I couldn't wait for Mulder to meet Amanda. I had been talking to Amanda about Mulder for years. From what I have told her, Mulder is Prince Charming. In reality, he may not be Prince Charming, but he is mine and that is enough for me. "Mulder, you're going to love Amanda. She's been my best friend for almost seven years." I hear him take a dramatic gasp and he stops our little walk. "Scully, I thought I was your best friend." He tries the wounded puppy dog look. It gets to me for a millisecond. "You're so much more than that Mulder." I see this perks him up, and I just roll my eyes. "So, what am I to you Scully?" He just has to push it. I can't really explain what he is to me. "I don't think there are words to describe what you are to me, Mulder. It certainly isn't something we should delve into right now." He knows I am not ready to express my feelings, so he holds out his arm for me, and I happily take it. We continue our walk and see Amanda straight ahead.

Unfortunately, Amanda is talking to Speedy. I pause for a second, but Mulder gives me a silent push to face my demons, so to speak. I look at him, and he wraps his arm around my waist. I know Speedy thought she was going to get Mulder, and when she sees the way he has his arm around me, she's going to be dripping with jealousy. Special Agent Dana Scully would never be the type to make people jealous, nor would Doctor Scully, but the Dorky Dana was dying to raise a little hell.

We walk up to Amanda and Speedy, and Amanda immediately knows who the guy with the possessive hold on my waist and soul is. "Ah, you must be Dana's Prince Charming. I've heard a lot about you!" Mulder looks at me with a smug smile, and I flush dramatically. "Oh, have you? Well, I would love to hear what Snow White has been saying." I look at him and silently beg him to stop teasing me. "Mulder, you don't want to push your luck, do you?" I give him my look that says shut up. To everybody else, it seems like I am just flirting with him. To Mulder, he knows this isn't a threat; it's a promise. A promise I will have no problem following through with, shall he ever embarrass me.

Just then, Speedy makes her presence known. I hear a little giggle from her. "Speedy, this is Mulder. Mulder this is-" I am trying to introduce them when Speedy cuts me off. "Fox... We have already had the pleasure, Dana." I know they have, and that's what pisses me off. I look at her, then at Mulder. He looks incredibly guilty. "Right. Well, that saves me the trouble than." I try to not look too pissed off. Amanda immediately picks up on my irritation and defuses the situation before it gets out of hand. "Yes. Mulder and Dana have been together for quite some time." It wasn't a complete lie.

This confuses us all. I look at her and quickly understand what she is doing. She knows how much I hate Speedy, so she is going to help me with my devious little plan. "It's been what, six years now?" I look at her with a thankful smile, "Yes. Six years I've had this pain in my neck," I say while pointing a finger in Mulder's direction. Mulder looks at me with an evil smile. "Well, you know how I like to keep things interesting." As soon as he said that, I knew he was going to milk this little game as much as he could. Before I knew it, he kissed me on the lips to get his point across. I was taken back for a second, but I quickly recovered with a smile. A smile that said I knew what he was doing, and he better watch his self.

I heard Speedy sigh and felt her irritation radiate off of her. "Fox, Dana, I think I'm going to have to catch up with you later. Fox, promise you will save a dance for me?" I came so close to smacking her, but Mulder grabbed my hand before I even had a chance to think about it. "Actually, I only have one dance partner. I am afraid any other partner simply would not do. I am sorry, Moriah." I stifle a little giggle. Speedy looks at me and stomps away. I look at Mulder and this time I initiate the kiss. It was a quick peck, but he knew why I did it, and I know he felt the emotion I put into it.

"Amanda, I owe you big!" She looks extremely guilty. After all, she just lied to her second best friend because of her first best friend. "Yeah, well, I saw your angry face come out. I didn't want to have to bail you out of jail on my wedding day." I love my best friend. "It won't happen again. I promise!" I give her my word and she laughs at me. "Dana, you have always made my life interesting. Don't you dare stop now." Mulder looks at her and says, "seriously? Scully has always been the level headed one between the two of us." He looks like he needs evidence. I look at him with a sweet smile. "Mulder, that isn't saying much. You are the most careless adult I have ever met." I give him a little nudge, and he laughs with us.

"Scully, would you like to dance with me?" He holds his hand out in a very Prince Charming manor. "Why, Mulder, am I that special dance partner," I say with a sweet voice, dripping with a fake accent. "You are the one." I get his double meaning, and my eyes grow wide. He pulls me into his chest and whispers extremely close to my ear, "You are everything, Scully. That is what you are to me." I look at him with tears threatening to fall and respond, "and you are mine." I forget Amanda is standing right next to us. I look behind me, and she is in complete awe. I smile at her, and she gives me the eye brow that says we have a lot to talk about!
