Sculder_1013@hotmail.com ------------------------------ Dana Scully walked into her apartment, an angry look on her face. She threw her keys down and plopped down on her couch. Her eyes narrowed as she thought about her partner, Fox Mulder. He had left town to investigate without her again, leaving orders for her to do more autopsies while he was gone. She was pissed and didnt mind telling Mulder this when she finally got ahold of him. She speed home, cursing his name the whole way. She was feeling less pissed now, kicking off her shoes and turning on the TV. The TV was set to MTV, blaring a catchy tune. Scully arched that brow of hers as she listened to the song: "He's everything you want He's everything you need He's everything inside of you That you wish you could be..." She sighed and turned off the TV. She walked into her room and turned on her computer. As she waited for it to boot up, she changed into her pajamas. After changing, she sat at her computer and began to read her e-mail. Nothing too special. She got a lot of pornography site offers from a multitude of people. She forwarded those to Mulder, but not without a grin. After weeding through more junk mail, she found a e-mail from her younger brother, Charlie. He sent his love and Scully wrote him back a nice, long, e-mail. A while later, she shut down her computer and crawled into bed. [2 days later] She woke up at 6 a.m. to the same song she heard on MTV 2 days back blaring from her alarm clock. As she stumbled out of bed, the DJ announced that the song was called "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon. She shrugged and proceeded to start her day. As she walked into her office that she shared with Mulder, she could of swore she heard the song play from a small radio on Mulder's desk. She did. "He says all the right things At exactly the right time But he means nothing to you And you don't know why...." "Mulder?," She asked, approaching his desk. "Huh?," He looked up at her and blinked, taking off his glasses. "You like that song?," She asked, sitting down in her chair. Mulder shrugged and nodded, going back to his work. She sighed and got to work as well. [Later that day] Driving home that night, she turned on the radio and tuned to a random channel. She frowned slightly as that song came on again. However, she didn't change the station. She listened to the lyrics carefully, trying to figure out why so many people had requested it for airplay. After a while, she found herself singing along. To her surprise, she found herself -liking- that song. As she layed down for bed, she made a mental note to buy the song single the next day. [A week later] Scully pulled into the parking space at the Federal Building, "Everything You Want" blaring from her speakers. She sat in her car for a few minutes, singing along at the top of her lungs, eyes closed, until the song ended. When she opened her eyes, she found Diana Fowley staring into the car at her. Scully arched that brow of hers and calmly exited her car, walking past Diana and clicking the "lock" button on her car keypad. As soon as she entered the elevator to go downstairs to the office, she groaned in embarrasment. "I cant believe I did that.....," she said, banging her head on the elevator side. She got out of the elevator and entered the office, greeting Mulder. "Oh hi Scully. Whats up?," Mulder asked, briefly looking up from his work. Scully sat at her desk and shook her head. "Nothing. Just..you know...getting to work...," she said, picking up a folder on her desk. Mulder nodded and continued reading his papers. Scully turned on the radio at a low volume, tuning to the local soft rock station. To her surprise, her song played. Mulder looked up and saw Scully singing along. He shook his head and returned to his work. As she sang along, she stared at Mulder, not even knowing why. As she sang the lyrics, she felt this strange feeling. She found herself thinking about Mulder..hardcore. She felt that the lyrics pertained to her feelings for Mulder. "Impossible," she thought. She didnt have feelings for him! Or did she.....? She groaned and tried to concentrate on her work...but it was hard to do when she was suddenly thinking of *Mulder* so much. [A week later] Dana sat in her apartment alone, listening to the song. She had come to the devastating conclusion that she did have feelings for him. Intense feelings. How she managed to overlook and ignore them was beyond her. "Stupid song...," she said, sighing. "I cant believe this." She sat for a while, staring at a blank TV, just thinking. All of a sudden...she picked up the phone and dialed Mulder's apartment. "Mulder," he answered, sending a bit of shock into Scully. "Mulder...hi..its..me," she said, feeling stupid. "What's up?," he said, putting his feet up on his coffeetable. "Nothing much. Just wanted to call to say hi.," "O..k.. You feeling ok, Scully?," he asked, eating a sunflower seed. "Uh yeah....Hey Mulder...have you heard of "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon?," she asked, biting her lip. "Oh yeah....great song...why?," he asked, turing off the TV. "Oh..no reason..I..," she gave up. Then she broke down. "Mulder...theres something I have to tell you. The song...the lyrics..its how I feel about you. You're everything I need...but I never knew until now..." She took a deep breath, expecting to hear a *click* from him hanging up. To her surprise, he spoke. "Scully?...I uh, dont know how to say this...but..I need and want you too...," he said softly, smiling. Scully relaxed and smiled. "I can't believe we denied ourselves all this time..I....," she said, being cut off by Mulder. "Scully..?," he said, smirking. "Yeah?," she asked, perking a brow. "I'll be there in 15...," he said, hanging up. Scully smiled, hung up the phone, and turned on the TV. END!! Please let me know if you like this!
