"Mulder, where are you taking me?"

"You'll see,"

"This is silly, take this blindfold off."

"No, not yet. Just wait a minute longer. We're almost there." He smiled. Mulder had blindfolded Scully and was driving her somewhere. He stopped the car and walked around to Scully's side of the car. He helped her out and led her along a path.

"Can I take it off now?"

"Yes," Mulder nodded. Scully pulled the blindfold off. She was looking a beautiful brick house. Mulder took her hand. She was too stunned to do anything except follow him. He showed her around the house.

It was a double story house. Up stairs there were five bedrooms and a bathroom. Downstairs was a study, another bathroom, the kitchen, the dinning room and a lounge room. Out the back there was a laundry and a huge backyard with a small swimming pool. The garden was well maintained.

Mulder led Scully up the stairs into the main bedroom. In the middle of the floor was a small black box. Scully looked at Mulder then ran over to the box. Mulder caught the disappointment in her eyes when she pulled a silver key out of the box.

"Not what you expected."

"Not exactly." She said. She looked up at him. He smiled a broad smile and held out another black box.

"Try this one." He said. She stood up and walked across to him. When she was a few inches away Mulder dropped to one knee and opened the box. Scully smiled. Mulder produced a handful of red rose petals.

"Marry me, 'cause I'm shit without you."

"How romantic, a marriage proposal with the word shit in it." She said.

"Well if you think you can do better." Mulder said and stood up. Scully threw her arms around him and kissed him.

"I couldn't do better than you." She said. Mulder slipped the ring on her finger.
