We never really found out if they went by the Liberty Bell or not. Mulder was talking like he intended to go, and he was driving, so I guess they did.
Even as a shipper, I will reluctantly agree that in the first season Mulder and Scully seemed to have more or a sibling-like relationship than anything even remotely resembling a romantic attraction to each other. I kind of alluded to this in my response to the "Puppet Masters" post on the GD board.
One thing we know now -- which we didn't know in the early eps -- was that Mulder and Scully had *both* been burned by becoming "involved" with other agents (Scully with Jack Willis and Mulder with Fowl Thing); that probably would have increased their reluctance to think of their new partner in romantic terms, no matter how sexy she/he was.
I don't think the initial platonic nature of their relationship in any way invalidates the fact that they later became "partners" in the romantic/sexual sense of the word. My sister's husband is also my brother's best friend and I know my sis and brother-in-law thought of each other as "just friends" for a *LONG* time before they became romantically involved.
