A/N: Have fun reading! Jory and Joey might sound a bit older than they really are, but really, they're eight years old! Grade 3! So I guess I have my little eight year old cousin, Natasha, to thank, too. At least I know that real eight-year-olds are extremely hyper children. *_*

"Come on children, follow me. We'll be taking the elevator now, so I want you guys to hold hands with your partner. Come on."

The third grade class of Gage Eckington Elementary School were on a field trip at the FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. All the children were fascinated, especially when they passed real FBI agents, with guns strapped to their waists.

"Whoa, look at that gun!"

"Real FBI agents!"

"FBI!"

"Mrs. Hamel? Will we see the dead people room?" Joran Tillyer asked, running forward so he was right behind his teacher.

"No, Joran, we will not be going to the morgue. I don't even know if there's a morgue here," the grey-haired teacher answered half-heartedly. "Where's your partner?"

"My sister's talking to her friends." He instantly jumped into another question: "So will we get to see the X-Files, Mrs. Hamel?"

Mrs. Hamel looked down at the green-eyed, brown-haired trouble maker in her class and sighed. "Why don't you go ask our tour guide?"

The African-American lady who was leading the group around (Kirsty) smiled at Joran. "No, the Paranormal Division is not part of the tour, I'm sorry. But we'll be going to the cafeteria where you'll see lots of FBI agents!"

Joran raised one eyebrow and shuffled back next to his twin sister. "I think that woman thinks I'm retarded," he mumbled, frowning. "There are lots of FBI agents around here. You don't see me going nuts…"

Jocelyn, also known as Joey to all her friends, grinned. "You ARE retarded, Jory."

"Shut up. This is BORING, Joss! I want to see the real thing!" They were now squished into the elevator, riding up to the offices. "Let's ditch them and go tour the place alone!" he declared as soon as everybody started getting off the elevator. Jory held his sister back, and as soon as everybody stepped off he elevator, the metal doors closed with a clink. Without waiting a minute or asking his sister where to go, he tiptoed and clicked the button to the basement.

"Joran! Where are we going?" Joey asked as they descended into the bowels of the building. Her heart was hammering beneath her ribcage from the fear and excitement of it all.

Her brother gave her a bewildered look. "Where else?"

"The Paranormal Division?"

Jory nodded, absolutely glowing with happiness.

As soon as the elevator doors popped open, he hopped out and glanced right, and then left before wandering into the depths of the. It was darker than he thought it would be, but his eyes were wide with anticipation of meeting his idol - Special Agent Fox Mulder. The kid had heard about this particular agent through the news several years ago, and had been trying hard (though not really succeeding) to follow the man's career. Little green men and UFOs was Joran Tillyer's thing, too.

Jocelyn Tillyer was another deal. Although she was only a minute younger than her brother, Joey was ten times more mature and down to earth. They were definitely the split image of each other, although she had a more heart-shaped face, slightly higher cheekbones, and longer hair. They also had the same love for getting into trouble, exactly what they were in now.

The twins had stopped and were contemplating their next move when a female voice stopped them in their tracks.

"Hey! What are you two kids doing down here?"

Jory grabbed his sister's hand and the two of them ran for it, twisting through shelves with portfolios on them and stuff stacked on the ground. Their chase was cut short though, when Joran ran right into a pair of legs in dress pants, and bounced off of them and into Jocelyn. Synchronized "oofs" and "ows" could be heard as they hit the ground, arms and legs tangled together.

"Whoa! Are you two okay?"

Both kids froze and looked up at the "wall" they bounced off of - Joey was quiet because she knew they were both in deep trouble, and Jory had his mouth opened in awe. The sound of high heels rushing towards them startled them into movement again and both of them stood up at once and hid ran to hide behind the 6' tall agent.

"Mulder! Did you see two kids…?" she asked in between breaths.

Agent Fox Mulder stepped aside and grinned. "You mean these two, Scully?"

Jory and Joey looked at each other and then up at the two agents. They posed the question at the same time: "Are we in trouble?"
