Disclaimer: The beginning of this story belongs to Gillian Anderson, the characters belong to Chris Cater & the rest belongs to me!
I was watching Never Again the other day & felt the story didn't really finish so I thought I would jot down how I feel it should finish. Hope you enjoy it. Please review!
Never Again: Part II
AGENT'S MULDER & SCULLY'S BASEMENT OFFICE
FBI HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTON DC
"So.... All this, because I've ... because I didn't get you a desk? "
Scully looks up at him. "Not everything is about you, Mulder. This is my life. "
"Yes but its m...."
Scully looks at him questioningly. Mulder starts to speak again, then sighs and fiddles with things on his desk as an uncomfortable silence fills the room.
"Maybe I was looking for something more" Scully finally says breaking the silence.
"Looking for what?"
"I don't know, Mulder. My life, maybe" said Scully playing with the rose petal in her hand.
Mulder watches her for a moment sensing her unhappiness. "Scully I think you should take a break for a week or two….have a vacation….go find yourself. You've got a stack of holiday owed, I'm sure Skinner will be fine with it."
"Maybe your right" replied Scully still with the rose petal.
"I'm gonna get a coffee, want one?" asks Mulder getting to his feet.
Scully nods at him as he walks past her out of the office.
A short while later Mulder enters the office carrying the coffees.
"You know Scully I was thinking...." says Mulder suddenly stopping his sentence when he realises the office is empty.
As he puts the coffee cups on the desk her notices the note Scully has left the rose petal lying beside it.
Mulder,
You're right I need a break so I've gone to 'find myself'.
See you in two weeks.
Sorry about last week.
Dana
Mulder smiles to himself as he takes a sip of his coffee reaching for the phone to call Skinner.
