Summary: Mulder & Krycek would be watching Fox, but it's not on Cox.
Rating: R. lots of innuendoes.
Author's notes: this story is about the short time when Cox cable wasn't carrying Fox. i know that fox is back on cox. thanx to the person who told me as much. I just thought this concept was too funny to pass up. this is un-beta'd. sorry. this is dedicated to the debate on krycek being a czech name & Gillian who's sick today.


Mulder's Apartment
Monday, January 3
9 p.m.

"Hey Krycek!" Mulder exclaimed, barely containing his excitement. "I thought you'd never make it. We're gonna miss the beginning of Ally McBeal!"

"Well, excuse me. I just stopped to get you a peach wine cooler, just like you love."

"I'm sorry, Alex. You know how my blood boils for John Cage."

"That's ok, snookems."

They walked to the tv, and turned it on. To their dismay, channel five had no Ally McBeal, but Fox Family channel.

"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

"Fox, calm down. I'm not surprised by this. I heard on the radio something about the new cable company not having Fox."

"Well, what can we do?"

"You know what I wanna do."

"Ok, lover. Put down that wine cooler."

Two Days Later

"Krycek, this is hell! No Ally McBeal, no Party of Five, and no Beverley Hills 90210!"

"So call that number they give on commercial to keep Fox on Cox. If I had my way, Fox would always be on Cox."

"Krycek, this is serious! Hmmff, Krycek, what kind of a name is that?"

"It's Czech."

"Czech my ass!"

"I'd gladly check your ass. You'll have to drop your pants though."

Mulder cracked a smile. "I'm sorry I'm being such a whiny baby."

"It's alright. I'm used to it."

"Aack! Frasier's on. That show sucks! I wish Fox was on."

"Well, then Fox, see if Fox is back yet."

"Ok, Alex, but it won't be."

Mulder switched to Fox. "OHMIGOD! It's on!"

"Fox in on Cox again. Lucky me. So since your counter part is on Cox, do you think you could oblige me?"

"You got it, you sexy thing."
