Scully's Appt. 6:05 P.M.

    "Mom! I do not want you fixing me up on a date!" Scully practically shouted into the phone. "You know I hate blind dates. Don't do this to me!" she pleaded

   Mrs. Scully didn't give in. "Listen, Dana, it's been ages since you've been on a date...or with a man. No use arguing with me!" Mrs. Scully replied with firm gentlness.

   Dana sighed. "But.....Mulder might want to go over the case files...." Dana tried to wiggle free.

   "No. Honey, you need to get out some more. Be ready to leave at 8:00 sharpe. Your date will pick you up then. Oh and Dana...dress up! A little black dress could do no harm..." Mrs. Scully's voice died with a click. Dana hung up the phone, feeling like a trapped rabbit.  Escape? Not Likely!


7:51 P.M.

   Dana emerged from her bed room. She decided to wear a sleeveless pale pink mini-dress with matching high-heels. Lord knows why she decided to wear-in her opinion-a very risky outfit. Scully even curled her cherry red hair. The soft, spiraling tendrils framed her high cheekbones.

   At exactly 8:00, someone knocked on her door.

    The tall blonde haired hunk introduced himself as "Brent." Brent told Scully about his life.....a football player that graduated from Ohio State with a degree in accounting.

9:35
Pierre's Restaurant

  At the swanky French restaurant Scully and Brent carried on a light conversation. The handsome accountant seemed nice enough, but something about him unnerved Scully.

    "Would you like to go for a moon lit stroll in the park before I take you home?" Brent asked as he tipped the maite'd and paid the bill.

   "I'd love to." Scully replied A moonlit stroll sounded fantastic.

10:15 P.M.
Stoney Park

    A full moon kissed the serene scenery with a silvery glow. Like whispering children, a breeze gently rustled the tree leaves. The two chatted and stopped at a large, marble fountain. Brent sat down and urged Scully nearer to him.

   "I've really enjoyed tonight." Brent smiled, putting a hand on Scully's thigh. Instantly, alarm bells went off in her mind. As Brent bent forward to kiss her, Scully pushed him away.

   "What's wrong, Baby? You know you want me to kiss you." Brent replied, his voice harsh.

   "No, You're rushing things," Scully said as she struggled against his iron grasp. "No!" Brent became too aggressive.

  "Get your hands off of her!" a husky male voice roared from nowhere. The angry stranger picked Brent up by the collar and punched him into next Thursday. Unconcious, Brent flopped into the fountain.

   Scully was so terrified, she shook violently.

  The tall stranget was wearing jeans and a black leather jacket. Her savior turned to face her...revealing the face of Fox Mulder.

  "Mulder?!" Scully squeaked, tears welling in her eyes. His face softened and she ran into his strong arms.

  "Oh Mulder, I knew something was wrong the moment I met him...I'm so glad you came. By the way...how did you..." Scully began, but Mulder interupted.

  "I like to take late night walks." Mulder replied. He held her tightly. Scully felt safe...so safe and protected. Gingerly, Mulder draped his jacket over Scully's tiny shoulders.

  "Lets go to my place for some coffee." he suggested and Scully nodded.

11:45 p.m.
Mulder's Apt.

   Mulder gave Scully one of his knicks sweat shirts to wear over her dress to keep warm.  He thought she looked extremely sexy wearing his sweatshirt with a pink mini dress. Scully threw off her high heels and joined Mulder on the couch.

10 minutes later...

"Hey Scully..." Mulder addressed his partner, but got no response. In a sleepy trance, Scully snuggled against him.

Not wanting to wake her, Mulder adjusted himself so that they were laying together on the couch. For the first time in 25 years, Mulderr slept peacefully, the nightmares faded away. Sleeping soundly, Mulder droped an arm protectively over the sleeping agent Scully.

Meanwhile...

  "So...did she buy the act? Uh-huh. Really?! Brent, you're such an angel! Thank you SO much for helping Mulder and me in that charade. Bye bye."
Mrs. Scully smiled knowingly. It was only a matter of time now...
