A/N: I have no internet right now, so my posting will be sporadic at best. I have to use the local library's to post anything. My Mom is getting an aircard in January, until then I have to suffer.

"They say life is so much sweeter, through the telephoto lense of fame, but out here you get just as much attention, cheering at the high school football game.." Dana Scully sang along with her radio as she finished typing up her lab report for Chemistry. It was just another Friday night in their small town, Mulder would be there eventually and the two of them would either hang around her house watching movies or end up at the Center.

Scully's head whipped around at the sound of tapping on her window and she laughed when she saw Mulder hanging by his hands, "What are you doing?" She asked as she shoved the window up and grabbed his arms, pulling him inside.

"I told you I was coming over and you couldn't even leave the damn window open?" Mulder asked as he fell gracefully onto the floor.

"Uh, No. It's November. Like I am going to leave my window open when theres a fricken blizzard outside." Scully told him, grabbing the blanket from her bed and wrapping it around him, "Besides, we have a perfectly good front door. Or did you forget how to knock?"

"Oh so you're the funny one tonight?" Mulder asked as he rolled his eyes, "I brought movies." He said and pulled the Family Video bag from his coat pocket.

"So help me God, Mulder, if it's Weekend at Bernie's I am shoving you back out the window from which you came!" Scully warned as she dumped the content of the bags on her bed, "Okay, you're forgiven." She told him when she saw Pretty Woman and Top Gun, as well as a bag of Pull N Peel Twizzlers.

"Thank you I think. So...I need to talk to you, well I guess not talk to you, but you're my best friend so I guess you get to hear it before it's all over town."

"Mulder, you're rambling."

"Right... Sorry. Uhm Diana and I broke up." Mulder explained softly as he tore open the bag of Twizzlers.

"Mulder.. gosh I am so sorry." Scully said and surprisingly she actually meant it.

"I'm not. She said something that was so far out of line.. anyways, I broke up with her and it was the best decision I've made in a long time."

"What'd she say?" Scully asked as she grabbed Pretty Woman and put it in the VCR.

"Scully, believe me when I say you don't want to know." Mulder told her as he scooted back on her bed, leaning against the headboard.

"Mulder, tell me. I mean you two were all disgusting yesterday in the hallway and today you're broken up. You gotta fill in the blanks here." Scully said, she felt bad for him, even though she was cheering on the inside.

"She said some things about you that I didn't entirely agree with." Mulder said so quietly Scully almost didn't hear him.

"Things like what?" Scully asked as she sat down beside him, hugging her pillow to her chest.

"Dana..." Mulder breathed, he never used her first name so when he did, Scully turned to look at him, "Please don't make me repeat them."

"It can't be that bad. I'm used to it Mulder, Diana Fowley and the rest of her friends have been making fun of me since first grade. Nothing you say is going to shock me."

"Dammit!" Mulder said harshly and stood up, "That's the exact point. You shouldn't be immune to their harrasment, because the things they say are totally uncalled for. They don't even know you, they have no idea how amazing you are. Just because you don't screw every guy you come across, they turn you into this prude and they say the worst possible things. I wasn't going to take it anymore!" Mulder ranted and Scully's jaw dropped, he had never been so protective of her before.

"Mulder.. calm down. I'm okay and you don't have to protect me." Scully kneeled on her bed, reaching out and placing a hand on his arm.

"It's just.. No one. NO one speaks about my best friend like that." Mulder mumbled as he walked forward into Scully's arms.

"I'm sorry Mulder. I shouldn't have pushed you. Let's just watch the movie and gorge ourselves on Twizzlers okay?" Scully asked, her arms wrapped around his neck, fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.

Mulder nodded into her shoulder, "I am sorry." Mulder let go of her and moved to lie down on the bed as the 1985 credits rolled.

"I love this movie." Scully smiled as she crossed her legs, hugging her pillow to her chest.

"I know you do." Mulder smiled, if Scully was happy then so was he, "So is it just a Richard Gere thing? Cause honestly, he's like old enough to be your dad."

Scully wacked him on the head with her pillow, "Nooo, Idiot, that's not the reason why I love this movie...okay, not the only reason, it's just, it's love in it's purest form."

"Hate to break it to ya Scully, but there is nothing pure about Richard Gere falling in love with a hooker, even if said hooker is Julia Roberts." Mulder explained.

"You're just too guy to see it. It's like," Scully paused and turned to look at him, "what every girl wants, one guy to love her for exactly what she is. Sure she tried to fit into his high society, but in the end he loves her for being a hooker, loves her so much that he chases her, runs up a fire escape and kisses her."

Mulder didn't say a word, because if he did he would blow his cover, the cover he had perfected all these years.

"Sssh. It's beginning." Scully shushed him as the movie began, she grabbed a Twizzler and began to peel it apart, in her opinion Pull N Peel Twizzlers was the best kind of candy. Red Vines didn't taste the same and the ones that didn't peel were just disgusting and you thought you'd break your teeth on them. She dangled a string over Mulders lips and when he opened his mouth she dropped it in, "It's like feeding a bird." She giggled.

"Weren't you the one who just shushed me?" He asked and he placed a hand over her mouth, Scully glared at him and then playfully stuck her tongue out, effectively licking his hand.

"Eww gross Scully cooties!" He exclaimed as he wiped his wet palm on her cheek.

"I do NOT have cooties. You jerk." Scully wacked him with her pillow. Just then a knock came on her door and Scully paused the movie, "Enter!"

"Oh Hi. I thought I heard Fox." Mrs. Scully said and Mulder gave her a warm smile, "What are you guys up to tonight."

"Oh just movies and I was thinking if Fox is up to it, a trip to the center." Scully smiled stressing Mulder's first name.

"Okay. Well I'll let you two return to your movie. And Fox, next time use the front door. You use that window and one of these days you're gonna fall and break your neck." Mrs Scully chastised playfully.

"Yes Ma'am." Mulder smiled at Mrs. Scully as she backed out of the room, shutting the door.

"Oh and Fox..."

"Yes Ma'am?"

"Will you be joining us for Thanksgiving again this year?" Mrs. Mulder asked, sticking her head back in the door.

"Yes Ma'am. I'd appreciate that very much." Mulder said, he had spent most holidays with the Scully's since Samantha had disappeared.

"Alright then. Oh and Fox, if the weather gets much worse, the cot is in the hallway closet." Mrs. Scully said and closed the door.

"So you gonna stay the night, Fox?" Scully asked as she broke out into a fit of giggles, there was just something about saying Mulder's first name that made her completely giddy.

"I don't know Dana. Are you gonna act like a wise ass all night?" Mulder teased.

"Takes one to know one jerk face."

"Oh so you're gonna call me names, yeah that's the way to get me to stay." Mulder secretly loved it everytime Scully called him names, it reminded him of first grade. When you're mean to the boy you like, because God forbid he finds out she actually think he's cute.

"Oh come on. You gotta stay. The last thing you need to do is be driving in this crap." Scully said, the weather was currently bad, ice on the roads and snow supposed to be coming later that night.

"Well if I gotta." He said acting like it was the worst thing ever.

"Yeah. You do. The last thing I need is you wrapped around a telephone pole." Scully said seriously, she was always scared when Mulder drove home from her house late at night in the winter. It wasn't very far, but almost completely down hill on curves.

"Okay then. Why don't you change. Put on your pajamas, I'll go grab my stuff from the closet." Mulder said as he got off the bed and left the room.

Scully sighed, getting up, she walked over to her dresser, yanking the drawers open and rifling through a plethora of clothes. She pulled out a pair of blue plaid pajama pants, socks and one of Mulder's shirts that he had out grown and left there. After she changed and tossed her clothes in the hamper, she pulled her long red hair into a messy bun on top of her head, she needed to get it cut, but it was too cold to take enough off. Scully had the curse of curly hair and while she straightened it often, it was still terribly tangly.

"You decent?" Mulder asked from the other side of the door.

"Yeah." Scully called and Mulder opened the door, standing in pajama pants and a long sleeve thermal, cot in his arms.

"Want some help with that?"

"I think I can manage little lady." Mulder said teasingly as he set the cot up, pinching his fingers, "Ah fuck." he cursed as he looked at the blood blister quickly forming on his knuckle.

"Crap." Scully muttered as she rushed over to him and checked his fingers over, "I don't think you broke anything, but that's gonna hurt like a bitch. You want some ice or tylenol?" Scully asked as she held his hand in both of hers.

"Nah, I'll be fine."

"Mulder, don't be a macho ass. I'm getting you some tylenol and you're gonna take it if I have to force it down your throat."

"Violent much?"

"I live with two brothers, Buckaroo, I'm as tough as they come." Scully said as she walked out of the room.

"Oh please call me Buckaroo again!" Mulder called after her, laughing.

Scully came back in a moment later, holding a bottle of extra strength Tylenol and a glass of water, she handed him two pills and then the glass of water. Mulder took them without putting up a fight, his fingers were throbbing, "There that wasn't too terrible." Scully said and placed the items on her nightstand.

"No, I guess not. Now let's watch this movie."

"How about we don't. I mean I've seen this movie like five billion times, why don't we play Truth, Truth or Truth?" Scully asked as she clicked off the TV and VCR, sitting cross legged on her bed.

"Aren't we a little old for that game?" Mulder asked, Truth, Truth or Truth was their version of Truth Or Dare. When you only have two people, the Dares can get ridiculously stupid.

Scully gasped, "Never!"

"Fine, Fine. I give. Let's play." Mulder laid down on the cot, laying on his side so he could look at Scully.

"Ok, who's turn is it to start?"

"Mine I think. So Scully, Truth, Truth or Truth?"

"Eh, the second Truth." Scully grinned.

"Okay, hmm, are you going to go to prom this year?" Mulder asked, mainly wondering if she wanted to go and if he could ask her.

"I guess if I get asked, I'll go." Scully said, too nice to turn anyone down.

"What if I asked you?"

"I think you're asking a question out of turn." Scully said and swallowed hard.

"Fine, Fine. Ask your question."

"What'd Diana say?"

"Scully, can't you just let it go?" Mulder asked as he burried his head in his pillow.

"No and I asked, so you have to answer the question." Scully demanded, she wasn't entirely sure she wanted to know, but there was no way that Mulder was getting out of telling her.

"She said.. you were, uh, too much of an Ice Queen.. that no one would ever love you." Mulder said quietly.

Scully felt her heart stop beating for a moment and she swallowed the boulder size lump in her throat, feeling hot tears burning at her tear ducts, Diana Fowley was the queen bitch, because she prayed on the one worst quality you saw in yourself and harassed you for it. "Doesn't bother me." Scully shook her head, starring at the floor, refusing to let her eyes meet Mulder's.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you." Mulder sighed, he got up and walked over to Scully, kneeling before her, "She is so wrong and she can't even see it. You are no Ice Queen, Dana Katherine Scully, you listen to me," Mulder said, wiping her tears away with his thumb, "She is so wrong, because there is no one kinder or sweeter than you. You are the easiest person in the world to love, you care too much. Scully you lead with your heart and no one else does. Diana's a bitch and she couldn't be more wrong about you."

"God, Mulder she's so right! You're just too biased to see it." Scully said as her tears fell freely down her cheeks, "I am sixteen year old for Christ's sake, I am going to be seventeen in three more months. I've never had a boy friend, I've never even been kissed. I am this social reject."

"Scully." Mulder breathed, he knew that Scully's insecurities had been building up for awhile, he had seen her fall time and time again for the wrong guy. The guy who couldn't understand why she loved them when they didn't even know she liked them. It wasn't their fault, but it wasn't hers either, she just let her emotions build and locked it up inside til it all came bubbling over and she said something no one else expected.

"Mulder, I suck at this. I suck at being a teenager!"

"Scully.. Dana, look at me." Mulder hooked his pointer finger under her chin and raised her head to look in her eyes.

"What?" Scully asked, her voice quavering.

"Those guys are idiots. They got scared because they didn't understand. If they had understood that you had been building up feelings for them for so long that by the time you were brave enough to admit it, it was already love, they would've stayed. They don't know you. They didn't deserve you. You deserve so much more than that."

"I'm just so tired of waiting!" Scully whined slightly.

"I know you are." Mulder brushed the loose strands of hair from her face, tentively he leaned forward.

"What are you doing?" Scully whispered.

"I'm sick of waiting too." Mulder explained and leaned the rest of the way in, capturing her lower lip between both of his. It took a moment, then Scully reacted, kissing back, she wrapped her arms around his neck, Mulder couldn't believe she'd never been kissed, because it had never felt like this for him before. Maybe I was just kissing the wrong girls Mulder thought for a moment.

"What was that?" Scully asked after she pulled away, panting like she had just run a marathon.

"A..kiss." Mulder said softly, he was really hoping Scully wouldn't be angry.

"I know that. But this is us. Mulder and Scully. Friends. Best Friends. Not the kind of friends who do that." Scully was on the verge of a panic attack, Mulder grabbed her hands and forced her to stop fidgeting.

"I like you Scully. I don't know for sure if I'm in love with you, but if I'm not then I am well on my way." Mulder explained and Scully's jaw slacked, "I know it's scary, but I know you like me too."

"I do Mulder, I have for years." Scully breathed.

"Then, Miss Dana Katherine Scully, would you do me the honor of being my girl friend?"

"Are you serious?" Scully bit her lip, trying to fight the grin that would surely take over her face.

"Completely."

"Yes!" Scully said and flung her arms around his neck, Fox Mulder was her boyfriend and she couldn't be more ecastatic.

"Good." Mulder wrapped his arms around her, he glanced at the clock, "Scully, I know we need to talk about this more, but it's late. We should get some sleep."

"Okay, but do you have to sleep on the cot?" Scully asked, "I swear I'll keep my hands to myself." Mulder laughed and shook his head, climbing up onto the bed.

Scully turned on her radio, turning the volume on low, pulling back the covers she climbed under and motioned for Mulder to do the same, turning on his side, he hooked an arm around her waist pulling her to him, she nestled her head on his chest.

"I love this song." Scully said into the darkness that now covered her room, Mulder traced his fingers up and down her arm, sending tingles over her skin.

"Oh, it's a beautiful thing,
Don't think I can keep it all in,
I just gotta let you know,
What is that won't let me go,
It's your love,
Just does somethin' to me,
Sends a shock right through me,
I can't get enough,

and if you wonder,
about the spell I'm under,
oh it's your love."

Mulder sang with the song, whispering the words in her ear. Scully's face felt like she had slept with a hangar in her mouth, she was glad Mulder couldn't see her face in the dark.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

The next morning, Mrs Scully opened the door to her youngest daughters room, to tell the two teenagers that it was time for breakfast, but what she saw stopped her in her tracks. She wasn't angry, but she hadn't expected to see this, not for another year or so. Her Dana was growing up and she couldn't stop it. If she had to grow up, Mrs. Scully was glad that Fox Mulder was the one she had chose to grow up with. Backing out of the room, she closed the door, tip toeing down the stairs to feed Charlie.

A/N: So this be the conclusion of chapter two. I plan very much so to keep this going for a long time. Let's see... the songs used in this chapter was 'Famous in a Small Town' by Miranda Lambert and 'It's Your Love' by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. I am sure the romantic parts of this chapter are completely cheesy, but that's what first loves are about, being ridiculously cheesy.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! I love you all =D
