Spoilers: None that I'm aware of.
Summary: Mulder gets a new CD. Laughter and dancing
ensue.
Feedback: Happily taken at foreverkel@zoominternet.net. Kind words
make me happy, flames amuse me, so either way I have a nice
feeling after I get feedback.
Disclaimer: If they were mine I would actually be quite happy
right now and, wouldn't have take refuge in my overactive
imagination to get me through this faux season. But alas, they
belong Chris Carter and the other Nazis at 1013. So, I'll just
have to make do with my imagination.
Additional Disclaimer: Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen
From Mars was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora
and, appears on the CD Crush by Bon Jovi. This song is so
quirky that it reminded me of Mulder so I had to use it. I also
mention Thank You For Loving me in this story. No copyright
infringements intended.
Author's Notes: This story came about while I was listening to
the Crush CD. I found Captain Crash to be strangely Mulder.
You know like a song he'd like. This is pure fluff there is no
educational value in this fic at all but, it did help me out of my
pissed off stage for a few hours so, it was good for something.
This has not been beta read, seeing as I don't have a beta reader
so, please forgive any mistakes contained in this story.
THIS FIC HAS PROUDLY BEEN DECLARED DOG FREE.

Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen
From Mars(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora)
Dressed up for a big date Like Halloween day but it was
Fourth of July now A car crash with a suitcase
and a painted face She was one of a kind She wears a plastic
crown
like Cinderella And roller skates
in bed
He rides the
Greyhound from
his hometown When he comes
around 'cause
they don't let
him drive now Mixed up as a
milkshake But make no
mistake They're shooting
for the stars
Chorus You and me We're invincible
together We can be oh
so tragical,
whatever Dressed up just
like Ziggy but he
couldn't play guitar Captain Crash and
the beauty queen
from Mars
Share a toothpick,
trading lipstick Watching traffic for
days at the diner Holding hands,
making big plans Playing Superman,
he was wearing
eyeliner Another local legend
and his
longtime lucky charm
Repeat chorus
They're drunk
on love as
you can get Getting high
on lust and
cigarettes Living life with
no regrets At least they're
gonna
try to fly
Chorus You and me We're invincible
together We can be oh so
tragical, whatever We're Sid and
Nancy Fred and
Ginger Clyde and
Bonnie Liz and
Richard Kurt and
Courtney Bacall and
Bogie Joltin' Joe
and Ms.
Monroe Here's Captain Crash

Superman Wearing Eyeliner
By: Kelly J. Thompson
Scully entered Mulder's apartment wary of the reason he asked her
over. He had been so playful and mischievous on the phone she was
almost afraid to come over especially since they had to work in the
morning. Music was blaring and she couldn't see Mulder but, she could
most definitely hear him. He's singing? Okay, he's in a weird mood
wonder what I'm in for tonight she thought as his dancing form came
into view.
" Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner."
" Mulder, what the hell are you singing? "
He must have jumped a mile when he heard her that she couldn't
contain the giggle that burst out of her. Then he turned and smiled
his beautiful smile at her, the one that made her fall in love
with him all over again.
" Oh, Scully you're here, good."
He looked so young and carefree when he walked over and kissed her.
She wouldn't mind staying in the moment forever but, she had to find
out just what he was singing.
" Mulder, as wonderful as your kisses are, I did ask you a
question first."
" You asked me a question? Funny, I could've sworn all you said was
boo."
He was using his bedroom voice to distract her and, it was working.
She had to compose herself if she ever wanted to find out what that
silly song he was singing was.
" Come on Mulder, what was that song you were singing? "
" I wasn't just singing Scully, I was performing."
" Well, what song were you performing then? "
" That song is why I asked you to come over."
" You asked me to come over here just because of a song, Mulder? "
" Yes, remember you asked me to find songs that I thought we
could use as our song so we could make a list and decide from
there? Well I found the song I want, and I was kind hoping to
get lucky later on."
Like usual she chose to ignore his last statement. I'll tackle
the last part after we discuss this song issue she thought.
" You're not saying that you want that silly song you were
just sing... I mean performing to be our song are you? "
" That silly song is called Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from
Mars. Yes, it may sound silly but it talks about an unusual love
story and, I think our love story is out of the ordinary and the
song made weird sort of sense to me when I thought about our
relationship so, I picked it as my choice for our song, Scully."
" But, Mulder, I heard you sing something about Superman wearing
eyeliner. I won't have a song like that played as our song at our
wedding reception."
" I let you talk me into a big wedding so, you should at least
listen to my choice of a song once, okay? "
" Mulderrrr.... I don't kn....."
" Scully, pleeeeeeease!!! "
He had the most pathetic look on his face at that moment and,
he looked so unbelievably cute she had no choice but to agree
to listen to his song.
" Okay, I'll listen to the song but, I make no promises."
" Just give it a fair chance. That's all I ask."
With those words said, he took both of her hands in his and lead
her to the stereo walking backwards while facing her the whole
way with a huge smile on his face.
When they reached the stereo Mulder let go of Scully's hands
and began to get the song ready to play for her. As he was
doing that Scully spotted a CD case sitting by the stereo and,
picked it up.
" Mulder, since when do you like Bon Jovi?"
" Oh, well I got that CD because I heard a song of theirs on
the radio this morning, I thought would be a good song for
us I think it's called Thank You for Loving Me or something
like that but, I listened further on into the CD and heard
Captain Crash and picked it instead."
" Why, Mulder? I've heard Thank You for Loving Me and, I
think it would be a wonderful song to use."
" Scully, you said you would listen to my song and give it a
chance."
" I did and, I will, I was just wondering why you changed
your mind that's all."
" Just listen, Scully."
Just then the beginning music started.
" Mulder this song sounds way too fast for a wedding song"
" Maybe, it is but it's still my choice. Dance with me? "
He held his hand out to her and she just stood there wondering
why she was lucky enough to have this man in her life. As the
lyrics started Mulder grabbed her and twirled her around the
room. She was lost in laughter and affection while they danced.
She tried to focus more on the lyrics when Mulder sung in her
ear.
" You and me, We're invincible together We can be oh so tragical,
whatever."
He stopped singing after that one line. Their dancing had slowed
to a sway. She looked into his eyes and right then she understood
a little better why he liked this song so much.
" Let's just say, that particular line hit me like a ton of bricks
but, to me the whole song just spoke a thousand words.
I don't know why exactly it just does. You understand
now, Scully? "
" A little Mulder, I understand a little. But, I still think
it's way too fast."
At that statement he started to twirl her around the room once
again.
" Imagine that long full skirt on your dress twirling around as we
dance at our wedding reception."
" Who said my dress has a long full Mulder? "
" Short tight skirt then."
" Didn't say that either."
" I don't care what kind of dress you wear. I'd marry you if you
wore a black leather cat suit."
" You would marry any woman if they wore a black leather
cat suit."
" Nope, Scully, only you. I'm afraid my love for you has ruined
me for any other women."
" Good "
" So, still think the song is too fast? "
" Yes, but I have an idea."
" And, just what would that idea be oh skeptical one."
" We can have two songs a slow one and a fast one. How
does that sound? "
" Wonderful "
" Good, I thought you would like that idea."
" Have I ever told you how much I love you Scully? "
" Every second of every day and, I love you too....
Captain Crash."
The End

Additional Notes: I have always thoroughly enjoyed reading fluff,
sap or, whatever you call it but, I was surprised I liked writing
just as much. Oh well I'm a hopeless romantic so, I shouldn't be
surprised I enjoyed writing this so much. So if you found this story
stupid which I'm sure you have I apologize.
