A/N: I hope this chapter clears up some of the confusion you guys had. Thanks so much for the reviews so far.
Fox realized that he had forgotten all about introductions when he met the amazing woman who was at his door.
"Hi, I'm Fox Mulder, but you should call me Mulder." He said to the redhead in front of him.
"Dana Scully, it's nice to have something to call you by, Mulder. I was almost nervous that I would be the girl with the nameless date forever." She replied, immediately regretting saying anymore than her name; Mulder didn't seem to mind, he just smiled and let her in.
Sarah left her room and allowed her father to introduce her to 'Dana.' It was definitely weird to call her teacher by her first name. Dinner went by all too quickly, and both Sarah and Dana were sure that Mulder had no idea that the two had ever met. The three of them were sitting on the couch after dinner watching an old movie; a nearly invisible surveillance camera was focused on them.
Across town, three old men were watching the screen that displayed a man a woman and a teenaged girl on a couch. The were talking quietly amongst themselves, when a fourth man walked in, removing the cigarette from his mouth he asked,
"How did those two end up together?" One of the men who was watching the screen looked up and said,
"I have that tape right here if you want to see. We wired his apartment, her apartment, the hallway, the main door, and the mailroom." The man with the cigarette just nodded. The screen went static and a tape from a few days ago was playing. The man and woman were in the mailroom, each minding their own business, when the woman said,
"Hey, my key is stuck, can you help me?" The men watching the screen could tell that she had been pretending to struggle with the key for a little while, after looking the man up and down a few times. He hadn't really noticed her until she spoke up. He looked over at her and decided to start a conversation.
"Sure. I've never seen you before, did you just move in?" He reached over to pull the key out of the mailbox lock.
"Yeah, I don't really know anyone here." The woman answered, the men watching could tell she was trying to get the man to invite her somewhere.
"Well I live in apartment 42, you should come by for dinner next week, how about Thursday at 7?" The man suggested, when the woman looked up he made eye contact, and here bright blue eyes distracted him so much that he didn't seem to hear her say
"Okay, I'll see you then." She took her key from his hand and walked out. The men watching realized that neither person introduced himself or herself. The man with the cigarette grabbed onto one of the other men's shoulders and said,
"I thought I told you to make sure they never met."
"Hey man, I got her out of med school, so the FBI wouldn't recruit her. She wasn't supposed to move here." Replied the now frightened man. The man with the cigarette nodded again, but this time the frightened man knew it was out of disapproval. The man who had switched the tapes adjusted some stuff so the focus was back on the trio on the couch. "Do you want me to split them up?" asked the frightened man, hoping he could make the smoking man happy.
"No, no. It's too late, they'll just find each other again." Replied the smoking man, obviously not very happy that his plan to keep them apart had failed. The smoking man took one last look at the monitor before walking out the door. The three men looked at each other and back at the monitor. One man shut it off while the other two shut down the rest of the machinery in the room. Then they all left, nervously glancing at each other and their surroundings. They had pissed off the boss man.
Back at the Mulder household, the movie had ended and Dana was getting ready to leave. Sarah walked back into her room to let her father and teacher have some time alone. She really liked Ms. Scully, and she couldn't wait to find out what her father thought about her. She pulled out her school handbook and opened to the calendar that told her that parent teacher conferences were in two weeks. She wondered if she and Ms. Scully could keep up their act for that long. It was late so, instead of waiting for the adults to say their good-byes, she went to bed and decided to talk to her dad about the date tomorrow morning.
Mulder escorted Dana to his door, he really enjoyed spending the evening with her and he wanted to do it again. She half-heartedly reached for the door, realizing how nice it had been to spend time with Mulder. She really didn't want to leave, but she knew that both she and Sarah had to be up early for school in the morning. Dana slowly turned the knob on the door to open it, silently hoping that Mulder would stop her. He did. His arm snaked around her waist and he pulled her into a hug. He kissed her lightly on the cheek and released her. She smiled, and he returned the gesture. She was halfway out the door when he said that he wanted to see her again on Saturday. She nodded and smiled again before walking down the hall to her apartment.
She let herself in and sighed heavily once the door was shut and locked. Glancing at the clock, she decided she could take a quick shower before bed. Once her head hit the pillow, she was out for the night, but all her dreams were of Mulder, and what it would be like to live with him and Sarah, if this relationship went as well as she thought it would. Little did she know, all of Mulder's thoughts that night were of her.
At 7:40 Sarah walked into the classroom with Alaria, and Aretha. Dana didn't have to look at the clock to know what time it was. The three girls always came in at the same time every morning, and if they weren't there, Dana would know that something had happened to one of them. At school, Sarah, Alaria, and Aretha were virtually inseperable. This morning they were whispering to each other, so Dana couldn't make out what they were saying; she didn't have to. Alaria piped up right away.
"So, Ms. Scully, Sarah tells us you had dinner with her father last night, did you really go to her apartment?"
"Yeah, I did." Dana said, answering the question, but not giving anymore information than was asked of her.
"And…" Alaria prompted.
"'And' what?" Dana asked, not really wanting to discuss her love life with her students.
"Oh come on! How was it?" Alaria asked excitedly. Dana glanced at Sarah, who smiled, urging her to tell them what she thought of her dad.
"It was the best date I've had since High School." She replied honestly. All the other men she had gotten involved with between then and now had been too old, or too involved with other women. The four of them spent the time before the start of class talking about relationships, and how Mulder didn't know that Dana was Sarah's teacher.
Today's class was interesting. They were reviewing for a big test; Brad was being a pain, as always, he wouldn't stop talking. So Dana decided to do something about it. She grabbed a stool, went over to his table and sat down right next to him. The review continued, and Brad got bored. Feeling the need to be the center of attention, and also thinking that his teacher was hot. He reached up like he was going to put his arm around her shoulder. She glared at him and he pulled back holding his hands up defensively. About twenty seconds later Scott yelled out "Go ahead, man, put your arm around her!" Dana looked at Scott and back to Brad.
"I'm not going to sit any closer, now, if you guys don't want to know what's on Monday's test, then we can be done with this, or someone can tell me the difference between genotype and phenotype. Which is it going to be?" Dana said. She was getting frustrated with this class. Some of these kids needed to focus on their school work, and the kids like Brad and Scott were not helping. The bell rang and the room emptied out. 'Only two more classes and a study hall, I can do this' Dana thought to herself. The truth was, she had been very distracted lately by thoughts of Sarah's father. Saturday couldn't come soon enough, but when it did it would be worth the wait. She wondered where they were going to go, Mulder hadn't said anything except that he wanted to see her again.
Dana woke up at 8 on Saturday morning and laid out a pair of jeans and a tank top, figuring that she would be dressed well enough for whatever Mulder had planned.
She was going over there at 10, and two hours was more than enough time to have breakfast and shower. She knocked on the door to apartment 42 at exactly ten o' clock am.
End Part 2.
