"You bought me a present?" Mulder's joy reminded her of a little kid's, making Dana smile. "What's the occasion?"

"I saw it, it spoke to me." She shrugged.

"Spoke to you? It actually said, 'Buy me for Mulder'?" He shook the box, disappointed it didn't rattle so much as it flooped. "What is it?"

"Why don't you open it and find out?"

"But I wanna guess," Mulder whined, pressing the box against his forehead for a minute. "It's a...a...t-shirt."

Dana made a buzzer sound. "Try again or open."

Mulder answered her by destroying the wrapping paper, lifting the lid to peer inside. "Scully."

"Yes, Mulder?"

He pulled out the mousepad with the Ouiji board design on it. "You shouldn't have."

"But it needed to belong to you."

"You're not worried about having it in our house? About bringing in the devil? About a gateway to seances and ooga-booga stuff?"

Dana patted him on the head. "That's why I have you, Mulder, you'll make sure nothing weirder than you ever happens here."
