Dedication: This is for everyone who has listened to my endless babble about the X-Files, Mulder, Scully, DD, GA and my threats to CC in times of disagreement. I FELL IN LOVE BY: APearce ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF COMITY Mulder and Scully sat in the car silently. Neither could believe the things that they had said to each other, nor what the other had said to them. They both new it was more than just some bizarre planetary allingment. The stress in their lives and jobs had finallt caused them to flip. Detective White and bizarre towns people hadn't helped. They needed to get away from the job, they needed a vacation. "Mulder?" Scully stared straight ahead at the road but she was determined to fix things up, after all they were partners, best friends and had gotten through a hell of alot worse things. "I'm sorry, Scully" Mulder surprised them both, he usually never admitted to any responsibility to a problem. "I didn't meen what I said y'know." The car was silent for a moment, surprise the only thing in both of their minds. "I'm sorry to Mulder, the things I said were immature of me, it's no right of mine to interfere in your social life, I just was upset." Replied Scully who had been nearly in tears when he pretended she wasn't there. "Friends?" Mulder said trying to patch things up to the best of his ability. "Friends." Agreed Scully who smiled for the first time since they had entered Comity. MULDER'S APARTMENT 1 WEEK LATER "So Scully, did you pack your bathing suit?" Asked Mulder with a goofy grin. Mulder & Scully had decided they needed a break and so they planned to go on a vacation together. After much thought they had decided on Disney world. After all, nothing strange ever happened at Disney World so they were guaranteed a work free-two week vacation. "Yes Mulder, as a matter of fact I did." She smiled then whispered in his ear "But you have to wait to see it, if you're lucky." For the first time in his life Mulder didn't know what to say. Had Scully just made that comment? Usually he was the one making the off-beat and playful comments. Now the tables had turned and Mulder now knew what it was like when he made comments like that to Scully. Trying to think of a reply, and thinking of nothing he replied lamely "uh, yeah, um we better go so, uh, we don't miss the plane. Scully noticed his surprised reaction, it was time for her to have some fun. "Coming Mulder?" She called back over her shoulder. "Yeah, wait up Scully!" AIRPLANE "I thing I'm gonna be sick, Scully." Said Mulder, his face very pale. "Mulder, I told you not to eat all that junk food before getting on the plane." Scolded Scully. During the flight they had encountered some turbulence and after eating numerous times of candy, two whistle dogs, assorted chips and God knows what else, Mulder had learned that motion and food do not mix. "I have to go to the washroom." Said Mulder quickly trying to avoid being sick." Mulder said weakly. Scully moved her legs closer to her chair to allow him to pass by. Noticing the backpack Mulder had been carrying she had a sudden urge to see what was so precious that he refused to put it with his other luggage. Looking around to see if anyone was watching (not that it mattered) Scully undid the zipper. As she rummaged through the bag she found, a picture of Samantha, a book on UFOs, the latest issue of the Lone Gunmen as well as a picture of herself. That was a surprise, she hadn't remembered her giving it to him. Mom, she thought, she probably had givin it to him. Just then she saw Mulder maneuvering down the isle towards her. She zipped up the bag and put it where she found it, pretending to be asleep. "Scully, Scully, you never sleep on planes so let me by." Mulder said impatiently. "Oh, sorry Mulder." Scully replied. The rest of the plane trip in silence. Scully found herself staring at Mulder as he slept. He looks so peaceful, and something else. Then all of a sudden it hit her, she had fallen in love with Mulder. She pushed the thought away, she was being silly. She realized that for the first time in along time there were no other distractions and she had finally discovered what the feeling she held towards Fox Mulder was more than friendship. Mulder, while asleep was having a surprisingly pleasant dream. Being away from work had finally let him have some half normal thoughts. He was with Scully in Disneyland and they were having a marvelous time. In his dream he kissed her. He woke up with a start, where had that come from? He and Scully were friends, right? As he glanced over at his partner he realized that while he had been preoccupied with finding aliens, something else had happened. He had fallen in love with Dana Scully. HOTEL NEAR DISNEY WORLD "So what do ya think?" asked Mulder. They were surrounded by various cartoon characters in an elaborately decorated room. Everywhere, there was something to tell you that this was a Disney Hotel. "Mulder, why did we have to stay in one of theses places where Mickey Mouse serves you breakfast?" Scully liked the idea of visiting Disney World but she didn't want to be surrounded by it. "Because it was a good deal, look we get a half price admission!" Mulder engulfed himself in reading various pamphlets left in the room. Meanwhile Scully was smiling secretly, she had never seen this side of Mulder, he was like a kid in a candy store. DISNEY WORLD THE NEXT DAY Mulder was tugging Scully's arm, "Come on Scully, it won't be that scary" he said pointing to people coming down a type of water fall in logs. "I don't know Mulder, it's not my idea of fun. HALF AN HOUR LATER "Y'ready Scully?" Mulder queried grinning. "I guess" replied Scully tentatively. They both sat down in the log. Suddenly the log jumped forward and before she knew waht happened Scully was screaming and clinging to Mulder. This was really nerve-racking thought Scully. Soon wet and scared Mulder and Scully exited the log. LATER THAT NIGHT Scully couldn't believe what Mulder had put her through that day. Various scary rides later, an oer priced hotdog and drink, the meeting of various cartoon characters and the buying of various over-priced souvenirs Scully sat in their motel room ready to fall asleep. Mulder came bounding over to her, "Scully there's fireworks, let's go!" Before Scully could protest she was being pulled out of their room with her over-enthusiastic partner. "They're beautiful" Whispered Scully in amazement. "Just like you" replied Mulder. There was an awkward moment between them and then Mulder bent down to kiss her. They held each other admiring the fireworks and kissing until going back to their room. THE END Feedback is welcome. EMAIL: Bpearce7@aol.ca
