J. Edgar Hoover Building (basement office) 10:45 am, Friday

Fox Mulder sat at his desk, humming a happy tune and smiled as he flipped through gory murder pictures. He was thinking about his date later that night with Grace and how it would be a perfect candle-lit evening with great Italian food and a live show and.

"Mulder, what are you doing?" Scully asked, as she walked in the room.

"Um. Looking at case files," Mulder replied.

"No, you're humming love songs while thinking of topless women swimming in a pool of chocolate milk," Scully said.

"Aah. You know me well," Mulder said, "But not well enough, I was thinking about my date tonight."

"Oh," Scully said, looking down at the ground sadly. "I have a date, too!" she suddenly piped up.

"Cool, who with?" Mulder asked.

"Aah! I don't have a date! I'm going to Antonio's with my mom and older brother," Scully replied, confessing her lie.

"Oh! I'm going there too! On my date with Grace!" Mulder exclaimed.

Scully scowled, "You're still with that hoe?"

"Um. yes?" Mulder asked.

"Typical. Listen, I'll see ya later, Mulder, I have to go meet a friend for lunch," Scully said.

"With who? A boyfriend, maybe?" he asked.

"No. Actually, it's an old friend, Matthew. He's gay, so there's nothing between us," Scully replied with a sigh and left the room.

"Bye, Scully, see ya later!" He called.

The woman waved at him in reply. Mulder sunk back into his chair and thought good thoughts of what the night would bring. He closed his eyes and slept.
