Summary: Mulder and Scully as teenagers!! Mulder makes a bet that he can sleep with any girl by Xmas. You can probably figure how Scully works into this…

Chapter 1 – The Bet.

'Aw dude, that chick, what's-her-name with the big boobs…from Chem…' Fox Mulder groaned to his group of friends who were draped across the bleachers around him. 'Ahhh shit is she hot!'

The guys around him murmured their agreement.

Fox Mulder, or just Mulder, as he preferred to be called, was probably the most popular guy in school. He was captain of the basketball team and had dated most of the cheerleading squad. Mulder had a bit of a reputation for chasing girls, only to dump them after sleeping with them. He seemed, on all accounts a really shallow guy; however, when you're popular you don't really think about such things. And indeed, at this moment, Mulder found he was perfectly content to lounge around in the sun and talk about inconsequential rubbish.

'Hey, man,' replied Mulder's friend Dave Roberts, also on the basketball team. 'You'd never get her!'

Mulder raised his shades and arched an eyebrow at his friend.

'What are you talking about dipshit?' He growled, 'I could have her with my eyes shut!'

'Yeah, but Mulder,' Stacy Chapman piped up. Stacy was Mulder's friend Todd's girlfriend. And although she was hot, she had about as much sense as a rubber band. 'I heard some of the girls talking,' she continued. 'They all think you're a player and they've made a pact never to come near you, cos you keep using them.' Stacy giggled and clacked her lollipop across her teeth.

Mulder grunted with a smirk and lay back down. He had heard of this pact already, but it didn't phase him.

'I don't care if they've made a pact. I still say I could have any girl in school with my eyes shut!' He bragged proudly.

'Ha! You care to make a wager on that one, Cassonovo.' Todd exclaimed, excitedly. Mulder ignored the mispronunciation of Casanova, in favour of grinning widely.

'Care to name the stakes my good man?'

'Well,' said Todd thinking hard, his brow furrowed. 'You have to sleep with a girl of my choice by Christmas.'

Mulder gulped, but held his ground, defiantly. He thought through all of the girls that Todd might force him upon him, with a shudder.

'If you don't manage it, like we all know you won't,' Todd continued, as the rest of the group laughed loudly. 'Then you have to hand your car over.'

There were some loud 'Oooohs' from the rest of the group as everyone turned to gauge Mulder's reaction.

Mulder tried not to let his dissatisfaction show on his face. But dammit, that car was his pride and joy! But Mulder refused to lose face over this; he set his jaw determinedly and nodded before speaking.

'But if I win,' Mulder grinned. 'You pay me 500…and you have to have a huge party for me!'

Todd looked for a moment like he may reconsider, but with a grim smile he stuck his hand out to grasp Mulder's.

'So who's the lucky girl, Todd?' Exclaimed Suzanne.

'Well…let's see….'

The entire group turned to survey the field below them where students were strewn across it, eating their lunch.

'What about Michelle Jenkins,' Rick pointed at the fattest girl in school, sat on her own near the bleachers.

The group laughed. Mulder scowled.

'Or what about Lucy Duncan?' Said Dave, nodding towards a girl with terrible acne and braces who was sat chewing her pencil as she pored over a text book.

There were more laughs and 'ooohs'.

'No,' said Todd, silencing the laughs. He pointed to a pair of girls sat in the centre of the field, laughing. 'Her.'

The group stared.

'Which one?' Murmured Mulder, confused.

'Scully,' replied Todd, a huge smirk on his face.

Dana Scully was not by any means a popular girl. Sure, she had a good group of friends who she loved; but she was never invited out to the big parties and although she got on well with those more popular than herself, she had never spent time with them outside of the classroom.

But then, Dana had no desire to hang with them. She was perfectly happy in her controlled and orderly life. She knew exactly where she was heading in life and she knew exactly how she was going to get there; with hard work and dedication to her dreams.

Dana and her parents dreamed of her going off to medical school and eventually becoming a doctor, and although she was only 17, they were already planning the best possible method of obtaining this dream. Dana was enrolled for interviews at all the top universities in the country. Her grades were constantly top of her class and nobody doubted that she would get exactly where she wanted to be.

'Hey Dana, that guy's staring at you,' whispered Sophie.

Dana craned her neck to see where Sophie was looking. Sure enough Fox Mulder was sat at the bottom of the bleachers on his own, staring right at her. Dana felt a flush heat up her cheeks as he caught her eye and winked.

Turning back to Sophie Dana muttered, 'Why is he just staring like that!'

'I don't know, but, damn is he sexy,' giggled Sophie.

Scully felt really uncomfortable knowing that Mulder was just staring at her.

'Come on Soph, let's go,' she stood up, pulling Sophie up off the floor. 'I don't like being ogled by weirdoes.'

With a frown in Mulder's direction, Scully pulled Sophie back towards the school building.

Mulder watched her go with a smirk on his face, noticing the flush that had risen around her neck. Oh, it was game on.

Tbc.
