To double date or not to double date?

Scully was standing in front of the mirror looking at her reflection. Scully ran her fingers through her curling hair. Angela had decided to curl her red hair, and she did not say anything on that subject. She just looked at her feet, then she had put on her dress. Now she was standing in front of the mirror, she didn't even recognize the person looking back at her. She thought back on her partnership with Mulder, imagining why Mulder would date someone like Brennan.

Well, Brennan was attractive in a more obvious way, and she never mentioned to Mulder she liked him, in more than a partner way. She never dared to say that, not since Emily. She had closed herself off from everyone. When she finally was ready to open up to him, he had moved on.

That is when he told her that he was dating Dr. Temperance Brennan. Her first feeling was excitement, just because she really liked Temperance Brennan's books, then it hit her. The second thing she remembered that she was looking for Seeley Booth, Brennan's partner. And after all these things happened, she was dating him.

Someone knocked on the door, She opened the door, to find an excited Angela.

"I think this is going to make Bren so jealous!" Angela said

"How are your friends?" Dana asked "Melinda and Zach . . . "

"Well, Zach woke up, like this morning. And Melinda is really pregnant. So good."

"Wow," Scully said "And the little girl?"

"A little confused." Angela replied "She is having a little sister, but she wants her to come right now. And she can't understand, why she can't just come now."

"She's a two-year-old right?" Scully asked.

"Well, almost three." Angela said "I know she's very bright for her age. She even watches Hannah Montana. She just doesn't get the entire show. Well, she's really cute, and she talks so much."

"What's the deal with Prue's father?" Scully asked "It seemed that she thought her father was dead.

"That is because he is." Angela said "Melinda had a relationship with Evan, a scientist, he died and broke her heart. She never mentioned in what way he died. I guess that's not really important."

"Well, I look awful." Scully said.

"You look amazing, sweetie." Angela replied. "Mulder will not be able to keep his eyes off you. And then Booth can look at Brennan. By the end of the night, you'll be together. I hope."

She heard a knock on the door. Booth was in front of it with flowers. And he looked really, really handsome. "Dana, you look beautiful. That Mulder guy will have a hard time focusing on Bones. You look beautiful, really, really!"

He left the apartment, and Scully followed him. She sat in the seat beside Booth. They drove a while and stopped at Mulder's apartment. Booth saw that Mulder and Brennan were coming their way. He kissed Scully's lips while the door was opening.

"Well, you seem in love." Mulder replied, while taking Brennan in his arms. "I'm happy for ya Scully! Really Happy!" He said while bending Brennan over and kissing her on the mouth.

Booth tried to keep his eyes on Scully, although he felt very jealous. And he detected the same emotion on Scully's face. But the two in the back seat didn't seem care.

"Well, where are we going?" Scully asked. She saw that Brennan and Mulder pulled apart.

"Well, perhaps, we'll go and see a movie." Booth subjected.

"Yeah, " Scully said. While looking to Mulder "There is a good movie about alien abduction and smoking guys. And government conspiracies."

"Jeez, Scully, didn't know my life was made in a movie." Mulder said while putting his arm around Brennan's waist. Scully could not take this. Why did he have to show his feelings like that? Why couldn't he just be in love with her?

"Well, there is this movie about bones in the theater. It's after my first book." Brennan said "I really want to see that."

"Want to check out who's playing me?" Booth smiled at Scully and tried not to look at Brennan.

"Well, they'll probably cast Jim Carry," Scully said.

"Booth, you're not in my book!" Brennan said while turning herself away from Booth and looking to Mulder once again. Hugging him very tight.

Get a grip of yourself Seeley, Booth thought, they are a couple. Don't look at them like that. Just keep your eyes on the road. Or on Dana.

"There is this movie, High school musical three." Dana said "I just love that Vanessa Hudgens. Such great music."

"I'm not about to go to a movie where kids are singing all the time." Mulder replied "It's just so wrong, I mean them singing badly is like a X-file. I mean can't we go watch something spooky"

"Let's just watch you, Spooky" Scully said while looking to Booth.

"I'm serious, something like Saw, anything." Mulder said.

"I'd rather not." Brennan replied "It's just that, I don't have to see any corpses today. I prefer High school musical three, and then I can say to Prue I actually saw that movie."

"Two year old Prue?" Mulder said "Do I really need to see High school musical three, let's just see the movie after your book."

"Well," Booth said "To be honest, I'm with Dana, I want to see that Vanessa Hudgens. So,"

"I guess," Mulder said "I'll enjoy the movie."

Booth smiled, he watched Scully feel at ease, finally. She saw that Booth was watching her, and instantly smiled back. He watched her for a little while, seeing that she had lost a lot, and now she had lost the man she loved more than anything in the world. They stepped out of the car. Booth put his arm around Scully's arms and walked next to her. Seeing that she rested against his shoulder. Brennan was walking behind her, her hand was resting in Mulder's hand. And they looked so in love. They reached the register.

"Four for High school musical three please." He said. The woman behind the glass handed him the tickets. They walked to the stairs, and made their way to right place. Settling before the great screen.

The room turned dark, first there were some piece movies. When the movie started, Scully's head was resting on Booths shoulder. Next to him Brennan sat, Her hand was resting next to his. But her head was resting on Mulder's shoulder. He looked to the big screen, revealing a sweaty, Zach Efron, who was in Booth's opinion a little to cocky playing basketball. He saw that Brennan was reflecting on his bone structure. And Mulder seemed to be enjoying himself. Scully was watching the movie, and was very interested. He heard her trying to sing along, and trying to relax.

The movie wasn't that bad, Booth thought while he took Scully tighter in his arms. After a couple of hours the movie ended. Scully was dancing a little, like Vanessa Hudgens.

"You could have totally played Gabriella" Booth said while Scully smiled.

"I'm not that pretty." Scully said "Not that pretty like all the others."

She was watching Brennan, even Booth wanted her. Not for a moment he did he take his eyes off of her. Dana Scully looked more beautiful than she ever did, and Mulder could not even give his partner a glance. If she was his partner, he would have complimented the way she looked. In her eyes he could see that Scully really cared about Mulder was thinking.

"What makes you say that?" Booth asked "What makes you say that you are not as pretty as all the others?"

"Mulder never looks at me in that way." Scully replied "I'm wearing a beautiful dress, my hair is all done. And he can't even give me a glance. Just keeps his eyes on that Brennan. First there was Diane, than there was that Bambi, and than there was that b*tch Phoebe again. And now Temperance Brennan. I'm just wondering why am I not enough."

"Hey, Dana" He replied "He's blind. If he can't see that you're everything he needs. Sometimes people can't see what's right in front of them. I like you, but not in that way. And it has nothing to do with the way you look, it's just I haven't been able to get my mind off of Brennan ever since I met her. They were empty relationships. I was just dating someone to have somebody, always realizing it was not the right person. Maybe that is just how Mulder feels, maybe he thinks that he is not good enough for you, perfect little Scully. Maybe he wants to protect you from something."

Mulder and Brennan walked towards them. Scully's tears were still visible. Her eyes were red. It was clearly that she was hurt.

"What did you do to her?" Mulder asked while putting his arm around Scully trying to calm her down. "I haven't seen her like this since Emily."

"I'm sure, Booth did not do anything to poor Scully." Brennan said. "She's probably just crying about the movie."

"I'll take care of it." Booth said while putting his arms protectively around Scully. Mulder kept his eyes on Scully for a brief moment. He kept Scully very close. He heard her whisper, sorry. But he didn't react. Brennan and Mulder were sitting on a bench with a drink.

"Who's Emily?" Booth asked while turning her to him.

"Emily's my daughter." Scully said "Or something like it. I was abducted four years ago or something. And the government did this test on me, removing my ovaries and other tests. They created Emily, with the DNA of an Extraterrestrial life form. Making a hybrid. And then they killed the poor kid's parents. That's when I discovered she was my daughter. And about what she was."

Scully cried. She felt very sad again about what happened to her daughter. She continued "Than she became really sick. She died in the hospital. Her body was removed so no one would find out the truth. They stole the corpse of my only daughter. I only knew for a couple of weeks, but I just loved her so much. You wouldn't understand."

"Actually I do" Booth replied "I do understand. I have a son. And I loved him from the first moment I saw him. If they ever took him away from me, I would be heartbroken. But you do have a chance to have anther child, right?"

"No, I can never conceive a child again because of the test they did." Scully answered.

"So all this time that Hodgins was talking about conspiracies in the government, and I laughed with him. All that time he was actually right." Booth replied "All this time the government is doing this horrible tests on people, taking there chance to have children away from that. For what cause?"

"I don't know." Scully replied "I don't know. Mulder says the truth is out there. But there is just to much to sacrifice to get it. I don't know if I have anything more to sacrifice. I've sacrificed everything for him. Oh I love him so much."

Booth embraced her, and her head rested on his chest. Lightly he put his head on top of hers. Not looking around. After a couple minutes he stood up. "Let's bring you home Dana."

He dropped Mulder and Booth of at Brennan's place. And drove home, to Scully's home.

"So, I'll see you later." Booth said while he hugged her. He watched her enter the building. Then he drove home thinking about what she said about children, about Emily, and the government. Was she right? Was the government keeping all of this a secret?
