IDYLLIC MOMENT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
She was beautiful, he could think of no other way to express
|
|
it. She sat on the blanket her dark blue sun dress a brilliant
|
|
offset to the deep green of the grass. Mulder watched her smile
|
|
at him.
|
|
|
|
That smile always gave him a warm comfortable shiver up his
|
|
spine. It wasn't often Scully smiled, really smiled, lips wide
|
|
and bright white teeth. Once more Mulder felt that delirious
|
|
shiver of happiness. Grinning he sat down on the blanket and
|
|
began unpacking lunch.
|
|
|
|
The last 3 years had been rough on both of them. When the X-
|
|
Files had been closed Mulder began to struggle. The two most
|
|
important things in his life had been ripped away. Dana and his
|
|
faith.
|
|
|
|
Mulder never needed a religion. From the time he was 12 he
|
|
KNEW what be believed! Mulder had conviction and determination
|
|
that would rival and humble the most devote religious fanatic. It
|
|
was a simple belief wrapped in deep dark secret and mystery. It
|
|
was every bit as intangible as God. Mulder wanted to believe! He
|
|
needed to believe.
|
|
|
|
It was all Mulder really cared about. Deep down, hidden away
|
|
from the light in Mulder's soul was a quest for his sister, a
|
|
never ending quest and Mulder had dedicated his life to
|
|
believing.
|
|
|
|
He had relationships in the past. They were thin and flimsy,
|
|
almost like following a script. They never lasted and really
|
|
never seemed to be worthwhile. It always hurt in the end.
|
|
Relationships seemed to have a built in inevatabilty about them.
|
|
Doomed to failure? Mulder was sure until he met Scully.
|
|
|
|
She was his baby sitter. She was there to keep an eye on
|
|
"Spooky" Mulder and Mulder resented it. He didn't need or want a
|
|
"partner." He knew that she would be a millstone around his neck.
|
|
Over the course of their adventures together something built
|
|
between he and Scully. It was deeper then friendship and more
|
|
then trust, maybe it was respect? Mulder wasn't sure. But he
|
|
valued what they had more then life and when it was taken away.
|
|
What could he say, he had no proof of aliens and the only person
|
|
in the world that meant anything to him was gone.
|
|
|
|
Life was hurting pretty bad at that point. Mulder was
|
|
staggering. He turned off from the world outside him and got
|
|
depressed. Then one day in his "office," the picture of samantha
|
|
he kept on his desk was turned down. He went to meet Scully.
|
|
|
|
He was too far gone to appreciate her effort. She tried to
|
|
bring him out into the light. Deep inside he wanted to rant at
|
|
her!!! Explain that the hiding undercover crap was to protect
|
|
her... Mulder no longer cared about himself. Then just as she was
|
|
ready to leave and Mulder slumped against a post she ruffled his
|
|
hair. Something changed, Mulder felt something happen inside him.
|
|
He knew that he loved her. It was simple and stunning.
|
|
|
|
She came looking for him and found him in Puerto Rico when
|
|
he had run off in search of proof. She backed him and supported
|
|
him, she came to save him. She wasn't ordered, she wanted to help
|
|
him. It counted, nore then she would ever know, it counted to
|
|
Mulder.
|
|
|
|
It was very simple, he needed her! He leaned over, "I love
|
|
you Dana Scully!," and kissed those ruby lips, his heart began
|
|
rushing as it always did when he touched her.
|
|
|
|
"Mulder ... Mulder", Scully punched him on the arm again.
|
|
Mulder shook his head and started. "Huh, What!"
|
|
|
|
"Are you going to put in the other movie or shall we watch
|
|
the lovely static from blank tape?" Scully jabbed at her
|
|
partner, a faint smile playing at the edges of her mouth as she
|
|
waited for Mulder to jab back.
|
|
|
|
"Sorry Scully," A full smile on his face, "here I'll put the
|
|
other tape in; but I have to tell you. 'Sleepless in Seattle' is
|
|
a real bad followup to 'Humanoids From the Deep."
|
|
|
|
As he busied himself with the VCR Dana stared at his back.
|
|
"Mulder, what were you thinking about? I don't think I have ever
|
|
seen you with that large smile on your face."
|
|
|
|
"It was just a little daydream, swee- ... Da- .. Scully"
|
|
Mulder couldn't clear the smile from his face. So he just looked
|
|
at the VCR for awhile longer.
