[Man, what a day. Things in the clinic was a lot of bad luck on her part, and even at home it wasn't all that great. Her dinner burned, her hair nearly caught on fire, the water for her bath wasn't working...

So it was time for a run. Around the village. About four times.

Scully will stop on occasion to take a breather, drink some water, and continue on. Hopefully she doesn't fall into a ditch or something.

Oh wait.

...and the bad luck continues. Figures.

Scully will find herself in a large ditch, her foot getting caught in... uh, something. She isn't sure what it is, but her foot is caught and she has no way of getting out.

You can catch her either running, or calling for help. Either way.]

[He can do this! No girly screams! Unless this is a hole of praying mantises. Then he will let his full terror be known.]

Hold on! Almost there...

[Sure enough, Mulder is carefully making his way down.]

You know, I've got a bit of Nala's pizazz, so I can try and heal you if it turns out you are hurt. I'm going for my MD next week.

[Totally kidding on the doctor thing, but how's that for a role reversal!]

Oh? Will I be a test monitor then, to make sure you're doing it right?

[She'll shift a little, and try to move again, but she'll wince.] I might be a little hurt.

Then Dr. Mulder is here to save the day.

[He makes it to the bottom, and heads over to Scully.]

Let's get you out of there, first...

[Mulder crouches down and starts trying to get her un-stuck.]

That'd be great, it feels like I at least twisted my ankle if I move it, which will make it a pain to get myself back up from where I came.

[She'll be helping him as best she can, from her position. Hopefully it actually helps instead of hinder.]

[It does help, since she's pretty stuck in there. But Mulder soon manages, after a bit of initial struggle. He makes an attempt to lighten things...]

Good news, we don't have to amputate.

[Ok, now to see if he can do something for it. He doesn't get to do this much, so he's going to have to focus a bit.]

Just give me a moment to get into the Nala-groove, so to speak.

That's a relief. I don't know how well I'd do with just one full leg here, considering my job.

[But she'll give him a weird look at the next comment.]

"Nala-groove"? It sounds like you're going to a disco.

[He laughs a bit at her comments.]

I'd be so envious if you ended up with a peg leg, you have no idea. Anyway... Nala is a pretty easy spirit to connect with, though you have to be in the right mindset for any of them...

[He concentrates a moment, and soon the soothing healing power from Nala emerges, going toward Scully's leg.]

I'll make sure there's one in my Halloween costume, just so you can be jealous of me, all right? [Yep, trying to lighten up the mood here. At his mention of Nala, she'll be quiet and just. Watch him work his magic. *badumtish*]

So you're going to be a pirate this year? Should I look for something to match?

[He's just glad he can do something for her, since normally he can't do a thing medically. Mulder lets the magic continue for as long as he can.]

There! That's as much as I can do now, I hope it helps...

Sure, if it gets me wearing a peg leg to bask in the envious vibes you'd be sending off.

[She'll wince a little but she won't let a little pain in her leg get her down, especially when she's teasing Mulder.]

Thanks. Yeah, it helped, it just hurts. I guess that's probably normal, huh?

I would literally turn green with envy, do you really want to see that?

[He looks at her with a nod, relieved that she's at least a bit better.]

Yeah, that's how it usually goes. It can only heal so much, but it ought to be enough to let you move around.

Yes, because I really don't know how anyone could do that scientifically so seeing that would be a scientific impossibility.

[Yes, you'd be an X-File. One she'd be interested in figuring out.]

Yeah, thanks. That'll help so I can get home.

Then we'll have to arrange for that to happen, just so I can hear you again utter the phrase, "scientific impossibility." That turns me on.

[He says that in one of those typical Muldery tones. But really, poking fun at things helps him feel less worried.]

If you need any support, just lean on me.

Is that going in your diary much like when I suggested that a case be the product of Spontaneous Human Combustion?

[She really does mean that as a question, though she's smirking as she asks this.]

Right, I'm sure I'll need plenty of that getting out of this ditch.

[Scully will pull herself up and wobble a little, but otherwise she's all right. She'll be looking to Mulder as her OK to get going.]

Of course, I have to keep my diary up to date after all.

[It really pleases him immensely when she actually seems to be favoring one of his kind of theories.]

Just take your time, and take it easy. You'll be all right.

[Mulder steps in to help when she needs it, so they can start getting out of here.]

[She'll just shake her head at him.] Is it going to sound something like, "Dear diary, I saved Scully from a ditch tonight, and she said 'scientific impossibility'! It made my heart leap once again to hear that she might be coming over to the spooky side.

Hearts, Mulder."?

[She'll be reciting this as she leans on him for support to get up the hill. Yes, this takes her mind off of the pain, which is what she needs.]

Close, but not quite. I sign my entries with an XOXO.

[He's more than willing to play along, especially if it makes Scully feel better. He knows well the way a good distraction can help things. He takes his time with her, not wanting to make her rush any.]

Oh. Sorry for the mistake. I figured you'd be the weird one but not that weird.

[hnnng stepping wrong is bad

She'll stumble a little, stop, and wait for a moment.] Clearly that was too much of a distraction from walking.

[All the concern and worry! Mulder pauses to help her get steady again.]

We'll save the inner workings of my secret diary for when we get comfortably inside. Just... take it easy, take your time, ok?

I'll be all right. We just have to get me up this hill. I can hobble my way back home with no problem I'm sure.

[All this is said with a grimace, but she's trying, at least.]

Besides, I want to hear all about your secret diary, as much as I can get out of you.

I'll bring you as far as you need.

[Just continuing to take it nice and slow.]

I've sworn myself to secrecy about most of its contents, but I think you've earned a few glimpses.
