Mulder got out of the car and stood up. He straightened his tie as he stared at the building with the words 'Shooting Range' written on it. Now Mulder was never really a nervous person before, but he hadn't seen Scully in nearly a month and for some reason he was quite anxious about it. Especially if the things Agent Myers had said were true. Mulder turned and reached back inside the car and pulled out a white rose. Mulder knew Scully liked the colour white and thought he'd surprise her with a single rose so he had stopped at the flower shop on his way and picked one up.
Mulder smiled as he walked towards the door, while he was at the flower shop he remembered seeing a man buying a large bunch of white roses, Mulder had leaned across and commented on the lucky girl and all the man had done was snob him off. Mulder let a breath out and opened the door, holding the rose behind his back he made his way down the hall until he heard a familiar voice.
"Can you show me again Agent Scully?" the voice asked. Mulder smiled
'Poor Scully' he thought as he stopped at the door and watched as Scully stood and fired some shots at the target. Harp stood beside her and raised her gun and fired as well. He smiled
"Come on girls, you're a bad shot" he said grinning, Scully turned around and smiled
"Oh, I don't know depends on what you class as bad" she said looking at him. Mulder took a breath in, he nearly forgot how beautiful she looked. Scully placed her gun down "I thought you weren't coming back for another few weeks, what changed your mind?" She asked as Harp placed the gun down next to hers. Mulder shrugged
"Got sick of the Vegas air so I thought I'd come and see what my favourite partner was doing" He replied. Scully gave him a strange look as Harp smiled
"Oh she's been doing a lot" she said, Scully turned to her
"Michelle!" Harp looked at her and smiled
"What? You know you have" Harp walked over to Mulder and whispered in his ear "You came back at the right time" Mulder stared at her but she just winked and walked out the door.
"What was that all about?" Scully asked curiously. Mulder shook his head
"I'm not sure" he replied as he walked towards her. Scully noted there was something different about Mulder, he looked a little 'neater' than usual. Scully turned back to the guns
"So did you have fun?" She asked. Mulder kept his hand behind his back
"Yeah I did, in fact I got something to show you" He said. This got her attention. She turned back to him
"Oh?" Mulder smiled.
"Well I wasn't going to show it to you now, but…" Suddenly there was a knock on the door and they both turned to see a bunch of white roses.
"What the?" Mulder stared at it. Scully's eyes widened as Agent Philip walked through the door holding them
"Andrew?" Scully said surprised
"Andrew?" Mulder repeated. It was the same man from the flower shop. The Prince smiled and walked over to her and gave her the bunch of roses. She took them. She felt a little embarrassed in front of Mulder, especially when Andrew leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Mulder bit his lower lip and kept his tongue as his temper rose.
"Andrew you shouldn't have" she said not sure what to make of it. The Prince smiled
"Oh yes I should, a beautiful lady as yourself needs attention 24/7, do you like them?" He asked. Scully nodded
"Yes, yes I do, there beautiful" She replied. Just then Mulder cleared his throat and Scully remembered he was there.
"Andrew, I would like you to meet my partner, Fox Mulder. Mulder I would like you to meet Agent Andrew Philip" The Prince extended a hand and Mulder took it. Both men eyed each other
"How do you do?" the Prince asked. Mulder nodded
"I've been better" he said
"I'm sure you have" Mulder didn't like his tone as they released their hands. Scully noted the tension between them and interrupted
"So what are you doing here?" she asked the Prince. He smiled
"I thought I'd surprise you with an invitation to do lunch? My shout" Scully looked at Mulder who smiled awkwardly
"Well I guess we can talk about this later" he said, Scully smiled thankfully
"I will call you later" she said as she walked towards the door before turning back "Oh what was that thing you wanted to show me?" She asked. Mulder just pursed his lips
"Oh, it wasn't anything important" he said waving a hand "Have fun" She smiled one last time as she left the room. The Prince looked at Mulder once more
"She's going to be mine you know" he said. Mulder narrowed his eyes
"You don't know her as much as I do, you can't buy her happiness" Mulder replied coldly. The Prince smirked
"Oh I don't know, did she show you the diamond necklace I bought her?" Mulders eyes went wide, the Prince smiled "No I thought not" He looked over him one more time before turning and leaving. Mulder straightened his suit and narrowed his eyes
"Nobody takes my girl and gets away with it" he muttered. Mulder looked at the rose he had bought for Scully
'This means war' he thought as he walked out the door and down the hall. He threw the rose in a bin before he walked back to the car. Getting in he picked up his phone and dialled
"Hello?"
"Agent Myers, it's Agent Mulder"
"Spooky! Did you send Mr White Tights back to where he came from?" Myers askedexcitedly. Mulder looked out the windscreen as Scully and the Prince Drove off.
"Not exactly, as much as I hate to say it, but I think I need your help, I'll meet you at the bureau in about an hour"
"This doesn't sound good, but alright, until then" Myers replied as he hung up. Mulder sat and stared out the windscreen again when he was startled by a tap at the passenger side window. Mulder turned to see Agent Harp at the door. Mulder unlocked it
"Agent Harp are you ok?" Harp nodded as she opened the door and sat in the car. She turned to him
"I want to help" Mulder wasn't sure what she was talking about
"What do you mean?" He asked as she fastened her seatbelt. She turned to him. Mulder had never seen her so serious
"How do you expect to win her back if you don't know how to win her heart?" Mulder looked at her shocked
"Agent Harp, I think I know how to…"
"No you don't, you see agent Mulder to understand a woman you must be a woman, therefore you need a woman's help" She said smiling
"And I gather that's where you come in?" he asked smiling back
"Exactly" she replied as Mulder started the car
"Why are you helping me? I thought you'd be all for the Prince?" Mulder asked as they drove off. Harp nodded slowly
"Agent Mulder, it's clear that the only man for Agent Scully is you. You know it, I know it and the bureau knows it. All we have to do is make Agent Scully know it" Mulder laughed as he stared out the windscreen.
"You're a fine piece of works Agent Harp. Has anyone told you that?" Harp smiled
"Once or twice" She replied "Now let's go win back a heart"
