Up and up and… Gone?

Mulder sat at the FBI picnic dinner table and looked longingly at the turkey that was happenly placed right in front of him. All the other agents were over playing games a fair few metres away. Mulder looked at the turkey

'I wonder what its last wish was before it was put to rest?' Mulder thought. He poked it.

"I bet your wish was to fly" Just then some helium balloons were placed at the far end of the table. Mulder looked at them curiously.

'Hmm? I wonder?' Mulder slid his butt along the bench until he stopped in front of the balloons. Looking around to see if anyone was watching, he quickly 'acquired' them and slid back along the bench to the turkey. Mulder picked up one of the wings first, then he proceeded to tie the helium balloon around it tightly. Satisfied with that he then tied another one around the other wing and let go… Mulder looked on disappointingly as the turkey didn't lift off. He looked around and saw a few more helium balloons over on the other table with yet another turkey. He turned back to the his turkey

"Oh, I'm sorry about your brother, I don't have enough balloons for him… I'll be right back" Mulder slipped off the bench and quickly sped around to the tables acquiring more balloons. Making it back he then started to tie the balloons onto the turkey's wings. When he had finished he counted them but didn't let go

"7, 8, 9, 10… 5 on each wing" Just then he heard a familiar voice behind him

"Mulder what are you doing?" Mulder jumped and let go of the turkey and spun around

"Nothing" he replied. Just then he felt a brush of wind and saw the 'Oh my God' look on Scully's face

"Mulder? You just put helium balloons on Skinners turkey didn't you?" Mulder looked up as it flew higher and higher, just then seasoned stuffing fell from the turkey's…well we won't go there.

"His last wish was to fly! I swear!" Scully rubbed her face

"Mulder, its last wish was probably to eat and that's what Skinner and the others are going to do in 5 minutes but they can't if their turkey is seasoning the city as we speak!" Just then Mulder had an idea

"Hey Scully, do you have your gun? I think it's turkey season" Scully stopped

"Mulder it's already gone! Trust you to tie helium balloons to a turkey and let go, only you would be stupid enough..."

"Agents?" They both jumped and turned quickly to see Skinner behind them

"Yes sir?" they gulped

"Is everything alrig…Where's my turkey?" Mulder pointed at Scullly

"She ate it!" Scully turned to him

"What?!" Just then something splattered Skinners bad head. Skinner reached up and wiped it, then smelt it

"It's seasoned stuffing?" Skinner looked up to see his lovely turkey floating in the air.

"Is that my turkey?" he asked slowly. Mulder pursed his lips

"Depends if you're going to get angry…"

"Agent Mulder?!"

"Yes it is! He just wanted to fly once in his life!" Mulder argued, Skinner turned on him

"You'll fly if you don't get it back down!..." Mulder put his hands out in protest when suddenly something heavy fell into them. They all looked to see a wingless turkey.

"Here you go sir!" Mulder handed him the rest of it.

"Where are the wings?" Mulder looked up

"I think NASA will get them soon…" Mulder looked at Skinners angry face "Huston I think we have a problem"
