Disclaimer: I own nothing, except Renee, and plot (though I'm not entirely sure on the plot ordeal..)

Summary: Ok, since this is an AU, yes, I know, Frohike is about a decade older than everyone else; I am lowering his age, and raising a few others so that they're all about 17/18.

Anyway, what would happen if Mulder, Scully, the LGM, Doggett and Reyes all ended up in the same high school their senior year? Mulder's ideas about the paranormal/supernatural seem less wacky once highly unusual things begin to happen at school. Could a mysterious student (an OC) be at the center of it all? MSR of course, DRR, and a few others here and there.


Chapter One - Another year...

Fox Mulder woke up to his alarm clock sounding and his mother yelling that he would be late if he didn't get up soon. Groaning, he realized that this was it; summer was over and it was time to go back to school. He was relieved that he was finally a senior and almost done, but a bit sad as well. Two years ago he had finally found a group of friends that didn't seem to mind his "spooky" nature, as everyone called it. Ringo Langly, John Byers, and Melvin Frohike were part of it. All were on the newspaper staff and officers in the AV club - in short, they were geeks. Monica Reyes and Renee Knight were the two who had actually pulled the group together, purely by accident though. Renee, though having been at the school for longer than any of them, was surrounded by a veil of mystery. No one knew much about her, save that she was not shy, but intelligent, sometimes snarky, and fun to have around. Reyes was sweet and sunny, also intelligent, and very dedicated to everything that she did. Somehow they all managed to get along, even though Langly didn't seem to like Renee all that much for some reason.

Reluctantly, Mulder rolled out of bed, got dressed and went to start up his car. When he finally got out onto the road , he noticed that he was being tailed by a motorcyclist. She switched lanes and he saw it was Renee. "You're gonna kill yourself on that thing!" he yelled to her at a red light.

Renee's smirk was masked by her helmet. "I've been riding one since I was 14!" She replied. After a moment she said, "Wanna race?"


Monica Reyes was not surprised when Renee came flying into the parking lot with Mulder on her tail. She sighed and shook her head.

"What?" asked Renee innocently as she parked and took off her helmet. Reyes rolled her eyes and was about to reply when Mulder jumped out of his car and bounded over to them.

"You cheated!"

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"How old are we now?" asked Reyes, one eyebrow raised. Renee and Mulder always argued like siblings.

"I am 16, it's that one I'm unsure of," replied Renee, flipping her blonde plait over her shoulder. Renee had been moved up a several grades, explaining how she was with the senior class already. Her silver blue eyes were staring in the distance, over Monica's shoulder. "Dog-unit approaching," she muttered to Mulder.

"Hu – hey!" exclaimed Fox as Renee dragged him to his car. For someone so short (compared to Mulder at least) she was strong. Renee told him to shut up and motioned to where John Doggett had just engaged Reyes in conversation. Mulder sighed, " I can't believe it. Reyes is being taken by the dark side." Doggett was the stereotypical golden boy in their grade. He was popular, never stepped out of line, and was unbelievably skeptical, explaining Mulder's comment.

"He's not that bad. I had to work on a project with him in psychology last semester," shrugged Renee. "He – Damn it, Frohike!" she screeched. Which was understandable seeing as he had just come up behind her, grabbed her, pulling her into a tight bear hug and twirled her around.

"Aw, how'd you know it was me?"

"You're the only person crazy enough to invade her personal space," Mulder snickered.

"True," replied Frohike as Renee tried to wriggle away.

"Let go or else you'll be in a world of hurt, shortie."

"You like it."

Renee scowled. "You're going to grow up to be a dirty old man, and probably a pedofile. I will laugh upon your incarceration."

Frohike laughed. He thought of Renee as a sister, as he did Monica; actually everyone did in their group, except Langly.

Reyes smiled as she noticed her friends a little ways down in the parking lot. Doggett followed her gaze. "I'll catch up to you later then?" Reyes nodded.


First period was Advanced Placement American Government. "A class of LIES," complained Ringo Langly loudly.

"It is not." hissed John Byers.

"Oh God, here we go," muttered Renee and Monica in unison, shaking their heads. Mulder and Frohike could barely contain their laughter. Ignoring them, Langly was continuing his rant. Soon everyone joined in the debate.

"Excuse me," asked a quiet voice from the door. "Is this the AP government class?" Renee, the only one not involved in the debate, turned to see a pretty redhead looking a bit lost.

"Unfortunately," she laughed. "I'm Renee Knight, by the way."

"Dana Scully."

"New?" Asked Renee. Dana nodded. "I'll show you around if you'd like. It's a pretty big campus, I always got lost my freshman year, there's no upstairs or downstairs by the way. This is Monica," Renee said.

Reyes smiled, "Hi."

"And the debating idiots are Langly, Byers, Frohike and Mulder."

"What are they arguing about?"

"The government!" Shouted the boys in unison, looking at the girls.

"Oh, hey there," Mulder grinned sheepishly at Scully.

"She's hot," commented Frohike as though Scully couldn't hear him. Renee rolled her eyes. Eventually the other students filed in and the bell rang. It was a fairly easy period, since it was the first day, Mr. Creaux, the teacher handed out the class's syllabus and went over plans for the year. Near the end of class, Renee basically had Dana's life story. Renee had one of those personalities that made people open up, revealing next to nothing about herself in the process. "That's awful having to move your senior year."

Dana shrugged. "I'm used to it, I guess. I didn't really like the last place we lived."

"Why?" asked Renee.

"I guess... I just didn't fit in well." Mulder glanced at Scully when she said this. He had that feeling more often than not. "Feel free to hang around with us ... as long as you can stand us, that is," he smiled.

"Hu?"

Frohike laughed, "We're the weird kids, well Monica gets along with everyone, and Renee has some kind of anti-social disorder –"

"Do not!"

"Quiet in the corner!" scolded Mr Creaux.

"Government baboon," Langly muttered under his breath.

Dana smiled and leaned back in her desk. It was going to be an eventful year.


Somehow Scully and Renee had every class together except two. They walked along on their way to Anatomy, Renee pointing out various areas to Dana. At random Doggett ran into Renee, almost knocking the girl down.

"Damn! Sorry Renee," he said, steadying her.

"Where's the fire?" asked Renee rubbing her arm.

"In the anatomy room - they found a body."
