Part 1. Feb. 14th, 7:37am
Mulder open the door to his office and saw that his lights were on, confused he walked to his desk and dropped his keys. "Did I leave the lights on? Skinner is going to kill me if he finds out." He whisper to himself, the electricity bill for the basement office was high due to him leaving everything on when he left, so Skinner brought that problem up and told Mulder to start turning the lights off or he is going to pay for it.
Agent Mulder turned around and jumped of the appearance of his sleepy partner on her desk. Her head was on the desk with her hair spread everywhere. "Did I leave you here yesterday?" he whispered again. He left work as usual but Scully stayed late to finish some stuff yesterday and finding her here this early made him wonder if she felled asleep and didn't go home.
He made some coffee and as he walked back in the office but was stopped by the FBI's mail carrier. "Here you go Agent Mulder and can you give this to Agent Scully?"
"Sure," the mail carrier left Mulder with at least 10 different letters on his hands and box of chocolate and flowers. Trying to get to his desk without dropping something was a challenge that he tried not to fail but it did. He dropped all the letters on the floor but decided to get them later. Mulder placed the coffee cups, flowers and chocolate box on his desk and walked back to the door to pick up the letters he dropped. He looked through them as he walked to his chair, "Ah, Scully has three Valentine's Day cards." Then he looked to see who the flowers were for. Scully. The chocolate box? Scully. Mulder stood up again and walked to Scully's desk and placed her stuff down, then went back to get the coffee cups and tried to wake her up.
"Scully? Wake up." He shook her and she came to reality. Scully saw Valentine's flowers and chocolate, she had a puzzle look. Mulder chuckled to himself.
"It's Valentine's Day, Scully."
"I know but who send them?" she looked up to Mulder, he shrugged.
"Don't know they were just delivered by the mail carrier." Mulder gaved her the letters and a cup of coffee, she had a sad expression when she saw the letters.
"I missed the carrier?"
"Yup, not by much. Why? You have a little something for him?"
"No…" She looked through her letters while Mulder walked back to his desk and turned his computer on. "Man, I missed him." Scully whispered to herself.
"You said something?" Mulder asked looking from the screen.
"No," Scully opened her letters and after reading every letter and starts eating her chocolates she stood up and walked to her partner's desk. "So, who send you the letters?"
"I dunno. People? Fellow female agents probably. They always do,"
"Who?"
"Agents Smith, Lawrence, Brown, Power, uh… Kimberly the Assistant Director's assistant. Also maybe Agents Hall, and Michelle." As he stated the names of the female agents Scully looked through his mail and was surprise to finds all the letters belong to each of the agents he mention.
"So, am I right?" Mulder questioned without looking up from his screen.
"Yes, but maybe you already had seen them."
"Not quiet, they always send me letters on Valentine's Day." Mulder reached down to his second drawer of his desk and took out bunch of letters that were tied by a rubber band, "Checked it out. I keep them." He handed the letters to Scully, she looked through them.
"You keep them? But don't open them?" She asked, "Ever thought that maybe there might be something important like money or a gift card?"
"You're right! Give them to me!!!" He quickly stole them back and started to open his letters even the ones from last year and year before. Scully went back to her desk and looked at her stuff.
While she was straightning her desk she could hear Mulder complaining about the absences of money on the cards. "Agent Power made reservations for us last year at the 4 star Italian restaurant. Since I never opened it I didn't show, hey maybe that's the reason she spilled coffee on me the next day after Valentine's Day." Mulder came to a conclusion then he flinch as he remember the hot coffee been spilled at him that day.
"Mulder, here you go. Happy Valentine's day." Scully handed Mulder a card, he looked at it and smiled.
"Does it contain money or a gift card?"
"No," With that response Mulder just looked at it then just threw it on his desk not taking interest on it. Scully had a hurt look.
"Just kidding. Thank you." He picked it up and opened it.
11:57 am
Mulder and Scully walked out of AD Skinner's office. He had talked to them about attending to tonight's dance. All the agents were invited and Skinner wanted to see them there.
"It's punishment!" Mulder yelled as him and Scully got on the elevator. "I hate those things!"
"You attended to them before?" Scully pushed the button to go to the main level.
"Yes, two times. They were not my thing."
"Well, I'm going since I have nothing else to do tonight."
"Really?" Mulder stopped banging his head.
"Yes, so what are we going to get, hotdogs or burgers?"
"Hotdogs!" he started to get excited like a little five year old kid going to buy ice cream.
