Thank you for the reviews now I'm hoping to give you guys what everyone wanted a little private time for Mulder and Scully.

11.

"Is it a date? Because she is already dating someone you know?"

"I know, and no it's not a date." Mulder responded as Dana's younger brother stood guard at the door.

"Hey Charlie have you seen my…?" A girl stopped her walking as she saw Mulder and Charlie at the door, "hi what's your name?" She approached the front door pushing Charlie out of the way, "I'm Melissa."

"Oh brother." Charlie tried to push her away but she stayed put.

"Um I'm Mulder."

"Oh so you are the great Mulder I hear during the night huh? She said you were cute but she didn't mention you being this cute."

"Eww, Mel go away." Charlie tried to push her away again. "Danes! Hurry up!" he called out.

Bill passed through the hallway and saw the circle around the front door, "Dana! Your boyfriend is here!" Bill announced. Mel and Charlie quickly faced their older brother and he got a better look at him, "Nevermind. It's your other friend, the tall lanky one!"

"Bill!" Melissa scolded by giving him the "eye."

"What? It's true."

Charlie joined his brother as they walked upstairs and Mel stayed behind, "So what are you guys doing today?"

"I dunno, maybe go to the mall or something."

"Well if…" Mel stopped talking when she heard footsteps coming from the second floor.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting Mulder."

Dana apologized as she joined them in the door.

"It's okay." Mulder placed his hands in his pockets and smiled at Melissa, "It was nice meeting you." He walked to his car.

"Dana if you are not going to take him then I will." Melissa whispered in her ear. "He is super hot and seems like a great guy. You know just because your boy is in Russia it doesn't mean that you can't look and "meet" people."

"Are you suggesting to cheat on Alex?"

"In a way… Go Mulder is waiting!" She shoved Dana out of the house. "I'll tell Mom that you went out with your friends."

Mulder was leaning on his car as he watched Dana walking in his direction.

"How is your cheek?" She placed her hand on his cheek and made him turn his face the other way so that she could examine it.

"Are they always like that?"

"Who my brothers and sister?"

"Uh-huh." Mulder opened her door and she got in.

"Yep but imagine how worst Alex gets it." She responded when he got in and turned the car on.

"I can't image." He pulled the car out of the driveway. "So where to?"

"Um, the mall? I need to do some holiday shopping."

"Um okay. Then I guess I should do mine as well."

The mall was not as crowded as they expected, Mulder looked around and saw shoppers looking at their lists and others would hurry with their whining children.

"Where are we going first?" He asked as Dana looked at her shopping list

"Mom wants a new sweater so we should go to…" She scanned the map looking fo r the right place.

"Old Navy." Mulder said as he saw her with the map. "Parents love like Old Navy, well mine do."

"Okay, Where is that?"

"Second Floor."

"Okay, Charlie wants a band t-shirt of Pink Floyd."

"Um... Hot Topic."

"How do-"

"I shop there, well more like go there, for fun."

"Fine, what should I get Mel?"

"…Clothes?"

"Yeah, I guess and since you and Bill have so much in common, what do you think I should get him?"

"We do? I don't know about that…well in that case something the inappropriate section of Spencer's."

"What?"

"You know…sex toys…"

"No! You big pervert!" Scully pushed Mulder playfully.

"I am not!" He said in a sarcastically voice.

"Then why you think that?"

"I dunno… I wanted to see you expression?"

"Funny, no really what should I get him?"

"How to be nice…for dummies."

"You are just so mean." Dana told him as they got off the escalators.

"No, he is the big bully."

"Maybe because he's scared of you."

"Why would he be sacred?"

"He protects me." Dana followed Mulder to the Old Navy store. "Maybe he is afraid that your might hurt me?"

"…Yeah?"

"Yeah, wouldn't you?"

"What? hurt you? Never." Mulder looked a Dana.

"No, I mean your sister, would you be afraid of her getting hurt?"

"I always am.'

"You hungry?" Mulder asked as they finally got to the food court

"Yes, all this shopping get's me hungry."

"Good then what you want to eat?"

"Um… there are so many choices… how about the Japanese, is that good?"

"Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. Come on."

After Mulder and Scully ordered their food and searched for a place to sit the two of them began to eat and talk about random before Christmas incidents.

"I know this is out of subject and random but… is there any way for you to like me?"

"But I already liked you."

"More than a friend?"

"Mulder…um…" Scully tried to search for words but nothing would come out.

"Can you give me a chance? I mean Krycek is not here." I know its cheating but we can keep it a secret. I won't tell if you don't."

"Mulder… I don't know if-"

"Please."

"What are you planning to get out of it?"

"Scully, if it wasn't for Diana I would of asked you out before Alex had a chance"

"Mulder… Listen."

"Just till he get's here, I want to know, to feel, to–to…" Mulder stood up and looked at Dana and quickly yet softly brushed his lips against hers.

Fox Mulder's and Dana Scully's world stopped… the surrounding commotion disappeared and their connection could not be interrupted by anything. No earthquake or tornado could separate them. Not right now, no, not this moment.
