A/N: Hey guys. The part, (like part 23 ) is a little descriptive with the act of taking off clothes. There is no sexy description other than that, but I suggest there should be 'R' eyes, all right? I am not your momma, so I suggest you be responsible.
Oh… and no I do not own these characters, I am just borrowing them for a little bit o fun. However… Heather and Jason are all mine!

Part 21
10:00am
The four of them woke up an hour and a half later, discovering that the rain had stopped. Mulder stood up, putting his hand down so he could help Scully up. He noticed then that she was still favoring her left leg.
"Hurt?" Mulder asked softly, his eyes regarding her ankle.
"A little." Scully said softly. "I am fine. "
"Uh huh." He said softly as he pulled her to him, giving her a long passionate kiss before Heather and Jason woke up, not wanting to deal with their jealousy.
"My my Mister Mulder." She teased, ever so innocently. "Do you kiss other women like that?"
"Oh no…" Mulder said, a teasing twinkle showing in his eyes. "Just one. "
"Well, that's good to know…" She said as she heard Jason and Heather start to rouse from their sleep. "What are we going to do about those two?" She whispered so she wouldn't be heard.
"We'll talk to them, once we get to the river bottom. " Mulder said softly. " I think they all ready know, but talking would help."
Scully nodded as she saw that Jason was standing, stretching.
Mulder gave Scully's hand a squeeze as he walked toward Jason to tell him to wake up Heather and that they were going to hike down to the river bottom.
"Okay then." Jason said when Mulder told him this. Jason was very distant with him, Mulder knew the exact reason: Scully.
Jason walked over to where Heather was and woke her up, hearing her grumbling ever so slightly.
The foursome then started on their hike, hoping to make it to the river bottom before nightfall. The rain had stopped, but now they had to be careful of the slippery mud traps that the Columbian jungle was famous for.
While Mulder, Scully, Heather and Jason walked; Mulder took hold of Scully's hand, not caring if Jason or Heather saw. She was his damn it, and there was no way in hell Jason or Heather was going to change that. He fell in love with her from the first moment that he laid his eyes on her. Now, he was going to show it while he could and no one was going to stop him from doing that.
Scully smiled when she felt his hand in hers. She liked this new side of Mulder: the romantic side that she thought she would never experience. The moment that she left his apartment two years ago, she regretted it. But she knew that she would probably reassigned, and she couldn't deal with that. Now being lost in the jungle with Mulder, her regrets were only down to one: leaving him. She could see that Heather was not the right partner for him and that she hadn't taken care of Mulder like Scully would have. She could see that Heather was only interested in Mulder himself, not the cases that they were working on.
And that bugged her.
She appreciated that heather was there, not leaving Mulder alone in the basement, faced with his demons alone. She just wanted him to be taken care of… like she had done for him. And she could clearly see that Heather hadn't been doing her job.
12:00pm
Two hours had passed since they had started on their hike and the humidity was getting to them. Mulder had rolled up his shirtsleeves and unbuttoned his shirt, to hopefully get a cool breeze while Jason did the same. Mulder knew that they were going in the right direction, but he was tired, and he wanted to get there as soon as he could.
"Why don't we stop and rest." Scully suggested, seeing Mulder's tired eyes. She smiled at him as he looked at her, thinking her with his eyes.
All agreeing, they stopped.
"Watch out for poison ivy." Mulder said as Jason and Heather disappeared in the jungle looking for berries. "That's all we would need. "
Scully laughed as she sat down next to Mulder, who was leaning against a tree trunk. He slipped his arm around her then, bringing her closer to him.
"So are we making good time oh great Indian Guide?" Scully asked, an innocent smile forming on her lips.
"You know me to well, Red." Mulder said, laughing. "I just might have to keep you."
"Oh…" Scully said with mock worry in her voice. "I was so worried about that. "
"Liar." Mulder said as he collided his lips with hers.
"May-be" Scully said as she moved herself so she was sitting in Mulder's lap.
"Oooh." Mulder cooed as he kissed her again.
They both didn't see Heather standing behind them with berries in her hand. They also didn't notice her run back into the jungle, crying.
End, part 21
Part 22
12:30 pm
It had been at least 15 minutes since they had stopped to rest. Mulder sighed, with Scully still on his lap, was not looking forward to getting up again. But the sooner they got moving, the sooner he could have Scully in his arms again.
"C'mon baby." Mulder said softly in Scully's ear. "We gotta get moving again."
Scully nodded, smiling at the endearment. "Baby, huh?"
"Yeah." Mulder said, as Scully scooted off Mulder's lap. "Whatcha gonna do about it?"
"Nothing." Scully said licking her lips. "I like it."
"Good." Mulder said, kissing her before standing up to his full height. "Lets get movin' then, shall we?"
Scully nodded as Mulder went in search of Jason, while she looked for Heather.
"Heather!" She called out as she went in the same direction that Mulder was going in.
Mulder had spotted Jason and told him that they were leaving.
Scully, on the other hand was having a tough time at finding Heather. Scully sighed, still persistent at finding her, keeping her eyes peeled. A few minutes later, Scully found Heather, sitting alone with her knees to her chest, with her head tilted toward the ground.
"Heather." Scully said as she walked to her.
"What do you want?" Heather said sharply.
"We're leaving." Scully said, matching her tone. She began to turn away, walking toward the tree that she and Mulder were leaning against.
"I would have had him, if he hadn't got shot, you know." Heather said haughtily.
Scully stopped, dead in her tracks and turned around, looking at Heather, her eyes blazing. "Oh really?" Scully said, raising an eyebrow. "Somehow, I think not. You are to young for a man like him."
"We were… involved." Heather said, folding her arms.
"In your dreams Heather." Scully said.
"What makes you so sure?" Heather said, walking to her, Scully coming up to her shoulder.
Scully sighed, annoyed. "I will only explain this once." Scully said fiercely. " Mulder… is mine, you got that? I love him; he loves me. It's as simple as that. He is not yours to have. If I even see you bat your eyelashes at him… you will deal with me. Got that?"
Heather nodded, a smug look on her face.
"C'mon now. Mulder and Jason are waiting for us."
Mulder could see that Scully was… pissed when she returned with Heather a few moments later.
Whats the matter, baby?" Mulder asked her as they started hiking again.
Being that Jason and Heather were behind them, Scully retold what Heather said to her quietly, so she could not hear.
"You did what?" Mulder said, laughing.
"Hey, no one messes with my love, Mulder."
"I like this new side of you that I'm seeing. " Mulder said, as he took her hand in his.
By sundown they had reached the river bottom and were preparing to make camp. Jason and Mulder were searching for food, while Heather and Scully started a fire.
"Are you going to try that bullet trick again, Scully?" Mulder asked as he waggled his eyebrows.
"I am going to try the good ole Indian guide way first." Scully said, giving him a toothy grin. "I don't want to waste bullets. You don't have many in that clip Mulder, and no one else here is armed. "
Mulder nodded, agreeing with her.
---
"Watch out Heather." Scully hissed as she got a fire started some 10 minutes later.
Heather moved back as Mulder said, "Hey, how'd you do that? I couldn't even do that when I was an Indian Guide."
"Woman power." Scully said, as Mulder and Jason laughed.
"Oh really?" Mulder said.
"Yup" Scully said "Woman power all the way."
The foursome had searched for food, only finding such things as bananas and berries worth eating. After eating, they all decided that they would bathe in the lake--- in shifts of course. Mulder and Jason let Scully and Heather bathe first, Mulder fighting the urge to bathe with her. He wanted to badly, but he didn't want an audience either. While they bathed, Mulder and Jason cleaned camp and tried to get along.
**
Scully and Heather were on opposite ends of the lake, Heather's choice. They bathed in silence, loving the feel of the cold water on their body. Scully closed her eyes as she went under water to wet her hair, not noticing someone lurking underneath. Not wanting to wait, he went up for air, pulling Scully up with him by the hair.
"Remember me dearie?" he said as Scully fought to breathe.
"Orion…." Scully growled. "Of course I do. What the hell do you want?"
"I told you. " Orion said. "I have to kill you."
The hell you will…." Scully said.
Before she could say anymore, Orion pushed her underwater, wanting her to drown.
END, PART 22
Part 23
While Scully was bathing, Mulder had kept a close eye on her. When he had seen her being held by the hair, he rushed to her side, wearing his heart on his sleeve.
"What the fu-" Mulder said, swimming towards Scully and Orion.
"If you come any closer; I'll kill her." Orion said, a gun magically appearing in his free hand.
"Oh shit."
"That's right." Orion said gripping the gun. "I am in charge here."
Mulder backed of a little, meeting Scully's gaze.
"Now, I am supposed to kill you too, but somehow I think if I kill her first… your heart will be shattered."
"If you lay one hand on her I'll-" Mulder started.
"Ah, ah ah." Orion said pointing the gun to her head. "You don't want to blow it now do you?"
"Of course not." Mulder said, worry showing in his voice.
"Wise thinking there, Mulder." Orion said, releasing his hold on her. "Stay." He then said to Scully. "I want to look at you." His eyes traveled down her body, taking in the sight of her wet dress sticking to her body. He licked his lips, liking what he saw. "My my." He said. "Aren't you pretty?"
Mulder fought the urge to tackle Orion, but he also thought that he would put Scully in more danger. Thinking, Mulder put his hand in the water, hoping to find something to hit Orion with.
Turning to look at Mulder, Orion asked, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Washing my hands." Mulder said. "They're dirty."
Orion turned back his attention to Scully, not realizing that Mulder had found a rock to hit him with. Just as Orion was going to force Scully into a kiss, Mulder threw the rock at Orion, hitting him on the head and causing him to fall back into the water.
"No one kisses Scully but me" He said as Scully quickly walked toward him with Orion's gun in hand.
"We need to get out of here before he comes to." Scully said, leading Mulder to the edge of the water where Heather and Jason were waiting for them.
"Thanks for the help guys." He mumbled to himself as he put his arm around Scully. "Are you all right?" He asked.
"I'm-" Scully started.
"Fine, I know." Mulder said, lowering his head to meet her face to face. "But I'm not."
"Don't start, Mulder." Scully said as the foursome began walking.
"I know you know why Scully." Mulder said, now, taking her hand in his.
"I do Mulder, I do." Scully said. "How about we start running?"
"Good idea." Mulder said. "Is your ankle okay?"
"For now." Scully said as she started to run.
"Lets go a little faster." Jason said. "He is waking up."
"Oh shit." Mulder said as he guided Scully ahead of them.
The four of them started to run at a fast pace, with Scully at the head of the line. Mulder and Scully could not hear the grumbles from Heather and the jealousy remarks from Jason. All was going well until Scully slipped on the mud and started sliding down the jungle.
"SSHHHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTT!" Scully yelled as she started to slide.
Mulder quickly slid down the mudslide after her. The sliding seemed endless, until Scully reached the bottom and fell into a pool of mud.
"Uuuuuh" Scully said getting the mud off her face, and noticing that Mulder was in the pool of mud with her. "You okay Mulder?" Scully asked when she saw him.
"Yeah, baby, are you?"
Scully smiled at the endearment. "Yeah. I feel like swine though."
Mulder laughed as he pulled he and Scully to their feet. He wiped the mud off his face and kissed her. Hard. "Can't let you get too far away from me." Mulder said as he waved to Heather and Jason.
"You okay?" Jason yelled.
"Yeah we're fine." Mulder yelled back.
"Move back, we're going to slide down." Jason yelled. "Its best if we are not separated."
"All right." Mulder yelled back as he moved he and Scully back a bit.
As he watched Jason and Heather slide down the mudslide, he secretly wished that he and Scully were the only ones on this Columbian journey.
"Are you guys okay?" Scully asked Jason and Heather when they were all in the pool.
"Yeah." Heather said.
"Yup." Jason answered, smiling at Scully.
"We need to find some shelter." Mulder said. "It's starting to rain again."
The four of them started to search for shelter. The rain was becoming fiercer, pouring down so hard that it was difficult to see. Mulder pulled Scully to him as he noticed a cave in the distance.
"Over there." He said, lifting his arm to point in the direction that he was referring. Once in the cave, Mulder and Jason went in search of wood while Heather and Scully were told to stay put.
"Aaachooo!" Scully sneezed when Mulder and Jason returned with armloads of firewood.
"Scully, you need to get out of your clothes." Mulder said. "We all do; we have been wearing them for hours. We could get sick."
Scully nodded. "You're right. Lets get the fire started first."
Being that they had another gun and a full clip, Scully preformed the "bullet trick" once again, amazing Mulder even more and causing Jason to fight the urge to ask questions.
"That's two for two." Mulder said smiling at her. "You never cease to amaze me."
Scully laughed as she moved in closer to kiss him.
"Lets be adult about this." Mulder said to Jason and Heather. "It's getting cold out there because of the rain. Now we are all muddy and need to give our clothes a chance to dry, and for us to get warm. "
The four of them had decided that Mulder and Scully would stay on one side of the fire and Heather and Jason would be on the other. Mulder smiled then, as Scully walked toward him after talking to Jason and Heather.
"Are they okay with it?" Mulder asked.
"Yeah." Scully said, peeking back at them, seeing them disrobe. "They have no…ah…ahhh…. Choo!"
"That's it." Mulder said softly. "Clothes off. Now."
Scully smiled as she sniffled. "Same goes for you mister."
Mulder moved closer to Scully, so there was no space in between their bodies. Scully started to bring down the straps of her dress, but Mulder stopped her.
"Let me." He said softly so she could only hear.
Scully stood before him, letting Mulder undress her. His touch was warm, his breath, hot on her neck. There was nothing more that he wanted right now than to love her: But not this way. Not when they were on the brink of danger, not when there were two other people in the same room as them. He wanted their first time together to be special. Mulder smiled now as he unclasped her bra, took off her panties. Now, she was naked before him. He knew she wanted him. And be damned if he didn't want her right this minute too.
To bury his want, Mulder collided his lips with hers, giving her all the fire, all the passion, the love that he had within himself. This kiss was indeed breathtaking. Never before had he given a woman a kiss so intense. Not even Diana, the woman he though held his heart in his hands.
Scully started to undress Mulder, her mouth still on his. She loosened the belt on his jeans, and unsnapped the button. Her fingers then slowly brought down the zipper, causing Mulder's erection to come to life through his boxers. With Mulder's help, Scully peeled the wet jeans off his lean muscular legs, thus landing in a pool at Mulder's feet.
"Damn…" Mulder said as he broke this kiss. "I want you…"
"Then take me…" Scully said breathlessly as she watched Mulder step out of his jeans.
"Not here." Mulder said quietly. "Not in this cave. Not when we have an audience."
Scully nodded in agreement. "You're not undressed yet though." Scully then started to slowly pull down Mulder's blue boxers ever so slowly; thus causing Mulder to hide a groan.
"You are so mean…" Mulder whined softly.
"You're just lucky I don't shoot you." Scully winked.
Mulder laughed softly. "Been there, done that."
"Hold me?" Scully asked as she started lifting his shirt off his torso.
Mulder took hold of his shirt and peeled it off his body. He layed it on the floor next to his clothes.
"There will be no other way…" Mulder said as he led Scully towards the fire. "It just rained sleeping bags."
Scully laughed as she said, "Then you are one lucky guy." and moved closer to Mulder to settle in for the night.

Part 24
Columbian Jungle
Next Day
9:00 am
Mulder woke to find a naked Scully curled up in his arms. "If only we were alone." He thought to himself as he collided his lips with hers. He had to wake her up somehow. He could feel her body come to life as he deepened the kiss. When she was fully awake she hungrily kissed him back, with everything in her.
"Morning." Mulder said as he broke the kiss.
"And a very good morning it is." Scully said smiling.
"C'mon…" Mulder said as he stood up to his full height and pulled her to her feet. "There is another lake not to far from here. I saw it yesterday. Lets go take a bath."
"Mmmm good idea." Scully said as Mulder pulled her out of the cave, leaving a sleeping Heather and Jason behind.
In just a few steps, Mulder was pulling Scully into the lake, never taking his eyes off hers. Even all muddy and smelly, she was beautiful to him. He didn't think that there was a way that she could not be beautiful to him.
"I love you." Mulder said as he pulled her in his arms. "So much, baby."
"I love you too, Mulder." Scully said as she lifted herself up to kiss his lips, her breasts smashed against his chest.
"I love the feel of your body touching mine." Mulder growled as he took them under water. A few seconds later they went up for air.
"And I love your arms around me." Scully said smiling. "Now let's get this mud off you."
Mulder laughed as she began rubbing the mud streaks off his arms. "Same goes for you, Red." Mulder said. "You are quite muddy yourself."
Within the next few minutes, Mulder and Scully washed off the mud in silence. They didn't need words to communicate with each other. When Jason saw them in the water together, he wanted to kill Mulder with his bare hands. Mulder was rubbing his hands through Scully's hair when he made his presence known.
"A-hem." Jason said, trying to hide his jealousy, but failing. The redness on his body gave it away.
"Morning" Mulder said as he pulled Scully to him. "We're almost done here if you and Heather want to wash off the mud."
"Thanks man." Jason said as he walked away, back to the cave. There he found Heather awake.
"Let me guess." Heather said. "They are playing nookie in the lake there?"
"Yeah…" Jason said.
"Well I am not going to let them have the lake all to them selves." Heather said angrily. "I want Mulder, and I am going to get him."
"You are delusional." Jason said. "They love eachother. He only has eyes for her. You should have seen the way that they were looking at one another."
"Well not for long." Heather said as she stormed to the lake with Jason not to far behind her.
When Heather got to the lake she saw that Mulder and Scully were kissing and touching eachother. She saw that he was groping her breasts while her hands were below the water. They didn't even notice that Heather was there.
It was then that Heather screamed, and the ground began to shake. Mulder quickly took Scully in his arms and got them out of the water. Jason had grabbed Heather and pulled her from the edge of the lake.
"Damn it, not again." Scully said as she pulled her head towards Mulder's wet bare chest.
"It's all right baby, I'm here." Mulder soothed. He held her close to him like she was the only thing that mattered in his world.
The shaking stopped a few minutes later, but what they saw after the shaking had stopped, surprised them all. Ronnie Klines in the flesh. Somehow Mulder knew what he wanted. Scully. It was his worst fear.
End, part 24
Part 25
"Betcha thought that I was dead, didn't you?" Klines said as he looked at Mulder.
"You know very well. " Mulder said, his grip tight on Scully.
"My goodness." Klines said, taking in the sight of them. "We can't have this!" Then, Klines lifted his hands in the air and yelled, "Barrutte!". Magically clothes appeared on the four of them.
Mulder looked down at himself and found that he was wearing brown trousers with suspenders, a long white shirt and long, big black boots. Taking in his clothes, he looked at Scully, who was wearing a dress that looked like it was from the 1800s.
"Well… what do you think?" Klines asked impatiently.
"I think you're insane." Jason mumbled.
"Hey!" Klines said, his eyes blazing. "I heard that!"
"Well you have us in clothes from another century." Heather added, taking in the sight of her royal purple dress.
"It's part of the game, you see." Klines said, demonstrating with his hands.
"Uh huh." Mulder said, rubbing Scully's right hand.
"I can see that all of you are tired of this Columbian Adventure. Klines said, looking at Scully's face. "So its time for a scene change. Mulder nodded as Klines lifted his hands in the air and snapping his fingers. To Mulder's surprise they appeared in Scully's home, which appeared to have no damage from the so called earthquake that they experienced earlier.
"Why bring us back?" Scully asked as she sat at her kitchen table.
"Because I was getting bored." Klines said, making a face. "There was no… action between the four of you. Now what fun is watching you when there is nothing good to watch?"
"Son of a-" Mulder growled.
"Mulder, I sense such hatred in your thoughts." Klines said as he walked over to where Mulder and Scully were sitting. He took Scully's hand and pulled her up.
"Get your hands off her." Mulder yelled, bolting out of his chair, wanting to kill him.
"Ah ah ah." Klines said as a gun appeared in his right hand and pointed it at Scully's temple. "I will shoot her Romeo."
Mulder stopped in his tracks.
"I know what you are thinking." Klines said looking around the room. "All of you. Jason wants to kill me as much as Mulder does at this moment. Heather hates this beautiful redhead in my arms because she has Mulder's heart. Mulder is wearing his heart on his sleeve, and Scully wants at this moment to be held in Mulder's arms. She'll have to settle for mine, you see." Klines started groping Scully, and making kissy noises at her.
"Get your fuckin-" Mulder started.
"Drop the gun Klines." Was heard by Skinner, who appeared in the back of the kitchen, pointing a gun at him.
"Ooooh." Klines cooed. "More players in this game."
"I don't think so." Skinner said as he moved further into the kitchen with other agents following behind him. "Game is over."
"No its not." Klines said, driving the gun harder into Scully's temple.
Without hesitation, Mulder lept toward Klines, aiming to get the gun away from him. In a successful fight, Mulder landed on top of Klines, bumping his hand that caused the gun to go flying in the air. Heather caught the gun in midair and pointed it at Klines, who was now on top of Mulder. As Mulder wiggled out from underneath him, Heather and Skinner shot at Klines simultaneously. His body jolted by the force of the bullets, causing his body to lay in a heap in Scully's kitchen floor, dead.
"Are we sure that he's dead?" Mulder asked, wiping the sweat off his brow.
Jason knelt down to check his vitals. "Positively." He said as he rose to his full height.
"Good, get him out of here." Skinner ordered his agents.
"Sir, how did you know we were here?" Mulder asked as agents were making arrangements to remove Kline's body from the kitchen.
"We have been looking for the four of you for five days now." Skinner said. "When we got a call from one of Scully's neighbors, she said that she saw something. So I came over here myself with some agents. We got lucky."
"Very lucky." Mulder said, turning his head to look at Scully.
"Are all of you okay?" Skinner asked.
"We're all dirty." Mulder said. "And not to mention smelly."
Skinner smiled as he said. "Well once you are clean and have had the appropriate shots at the hospital, I want to talk to the four of you. I'll give you a few hours." He then left, knowing his agents wanted some privacy.
"Hey." Mulder said as he came behind Scully and put his arms around her. "How's my girl?"
"Tired." Scully said. "It feels good to be out of that jungle."
The agents that Skinner had brought over had just left, with Klines in a bodybag. Heather and Jason had gone their separate ways, the four of them agreeing to meet at Skinner's hotel in two hours. That gave Mulder and Scully the opportunity to be alone.
"Yes, it does." Mulder said as he pulled her body closer to his. " But do you know what I need right now?"
"What?" Scully said, raising an eyebrow.
"You, a shower, and a bed."
"That can be done." Scully said as she grabbed hold of his hand and led him up the stairs that led him to the bedroom.
Mulder smiled to himself as she led him up the stairs, thinking that he could easily get used to this.
