I'm having her in Chilmark near the Mulder
family. This takes place a year before the
events of Samantha's disappearance. It hints
at the abduction itself and a certain hallway
scene in a certain movie.

Samantha and Dana to help him. Of course,
that's not all he finds out...

CHRISTMAS FUN
Written by: Erin M. Blair

Mulder Residence
Chilmark, MA
December 24, 1972

"Fox, tomorrow's Christmas!!" Samantha Mulder
exclaimed, as her long brown hair was bouncing
off her shoulders. She was only seven years old,
and loved outdoor activities. She loved running,
jumping rope, and playing softball with her close
friend, Dana Scully.

Of course, the outdoor activities wasn't the
only thing that both Samantha and Dana liked.

It was playing with Barbie dolls and driving
Fox up a wall.

"I know that," Fox Mulder said, tiredly.

"Are you really going to find out what your
getting for Christmas?"

"Yes, I am."

"Mom and Dad aren't going to like it."

"So?"

"They'll be upset," Samantha said, with
a frown.

"I don't care," Fox said, with a sigh. He
paused. "Are you going to help me?"

"I can't. I'm playing with Dana. We're going
to play with her Barbie dolls." She
paused. "Then, we're going to play handball."

Fox nodded. "That sounds like fun..."

"I know."

"Except for the doll part."

It was twenty five minutes later, and Samantha
hurried to get the door before Fox does. "I'll
get it, buttmunch!"

"No, you don't, Sammy!"

Mrs. Mulder saw her two children fighting over
who was going to answer the door, and she decided
to open it. There stood Dana. She knew that  "Hi
Dana." She paused, turning around slightly. She saw
Samantha and Fox standing in the back of her. "Come
right in."

"Hi Dana!" Samantha exclaimed, as she led Dana into
the house.

"Thank you," Dana said, with a smile. "Hi Samantha.
Fox."

"We're gonna play with your new doll, right?"

"Yes," Dana said, as she patted the Barbie doll.
Barbie was dressed in a long, pink ball gown and
her blonde hair was piled up on top of her head
in curls. She took the doll out of her tote bag,
and showed it to Samantha. "See?"

Samantha took the doll, and she watched her brother
run out of the room making gagging sounds. She rolled
her eyes and frowned. "Fox hates Barbies except for GI Joes
and Star Trek action figures."

"Does he hate Ken?"

Samantha nodded. "Yes, he does."

"I don't like Ken either..."

She watched her brother re-enter the living room. "What
do you want, buttmunch?"

"I...was wondering..."

"Wondering what?"

"I want to know what Mom and Dad got me for
Christmas!"

"Fox, you're weird. Mom and Dad will *kill* you
if you do!"

"If you don't want to go, then Dana will come
with me," Fox said, as he gave Dana his famous
puppy dog expression. "Please, Dana?"

"Dana, say no," Samantha said, with a sigh.
"Don't do it."

Dana looked at Samantha and Fox, and she
drew a sigh. It was against her beliefs
to sneak at the Christmas presents, but
she couldn't resist Fox's puppy dog expression.
It gets her every single time. "OK, I'll go."

"You won't be sorry, Dana."

"I'm sure that I'll be," Dana said. She watched
Fox grab some flashlights. "What are you getting?"

"Flashlights. We'll need 'em."

"Oh."

"Come on," Fox said, as he gently put his hand on
the small of her back. He blushed a bit, and then,
he recovered quickly as her blue eyes stared at
him in wonderment.

"I'm coming," Dana said, as she entered the room.
It was a huge master bedroom. "Is this where your
parents sleep?"

Fox nodded. "Yes." He watched Dana open up the
closet door. "Great, Scully!"

"Scully?" Dana asked.

"I don't know why I called you that... It just
popped into my mind. You can call me 'Mulder'
if you want."

"Fine, Mulder. Let's go look at what you're
getting this year..."

Fox looked at the shopping bags, and looked
through them. He saw a board game. "Hey,
Scully, look what I found."

"Stretego. Who's getting that?"

"Samantha. It was on her list. Not mine."

"That sounds like fun. Missy and I have it,
and we love it."

"I hope so," Fox said, with a whisper. He
looked at the same shopping bag. He gave
an excited yell.

"Not so loud, Fox!"

"I'm getting a basketball jersey! I always
wanted one of those."

"Now that you know, Fox. Let's get out of
here."

Fox nodded. "You're right."

They were now in the hallway, and they
looked at each other. Mistletoe was
under them, and Fox knew what that means.
His lips were getting closer to hers,
and he could her mouth on his. Their lips
were grazing each other's lips until Dana heard
Samantha. "Samantha calls." Her face was
flushed from their new kiss, and she wasn't
sure what it meant.

"Will I see you again, Scully?"

Dana nodded. He knew that she was moving to
Annapolis, Maryland next week.

"We'll see each other. I know we will." He
paused. "Scully?"

"Yes?"

"When we see each other, I want us to be
married."

"Married?"

Fox nodded. "Yes." He paused. "Think of it
as my Christmas gift to you."

FBI Building
X-Files Basement Office
December 1992

Mulder was looking at some photos of
Samantha and himself on his last
Christmas day with her. His hazel eyes
was teary when he looked up to see
Scully. "How long were you standing
there?"

"Long enough to see you looking at
Samantha," Scully said, with a sigh.
"Mulder, when was this taken?"

"December 25, 1972. Why?"

"That was my last day in Chilmark."

"You lived in Chilmark? For how long?"

"A year and a half," Scully said, with
a sigh.

"I remember you. You were such a tomboy,"
Mulder said, with a wistful smile. "I
remember how much fun you used to have
with Samantha. Christmas wasn't the same
when both of you left."

"And now?"

"It's the happiest time of my life," Mulder
said, with a smile. "I'm glad we met again."

"So do I."

"Do you want us to marry, Mulder?"

"I can't believe you remember our Christmas
gift, Scully. We'll marry, but not yet. We
need to search for the truth, or at least,
part of the truth before we marry."

"Cold feet?" Scully teased.

"No. No, our future. Something tells me
that we're going to be busy for quite some
time. Scully?"

"Yes?"

"We're gonna marry someday. I know we
will."
