3:42 AM Scully's hotel room

Mulder woke up, looked to his right, and remembered the happenings of just a few hours earlier (yes, it lasted quite a while).

*Wow* Mulder thought. *Will things change at work? Who cares? I've wanted to be with Scully for the 6 years that I've known her, so it won't be much different. Man, she was hot tonight* Mulder continued this for a while, when something interrupted his thoughts.

"Scissors. . ." Scully stirred. "Oh, Mulder. . .I want you. . .scissors," she trailed off.

Mulder's ears perked up at this, as did another part of his body. (He soon resolved his problem by thinking of Kersh.)

Scully tossed and turned a little and ended up entangling her legs and arms with Mulder's. She took a deep breath that progressed to a slower, steady inhaling and exhaling. In an instant, Mulder found himself wandering back into a deep sleep.

8:17 AM

Scully opened her eyes and took in her surroundings.

*Scissors case. . .Jamie. . .Weirdness. . .Mulder. . .Oh, my God! Did I dream that AGAIN?*

Just then, Mulder walked out of the bathroom in a towel, answering her question.

*Thank God!! I could just eat him up. . .er, wait I already DID!* Scully kidded with herself.

"Good Morning, Sleepyhead. I thought you'd never wake up," he said with a little too much enthusiasm. "You must have had one hell of a night."

"Yeah, I think it was all that racket somebody was making last night for hours. Jeez, I thought it'd never end!" Scully got up and walked over to Mulder. "Did you happen to hear it?"

"Yeah, it was pretty crazy." Mulder closed the space between them and kissed Scully right on the lips. "Oh, Scully."

"I know. . ." she began.

"No. I mean, yeah.but I think you should brush your teeth so we can continue this, " Mulder said, half smiling, half cringing.

"Eep! Can I borrow your toothpaste?"

Scully was shielding her mouth as she waited for Mulder, who was frantically scattering things about the bathroom counter.

"I can't find it, Scully!" Mulder said, frustrated.

"Men can't find anything," she muttered in reply. Scully gave in and walked the couple feet to the bathroom. Without hesitation, she grabbed the toothpaste and toothbrush from the little tray. Mulder just watched and waited, tapping his foot.

"Do you mind?" Scully said, squirting some paste onto the complimentary toothbrush.

"No, not at all."

Scully just rolled her eyes, and began brushing her tongue fiercely.

"Jeez, Scully. Go easy! That tongue still has a lot of use in it!" Mulder said, cringing a little.

"Oh, bon't wou mow ip (don't you know it)," Scully managed to say, still scrubbing her tongue. She rinsed and looked at Mulder with a huge grin. "I'm ready."

"For...?" Mulder said fairly convincingly.

Scully put on a straight face and replied casually, "Oh, you wanna play like that, do you? That's all right. We need to question Ms. Lauper anyway." With that, Scully headed to the shower and turned the water on.

"Damn."

*Am I an idiot, or what?* Mulder thought. He looked down at his crotch area and noticed little Mulder not agreeing with him. Again, he thought of Kersh and decided to go take a shower.
