The Beatles Files: "Twist and Shout"
by Christina Shuy

	"Yes, Scully.I am in love with you.  It's taken me several years 
to realise it, but I love you."
	Dana's smile, the one which lit up her entire being, was all the
answer Mulder needed.
	He leaned in closer, whispered "I love you" into her ear and then
kissed her. 
	"And now, to finish up this set of Beatles music, the song 
following 'Do You Want to Know a Secret' on their _Please Please Me_ 
album, here is 'Twist and Shout'." The DJ announced.

  "Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
   Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
   C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now, (come on baby)
   Come on and work it on out. (work it on out)"
   
	Mulder broke the kiss and then smiled at Scully.

  "Well, work it on out, honey. (work it on out)
   You know you look so good. (look so good)
   You know you got me goin', now, (got me goin')
   Just like I knew you would. (like I knew you would)"
   
	"Wanna dance, Mulder?" Scully asked.
	"Sure!"
	They both got to their feet and started dancing to the music.  
Scully was actually somewhat amazed that Mulder knew how to dance.
	"I didn't know you knew how..."
	"Yeah, well... I didn't know you were a Beatles fan either, Scully."

  "Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
   Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
   C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now, (come on baby)
   Come on and work it on out. (work it on out)

	Mulder swept Scully into his arms and then dipped her, causing a 
peal of startled laughter.
   
   You know you twist your little girl, (twist, little girl)
   You know you twist so fine. (twist so fine)
   Come on and twist a little closer, now, (twist a little closer)
   And let me know that you're mine. (let me know you're mine)"
   
   Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
   Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
   C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now, (come on baby)
   Come on and work it on out. (work it on out)
   
   You know you twist your little girl, (twist, little girl)
   You know you twist so fine. (twist so fine)
   Come on and twist a little closer, now, (twist a little closer)
   And let me know that you're mine. (let me know you're mine)
   
   Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
   Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
   Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)"

	By the time the song ended, they were both breathless and 
laughing.  Scully reached tiredly over and turned down the volume on the 
radio again.
	Collapsing back onto the sofa, Mulder reached for both their 
glasses of iced tea, handing Scully her glass as well.
	"A toast.  To music, laughter, and love." Mulder smirked at his 
more-than-just-partner.
	"I'll drink to that.  And to everlasting friendship."
	"I love you, Mulder."
	"Love you too, Scully."
	Their glasses clinked, they drank deeply, and then collapsed into 
each others arms.
