Summary: It's an epilogue, it's short, what more do you want?
The sun was hot on the dry baseball field, and fifteen eager faces looked out across the field. The anticipation hung heavier than the 94% humidity, and the parents could tell that their children were getting antsy. Charles Scully checked his watch.
"I wonder where Dana is. She's the freaking Queen of Punctuality, and now she's ten minutes late," he said, turning to his wife. Ellen shrugged her shoulders.
"She's got Mulder with her."
"Ah, maybe that's why."
He saw her first, as she walked slowly across the dusty baseball field, wearing a blue tank top and jeans. Mulder followed closely behind her, wearing a black tee shirt and jeans. Charlie waited, and waited as the children all slowly looked up. Realizing who was approaching them, a little boy, Adam, rose to his feet and shouted,
"Look everybody, Coach D's back!" And with that, all fifteen children rose to their feet and began running off toward their coach. Charlie crossed his arms and shook his head. "She leaves me in charge for almost an entire season, and the moment she comes back, they flock to her like I wasn't ever here," he muttered to his wife. He then grinned broadly at the sight of his sister, who was followed by Mulder. Charlie laughed aloud as Mulder's eyes widened at the sight of fifteen small children stampeding in his direction, and said,
"Welcome back, Coach D."
Author's Notes: Well kids, it's been a fun ride! Thanks to everyone who reviewed, it means SOOOOO much to me. I'm contemplating a sequel, so if you'd like to see one, either mail me (xxilovedavidduchovnyxx@yahoo.com) or tell me when you review! Thanks again!
