Title: Happiness - Get Ready To Rumble! Author: shawntaw Category: MSR, Au Rating: G Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. I am making no profit, and I assume the phrase "Get Ready To Rumble" is owned by that wrestling announcer who says it. I don't even know who he is. I don't watch wrestling. BUT I'm making no money off of it anyway. Summary: Did Byers bed the lovely Kimberly? Will Bill Scully kill Walter Skinner or vice versa? And where the heck are Mulder and Scully in all this mess? Feedback makes me very happy at shawntaw@hotmail.com :) TO DANIELA LABOD WHO HAS MADE A WEBSITE OF MY STORIES: www.geocities.com/corran_14776/shawntaw.html Thank you.:) ********************************************************************** Skinner barely had time to set Maggie down and gently push her out of the way as Bill Scully landed a punch square on his jaw. Skinner fell and he could hear Maggie yelling at her son as he hit the sidewalk. "For God's Sake, Bill, have you lost your mind!?! Stop it, this instant!" Another blow landed across Skinner's nose and he saw stars. *That's it. Maggie's boy or no, you are mine* Skinner pushed himself up to sitting and firmly grabbed Bill's wrist as he threw another punch. He brought his other fist swinging into the surprised man's face. *Not bad for an old fart, huh?* Skinner's grin was a menacing grimace as he stood over the fallen man. "What is going on here?!" Scully's voice exclaimed. Skinner could hear her and another, heavier set of footsteps rapidly approaching. Bill chose that moment to relaunch himself at Skinner. "You s.o.b., what the hell did you do to my mother?!" Skinner recognized that Bill was pulling some tricks out of his Naval- training hat and the Marine in him surged. His eyes sparked. *Oh good, a REAL fight* Skinner could hear voices screaming as he and the younger man rolled furiously across the grass of Maggie Scully's front lawn. ********************************************************************** Byers leaned toward Kimberly in the dim lighting. "Idea?" he repeated. She nodded, a mischevious look on her face. Kim grabbed his hand. "Come with me, hurry." She led him into her bedroom. Byers felt the blush crawling up his face. He stood and looked at her. Kim giggled. "Oh, I can't wait to see their faces! Especially Melvin's." She threw open her closet and knelt inside. Byers could hear her mumbling to herself. "Where is it? I thought I put it- Ah! Here it is!" She scooted out backwards, holding a large white gift box. "I bought this last month when I saw it in the store as a gift for my boss's birthday. Its in a couple of weeks," she explained as she carried it to the bed. "I'm always picking on him to relax, and I thought this present would be perfect for that." She opened the box and pulled out a huge, dark blue, terrycloth robe. "Plus, the exasperated look he'll give me when he opens it will be priceless." Byers just stared at it. *And this had to do with him, how?* She held it out to him. "Take off your clothes, John." Byers gulped. ********************************************************************** Mulder watched his boss and future brother-in-law rolling across the grass with his mouth hanging open. *Um, ok...* Scully and her mother stood on the sidelines, yelling at the two men to stop pounding one another. "Bill! Cut it out! Skinner's an ex-marine; don't be stupid!" Scully was trying reason on her brother. "Walter! Stop being so immature!" Maggie shouted, appealling to Skinner's age and usual bearing. Mulder looked around stunned, wondering what in the heck he was supposed to do in this situation. It came to him in a flash of schoolyard memories from his childhood. He ran around the side of the house. ********************************************************************** "Eh-Eh-Eh-" Byers sputtered, swallowed, and tried again. "Excuse me?" "Take off your clothes and put the robe on," she explained, still holding the robe out to him. "Can't you just see their faces when you come out of my bedroom with a robe on?" She laughed shortly. He simply stood for a moment, staring at her. "What about what they will think of you?" She shrugged, "I'm not worried about it, John, as long as you know the truth." Kim stepped forward and began loosening his tye. "Besides, I didn't like that whole 'computer geek' comment. I was a nerd myself in school and I think it is unfair to automatically assume a woman wouldn't go out with you. You are very handsome and gentlemanly." His blush deepened and his breath caught in his throat. She raised her eyes to meet his. "What's not to like?" The voice in his head began to harp on him again. He leaned forward and gently kissed her. She smiled against his lips after a moment and he pulled away, looking at her questioningly. "Your beard tickles," she whispered as they regarded one another, nose to nose. ********************************************************************** Mulder found what he was looking for, but had to pause for a moment to hook it back up. It had been winterized. He cursed impatiently, hoping the two men weren't killing one another in his absence. Finally getting everything in working order, he ran back around the house and out to the front yard. Skinner had Bill on his stomach, one knee in his back and one arm wrenched in what looked like some sort of wrestling hold. Mulder paused. Maybe the fight was over. But Bill executed a twist and backhanded Skinner across the face, sending his glasses flying. Mulder reflected that it was amazing they hadn't been lost sooner. The two men went back to rolling on the ground, grunting with their efforts. Scully and Maggie were still shouting. Some of the neighbors had come into their yards as well for the show. Mulder heard sirens in the distance. *Oh crap* He held up the sprayer on the end of the water-hose, adjusted it to its strongest stream and stepped up to the two men. "Mulder! What are you doing?!" He heard Scully shout. Mulder considered a moment.... "Fox?!" Now Maggie was yelling at him. ...and shot a powerful stream of freezing water into the face of Bill Scully. ********************************************************************** Kim stepped out of the room to allow Byers to change in private. He heard her let his friends in the front door and their slightly muffled conversation. Byers shook his head, unsure of the wisdom of this practical joke they were playing on Frohike and Langley. On the other hand, his male heart swelled with pride that they would think he had been able to 'bed' the lovely Kimberly. And on the first date, no less. He chuckled quietly as he began to undress and lay his clothes neatly on the end of Kimberly's bed. ********************************************************************** Oh, I'm on a roll! I made MYSELF chuckle! *L* I'm still writing frantically, just thought I'd get this posted...
