'what do you mean you lost him?'Mulder paced the floor.

'I lost him Mulder what do you think I mean?'

'did you search the lost and found counter or the dogpound to see if he strayed there?'

'dont get rhetorical with me Mulder,your lucky I did it in the first place'

'you know that one man show of lets make fun of Mulder really needs new material Scully'

'oh Mulder I'm tired,my feet kill and I've been playing Rambo all day so give me a break please'

as always Mulder couldnt resist her childish pout,'I can do better than that,I can give you a neck massage'

'wait your not going to try and guillotine me again are you cause you remember I couldnt sleep with a pillow for a week'

'it wasnt a complete loss I had 2 pillows that week'

'you know if I didnt know any better I'd say you planned it all along for your comfort'

'alright shut up and turn around woman, besides I've been practicing'

suddenly Scully seemed alert,'on who exactly?'

Mulder couldnt quite believe that Scully after so many years of being together still felt insecure about being unattractive to Mulder even though he clearly cherished every day with her and the love showed it was a gleam in his eye after they made love at in the simple act of brushing back a strand of her auburn hair blemishing her beautiful never got the chance to tell her of his routine every day of watching her while she slept just for half an indicator that she was about to wake was the involuntary scrunching of her nose which only made her look more youthful and cute.

Scully fell into a deep sleep after her 'action-packed day'!

But she didnt get a peaceful nights sleep instead her dreams were filled with questions and the mystery surrounding the boy she had met with an undertone of ambiguity that left her confused and couldnt shake the feeling that she knew him somehow like a blurry face you cant quite recall from a dream the next day,she couldnt place she planned to go to the park again.

Scully felt the short shorts and tank top suitable for the glaring was no light wind today but Scully still felt a physical chill at the thought of meeting the boy again.

Her conscience questioned whether she were becoming too obssessed with this whole situation but she decided to tell it off for the moment.

Liam was with his father today it seemed so she felt safe that she wouldnt be branded a stalker by his mother.

His maroon eyes had somehow scanned her out even though dhe was behind a young couple and their daughter.

His grin reached his ears as he ran to her leaving his father at the swings.

'hello again miss Scully no coffee today'

he motioned at her empty hand,'oh I dont think its safe for me to brandish a coffee mug anymore dangerous weapon you know in the wrong hands'

he smiled at her,a smile that melted her heart 'and please Liam just call me Scully,thats the name my friends use'

catching her meaning his eyes sparkled 'well as your friend I must inform you that your jokes are getting better'

'why thank you,you know my partner compared me to cheese once,fine once its cooked at the right temperature but overdo it and its not nice,tasteless nearly'

for the first time since Scully met this boy he looked confuddled,'that comparison makes no sense'

'neither does my partner'

They both giggled at this in a familiar way,being young his pitch is a tone lighter than Scully's but perceptibly similar.

'hey buddy do you want an ice cream while you speak with this nice lady'he turns to Scully,'hello mam you must be the famous 'miss Scully' Liam has been talking bout'

'sorry yes hello,thats me'

Scully was already fond of his father pleasin and friendly and willing to give them space to chat unlike his mother who seemed all too overprotective now that she recalled yesterday.

Not in a motherly way either but more like a knight protecting the Crown jewels.

'sure dad thanks,would you like something Miss Scully?'

'oh no I'm fine thanks mr...'

'Banks'

'nice to meet you Mr Banks'

'you too Miss Scully'

as he left to fetch the ice-cream Liam decided he wanted to acquaint himself personally with Scully.

'miss Scully are you a physicist or scientist by any chance?'

'well actually your close,I'm a doctor at the local hospital,I work exclusively on new genetic engineering techniques to combat certain degenerative diseases'

'oh wow thats fascinating I knew you had to be a highly intelligent person fromt he way you spoke yesterday and the 'gravity joke'

Scully blushed at the memory.

'well I'm flattered but I had hoped I didnt bore you which seems to be the outcome in most cases'

an hour or two passed before Scully and Liam had exhausted every possible topic of conversation from her progress in her studies in genetic research to his aspirations and quite a memorandum of achievements imagined trophies and certificates lined the walls of their not of the sporting type either but academically.

'in eight years he had achieved so much she joked about it 'all going to his head' but he had replied that his feet were firmly planted and he always saw the line between fantasy and reality.

Liam had completely become enraptured by Scully's conversation that he barely noticed his father's presence.

'you know I think your the first Liam I've met'

'sorry to dissappoint you but you know Liam is just an abbreviation my full name is Willaim'

Scully suddenly went deaf or gained selective hearing either way she gagged.
