Title: Can You Guess?

Disclaimer: All characters belong to 1013 productions and the freakish little imp Chris Carter. I'm sure that Maury belongs to himself. The other characters that seem unfamiliar probably are because I made them up.

Rating: PG 13

Noromo Warning: This is indeed a shipper story so if you don't enjoy what the rest of the world does then you'd better high tail it out of here.

Dedication: This is to my sister Christine who is a Master at Arms in the United States Navy! That is because I got the idea for it when we went to visit her in Chicago! Plus, you know, she rocks!

Author's Note: This is my 2nd X-Files fan fiction. It's just a short thing that is not realistic at all but if you can get past that... it's fun... More serious/realistic ones to follow if you want...FEEDBACK!

"Why won't you tell me?" Mulder asked for the umpteenth time as he and Scully walked out of the basement office toward the elevator. "Because, I honestly don't know." Scully replied as she hit the up button. "All I now is that my mother told me that she wanted me to go meet her in Chicago this weekend. I don't know why, she won't tell me. She probably wants me to go see Jerry Springer or Maury. She gets a kick out of them."

Mulder tried rather unsuccessfully to hide his large smile. "Are you serious? She watches those guys? I saw a Springer when the theme was 'My Momma's a Stripper and She Stole my Man." Of course he said this is his very best pissed off homosexual voice. Scully chuckled. "You watched the whole thing, didn't you?" he replied, "Taped it, actually, quite the source of entertainment." Scully snorted, "Only shut-ins with no social lives find that show entertaining." "So how does that exclude me?" Mulder deadpanned. Scully sighed and they rode the elevator up in silence.

They reached the floor level and said their goodbyes. Scully promised to call once she got there safely, and headed home. She arrived at her apartment and began to pack for her unexpected trip. Scully found it odd that her mother had decided to have her join her but she would have felt guilty if she'd said no. She really had not been spending as much time with her mother as she would have liked and she missed their talks. While Scully was eating her dinner, the phone rang. Her mother said that Charlie was being sent to the great lakes to give a speech to the seamen recruits at boot camp graduation. It looked like he would be able to spend some time with them. Scully was elated and told her mother she would see her in 6 hours.

~~~~*~*~~~~ 8 hours and 32 minutes later Scully's plane landed in Midway airport outside Chicago. After an hour and a half rain delay and engine trouble, which of course assuaged ALL of her already giant plane fears, they finally took off and made some good time. Maggie greeted her at the gate with 2 excedrins and a hug. She told Scully with a pleased smile that "Fox" had called 5 times in the last 2 hours asking if she was there yet. Scully just shook her head at Mulder's usual obsessive over-protectiveness, and her mother's usual over-suggestiveness concerning the Mulder Situation. That was what she had taken to calling it. The Situation. She didn't know what else would fit. Relationship? Not in the widely accepted definition of that term- no. (hmm) Fiasco? No- it wasn't that crazy. Friend? Too Platonic- but yet not more so. Confused, yes- hell yes- a confused situation, that works. By now she was staring into space and Maggie was waving her hand in front of her face. "What? Oh sorry, I zoned out, must be the Jet lag." Maggie smirked "Dana honey, you have only crossed one time zone." She left Scully and walked ahead knowing what was in store for her vacation.
