She couldn't believe that he had transferred her. She had thought that they were friends. *Best* friends. And now, by doing this, he was saying that he didn't want her in his life. She lifted up her bowed head. If that's what he wants, She thought. Then that's what he'll get..... What that decision, she strode out of his life forever, not knowing, that the man behind the office door had tears flooding down his face. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx FBI crime scene 1 month later Dana Scully pushed through the door, with her partner and close friend, Elizabeth Johnson, trailing behind. Dana had rushed in the door because of the chilly December day in Washington. Ever since she had left the X-files, she had been partnered up with her friend, Elizabeth in VCS. She mentally cursed herself for not wearing her over-coat as she glanced down at her outfit. A navy suit, with a skirt instead of the pants she usually wore. She had not worn pantyhose that day, but she wished she had. Her partner caught up with her, "Dana," she said. "Here's the crime scene right over here..." She lead Dana into a small hotel room, stuffed with other agent and local law officers. A tall, blonde female agent, one recognized by Dana as one of her former students, crossed over to them. "Agent Scully, Agent Johnson, we're glad that you could come at such short notice." she warmly stuck her hand out to both agents. Dana noted the tall man with dark brown hair, and deep hazel eyes in the corner of the room. But, due to her promise to herself, she paid no attention to him, nor did she notice his new partner, tall and slim, with brown hair and blue eyes..... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx At the mention of his ex-partner's name, Fox Mulder lifted his eyes off of the report in his hands to search the room for her. When he found her, he could not take his eyes off of her. Still like an angel. With the same petite slim, build, the same red-hair, now adorn with streaks of gold, the same blue eyes, yet somehow, they were not as warm as they used to be, they were grayer, colder. His eyes dropped to the ground as he realized that *he* had done that to her. His mind replayed the last day that she had spoken to him. // She had walked through the office, a bright smile on her gorgeous lips. Her eyes were the warm blue that he loved, with tiny golden specks in them. Her ivory skin had a rosy glow to it, due to the freezing weather outside. He still remembered what she had worn, slim-fitting black pants, that made her slim, muscular legs seems somewhat longer, low-heeled black pumps, a form-fitting black suit jacket and a v-neck white blouse. Dangling from her neck was the same golden cross, that lightened her innocence and pureness. She was an angel. As she brushed past him to the coffee maker, he had inhale the mix of a delicate rose scent coming from her skin and an heavenly strawberry scent from her fiery hair. "Good Morning Mulder." she said cheerfully as she settled at her desk, turning on her computer to start the days work. Mulder took in a deep breath and pre-pared his thoughts. How was he supposed to tell her? Tell her that he had asked Skinner to transfer her out of the X files for the remainder of her life. Which he knew would not be that much longer, for the cancer was getting worse and worse with each on-coming day. But the cancer had not weakened her soul, though it had it's effect on her body. She was the same on the inside, strong and loving, the only one he could trust, tell his deepest fears to her, if only he could tell her the love that he had directed towards her, and that he would love her for the rest of his life, even with her not there. "What's the matter Mulder?" she asked, crossing the room to him, kneeling before him. "Tell me." He looked into her eyes, bright, blue, the gateway to her kind, loving soul. He took in another deep breath and began, "I had you transferred to VCS." He saw her eyes widen, and her lips mouth a small "no", but he continued. "I did because, because-" he couldn't tell her the truth, that he wanted to protect her, protect her from getting hurt, maybe even killed, so he chose to go the other way. "Because, I simply cannot work with anyone, it's not just you, *anyone*. I'm sorry, Scully, but I can't." She stood up, and quietly whispered, "If that's what you want, Mulder." she turned sharply and went to her desk, gathering her coat, purse and briefcase. She went to the door, and without turning to face him, she said, "I'll send someone to gather my things." Then, as she opened the door, she spoke again in a strained whisper, "Good-bye." Then, she walked out of her life, forever.// Mulder's thoughts were interrupted by an annoying low, seductive voice, sounding, "Fox, Fox, wake up fox!" Mulder looked up at the his new partner, Janet Smith. She was tall, with dark hair and blue eyes, but not the warm blue of Scully's, hers seductive wanna-be's, always trying to win over Mulder. "Don't call me Fox." he growled through his teeth. Then, glanced back over to Scully, whose eyes were meeting his. She then looked at his new partner, standing too close to him. Her eyes widened again, but this time in anger, and she said a small excuse to the woman beside her and fled out of the room, with him following close behind. He caught up with in the hallway, he grabbed her shoulder, forcing her to look at him. "Scully-" "Don't talk to me you bastard!!" she roared. "Don't talk to me, if all you are going to say are lies!" "What?!?!?" he exclaimed. "What was all that shit about not wanting a partner?" she yelled. "You could have at least told me the truth, so I would have to spend night after night, day after day, in love with you!!!" His heart froze, was she in love with him? She went on, "You have been lying to me the whole 5 years we've known each other, haven't you? Pretending to be my friend, but secretly awaiting the day the I would die!!!" His heart broke into a million pieces, did she really think that little of him? "Well," her voice got harder and harsher, "You don't have to worry, just a little bit longer, and I'll be gone forever!!" He tried to stop her, but she pulled away from him, running out of the hotel to leave him standing, alone, with his heart, shattered on the ground.... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx part two coming soon!!!
