Day 3- Wednesday

I woke up around 11 after having the best night's sleep I have had in a long, long time. I got out of bed and got my shower preparing for the day ahead. When I was done with my shower I re-entered my room with my bathrobe tied around me and was drying my hair with a towel. I came out to see Mulder stretched out on my bed.

Scully: Mulder, what are you doing?

Mulder: I got bored.

Scully: Mulder…

Mulder: Hmmmm…

Scully: I need to get dressed…

Mulder: And?

He just shrugged it off and continued to lie on my bed. So I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom to finish getting ready. I changed into a pair of blue jean short and an emerald green t-shirt. I fixed my hair and my make-up then went back out into the room finding Mulder just as I had left him and put on my gym shoes.

Mulder: (Finally sitting up) Hey so what's the plans for today?

Scully: I don't have any plans…why?

Mulder: OK, Scully, pick A or B

Scully: What? Mulder…

Mulder: Come on Scully, just pick one.

Scully: Fine A, now what are you going on about?

Mulder: Grab your purse… no better yet leave it and just grab your I.D.

I put my badge into my back pocket, grabbed a thing of lip-gloss and some money and was practically dragged outside by a very excited Mulder. After driving for a while, I finally ask…

Scully: Mulder, where are we going?

Mulder: Scully baby, we're going to Hollywood!

Scully: Mulder…

Mulder: Yea Scully?

Scully: Don't call me baby.

By this time, we have arrived at Hollywood Blvd. and parked the car so we got out and Mulder came up close behind me, leaned up really close to my ear and whispered…

Mulder: Why not … Baby… (I simply glared at him and he put his arm around me as a familiar girl comes towards us)

Girl: Well oh my God, if it isn't little Dee Dee Scully…

Scully: Well, Well, Well, its little Nicky Saunders (we hug) So what have you been doing since High School?

Nicky: I cam out here and started modeling. How about you Dee Dee?

Scully: (I pulled out my badge and showed her) I became Special Agent Dr. Dana Scully of the FBI.

Nicky: No shit… so it really is you that Jakes seeing.

Scully: Jake?

Nicky: oh that's right I almost forgot your 'his girl' so you would know him as Ryan Jacobs. But this tall dark and gorgeous man doesn't look like Jake at all… (Checking Mulder out)

Scully: Oh right, this is Special Agent Fox Mulder he's my partner at the Bureau. Mulder this is Nicol Saunders, she was my best friend Junior and Senior years of high school.

Mulder: (Shaking her hand) Hi Nice to meet you.

Nicky: Well hello Foxy… (I grabbed her arm and glared at her)

Scully: Nicky… Sweetie… hates being called Fox.

Nicky: Oh, of course… sorry Dee Dee didn't realize I was stepping on any toes here…

I start to protest but Mulder just step behind me wrapping his arms around my waist.

Mulder: Don't worry we try to keep it quiet.

I just turned me head up towards him shocked and that's when he bent down and kissed me full on the lips and I just wanted to melt into him. And that is when Nicky coughed and brought us back to reality.

Scully: Sorry Nick… what were you saying?

Nicky: I was just asking about Jake…

Scully: (Still looking at Mulder) Who?

Nicky: Ryan…

Scully: Oh ummm… we're friends, we went out once and we're having lunch tomorrow and dinner Friday.

Nicky: Oh, Really? And he knows about your partner here?

Mulder: No, no we, me and Dana here have a very open relationship.

Scully: You wont say anything will you Nicky?

Nicky: Of course not Dee… butt… please just be careful. Jake has a very mean temper.

Mulder: What do you mean? He wont hurt her will he?

Nicky: I don't think so, he really seems to like you Dee… he never tells us about the people he's dating, but if he finds out about Fox… sorry Mulder… well who knows… so be careful. Anyways I have to get back to work before Jake flips out on me. Take care Dee Dee. Nice to meet you Mulder.

we hug good-bye and promised to get together before we leave for home the she takes off.

Mulder: So do I get to call you 'Dee Dee?

Scully: What the hell was that Mulder?

Mulder: I was under the impression that 'that' was your friend Nicky (I slapped his arm)

Scully: You know damn well what I'm talking about Mulder!

Mulder: Oh right about the kiss…

Scully: No… why did you tell her we have an open relationship?

Mulder: Would you rather a closed relationship?

Scully: Mulder, could you please be serious?! You flat-out lied to Nicky and made me look like a floozy.

Mulder: Scully, nothing could ever make you look like a 'floozy'… besides you explained to her that you and that Ryan guy are just friends, or are you implying that that was a lie?

Scully: No! that wasn't a lie. You're the one that lied.

Mulder: I don't call it lying, I call it wishful thinking. (he said all of this under his breath but I still heard him and chose to ignore it) Look Scully I'm sorry. I promise to behave from now on. Please forgive me. (he's doing the whole puppy dog eye thing so how can I possibly stay mad at him?)

Scully: alright, Mulder, your forgiven…this time. Now let's head back to the hotel.

Mulder: What?! Why?! I thought we were going to do touristy things…

Scully: Fine stay here and I'll catch a cab back…

Mulder: No way! Last time I let you do that you came back with a date.

Scully: Well I have research I have to do before lunch tomorrow.

Mulder: Research? what kind of research?

Scully: What Nicky said today really got me thinking. She's never been afraid of anything, I mean she's a black belt after all, and she knows how to take care of herself. But she was really afraid of Ryan. I could see the fear in her eyes.

Mulder: So you want to find out more about this Ryan guy… OK I'm in let's go.

So we went back to the hotel unordered room service. Mulder got on his phone and called The Lone Gunmen and I got on my computer to do some searches. We spent the rest of the day on the phone and on the computer hoping to find something on this guy but he was clean. Too clean. We couldn't find anything on him except that he was a professional male model, then started his own modeling agency where Nicky was one of his models. no traffic tickets, no bad press, nothing. We still hadn't come up with anything when 10:30 rolled around so we decided to just call it a night. We ate the rest of our dinner and ended up falling asleep on my bed watching Signs.
