This is my first X-Files fanfic so don't be too rough on me. I've been watching the show for a long time now, I got this idea and decided to develop it. Scully is a bit out of character.
I imagined Sara Rue playing Candy.
Mulder was late for work. He woke up when she called him. She walked out of the elevator. She knocked on Mulder's door. She waited few minutes but there was no response. "Mulder? I'm using my key." Scully took the corresponding key and opened the door. She closed the door behind her and started walking to his bedroom, when she heard a knock on the door. She furrowed her brow and turned around to look through the peep hole. It was a woman, late 20's early 30's, longish auburn hair. Darker than hers. She opened the door and smiled at the woman. She wore a pair of yoga pants and a braless tank top. "Hi" Scully greeted. "Hi, I'm Candy from next door," she pointed to Phillip Padgett's former apartment. "Is Fox here?" Scully was about to tell her she didn't know but Mulder appeared at her side. He was buttoning his shirt and his tie was undone. "Hey Candy. What's up?" He asked at Scully's side. "I was wondering if you could give me a cup of ground coffee?" she offered the container she had in her hand. "Sure. Of course." Mulder took the cup and handed it to Scully. "Pour her some coffee there." Scully caught his drift. She nodded and went to his kitchen. She filled the cup and walked back to the door. Mulder was leaning on one side of the doorway. Scully ducked under his arm and handed Candy the container. They smiled at each other. "Thank you. I won't be taking any more of your time." She smiled at them. She looked at Mulder. "Bye Fox." She walked to her door. Mulder followed her with his eyes.
"Come on, Mulder. We have a meeting with Skinner at 9." She pulled him inside by the arm and closed the door. Mulder had a smile painted on his face. He looked at his chest to tie his tie. "Mulder..." Scully began. He looked at her. "Do you have a crush on the girl next door?" She asked teasing him, a smirk on her face. "Scully..." He laughed. "Don't try to pretend. You made it pretty obvious." Scully smiled and straightened his tie on his shirt. "Well, the attraction is there. I won't say no. I think its mutual too." Mulder pointed out and got his suit jacket on. "Now, let's go. Or Skin-man will bite our heads off."
They headed to the Bureau building where they met up with Skinner in his office. They arrived in time, with a few minutes to spare. They entered the office, he handed them a file and then dismissed them. He had a new case for them. "Well that was fast." Scully said as she made her way down the stairs to the basement behind Mulder. He unlocked the door and they entered. Scully sat in one of the chairs in front of the desk. They discussed the file Skinner had given them. Scully thanked the Gods that the case was in Virginia. They didn't have to fly out somewhere to find dead ends.
"This is just another case of entity rape." Mulder tosses the case on the desk. "Dead end." Mulder sat behind his desk. "It wouldn't hurt checking it out. Hear the woman's story." He gave it thought for a few minutes then nodded. He walked to the coat hanger and got their coats. "Come on." They headed out to meet with the victim. It was a 20-minute drive to her house. They knocked on her door and flashed their badges. She let them in and they talked about the attack. "Thank you, Miss Alberta. We'll keep in touch." Scully stood and Mulder followed. They got in the car. Mulder looked at her. "I have to agree with you on this one. It's a dead end." Mulder nodded. "I want to say 'I told you so' but I don't." he turned the car on and headed to the office. Scully went upstairs and handed Skinner the file with their findings and conclusion. When she opened the door of the basement, Mulder was talking on the phone. Scully placed a hand over her mouth and sat in one of the chairs. "Thank you, Candy. I'll see you around." He hung up and looked at Scully. "She dialed to the office? You gave her your business card?" She asked almost laughing. "Yes. When she introduced herself, I did the same and gave her my card." Scully nodded.
For the rest of the day, Scully continued to annoy him. Scully looked at her wrist watch. "Mulder, I'm heading home." She took her coat. "Yeah, let me grab some files." She nodded and walked out the door. He grabbed his coat and the files and locked the office behind him. She gave him a lift to his apartment and then headed home.
I don't own anything. Mulder, Scully and Skinner are property of Chris Carter and 1013 productions.
