Category: Actorfic, Post-Ep for Roadrunners but the only violence in here is
the character assassination of one Dana Katherine Scully. Shouldn't offend
anyone any more than the ep itself did in the first place.

Feedback: Heh. Heh heh heh. Heh.
Summary: A rational explanation as to why the "New Scully" is so reminiscent
of "New Coke." 200 words, no beta.

"And, cut! That's a wrap, folks," the director calls.

A tall man and a short woman walk back from the set to the same trailer,
their height difference accentuated respectively by the deep brown and red
of their hair. Shortly after arrival, the show's creator knocks on the
trailer door.

"See? What'd I tell you? Perfect. Nobody's going to notice the difference
between the Scully of before and now."

"You think?" the woman replied, removing her colored contacts and shrugging
off the Donna Karan coat. "I don't know, I think it's a huge change..." she
trailed.

"You were great. Really. The writhing, screaming, everything; simply
brilliant. Couldn't be better. The fans will be so absorbed by the story and
the newest creature they won't even notice the possibility of something
being off. All we need is David back and we're green lighted through season
12! We'll be bigger than 'M.A.S.H.' or even 'Cheers!'"

"Well, I'm not sure I want to keep doing this anymore." the tall man
intoned.

"Come on, you know he's right. It's time, David."

"All right, Tea. I'll come back to the show. But for God's sake, take off
that stupid red wig, willya?"

End.
