Chapter One

It had been 2 hours since Fox Mulder had left for Colorado, headed for a UFO convention, and his poor fish were hungry. Monica Reyes and Dana Scully decided to pop in and feed them.

"So, this is Mulder's place, eh?" Monica said as Scully closed the door.

"Yeah, what were you expecting? Posters of aliens all over the walls?"

"Well, sort of." Monica looked around, "Hmm, no pencils in the ceiling, very interesting…"

"Alright, there are his fish, let's feed 'em and get out of here so we can feed ourselves."

"Okey dokey,"

Scully made her way over to the fish tank, and dropped a couple of pellets in. "Okay, let's go—oh no…"

"What is it?"

"One of the fish is dead, crap, I'll take care of it and meet you in the car."

"No, I'll stay here." She smiled and sat down. Just then, she noticed that there was something under the couch. She bent over to get it.

"Alright, let's go!" Announced Scully, walking back into the room.

Agent Reyes read the cover of the book it read as follows:

Fox Mulder's PRIVATE Journal

KEEP OUT!

"What's that?" Scully asked, nodding to the journal.

"'Fox Mulder's PRIVATE Journal…KEEP OUT!' Did you know Mulder kept a diary?"

"It's not a diary, it says it's a journal. Anyway, put it back and let's go."

"No way Hose'." Monica said, shaking her head, "Don't you wanna see what's in it?"

"Not particularly, no."

"Why not?"

"It's rude, I mean, how would you feel if someone read your diary?"

"So you agree, it's a diary."

"Monica! Just put it back, and let's go, I'm starving!"

"Not so fast, cowgirl. I wanna see what's in it!"

"It says 'Fox Mulder's PRIVATE Journal…KEEP OUT'!"

"And your point being….?" She raised her eyebrows.

"That-that it's Mulder's Private Diary, and you should Keep Out!" Scully stuttered.

"Oh please." Agent Reyes began to open it.

"Monica! If you open that! You'll have to pay for lunch!"

"Okay, fine, if you'll stop your tizzy fit, let's go."

"Fine! Put it back!"

"Okay, okay…no need to defend your boyfriend…"

"MULDER IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Scully yelled, and even the fish covered their ears.

"Sure, whatever,"

"Monica, I am so mad at you right now!"

"Sorry, I said I was sorry! And I'll pay for lunch." She told Scully. What she didn't tell her was that she had slipped the book into her purse before they left.
