Disclaimer - I don't own Mulder or Scully. I don't own the TV show Friends, or any of the Musicians mentioned. Maddie and Project dance are mine. Don't ask just read.
Hey everyone! I'm so sorry this took so long to update. I've been sitting here for the past three weeks not at all sure where to go with this. I have it most of the way figured out now so I hope you all enjoy.
This takes place sometime in the afternoon on day three. Just so no ones lost.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mulder was woken up from a mid-afternoon nap to music. Rather old music at that, it sounded like Motown. He walked down the hall to Maddie's room, apparently the source of the music. The door was open. He peered in and saw the young girl in pink pajamas standing in front of a mirror putting her hair into short pigtails singing.
"Whenever I'm with him ooh ooh, something inside, inside, starts to burn me ooh ohh and I feel with desire, could it be a devil in me or is this the way loves supposed to be? its like a heatwave! A heatwave!" Maddie was singing surprisingly well to the Vandella's Song while she moved her shoulders perfectly to the beat. 'The girl has rhythm' He said as he chuckled softly. Maddie heard this and turned around abruptly in shock.
She blushed violently "Oh my frigging head. Don't scare me like that!"
"Well, well, Agent Madison Daison, hardcore extraordinaire is listening to 60's rhythm and blues. Who would've thought?"
She put a barrette in her hair and regained her dignity. "Well Agent I- assume-everything Fox Mulder" He gave her a look for using his first name "I actually listen to all kinds of music, here look" She tossed her CD book at him, hard.
It hit him in the chest, "Nice throw" He opened it up and flipped through her CD's He saw Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, Mindless Self Indulgence and Marilyn Manson.
"These seem rather Rock like to me"
"Keep looking"
He flipped through the pages some more, a few mix disks, JaRule, Grateful Dead, Phish, Every TLC CD, Billie Holiday, a Rent soundtrack, Godspell and a few mix disks.
"I stand corrected. You've got some good stuff."
"Heh, Thanks. When you have an Ex-Hippie dad and a disco queen mom you become very musically diverse as you grow up I suppose"
Scully entered the room "Getting a lesson on music are we Mulder?"
"Sure am" He smiled
"I need to get dressed so this lessons over." Maddie waved her hands to motion them out.
They left her room and went their separate ways, Scully to the shower and Mulder to the couch. Maddie continued to put on black eye make up and spiked jewelry. She put on miss matched green and black sneakers. Her cut off dickies showed them off, her bondage shirt and red glittery belt added the effect she wanted. 'There goes the neighborhood' she thought to herself.
~-~-~-~ Later that afternoon ~-~-~-~-~
Scully walked into the living room. She saw Mulder napping on the couch. 'He sleeps a lot' she smiled. They had been acting as if the other night had not happened. She knew damn well that it did. She wanted to talk more about it, perhaps make things less awkward. The time would come, she knew it was best to focus on this case and not on her personal life. She noticed her stomach rumbling. It was time to wake him up.
"Mulder, wake up" She said softly
Mulder stirred slightly. He heard her voice, 'Such a great voice' he thought to himself.
"Oh hey Scully what's up?" he sat up.
"Are you hungry?"
"When aren't I"
"Well, we've eaten in for the past two nights. How about we all go out."
"Sounds good, I'll be ready in a sec, go get Maddie" He smiled.
Scully went to Maddie's door and knocked. Maddie said to come in. She opened the door and saw the TV; 'Friends' was on. Maddie was laughing at one of Chandler's jokes. Scully walked in and saw Maddie sitting on the floor. She gawked at her a little. Maddie gawked right back.
"Is there a reason why you're staring at me?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Um, Nothing, your make-up surprised me a bit. Its dark"
She laughed "You sound like my mom. If this doesn't frighten Buena Tierra I don't know what will. Anyway, what's up?"
"Well, I'm not in the mood for pizza and Chinese, so we wanted to go out, are you in?"
"Sure, where to?"
"I don't know, I left that as Mulder's decision "
"Cool," She got up. they left shortly after.
Mulder picked out a Tex-Mex restaurant in Buena Tierra. Upon walking in, the family got many strange looks from the people eating. Maddie decided she wanted to provoke them and stuck out her tongue. A mother and her children pointed. She raised a fist, tempted to give the finger. A hand stopped her.
"Maddie, you don't have to go that far." Scully chided.
"Sorry, I can't stand people like this."
"Be careful though. We still have to protect you if something happens"
"I know. I think I can handle it" The waitress came to the table and they stopped the conversation.
They all placed their orders. Scully got veggie and cheese quesadillas, Mulder got steak fajitas and Maddie got burritos. Regardless of the dirty looks from other customers they had a good time. Mulder cracked cheesy jokes that Scully and Maddie took turns quipping at. They finished their meals and paid the check. It was dark out when they walked through the parking lot.
"I guess we spent more time there than we thought" Scully said as she opened a door.
"It was fun though. I can't believe how freaked out these people get by a little black makeup and miss matched shoes" Maddie laughed "Its getting to be very weird."
"Not weird enough to prove anything though" Mulder sighed. The drive home continued in a comfortable silence. They all had different things on their minds, Scully dozed off for a few seconds here and there. They pulled up into the driveway. They got out of the mini-van. Maddie dropped her cell phone on the ground as she got out. She didn't notice until they got to the front door. Mulder and Scully continued to go in the house as she walked back to the driveway. She bent down and saw her phone under the van. She reached for it. Mulder and Scully heard her scream, and ran to wear she was supposed to be. Panic rose in Mulder's chest as he saw that no one was there.
