires of our imagination. You know the burning desire to consume more that it incinerates us more until finally coming to a sizzling yet unresolved conclusion. Well I do not write that stuff Chris Carter does I just re-write his things, so do not sue!
The wait is over......Previously on The X-Files.....
A recap is given showing scenes from the season final intertwined with movie footage
NEW X-FILES FAN: Cool I understand.
OLD X-FILES FAN: No you do not you just started watching. I have been watching for six years and all I can gather and say in public, without being tossed in the loony bin is, The X-Files is a show, Music by Mark Snow.
Opening Season -
The sun blazes over the Arizona desert..
NEW X-FILES FAN: Cool image of the sun.
OLD X-FILES FAN : Turn it off! Turn it off! It hurts my eyes! I'm blind, I'm blind! Make it stop!
NEW X-FILES FAN : Here dude, put your sunglasses on the sun is not so noticeable that way.
OLD X-FILES FAN: Thanks -- Hey you sure you got it on the right channel? This doesn't look right, all they have been showing for the last 5 minutes is the sun.
NEW X-FILES FAN : Yeah, it's the right channel. They were just talking about the truth is out there, aliens and disco music.
OLD X-FILES FAN : Well I wish this sun thing was over. I'm getting a tan just watching this thing on TV.
NEW X-FILES FAN : Oh look a van with nerds.
OLD X-FILES FAN: I think the sun has effected that guy he is roasting. Nice subdivision all the houses look the same.
NEW X-FILES FAN: Yeah, now that is a scene you can't re-create anywhere else in the world.
OLD X-FILES FAN: But what is with all this light? I can even read the company on the van.
NEW X-FILES FAN : Let's log on the net and see what the importance of that name is.
OLD X-FILES FAN : Let's not and say we did.
NEW X-FILES FAN: Why not?
OLD X-FILES FAN: You post a stupid question like that in the newsgroups and they will chew up and sit you out for lunch. Besides I know what it means.
NEW X-FILES FAN: What does in mean?
OLD X-FILES FAN: That’s not important right now. It will only confuse you.
NEW X-FILES FAN: Why is he turning up the heat? When is it gonna get dark and scary and where is that hot red headed babe?
OLD X-FILES FAN: Will you stop asking questions already and just watch!
NEW X-FILES FAN: Fine, some help you are. Eeeh gross what is up with his hand? It's all slimy. Yuck! I'm getting sick let's change it there is football on.
OLD X-FILES FAN: Hush! The sunlight finally went away things are bound to get good now.
NEW X-FILES FAN: Boy they made time fly it is now the next day.
OLD X-FILES FAN: That dude is gonna get eaten wanna bet?
The one nerd guy from the van goes into the sick nerd guy from the van’s home. He is then promptly attacked by alien and we cue the music.....
Cue Music-
"I can see clearly now the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me black. It's gonna be a bright bright bright sunshiny day. It's gonna be a bright bright bright sunshiny day. I think I can make it now the pain is gone. All of the bad feelings have disappeared. Here is that rainbow I have been praying for. It's gonna be a bright bright bright sunshiny day. Look all around, there is nothing but blue skies. Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies. I can see clearly now the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me black. It's gonna be a bright bright bright sunshiny day. It's gonna be a bright bright bright sunshiny day. "
'I Can See Clearly Now’
Johnny Nash
Hoover Building Washington DC
Mulder is piecing together the remains of the once infamous files that burned in his office with the adobe photoshop. There is voice over and Mulder is magically transported to an FBI review panel and is recapping his recent summer ski trip in the Antarctic. Scully tries to sneak in the room un-noticed...
MASLIN: This is how you spent the summer and your excuse for us paying you millions in dollars to do your job?
OTHER NOT NAMED FBI REVIEW GUY: Aliens, space ships, corn and bees?
SCULLY: You forgot, oily black slime, the black helicopters, and the trail of morleys sir.
MASLIN: Even with that this still makes no sense. Director Skinner, are you sure your two field agents here didn't just watch a blockbuster sci-fi- movie over the summer and copied it then submitted it.
MULDER: There were no sci-fi blockbuster movie hits this summer. So how could we have watched something that didn't exist? Right Scully?
Scully doesn't answer. She holds head down in shame and tries to avert her eyes. That could also be attributed to the extra amount of sunshine in the room - but the shame look is effective nonetheless...
MULDER: Scully? You will back me up on this right?
SCULLY: On that we saw aliens, space ships, corn and bees? Sure we saw all that stuff.
MULDER: But we were not watching movies....
SCULLY: (says nothing).....
MULDER: Scully....Umm.. You will have to excuse my partner she seems to still be effected by the experience over the summer and is not completely recovered yet. She was a scientist when assigned to the x-files and we all know a scientist would never be caught dead watching sci-fi flicks.... So when do I get a new office for the X-Files?
SCULLY: Yeah, when do I get my desk?
MASLIN: You don't until you can provide me with untangle proof all this space ships, corn and bees stuff happened.
Mulder and Scully are dismissed and exchange a few words in the hallway. Nothing of great importance just the plot. Then through the wonder that is known as television we see CSM. He is smoking as he informs members of the consortium about the botch-up in Arizona when they accidentally let an alien loose. CSM also informs them the x-files are now covered as his son is now in charge. Back to Mulder, who is playing with photoshop again when Skinner comes in. They chat and Skinner tells him there is a file on your desk. Mulder goes to get the file and runs into Splender. Splender informs Mulder he now works in the x-files. He is the new Scully the non-believer and then that evil Fowley woman enters the office. She is the new Mulder, the believer. Back to CSM, he goes in to an operating room, still smoking mind you, and orders the neurosurgeon to sow the boy's brain up we need it to find the lost alien.
Mulder and Scully add to their travel experience and are now in Arizona. They go to the house where the guy was eaten by the alien.
SCULLY: Might I remind you we are not supposed to be here. We are no longer on the x-files.
MULDER: Scully they can't fire us. We are signed by contract for 2 more years.
SCULLY: Mulder we are disposable you know. They found to new actors to hunt for monsters for the next to years. We are free to enjoy the LA sunshine now. Let's go do that. I wanna see Disney maybe take in a baseball game. It is part of the perks I had added to my contract.
MULDER: You are ready to give in aren't you? Go where the bosses say we go, follow like a good solider. What - You got another movie lined up don't you?
SCULLY: Hey don't blame me for working the system. You could have went to the Cannes too and rubbed elbows with the big guys. Really Mulder why are we here?
MULDER: Because aliens ate the guy that lived in this house. And it is our job to find and hunt the alien down. That is why we get paid and that is why we are here.
SCULLY: Umm.. Mulder, I don't see no aliens .
MULDER: Of course not, we are looking for clues. Remember FBI...investigate? Oh look I found something.
SCULLY: What is it?
MULDER: It's uh...uh... a white.. A white thing, here hold on to it and run tests it might be useful later.
Meanwhile outside, is CSM and the boy that can read minds. The boy tells CSM it is not here and they leave. Right after that Mulder and Scully leave too. Then we see Homer at the nuke plant. Something is up and Homer must wake up from his nap and go into the reactor to figure it out. He does and is eaten by the alien.
Mulder and Scully show up at the nuke plant and are confronted by Splender and the Anti-Scully Umm Fowley.
SPELNDER: This is area is closed off to only needed and important people. That means not you or her.
SCULLY: We got a call and where in the area... but since you got it all under control now we will leave. Looks like a nice sunny day and I saw some health food place on the Arizona highway I wanted to try. Come on Mulder lets go stock up on the seaweed and tofu.
ANTI-SCULLY: Yeah I noticed those too on the way here. Dana can you pick me up some goat's milk yogurt. Here is the hotel we are staying at. You can drop it off when you bring me all your case files. And thanks!
MULDER: Do you two even know what you have in that reactor? You have a live on the loose hungry alien! I hope you know what you are doing. Only trained alien hunters should be handling this.
SPELNDER: Hey I watched “When Animals Attacks,” all 16 parts. I think we can handle our selves. Now be gone with you.
Mulder and Scully leave and notice their is a kid in the car. It is Gibson the brain boy. Mulder and Scully get in and take the boy to a motel and Scully attends to the boys injuries. Mulder fondly remembers the Vancouver motel rooms where porn was widely available. The it is agreed that the boy is the proof they need to prove their story of events for their summer adventure in the Antarctic. Ok they agree it won't get their deposit back on the snow vehicle Mulder rented then lost in the Antarctic. The insurance people did not buy Mulder's: "But a space ship blasted the snow where the snow vehicle ran out of gas on and thus destroying or possibly taking the vehicle with it as it went back into outer space” excuse. Seems Mulder has used that excuse before and All-State wasn’t gonna pay up. Scully and Mulder get ready to take the boy in the hospital for tests. But then that Anti-Scully shows up and drags Mulder with her. Some lame promises about knowing where the alien is. They go to the nuke power plant and Scully takes the boy to the hospital.
Mulder and the Anti-Scully toss back ideas on the alien. Stuff about a virus, heat and mutating along the way. The real Scully has those test run on the boy. Back at the nuke plant Mulder and the Anti-Scully go alien hunting. Mulder finds something Scully calls. She tells him she found something, something big and that they are onto something huge. They agree. Mulder goes back to alien hunting and Scully to tend to the kid, who is now gone. Kidnapped!
Meanwhile back at the alien infested nuke plant Mulder and the Anti-Scully continue to hunt for the missing alien. They see a guy and the brain boy Gibson enter, they follow them. Mulder watches through the window of the locked steal bolted door as the alien eats the guy. The Anti-Scully runs for help and returns with a gun and points it at Mulder. That bitch!
Mulder and Scully are now back before the review board. Skinner is noticeably absent. They get chewed out and are ordered to hand over all information dealing with the x-files to son of CSM and Anti-Scully. They are also given a new boss. Then that neat fading trick and we see Splender. He is in his new x-files office and CSM pays him a visit and tells him job well-done son!
Mulder goes back to playing with photoshop and Scully comes in....
SCULLY: That bitch! She back-stabbed you and us!
MULDER: No, she is protecting the x-files Scully.
SCULLY: More like her ass not the x-files. That woman better stay far far away from me or so help me God I will be forced to rip her hair out one strand at a time then gauge her eyes and steal her clothes. She gets a better wardrobe then me now and I will not stand for this second string actress stuff no way not on my show. And she has my new desk Mulder!
MULDER: She is taller than you Scully the cloths won't fit. Besides what good would it do to knock her off?
SCULLY: None but I got to vent my anger somehow. And she is the best choice at the moment.
MULDER: Leave her alone Scully.
SCULLY: Leave her alone! She basically said your story was full of crap, and totally dissed our work! She also mentioned nothing of the boy or...
MULDER: Even though her report did not say she saw the alien she is not afraid to admit to me she saw it. She can't say it in a public or they would can her like they did us. But at least she won't through out the possibly like some little red head I know.
SCULLY: Mulder I will not say something I do not believe in. Yes you saw aliens, I can not refute that fact. I briefly saw them and I have been kidnapped by them, probed by them, had a kid be them and damn them aliens! They will not leave me alone. But I know in my heart there is a scientific explanation for them. And until I find that I will not go off saying that I have seen aliens. I have a reputation to look out for. And it is a reputation that has been tarnished by hanging around you! I guess it also comes down to trust.
MULDER: Are you asking me to chose?
SCULLY: No. I am asking you to trust me.
MULDER: I trust no one remember.
SCULLY: Here (Scully ands Mulder a files) the truth is in here.
MULDER: No it is not the truth is out there.
SCULLY: No! The truth is in there and in me, trust me.
MULDER: Fine what is in that file?
SCULLY: Just DNA results from that white fragment thing you told me to hold onto as it might come in handy later... well it did. The DNA of that white thing matched the boy Gibson and the virus.
MULDER: You mean the boy is an alien? I think we found the connection whoo hoo we can get our office back whoo hoo!
SCULLY: Umm... No... The DNA is one of those remnant ones.
MULDER: Meaning?
SCULLY: Meaning we all have it only in the boy it was turned on....
MULDER: So the boy is an alien or has alien DNA...
SCULLY: Mulder we all have this DNA we are all aliens.....
Closeing scene -
Back at the nuke plant in one of the reactors we see the boy and the alien morph.
