The Aquarium
By Claudia Modell

 
That morning was like any other for Gold and Fish. 

Gold used to wake up very soon to make herself beautiful giving
special attention to her fins, in order to be ready when Fish woke up.

It wasn`t like she did that to him. Far away from this!

Fish was a very disordered fish. He always left the little stones
messed up in the aquarium.
On the other side, she was so organized, so perfect.

Gold liked to clean the aquarium glass with her mouth. She couldn`t
imagine that this only movement made Fish go crazy with lust. For him
she was the most charming golden fish in the entire world. Not that
he had had known other golden fishes in his busy life.

Anyway, since the moment They put her beside him, his life changed.
He used to think only in finding the Truth, where he came from, who
feed him. But now he had another distraction, and her name was Gold.

Too bad that she didn`t share his beliefs. For her there wasn`t
anything beyond the glass. It didn`t matter the proofs he showed her.
Gold had always an argument against them. If he said that someone was
out there, or something, she said that it was God. 

She said that the light came from the sun, and Fish said that it was
impossible, since sometimes the light didn`t come for days. 

But Gold had an answer for that, too. She used to say that it was a
God`s punishment because she didn`t clean the glass as she was
supposed to do.

And she went fast to clean the glass, one more time.

Well, as it had been said at first, that morning was like any other
morning. Fish and Gold hadn`t eaten for days and Gold said it was her
fault, since she didn`t clean the glass, again.

Suddenly a bright light invaded the room. 

Fish was fascinate and went to the glass to see better. Gold began
to scream his name, afraid of what could happen. 

Then the light was gone, leaving Gold and Fish in the darkness again.

Gold was searching for her partner but she was lost in the darkness,
not knowing where to go.
And, again, the light came, this time softly, but it brought some
kind of earthquake with it.

There`re waves on the top. If Gold weren`t so skeptical she would
say that a strange being was making those waves.

Before she could bubble anything, Gold saw an UFO, all blue and red,
entering slowly in the clean (thanks to her) water.

Even if Fish was afraid he came near of the UFO, and even gave a
reassuring look to Gold, showing that everything was fine. 

But, before he could turn again, the UFO moved, going up very fast.
It took Fish with it.
Gold panicked. She ran to save Fish, even if she was afraid. But,
before she could do anything the light was gone.

When it came back, one more time, she was alone. In the bottom there
was only the UFO.

Fish had disappeared.

_ It`s done, Scully. You take the male to another aquarium. 

_ Why Mulder??

_ I told you. This species is dangerous. If the female is pregnant
we have to separate the couple. 

_ Poor little fish, is she going to gave birth all alone?

_ I left the UFO so she will have company and the little fishes will
play inside of it.

_ It isn`t that easy. You`d see if it happened with you. 

End

The Aquarium visited by Shippers and Fencers

_ The babies are Fish`s. They love each other. She kissed him
instead of cleaning the glass. It was just the beginning of an
wonderful relationshipp. 

Said a crazy shipper.

_ Please! The UFO made Gold be pregnant. They aren`t even of the
same species, they can`t have babies. His only thought is about the
Truth and she only thinks about cleaning the glass.

Said a fencer, very sure of it.

_ The are no fishes.

Said a noromo (the last one).

The Aquarium visited by X-Philes and not.

_ I really would like to know what the people see in fishes. It`s a
stupid thing. They even have colections, posters and God knows what
more. They should get a life. 

Said a non-fan.

_ Fishes are beautiful, wonderful. The female is a very good
actrees, and the male has some fins! 

Said an X-Phile.

_ There are no fishes.

Said a noromo. (the same one)

The Aquarium visited by Mulder and Scully.

_ These fishes are really cute. Too bad she doesn`t want anything
with him. I even put the UFO, so he can get distracted.

Said Mulder, looking at the fishes in the darkness.

_ What silly toy Mulder put in the aquarium. This way these fishes
will never get along. The male is distracted by UFOS!

Said Scully, while Mulder was sleeping in the next room.

_ There are no fis ......

Shut up.
