Disclaimer- All I own of the X-Files are the nine DVD boxsets, Mulder and Scully belong only to each other.
Notes- Short Mulder POV about what happened in Fight the Future.
REALITY CHECK
When I think about all that has happened since the X Files were closed, I am thankful for one thing.
When I think about all that has happened these past five years, I am thankful for one thing.
Scully.
She will never let me get too carried away with my bizarre theories. No matter where my mind is, beyond the fiery rings of Saturn, or searching for life on Mars, she can always bring me back to earth again.
"Mulder, that's impossible.""Mulder, it's science-fictional.", or the most popular "Mulder, you're nuts"
She told me that she sometimes feels that she is holding me back, stopping me from finding the truth, but she has saved me, always.
Her rationalism and strict need for substantial evidence and proof has always brought me back to reality.
If it wasn't for her, I'd be so consumed by my ideas that I'd either be dead, or insane.
I to her to "Go be a doctor, while you still can."
But I think we both know now that "A Normal Life" is not possible for either us, not now, after what we've seen.
She is my strength, my stability, and I think that deep down, I am her soul.
I stop her from believing only in hard science, and I have opened her eyes to the extreme possibilities that new rules could apply.
Our passions are different.
But they are strong passions.
Extraterrestrials and scientific knowledge. We could not be more different.
But it doesn't drive us apart. It keeps us together.
We need each other, we both know it. We always will.
Everyday, I think about what could have happened if the bee hadn't stung her.
It haunts me, what we could have had.
But we can still have it.
I know, that someday, we will overcome these obstacles, and we will be together.
When the time is right.
The End.
