Scully skidded to a halt outside Mulder's apartment door, breathless. Their fight earlier played over and over in her mind, guilt flooding through her as she imagined the various things that might be happening inside. She pounded on the door as she caught her breath, sides aching from running up the stairs.

The door opened, and Mulder appeared, looking calm and collected. Scully's hand was still raised, ready to knock. She dropped it as she lifted an eyebrow.

"No need to hurt the door, Scully."

"Mulder," she started, confusion and frustration in her voice. He wasn't upset at all. "Why did you tell me to get over here immediately?"

"I have something for you," he announced, opening the door wider for her to come in, ignoring the annoyance on her face. She marched in, still tired from her run up the stairs. In her hurry she had decided to forgo the elevator.

"What were you-" she stopped, taking in his living room. He had a keyboard near the sofa, and a ... microphone? She looked back at him, raising a suspicious eyebrow again.

"Sit down," he smiled, walking to the keyboard. He tested a few notes, and it sounded as if a grand piano were in its place. Perfect. He adjusted the mircophone so it was facing him properly. "Sit down, Scully," he insisted.

Cautiously she did so, wondering what he was planning.

"Ahem," he coughed, exaggerating the process of sitting up and shaking his fingers lose. To Scully's surprise, her partner began a soft, tinkling melody. And then, dear lord, then came the singing.

"Figuring out ... you and me is like... doing, a love autopsy. They could operate all day long ... and never figure out what went wrong..." Mulder took a deep breath to hold a long, airy "lo-o-ve autopsy...lo-o-ve autopsy...ahhhh...ahhh..ahhh...ahhh. What we-nt wrong..."

He looked up at Scully for a reaction. She looked blankly at him for a moment, before a small smile slowly spread across her face.

"Encore."
