Mrs. Prince Charming

Scully's eyes went wide, for the first time in a long time she was speechless
"Andrew, I…"
"I know it's only been a week but why wait when it's true love?" Scully didn't know what to say. Andrew smiled
"I don't know what to…"
"Say yes, come and live with me. I have money you won't need to work anymore. I will shower you with everything you'll ever need and more" Scully felt some warmth in his words but felt uneasy about it
"Andrew I don't know" She hesitated. Just then he stood and looked her in the eyes
"Dana, I have to leave tomorrow afternoon and I don't know when I'll be back, so if your going to say yes, tell me now…"
"She doesn't have to say anything" Andrew and Scully both turned to see Mulder walking towards them
"Oh it's you" The Prince commented icily
"Yes it is" Mulder replied just as icy. Scully looked at both of them
"Mulder what are you doing here?" She asked suspiciously
"I came to stop you from ruining your life…" He started but was interrupted by the Prince
"Ha, I think you're the one ruining her life, keeping her locked in that basement of yours" Mulder gave him an evil glare. Scully turned to him
"Mulder were you following me?" Mulder looked her in the eyes
"Scully I was just…"
"I can't believe you! I can take care of myself!"
"Scully I…" Just then she saw Myers, Harp and Fuller stand over in the distance behind him.
"No Mulder, you even got your new 'friends' to help spy on me… It's Myers for Gods sakes!… you know what?" She turned to the Prince and held her hand out "Andrew yes, I'll marry you" Mulders mouth dropped open as the Prince slid the ring on her finger. Then she turned back to Mulder "You had your chance, it's my life" Suddenly she walked passed him and back across the beach.
"Scully, wait" he yelled but she didn't stop. Mulder watched her go then turned his focus back on the Prince who was still smiling
"What are you so happy about?" He muttered. The Prince turned and looked over his shoulder
"If I can recall Agent Mulder you owe me a few drinks"

It was the next day and Mulder was trying to find Scully. He had called her cell but she had switched it off. Mulder walked down the hall, looking around but still no sign of her. Mulder went down to the basement hoping she was there. He rounded the corner and walked through the door and stopped
"What are you doing?" he asked as Scully placed a few things in a box. Scully didn't look at him
"I'm leaving in about half an hour to go to the airport" She replied. Mulders stomach dropped
"You're just going to leave without saying goodbye?" He said trying to fight back the anger. Now she looked at him
"Why it's not like you would have cared anyway" Her words stung him deeply
"How can you say that, I lo…"
"Don't bother trying to make up excuses Mulder, I have worked here for how many years and all for what? I haven't accomplished anything with my life? I haven't seen outside of America…"
"You have accomplished lots of things, Scully" Mulder said trying to reason with her. Scully looked him in the eyes and saw something there but couldn't place what it was
"What have I accomplished Mulder? What?" Mulder thought for a moment but couldn't answer with anything credible. He just lowered his eyes.
"Scully, I…"
"Mulder just leave me alone" She said as she grabbed the box and walked out the door without even saying goodbye
Mulder slumped down at his desk. He stared at the 'I want to believe poster.' then at a picture of Scully and him. A very long time passed when he had calmed down
'You're a stupid idiot Mulder' He thought to himself 'You should have told her a long time ago' Mulder picked up a pencil and fiddled it in his hands. In a spit second he threw it with a lot of force at the poster, ripping it slightly. Mulder laid back against the chair and looked at the ceiling. Just then he heard the thundering of feet in the corridor outside his door then suddenly Myers ran right around the corner and right up to his desk. Mulder just stared at him.
"Did you hear? She's on her way to the airport!" Mulder looked down
"Yeah I know" Myers looked shocked
"What? You're just going to let her go without a fight?" Mulder nodded
"She said to leave her alone" He replied. Myers mouth dropped open then to Mulder surprise he stood a little straighter.
"Agent Mulder, when Agent Scully said to me to leave her alone, do you think I did?" Myers replied.
"No, But…" Mulder started but Myers interrupted
"And when she wanted me to stop calling her gorgeous because it got on her nerves, do you think I stopped? No!… If anything, the one thing I learnt from Agent Harp this week was, In an instant like this when a girl says she doesn't want you, it really means she does" Mulder looked up at him as he placed both hands on the desk and looked him in the eyes. "Agent Mulder, in 20 to 30 years time when you're still sitting in this god forsaken basement alone, do you really want to be thinking, what if I had gone to the airport and stopped her?" Myers could see his eyes lit up then he smiled, stood and strided around the desk.
"You got a car?" Myers stepped around and followed in his wake
"Dean is already waiting" he replied
"Agent Myers"
"Yes Agent Mulder?"
"Let's go get my woman back" Myers laughed as they made it out and into the parking area. They ran to the car where Fuller was waiting
"Come on or she'll leave without us!" Mulder and Myers both jumped in and buckled up. Fuller was about to start the engine when they heard someone yell from behind the car. They all turned to see Agent Harp running towards them
"Agent Harp what?…" Mulder started as she opened the door. Suddenly she jumped in and pulled her seatbelt on. Myers looked across at Mulder
"I think she's coming too" Mulder smiled as he turned back to the front
"Let's go then" Fuller started the engine and they were off…
