Physics, UFO's and Feelings (The X Files Alternate Universe)

Chapter 4

Scully's POV

Brad's Party

When Monica and I entered Brad's house, it was what I had expected, a room full of drunk teenagers, dancing, bouncing, kissing and God knows what these party people were doing.

"Okay," I took a deep breath "So far, so...loud, and what's that smell?" I swear I smelled cigarettes.

"Oh, will you please be a human sometimes, Dana? This is a high school party and this is California. What will you expect?" Monica said, without even looking at me because her eyes were searching for someone.

"You're looking for Brad, aren't you?" I asked.

"Yep! I want to tell him how cool his party is." She said, still looking left to right.

"We just got here, Monica. We haven't even moved a foot and we are still in the doorway." I said.

Then, finally, she looked at me.

"Dana Katherine Scully, keep calm and enjoy the party." She said then walked away.

"Hey! Where are you going?" I shouted.

Monica turned and said "To find Brad. I'll be back."

I can't believe she just left me. Now I think I need to go to the bathroom. Damn it, Monica! Sometimes when she gets excited she forgets her principles. Haist.

So as I ventured into this pool of drunk teens to find the bathroom I stumbled into one of Brad's football teammates, Chad. Taller and bigger than Brad. And great, he's drunk.

"Oh look what we have here," he said as he kept his balance. "Brad's crush." He chuckled as he said crush.

I pretended that I didn't hear him so I started to walk past him but he blocked my way.

"Cut it out Chad," I said sounding pissed

"Oooh the ice queen sounds pissed." He's still laughing like an idiot. "Why you're in a hurry pretty little redhead?" he was slowly walking towards me.

"Come on, Chad! You're drunk and I have to go to the bathroom."

"The bathroom eh? I thought girls like you like doing it in a clean bedroom."

"What?!" okay, now I'm shocked.

"Fine, If you want to go down and dirty then let's go to the bathroom." He said still walking closer to me.

I raised both my hands near my chest and said "Okay, this is getting uglier, you need to back off Chad, or else..."

"Or else what ice queen?" he's pulling the trigger. And because his face was inches near mine I punched him in his left jaw. "What the hell was that?!" I think I unleashed the beast. Well, he started it.

"You're going to pay for this you..." he was about to grab me, but a guy punched him where I punched him a minute ago. Now Chad was on the floor, rubbing his red jaw.

"Mulder?" I said in disbelief.

Chad immediately got up and punched Mulder right in the face.

"Oh my god! Stop it!" I tried to stop them but the two men were a lot stronger than me. Then Brad and his pals showed up from behind my back and immediately stopped the rumble.

"You!" Chad pointed at me and Mulder "You are going to pay for this!"

"Yeah. You should've picked your size, Chad." I had never seen Mulder this angry before since the day I met him.

Some of Brad's pals took Chad away. Then Brad came near me and said "I'm sorry about that Dana. What happened?"

"Well, your friend almost got Scully hurt or even worst raped," Mulder answered for me, he was still shaking not because of fear but because of anger. And looking at him like that made me feel like I'm some kind of important to him. This feeling again. It's so confusing.
