Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Huh?" Mulder snapped awake from his dream. "It's open!" he yelled, pulling himself up into a sitting position on his couch.

The door opened and a huge cup of coffee walked into his apartment.

"Coffee!" Mulder exclaimed as he jumped up. He flung his arms out and ran up to the gigantic cup, giving it a big, enthusiastic bear hug.

"Mulder! What are you doing?!" barked a bewildered but gruff Skinner. "Let go of me!"

Hearing his superior's voice Mulder backed away. "Oh. Uh... Skinner, sir." He cleared his throat, embarrassed. "Uh, just kidding?"

"You made me forget what I was going to say."

"Uh, sorry, sir."

Skinner left, shaking his head.

Still slightly humiliated, Mulder returned to his couch and fell asleep again.

He dreamt that he was working at a coffee shop. Then he woke up feeling that he needed a coffee break.

While Mulder had been sleeping, Scully had come into his apartment hoping to get some work done on their latest x-file. Seeing that he was sleeping, she wandered into the kitchen. She was hidden behind his counter when Mulder ambled in to grab his coffee. As he reached the mug, Scully popped up and *SLAP!!*

"Ahhhh!" he yelped.

"What do you think you're doing?" Scully asked him, upset.

"What?!" Mulder exclaimed, his hand still resting on his stinging cheek.

"What kind of person takes coffee breaks during naps!?"

"Sorry?" Mulder offered weakly. Scully left the apartment in a huff.

With his cheek still stinging, Mulder retreated back to his couch hoping to return to dreamland again. But he couldn't. Scully was right. Coffee breaks and naps don't mix.
