Walter Skinner had never seen Mulder and Scully displaying their affection for one another so openly. Even as they walked into his office, they were bumping shoulders and holding hands.
"Agents, I want to discuss—What are you smiling about?" he demanded.
"Do we tell him?" Mulder asked Scully.
She nodded, still grinning wildly. "We're getting married!" She held out her hand so he could see the diamond the size of a skating rink on her finger.
Skinner stared in shock. Mulder and Scully getting married?
"You'll be invited to the wedding, of course," Mulder told him.
"And I want you to walk me down the aisle," Scully added.
"Are you joking?" Skinner questioned.
"Would we joke about something like that?" Scully asked.
Skinner just stared, realization slowly sleeping into his mind. They were getting married! He went form shocked to ecstatic in seconds. "Congratulations!" he told them. "This is great. You two finally got it together."
"We sure did," Mulder said. "We need you to help us settle something."
"Mulder wants to have the wedding at the National Cathedral and a reception at the Embassy Suites," Scully explained. "I want to have it at a bed and breakfast in Alexandria. What do you think?"
Skinner thought for a second. He'd rather not get in the middle of it but he decided to give a diplomatic answer. "Why not have the wedding at the cathedral and the reception at the bed and breakfast?"
Mulder and Scully looked at each other. "I think we like that idea Mulder said for the both of them. They were smiling and looked like they wanted to kiss but were awkward in front of Skinner.
"Oh, go ahead," he told them.
They kissed, ever so gently at first and then a little harder and—oh God! It looked like they were using their tongues.
"Okay, okay. That's enough. Keep your clothes on," Skinner said.
Mulder and Scully broke apart reluctantly.
"What did you want to discuss?" Scully asked.
"Leave," Skinner answered. "Both of you are under direct orders of the Director to take a two week paid vacation. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't show up for work. They're reviewing recent X-Files and want you out of the way. This is effective immediately."
Mulder and Scully looked at each other, then jumped out of their seats. "Bye!" Scully called over her shoulder as they walked hastily out of the office.
