MULDER AND SCULLY'S OFFICE
JULY 4TH, 2000
4:45 P.M.
"So Scully, any big plans for tonight?"  He looked over at his partner who 
was looking at an autopsy report.  "Nope."  Mulder looked at her, surprised. 
"You're not going to watch the fireworks display at the White House?"  She 
continued to study the report.  "Nope." 
"C'mon Scully, it's the 4th of July, Independence Day, the celebration of our 
Nation's freedom."  She looked up.  "And...?"  He stared at her in shock.  
"What?  Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why don't you want to go see the fireworks?"
"I've got to much work to do Mulder."  He stood up and walked over to her.  
"You're lying.  Why don't you want to go?"  She put down the file.  "It's too 
loud."  Mulder scoffed.  "You listen to guns being shot, but you can't stand 
the sound of fireworks?  I'm not buying that Scully."  She sighed.  "Fine 
Mulder.  Here's the truth.  I've never been to a fireworks show."  He stared 
at her in disbelief.  "Not even when you were little?"  She shook her head.  
"We were always moving around at that time, and I guess my parents never 
bothered to take us.  I mean, I watch them all the time on TV, but never in 
person."  Mulder shook his head.  "I'm going to take you tonight."  Scully 
started to protest.  "But Mulder - "  
"No buts Scully.  I'll pick you up at 9:15; fireworks start at 10:00."  
Before she could say no, he had walked out of the office.
*************************************************************Scully's 
apartment
9:10 P.M.

Scully looked at herself in the mirror and pulled down her shirt.  <Why am I 
so nervous?  It's not like I've never been anywhere with Mulder before.>  She 
ran a hand threw her hair.  <Because Mulder's never asked you out like *that* 
before.>  The doorbell rang.  <Oh Lord he's here.  Please God, get me through 
this..>  She opened the door.  "Hi Mulder.  Come on in."  Mulder looked at 
her and sucked in a breath.  "You look good Scully."  He immediately tried to 
kick himself in the ass for being so forward, but covered it up with a smile. 
 <Oh lord, he's never complimented me like *that* before>  "We better go so 
we can get a good seat."  She smiled at him.  "Let me go grab my jacket and 
then we can go."  <Yes!  Chalk one up for Agent Scully.  I've got him 
flustered.>  She grabbed the leather jacket that Mulder had gotten her right 
before the incident in Antarctica.  She looked once more into the mirror, 
dabbed a bit of perfume behind her ears, then walked back into the living 
room.  The look on Mulder's face when he saw the jacket was priceless.  "I'm 
ready to go now Mulder."  He stuttered when he tried to talk.  "Uh.. well, 
let's, let's go then."  Scully smiled towards the sky and closed the door 
behind them.
*************************************************************

White House
9:57 P.M.

Mulder sat down on the grass next to Scully after handing her a bottle of 
water.  <God, she's never looked this good before.>  He watched her lips go 
around the bottle.  <Down, boy.>  Suddenly a loud voice came over the P.A. 
system.  "Ladies and gentlemen, the fireworks will begin in one minute." 
"Mulder, do you come out and watch this every year?"  Mulder took the chance 
and looked over at Scully.  <When did her lips start looking like ripe 
strawberries?>  He didn't trust his voice so he nodded.  "Is it any good?"  
Again, he nodded.  "Mulder, why won't you talk to me?"  She had a playful 
smile on her lips.  He cleared his throat.  "The fireworks are excellent here 
Scully."  Just then, the first firework shot up into the sky and burst with 
brilliant colors.  Scully jumped at the noise.  "Are they always this loud?"  
Mulder laughed.  "Yeah, every year" The next one flared up and exploded with 
such a loud 'boom' that car alarms went off.  Scully scooted closer to 
Mulder.  <Oh no!  What do I do now?>  He watched her for a few minutes; not 
even paying attention to the fireworks in the sky, but the colors being 
illuminated in her eyes and on her face.  She had such a childlike innocence; 
not something that Mulder had the chance to see often, especially in their 
line of work.  He slowly put his arm around her.  She looked at him shocked, 
like she had forgotten he was even there.  Then she relaxed and put her head 
on his shoulder and together they watched the fireworks until the end.

Scully's Apartment
11:00 P.M.

Scully unlocked her apartment door.  "Thanks for taking me out tonight 
Mulder.  I had a great time."  <So if you had such a great time, why don't 
you invite him in already?>  "I'm glad you had a good time Dana.  <Oh no.  He 
called me Dana.  He only calls me that when something bad happens.  Or he 
wants something.>  "What?"
"Can I come in Scully?  There's something I want to tell you."  <I swear 
Mulder, if you tell me something like we need to hit the road for Maine, I'm 
gonna kick your ass..>  "Sure."  She held the door open for him, he walked in 
and she shut it behind him.  "Make yourself comfortable."  She took off her 
jacket while he sat down on the couch.  "Scully this is really hard for me to 
tell you."  A look of concern passed over her face.  <Please God, don't let 
him ruin the moment...>  "What is it Mulder?"  He fumbled for the right 
words.  "You looked amazing tonight."  <What?!?>  "Watching you watch those 
fireworks was better than anything I've ever witnessed in my life.  You 
looked like a kid on Christmas morning that couldn't wait to open her 
presents."  He stopped for a breath of shaky air and tentatively touched her 
on the cheek which had turned a magnificent shade of crimson.  <Oh shit, now 
what?>  She touched his hand on her cheek.  "No one's ever really done 
anything like that before.  For me, I mean."  <Fumble!>  He leaned in and 
kissed her lips so softly, it almost wasn't there.  <No!  We can't do this, 
were're partners!>  She ignored her conscience and initiated a deeper, 
stronger kiss.  He broke the kiss as his hands came up and snaked themselves 
around the back of her neck.  His eyes closed as he kissed her again and she 
sighed.  "Mulder..."  He suddenly pulled back and stood up.  "I better go 
Scully."  <Damnit Dana, see what happens when you open your big mouth.  Now 
use it to make him stay!>  "I don't want you to go."  He looked like the 
weight of a thousand bricks had suddenly been lifted off of his chest.  
"Scully, you were so beautiful this evening, and I don't want to complicate 
our lives, I mean, not that their not already complicated, what with work and 
all.."  He shuffled his feet.  <Is that Fox Mulder.. blushing?!?>  "I do know 
what you mean."  She got up and walked up next to him and lead him back to 
the couch with her.  He gingerly sat down next to her, playing with his hands 
nervously.  Scully reached over and traced his cheek with her finger.  
"What's wrong?"  He blushed harder.  "It's been a long week.  The fireworks 
lasted a little bit longer this year; were both tired."  She cocked her head 
to the side.  "But what does that have to do with the fact that you kissed 
me?  Or the fact that I like it?"  He looked at her in shock.  <Nice recovery 
Dana.>  Mulder scooted closer to Scully and placed his hands on her 
shoulders. "If we do this, it could screw up everything.  If Skinner were to 
find out, we'd be seperated, or even worse, fired."  <Great, now his 
conscience is working overtime.  Since when has it done that?>  "But Mulder, 
what if it doesn't?"  She leaned forward and met his lips with a light touch. 
 "We won't know until we do it.."  <Excellent work...>  Mulder pulled her 
down on top of him and ran a hand down her back making her shiver.  She 
lightly kissed his nose, a playful grin on her face, and then met his mouth 
in a kiss.  <Dana, are you sure you want to do this?  Don't do something that 
might...>  She pushed the voice of indecision into the back of her mind and 
ran her tongue over his teeth.  She pulled free and sat up.  "The bed has 
more room."  With that he scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom.  He 
put her down and she put her head down on his chest, listening to his heart 
beating.  She remembered all the times she thought she might not ever see her 
partner again.  Her eyes closed as she pushed back the threatening tears.  <
Now is not the time, or the place, Dana> She felt his hands slowly stroking 
her hair, holding her tight.  After what seemed like an eternity to Mulder, 
she pulled away.  Mulder kicked off his shoes while Scully did the same.  He 
moved in front of her and almost reverently drew a hand along her neck, 
stopping for a moment at the place where the implant was in her neck.  He 
dropped it down again and began to unbutton her silk blouse.  He moved closer 
to her and nuzzled his face her neck, then slid the material off of her body. 
 She shivered as his lips made their way down her arms, back up to her mouth 
and then to her shoulder blade as his hand undid her bra.  She tossed his 
shirt aside, into the growing pile of clothes.  As she moved her hands up and 
down his back, she gasped as he suddenly hit a sensitive spot, then dropped 
kisses into his neckline.  She moved up to his face as his hands slowly 
explored her body.  She pressed closer against him and the sudden heat from 
their bare chests caused them both to moan.  Their mouths came together 
again, this time, hungry and eager for more.  Mulder laid them gently onto 
the bed and propped himself up on one elbow so he could continue to explore 
her.  Scully had never seen Mulder smile so much in his life.  He dropped a 
series of kisses over her breasts, enjoying her sharp intake of breath.  
Scully took in a mouthful of air.  <Calm down, Dana.  Don't rush this> She 
took a firm hold of his hair and pulled him back up to her.  He met her eyes, 
the softness speaking in ways that words never could.  Her hands tickled 
lightly at his nipples and he tensed under her touch.  She moved to his 
waist, touching his belt.  Looking deeply into his eyes, she moved a hand 
over the front, feeling him harden and rise through the fabric.  He broke the 
connection of their eyes by closing them and letting out a small moan.  Her 
hands unbuckled the belt, snapped open the button and unzipped the zipper.  
She let out her own small gasp and slipped her hands down under the elastic 
and touched him.  "Oooo, Scully..."  <One more point for me..>  Mulder still 
had his eyes tightly closed and was biting his lip.  "Oh God..."  She left 
one hand there and slid the other around to pull his pants down towards his 
knees, leaving his shorts on. After a few minutes, Mulder had a tight smile 
on his face.  His breathing was labored.  "I.... oooo.. Scully ... give me a 
minute.."  He grinned at her.  "My turn.  <Oh no.>
*************************************************************
He danced his fingers across her bare stomach for a few minutes, then moved 
to the button on her pants.  He snapped it open and pulled down the zipper.  
Dana helped him by lifting up her hips as he slipped the pants down.  With a 
quick kick, he watched them fly across the room.  Mulder stared at them.  <
Damn, she's good.>  "Eager, huh?"  She snickered.  "Like your not?"  She 
leaned forward and gave him a kiss, her arms wrapped around his neck.  He 
slid his hand under her panties, his fingers lightly drawing patterns in the 
copper hair.  Her kisses increased in intensity as his fingers moved lower, 
the heat between her legs increasing.  She pulled her mouth away from his, 
gasping.  <Oh yeah, this is gonna be good.>  She moved her hands down to his 
growing member, loving his sudden shudder from head to toe.  With little 
effort, Mulder pulled the away the material.  <God, she is so beautiful.>  He 
looked deep into her eyes and with a loving smile, ran a finger down into 
her, feeling her moisture increase as he started stroking her and touching 
her.  A strangled moan escaped her lips as she stared at him, trusting him 
totally.  <If she liked that, she's gonna love this...>  Mulder dropped 
kisses into her hairline and pulled his hand free.  With a devilish smile, he 
began kissing his way down her front...
*************************************************************<Oh I know 
exactly where your going buddy..>  She tensed as his tongue gently touched 
her.  He slowly moved in circles and they could both feel the tension 
building in her body.  She shivered wildly as his fingers did a dance on her 
stomach.  She reached down trying to grab a hold of his hair, but instead her 
fingers met his and they intertwined.  She took a deep breath as the waves 
began to pound into her.  <Oh, Jesus, Mary, Joseph..!!>  Her fingers 
tightened around his as his tongue started moving faster, in circles and 
lines around her, intensifying as he felt the first electric shock break 
loose from deep within her.  He lifted his head just in time to see the look 
of ecstasy on her face as the waves hit her full force, her back arched up 
off of the bed.  Her hands loosened and she fell limp.  <Oh, Mulder you are 
sooo good.>  He moved back up the bed and she felt him gather her in his 
arms, her breathing slowing down quite a bit.  With an effort, she opened her 
eyes and was greeted by the love shining down on her from him.  She reached 
down to hold him and pulled the boxer shorts free as she stroked him.  Mulder 
gasped, then smiled as she met his lips in a passionate kiss.  <Okay Mulder, 
it's time to show me what your really made of.>  Scully pulled him down to 
her with a knowing smile.  Trying to stay calm, Mulder moved between her 
legs.  She felt him gently enter her.  Both of them moaned at the sensation 
and then he began to move inside her, and she could feel his breathing become 
irregular.  <Oh yes..>  He withdrew from her almost completely and kissed her 
with all the love he had, then tenderly reentered, enjoying her low moan.  As 
he began to move faster she could feel the pressure begin to emanate; the 
tension of a lion ready to strike his prey running through him as he thrust 
deeper and harder into her.  He let loose with a loud cry and buried his face 
in her neck.  <Oh Mulder..oh yes..>  They both fell back into the pillows 
deeply satisfied.  "Mulder?"  He rolled over onto his side to hold her.  
"Mhmm?"   He traced her face with her fingers. "I just saw fireworks."  He 
chuckled lightly.  "What a way to celebrate Independence Day."  <If I would 
have known this would happen, I would have gone to see the fireworks 7 years 
ago.>  "I love you Mulder."  He put his arms around her and closed his eyes.  
"I love you too Scully."  With that said, they both fell asleep in each 
others arms, knowing they never had to be alone again.
