Back by popular demand, it's chapter 2. Due to everybody reviewing for this story I decided to review a little earlier than planned so her it is, tell me what you think and how it's going so far. Thanks for the reviews they really make my day.
Scully paced the small office growing more and more agitated as the seconds had passed. It was fifteen minutes past the time Mulder usually arrived and she had begun to worry what was taking him so long. She had woken up early that morning in order to leave the house as to avoid Danni, luckily she succeeded, but had received a phone call a half hour ago from her saying she was going to stop by. Now all Scully had to do was get to Mulder before her cousin did and talk to him about her little predicament. Another minute passed and Scully took a deep breath, exhaustion from the lack of sleep and caffeine took over her body as she made her way to sit at the desk and she rest her head to close her eyes for the moment, knowing that the second Mulder came in she would know.
Mulder entered the main office floor and a look of confusion set across his features when he got a sight of what was before him. The few woman were at their desks trying to avoid the madness, the occasional eye-roll was entered every now and again. All the men were up from their desks and by the coffee machine talking to some woman, a stupid one, was all Mulder could make out.
"Look, I'm just here to see Agent Scully." She said softly, her voice sounded as if she were a blonde, if that is even possible, and that she was one who got what she wanted. The very thought made Mulder feel somewhat sick.
"Excuse me gentlemen." He said making his way over to the coffee machine like he did every morning to grab a coffee for Scully and himself.
"Boys, boys, boys." The woman spoke again, smiling. "I'm just looking for Agent Dana Scully, now can anyone of you direct me to her office?"
A few shouts could be heard, some of the references where sexual, obviously these guys were no help at all. Any other woman would be furious as to how these men spoke to her, but every time this one opened her mouth she only seemed to be growing nicer. Finally Mulder made his way through the crowd, carrying both cups in one hand, he made his way to the center of the men's attention to see a young tall blonde, wearing a short top revealing way too much and a black short skirt and matching leather boots. No wonder the men were going crazy over here, thought stupid, she was pretty.
"Do you want to see Dana Scully?" he asked the woman over the talking of the other men. She looked up to him kindly and nodded her head as a child would admit to breaking her mother's favorite picture. "Then come with me." he said taking her hand and lead her through the crowd and to the elevator.
"My hero." He heard her mumble over the voices of the calling men.
"Come on Mulder, you have Scully, we just want this one!" one agent yelled.
"You're just greedy." Another called back to them.
"Men!" the woman yelled laughing as she rushed towards the elevator doors. "I want to thank you for saving me." she said once the doors had closed and they had descended into the basement.
"Not a problem, those guys can be such a pain at times." He said checking to see if both cups still carried some form of liquid and was surprised to see nothing had spilt in the run.
"I'm Danielle Logan." She said offering her his hand.
"I'm Fox Mulder, but I prefer it if you just call me Mulder. Everyone else does." He said taking her hand and gave it a firm shake before the doors opened. "Wakey, wakey Scully." Mulder said seeing her face down on the papers again; he placed a cup in front of her and watched as she reached for it to down the hot substance.
"Mulder, thank god you're here. What the hell took you so long?" she asked looking straight to him, ignoring the person in the doorway.
"There was a mess in the coffee room and I was busy rescuing this young woman who claims to know you." He said motioning to Danielle as she stood smiling.
"Good morning Dana." She said brightly, her face lighting up.
"Good morning Danni." She said faking a smile. Well so much for asking Mulder her question.
"I take it you two know each other?" Mulder asked smiling.
"Sort of, Mulder this is my cousin. Danni this is my...partner." She said unsure of how to refer to him in front of her when he was clueless still.
"We've met." She said smiling at him; he nodded before grabbing one of the files Scully had slept on.
"Mulder can I speak to you for a moment?" she asked leading him out of the office and into the hallway. "Just don't touch anything, Danni."
"alright." She called as the door shut behind them.
"Alright, Scully, what's on your mind?" he asked looking to her oddly.
"I need a big favor from you." she muttered lowering her head ashamed of what she was going to ask of him.
"shoot." He said smiling at her.
"Ok last night Danni said a few things that got me upset, I said something I think she took the wrong way."
"What did you say?"
"It's not really important, but if I tell her she was mistaken, she will think I'm lying, if I show her..."
"She'll bug you about it for a long time." He finished for her and got a small nod of the head. "Ok what is it you need?"
"I need you to pretend we're going out, just until she leaves." She said quickly before changing her mind on the idea.
"Jeeze, I don't know." He said confused of what she asked, her face lowered in disappointment. "I mean we did at like we were married, this should be easier." She stood there hanging onto every word he said hoping he wouldn't turn her down.
"Mulder please?" she asked nicely, her eyes begged him to say yes.
"Yeah, sure why not? I mean that's what friends do right? Help each other out?? He asked as she wrapped her arms around him smiling repeating 'thank you' and how she owed him. Mulder hugged her back and smiled. He was going to enjoy this, for the past few years he had been harboring feelings for her and now he was given another chance to show her how serious he was, she took it as a joke on their last case, maybe this time he could help her see he wasn't joking. Just then the door to the office opened and they pulled apart to see Danni looking at them curiously.
"You guys work on cases that involve aliens?" she asked, her face questioned their sanity.
"Yeah, didn't my mom tell you that?" Scully asked smiling.
"She did, but I thought she was only kidding."
"Well she wasn't. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it." Mulder told her before entering the office again.
"Um...I'm going to go shopping until you get off of work." She said before heading to the door.
"Have fun I'll see you tonight for dinner." Scully called happy to be rid of her cousin. "Mulder why don't you come by. God knows I could use the help." She said once her cousin was gone with the elevator.
"Alright, what time should I be there?"
"About six thirty." She said smiling, maybe now she could get her cousin off of her back once and for all.
Quick question: does anybody know Scully's mom's name? I kind of forgot. Please review.
