Chapter One - Coming Home

Fox Mulder walked back to his flat, finally liberated after his final exam. He'd been at Oxford for two years now and was loving every minute of it - save for the only seeing his close friends and girl friend on holidays part. Today, he was flying back to the U.S. for summer. Finally he'd get to see everyone for more than two weeks!

Mulder fumbled for his key, eventually realizing he'd left it somewhere near the coffee table. Groaning he knocked on the door, praying his room mate was there. The door flew open. "Thanks, I thought I'd be locked out for hours! What happened here?" he asked stepping inside. The flat looked as though a tornado hit it.

Sheepishly, Renee Knight ran a hand through her long gold hair. "I lost my passport." Mulder rolled his eyes then began to help Renee search. The two moved in together the beginning of this year, neither able to handle the dorms. No one suspected anything odd. Everyone at Oxford thought the two were siblings anyway; Renee and Fox did nothing to dissuade this belief. They regarded one another as a sibling anyway. "Found it!" exclaimed Mulder triumphantly; the passport was in the fridge.

At the same time, Renee said, "Found your keys." Mulder's keys had somehow found their way into the fish tank. The past week, Renee and Mulder's organizational skills went down as stress from exams piled up.

"Are you packed?" Mulder asked Renee as they began the tedious process of cleaning.

Renee laughed. "Are you kidding?" She hated packing; she always left it to the last minute possible. In fact, it was especially bad this time, because Langly had recently broken up with her. He said he couldn't handle a long distance thing. Mulder knew, secretly, that Langly just wanted Renee to have someone could be there with her when she needed it. What he didn't know was that Renee only wanted Langly. Mulder sighed. His friends were complicated.


The two boarded the plane headed to Virginia. Renee was off in her own world most of the time, writing song lyrics. Mulder knew she was trying not to stress out about seeing Langly again. He felt bad, but couldn't stifle his excitement. He was finally going to see Scully again! After what seemed like years, the plan finally landed. Mulder and Renee ambulated to baggage claim, when Renee suddenly grinned and pushed him in the opposite direction. "What are you doing?" Renee shrugged and walked away. Mulder felt someone grab him from behind. "Dana!" he exclaimed turning around. Scully grinned and hugged him. Mulder bent down to kiss Scully. Now this was coming home.
