So I cry sometimes when I'm Lying in bed

Just to get it all out what's in my head

Am I, really peculiar

And I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath

And I get real high

And I scream at the top of my lungs

What's going on?

-Four Non Blondes

To his credit he really was trying to work, not the usual paperwork dodging, web surfing, but actual paperwork. Oh well he thought as the short red head peered at him from under one raised eyebrow, it was good while it lasted.

"Mulder, what the hell are you doing?" she asked in her usual incredulous tone.

"I ah, that is I- would you believe I am doing work?" he finally flustered out.

"MmmmmHmm,"" she acquiesced and plopped herself hard into her desk chair" I don't know Mulder, first you're doing work next thing a spaceship will land"

"Do not finish that statement Scully," He mocked seriousness.

They had been cooped up in their basement surroundings for over a month, no cases became the mantra it had a bad beat and no you could not dance to it.

"I'm outta here, " she finally said slamming short high heeled feet onto the floor simultaneously," If it gets any more boring around here I am gonna have to find a fourth reason to have my name in those damn files and I can tell ya Mulder, it AIN'T gonna be without dragging your sorry ass with me this time." She grinned grabbing him by the lapels.

"Wait, I'm coming too, maybe this time I can take a couple of those bastards out with me!'

They walked out of the Hoover building and into the hot summer sun that enveloped all of DC like a sauna gone out of control. He escorted her through the parking lot, hand resting surely on the small of her back.

"Mulder," she mused as she opened her car door, mildly gagging from the overpowering heat within," you ever think that normal people are out there, living lives going on with their existence, paying bills going to Wal-Mart…"

"You hate Wal-Mart Scully, it gives you hives " He grinned not sure where this impromptu conversation was headed. Or maybe all too sure…

"That's not the point here Mulder, and I don't know if I can explain it. When I first started on the X-files, I used to get up before the alarm went off, the more intense the case, the earlier I was up. Lately, I don't know, lately I haven't had a reason to not hit the snooze alarm, roll over and go back to sleep. Maybe that is the real truth that is out there Mulder, not endlessly chasing windmills, but chasing dandelions off your front lawn, or chasing kids into the house finally on days like this. Maybe the Truth that we have been searching for that has eluded us for so long is that, maybe that is why we never get anywhere near it." A sad smile crossed her full lips as she placed her sunglasses on her perfect face and popped on the radio. "See ya later Mulder."

He didn't know what to say to her, so he stood in the soft afternoon sun darting between the posts of the FBI parking garage, dazed and a little unsure of, of what? He watched her drive off in her car, pointed towards home. He knew what she meant, knew what she wanted and the cold hard facts of their lives. or in this case the lack there of. He tried to tell himself that she was just bored, it had been a long time since they had had a blood pumping battle for life and death with alien bounty hunters, or had a late night visit or abduction. Yeah that's it he thought as he placed his car into first gear and headed off towards home. She'll take a hot bath, and a stiff drink and watch Miss Congeniality again and then she will be his Scully again, did he just think that out loud?
