Cerchio Infranto al Tramonto di un Sole che Illumina Altri by Melody Morgan Carter TITLE: Cerchio Infranto al Tramonto di un Sole che Illumina Altri (Broken Circle at the Sunset of a Sun that Lights Someone Else) AUTHOR: Melody Morgan Carter E-MAIL: xduchess@freemail.it -- feedback feedback feeback. Please, write. (Do not spoilers, please... here we are very very slowly...) RATED: G CATEGORY: MSR, V, H SPOILER: just a brief citation to "Duane Barry - Ascension - One Breathe" and to Samantha's kidnapping. KEYWORDS: Mulder/Scully UST SUMMARY: Mulder, Scully and a sunset. There the English and the Italian version. DISCLAIMER: I don't know if this is necessary, because the X-Files Italian Official Magazine had approved it... Tho, I don't own Mulder & Scully, I used them only for my and my readers' (wow) fun, I haven't ever got many for this story (neither for the first publication), I'm bringing them at home until 11:21pm (in this case maybe until 8:07pm), and if Chris Carter want me to write scenarios for him, I should accept (after a billion of joy-jumps, as we said in Italy). I Love You, Chris, and thank you for "Post-Modern Prometheus" ;). ARCHIVES: Yeah! Drop me an e-mail, so I can visit your archive, OK? Always and everywhere, but keep my name with it and do not change it, please. GENERAL NOTE: Attention please! This is a translation of the original Italian tale. NOTA PER LETTORI ITALIANI: C'è la versione Italiana alla fine di quella inglese! [NOTE FOR ITALIAN READERS: There's the Italian version at the end of the English one.] THANKS: Well, I'm becoming a little repetitive... Thanks to my Mom (the SuperMom), for everything. To Joy, for the joy of course, to Sabina, a great friend I met thanks to this fanfic, and to Michelle, my proofreader! To Ema, Marshal and Troy, just because they're so nice with me. ;) BY THE WAY: I wrote this before seeing the Movie (and what a Movie...) xXx Cerchio Infranto al Tramonto di un Sole che Illumina Altri (Broken Circle at the Sunset of a Sun that Lights Someone Else) by Melody Morgan Carter This is devoted to Fiorangela Special agent Dana Scully had just finished to packing her suitcase to come back to Washington DC. She went onto the porch outside her room to enjoy the sunset, in a extraordinarily limpid sky. She sat down on the stairs and watched some children playing near the motel for a while. Then her eyes went to the horizon which was coloured like a wonderful rainbow. Scully watched the sun, a circle broken by fiery clouds. When she heard the door open, she turned and smiled to her partner. "Are you looking the sunset?" Fox asked her, slipping his hands into the pockets of his jeans. "Yeah, today it looks very beautiful and... blue." "Why?" Scully smiled, watching the sunset. "Uh... I think... When the sun is setting, it lights someone else. Not us." "What's up, Scully? Are you afraid of leaving New Mexico? Or are you just sad because you haven't seen an alien ship crashing without commands?" "No... It's just that I've been thinking... thinking about the life... Our lives." "Yours and mine?" Dana nodded. "Have you ever thought about how many problems we have?" "What?!" Mulder screamed. "Yeah, I mean... it's like a... like a..." "An adverse fate?" he tried. "Like there's a writer who keeps on giving us so many problems..." Mulder looked her without speaking, a little perplexed. "Do you thinking I'm crazy?!" she screamed. "No..." "Oh, yes, yes, you do. I mean..." "Scully, I think if it's how you think it is, then there are many writers. Can you imagine only one person writing all these problems? He would have to be a perverse genius or a person who have nothing else to do... Do you remember that movie, 'Last Action Hero'?" "It was so sad when he found out the truth, he's just a character of a movie... And his whole life was decided by a group of scenarios. Think about that being us..." Mulder put his elbows on his thighs, leaning over her. "Who would think of a thing like: 'Write two characters, one paranoid because of his kidnapped sister and the other incredible sceptic'?" "Yeah. And then this group decides I am to be abducted because the actress wants to leave the set... Then she returns, so they make me mysteriously reappear. And maybe, one day, one of them says: 'Hey, guys, the audience is lowering! Write a love-story in here!'." Mulder glanced interrogatively at her: "_Which_ lovestory?" Dana suddenly lowered her eyes over the stairs. "Uh, if we are the protagonists in a movie... uhm... we... maybe... uh..." "Um, yes, I got the idea." Mulder said, keeping from her the awkwardness of what is going on. Scully turned to him. She watched him, like if she wanted to ask something, but then she closed her eyes, waiting for him to move, hoping he'd understand. Mulder neared to her face, slowly, hoping she wouldn't change her mind at the last moment. The sun had almost set, the light was so ideal and everything seemed made just to create that moment, that never seemed to come. They were so near... BANG! Dana and Fox went suddenly far from each other, reaching instinctively for their guns. But when they saw the children playing with toy guns, the two agents broke into a laugh. "Yeah..." Fox stuttered. Dana turned to the horizon, awkward. "There's a very opposed writer..." THE END (?) (c) Copyright Text Castiglioni 1998 FEEDBACK!!!!!! Please please pleaseeeeee!!!!!!!
