Notes: Okay this idea popped in my head
one day and I decided that it would be really really interesting if this did
happen. I'm not to sure about the age
differences except that Mulder is about two or three years older than Scully. As for D&R I have no clue how old they
are. Also the settings are made up
unless they really do exist but I don't know that. Oh and the Fowl one is in this long story. I know that people wouldn't want to hear me
ramble but I happen to not have gone to high school yet so I'm going to be a
little off about tons of things. Not to
mention the way people dress as to seeing I go to a Jr. High school with
uniforms. -_-;

PyroAngel because you are such a kewl person and my beta reader, ah you know
what I mean. ^_^
Chapter 1:
Back2School
There was a lot of excitement in the
air as the herds of students were all around Redwing High School. All the students from previous years got
into there little groups, while the new freshmen were either trying to find
their way or one of their friends. For
Dana Scully and her older sister Melissa this was new territory.
Dana's family was always moving from
place to place because her father was in the military. Since she was always moving Dana didn't get
too attached to anyone anymore really.
Though she would be in the small city of Hawkins till she graduated from
high school. Being a teenager and a
fifteen year old one too, she thought maybe she might just get attached to a
guy; hey this was the nineties or at least 1999. Well she thought to herself at least Melissa would be going here
too, even if she would be going off to college after graduation next year. At least Bill wasn't home; otherwise she
might never get the chance to have a boyfriend, and their younger brother Charlie
was just beginning Jr. High. Both the
two Scully girls walked to the office to see what homeroom they were in and
what their schedule would be.
Dana
and Melissa were very different so it could be easy for one to figure out who
was the older sister. Dana was well…
short than Melissa and her hair was shoulder length and straight. Where as Melissa was tall, and her auburn
hair came past her shoulders in a wavy style.
There was also the way that they dressed, Dana more conserved, and
Melissa wearing her New Ager style jewelry and crystals. The main thing they both had in common,
which most people could tell they were sisters by was their red hair.
As Dana looked around her there were
all types of groups of teens all over the place there were; the preps, the
Goths, loners, nerds, drama students, a group that looked like Melissa should
be a part of, net-heads, and more.
While looking around her she bumped her head against someone.
"Hey!
You should watch where your going otherwise you may knock someone down."
said the someone preferably male. With
that Dana looked up at the guy whom she bumped into. He was about a foot or so taller than her, hair a brown sort of
mess, and deep hazel eyes. It was her
guess that he was possibly a senior.
For a mere second they just kinda "gazed" at one another when another
guy behind the guy said, "Hey Mulder are you going to get moving or will I have
to drag you to go see Diana?"
Dana then looked behind the guy called
"Mulder", to see a brown spike haired guy with blue eyes. As she studied the two to see that both were
really, really differently dressed, "Mulder" was wearing a black t-shirt that
had a gray alien in it and on the back it said, "I want to believe" with some
well-worn jeans. Whereas his friend was
wearing a navy turtleneck and khakis.
Though she couldn't complain about clothes since she was in a simple
green tee with long sleeves and her favorite jeans. Not to mention she was new to the school, and her apparently her
sister had taken off. So she just stood
there almost going into a daze when someone tapped her shoulder.
"Hi, you must be new here otherwise I
don't think that you'd be talking to these two that much," said the person who
tapped her. Dana slowly turned her head
and saw that it was a girl with really dark straight shoulder length hair, and
blue eyes in a darker shade than hers.
The girl smiled and said, "Hey I'm Monica Reyes, a sophomore, I think
that you must also be one too. Well I
came here in the middle of last year so I know what it's like to be new. How 'bout I show you around after you find
out your schedule of course."
"Umm… sure, that'd be great, wow I
didn't think that anyone would know I'm a sophomore. Well because of obvious reasons.
I'm Dana Scully." As the two
were shaking their hands the guys hurried off on their way. Now she thought to herself that coming to
this new school wouldn't be so bad or nerve racking. She had already made a new friend.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back to school, the three words that
Fox Mulder hated to hear. Not only did
it mean more homework; but that he would have to slow down back into his usual
self, more of a loner. Well at least he
wasn't alone, last year he had made a friend with John Doggett, and he still
had his three Internet friends who called themselves "the lone gunmen". He also had Diana, she wasn't the best
person sometimes but she knew about his past, which also helped him during some
of the tough times. Mulder also knew a
little bit about a sophomore named Monica Reyes, who somehow knew John, but he
wouldn't say how they knew each other.
So just assumed that they must have met on the Internet?
"Fox," called a cheerful Diana
Fowley. Fox… it was his name but he
didn't like it much. What kind of
parents would name their kid Fox? So he
usually had everyone call him "Mulder".
The only people who only called him by his first name were some of the
teachers, Diana, and his mother.
Diana was tall, not as tall as Mulder,
but tall enough. Her brown hair fell at
her shoulders and her dark eyes looked as if they hid some secrets within
them. Upon first seeing Diana people
either thought she was possibly prep, or a slut, depending on the person. She had this personality that most people
didn't quite know if to trust or not.
Though Mulder didn't really see her faults at all. In fact he was quite blind to them.
"So Fox, how 'bout you and me get
together tonight? Hmm… why don't we go
see a movie?" she almost purred, in a slight way.
"I don't think tonight would be that
great Diana. I mean today's the first
day of school, I mean we might get homework or something might come up. How's Friday then?" said an almost defensive
Mulder.
"That's what I meant silly,"
BRING… BRING…
At that moment Mulder was really
grateful that the bell rang otherwise he didn't quite feel to good about the
conversation Diana was leading. Well
off to homeroom, earlier that week all usual students from last year and the
freshmen had all gotten their schedule in the mail. Though a few unfortunate souls and new students to the school had
to go to the office if they didn't get their schedule. Sometimes he felt bad for them.
His
homeroom was with Mr. Frankson, who was also his History teacher. It was well known with many seniors who had
him that this class would be hard to pass.
At the very least John had him for homeroom and the same class period as
Mulder. He was beginning to like this
year already, yeah right.
Mulder
just couldn't wait till basketball season would begin. It was well known among the students that he
was one of the team's best players.
Many were betting he'd be one of the first to try out this year. He also couldn't wait for a lot of other
things; maybe a few might help him get his mind off of Sam so much.
When
he was twelve years old Mulder's sister Samantha had been abducted without a
trace. He had witnessed it, yet he
couldn't quite explain what happened.
Being a "Sci-Fi Freak" he had believed it to be aliens, but he wasn't
quite sure. All he knew is that it tore
his family apart, his mom was extremely devastated, so was his father and poor
Fox felt that it was all, his fault.
Now they pretty much ignored him.
If only he had protected her that night, so now in his spare time when
he had it, it was spent trying to find her.
Or at least what happened that night.
So here he was just sitting at his desk dazing off into space wondering
what Sam would look like now if she were there.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
John Doggett was an average guy, with
spiked brown hair and nice blue eyes.
Yet he found it amazing to believe that his best friend was a guy whom
people often called "Spooky". He had
become friends with Fox Mulder awhile after he moved to Hawkins, which was in
the middle of nowhere in West Virginia.
It was almost amazing that his old childhood friend Monica Reyes would
also come to this school too. Maybe it
was that fate thing that she always talked about or something like that, but he
didn't believe in that kind of senseless nonsense. Which had brought him back to the thought of having "Spooky
Mulder" as his best friend.
He felt good to see Monica again. It had been so long since she moved and the
two used to be the best of friends. Yet
they were only the best of friends for three years and two months, they had
been pretty close for an eleven year old and a nine year old could be. Then suddenly her dad had gotten some job
offer in New Orleans and that was the last he heard.
Until
that nice day in January when she had crashed into him because she was in such
a rush to get to class. Some how she
recognized his face then in a small whisper she said, "John, is that you?" Before he had said anything she dashed off
leaving him late and a bit speechless.
Later at lunch he tracked her down and they chatted a little and caught
up. He didn't tell Mulder how he knew
Monica. So Mulder was basically had his
mouth open when she just came up and started chatting away, he probably was
wondering about them or how they knew one another.
It
wasn't as if John was a loser or loner, he had made friends with the other
guys. Though for some reason he was
slightly drawn into Mulder's "quest" just a little. He didn't believe that she was really taken by aliens. They were real they couldn't be, and he was
very much a skeptic too. So every now
and then he and Mulder wouldn't get along at all. Yet it kept coming back to him how understanding the guy could
get. No matter how unbelievable a story
or someone could be he would always believe in them or acknowledge the possibility
of it. With that trait, John wanted to
be on good terms and become friends with him.
"I
wish that this damn period would end",
he thought to himself as he was listening to his English teacher, Mr. Pearson;
drone on and on and on. It was fourth
period, and next would be lunch. Thank
god they had a whole hour for it.
Slowly he glanced to see what Mulder was doing. He had to look a little far because they
were both at the far side of the room.
Spooky was actually looking like he was really paying attention to Mr.
Pearson's droning!
"Man
Mulder really knows how to act." He thought to himself just as the bell
rang. Thank god for that! All the students piled out into the hall and
dashed off to lunch. John and Mulder
usually ate with a couple other guys, whom John knew and were his other
friends. Sometimes Diana would come by
with her group of yes girls following right behind her. Though today he saw Monica and that short
redheaded girl that crashed into Mulder earlier.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Perfect timing, thought the
dark haired cutie as she and her new friend were heading toward the guys with
some form of lunch in their hands.
Right now at lunch she would properly introduce Dana to the guys. During most of the day much to her surprise
the petite redhead was in most of her classes and both were becoming great
friends on the first day that they met!
Dana was a "navy brat" and was used to
moving around, and as she guessed that Dana also didn't attach herself to too
many people because of this. Though
this didn't matter much to Monica because she was also a little used to the
idea of moving from place to place. So
the two got along pretty well, though Dana wasn't much of a believer and Monica
was. Even if she couldn't pin point it,
she knew that they were supposed to have become friends.
Monica was very open to a lot of
things, which made her a sort of New Ager.
Also by her surprise Dana's sister, Melissa was also one. Sometimes Monica would get visions or
premonitions that she didn't quite get but she knew eventually she would. Now she felt that someday in the future,
when they had moved on, she would bump into Dana again. She also felt this about Mulder too. As for John she felt that something stronger
would happen.
One thing she didn't really feel like
admitting to anyone was that she liked John a whole lot more than was
noticeable. Yes, they had known each
other before moving to Hawkins and both were the best of friends at one point
back then. Though that was quite some
time ago and she wasn't sure how he felt about her. If he didn't feel that way about her she wasn't ready to think
what would happen afterwards. That
whole thing seemed like it would happen to someone else too, not just her, but
she couldn't pinpoint that either.
"Hey Monica, aren't those the guys
from earlier?" asked Dana in calm tone.
"Yea, I want to introduce you to
them. One of them is an old friend of
mine," she replied coolly. She saw John
a tad surprised that they were coming for lunch. When the fact remained that she was a sophomore and he was a
senior and he probably shouldn't be around her too much. So most of the time Monica just sat with
some other girls from some of her other classes. Stopping so that she was close enough to be talking to them she
said, "John, Mulder… I'd like you to meet Dana Scully, she's new and I thought
why not introduce her to my two favorite guys."
Monica introduced her to John first of
course and Mulder who wasn't paying much attention, finally looked up at Dana.
"Hi, oh you're that girl who crashed
into me this morning. My name's
Mulder." Dana heard his name and raised
an eyebrow at such a strange name for a guy.
He saw her reaction too and stated, "Actually the first name's Fox but I
like being called Mulder."
"Oh it's nice to finally know your
name Mulder," Dana said with a calm, coolness in her voice, and then added,
"I'm Dana Scully as Monica said earlier."
The two looked at
her and she thought quietly to herself.
"Man this year's going to be
funnier than I thought"…
