Having changed into more weather appropriate clothing, Mulder and Scully sat in chairs under the awning that cover LSFC(Lone Star Fencing Center's) front walkway. They were highly entertained, watching the children run. Actually, stumble is a more appropriate word.

Kathryn had started off the routine running a few laps around the courtyard that housed the playground at the school. Most of the people had stayed with her, though a few of the smaller children lagged behind. Then Kathryn introduced high knees, grape vines, sprints, and skips into the routine. After her charges were gasping a bit, she went back to normal laps. They watched amazed as she took them climbing up the slide, down ladders all around the equipment. She ended with a final sprint around the courtyard, with the rest of the students at least fifty feet behind her. Most of them collapsed on the spot when they finished.

She nodded at the agents and yelled, "Ten minute water break. Good job." Kathryn wasn't even out of breath.

She walked past her staggering companions, and sat down on the step next to them.

"Sorry to have rushed out so quickly, but I like to think after bouts like that. It's nice to finally meet you agents."

"You'd heard of us before?" Asked Mulder, highly surprised.

"Mulder, did you forget the Dallas bombing?" asked a highly annoyed Scully.

"No, actually. But she did say it was *nice* to meet us." He glared at Scully. She glared right back. The heat was getting to both of them.

"Well, I've heard stories from Uncle Skinner." said Kathryn, trying to break the tension.

"Uncle?" asked both agents, confused.

"Not really an uncle. He's a close friend of the family."

"Skinner didn't tell us about that." muttered Scully.

"Did he also forget to tell you that I leave for my summer training tomorrow?" asked Kathryn, starting to get amused, annoyed, and a little frightened all at once. The agent's looks said it all.

"Every summer, for five weeks, I go down to our ranch in the hill country to train before School starts. Before, my dad stayed with me, but now that I'm older, he trusts me, and lets me stay by myself, just dropping me off there and going home."

"I'm not sure that's such a good idea, with these attacks." said Mulder.

"Aren't we supposed to keep a low profile, though?" asked Scully.

"I've done this every summer since I was 8. People will suspect something if I don't go this year."

Mulder rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then massaged his singed arm. "Fine. We leave tomorrow. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go cry."

Kathryn looked at Scully confused, but Scully waved a hand. "Not being able to drive has deflated his ego." she grinned wickedly. "I think this is a good experience for him."

Kathryn grinned back at her. "I always have a traditional meal at Chili's, before going and fending for myself for five weeks. Ya'll want to eat too? Oh, yeah... you have to."

"Mulder, get the car ready for me." Yelled Scully, tossing him the keys. She couldn't help rubbing his nose in it one last time. Kathryn excused herself, and went to clean up.

"So, Scully, what exactly is your second job?"  Asked Mulder, while they waited for Kathryn outside the club.

An evil grin spread across Scully's face as she replied.  "Oh, nothing much… I just do some… dancing… at Sophie's on Friday nights."

"Oh that's nic… WHAT THE HELL?"  He yelped, jumping and turning to look at her.  His jaw had dropped and his eyes widened horror. 

Kathryn walked out at that moment, having showered and changed, making further conversation impossible.  She looked at them both, her

brows drawn together in confusion. 

"Umm… did I miss something?"  She asked.

"Oh, nothing, just Mulder being Mulder."  Scully said with a grin.  "Come on, I'll help you load your gear."
