"So?"

"So what?"

"Come on Mulder. You know what I'm talking about."

"Honestly, I don't."

"Mulder." I said in a warning tone.

"Fine, so? What's the question, so I know exactly what to answer to, instead of taking a shot in the dark."

"Why?"

"Why what? Why do I want to know the question, why would it be a shot in the dark? Why would--"

"Mulder! Why. Why did you kiss me."

"Because I felt like it."

I sigh inwardly, "That's it? You felt like it?"

"Well, that's not everything."

"Then?"

"Because Scully. I've wanted to kiss you many times before, I think I've made that apparent. But, things kept coming in the way."

Damn bee.

"And with the frat regs in the FBI, plus the ongoing government conspiracy that probably has our homes, cars, and every were we go on a case bugged the opportunity never showed itself to me. Not to mention, the last time I kissed you I got a sore jaw."

"Not that again."

"What? You still don't believe me?"

"No Mulder. I really don't. You could have gotten a bruised jaw from anything. You had been found in the middle of the ocean for crying out loud. Unconscious might I add. And come on, I mean, really. You went back in time? I was there, and saved the world? Skinner was there in the form of a nazi with a conscious? And so was Spender and CSM? That's a bit outlandish, even for you."

"So, I dreamed it all? Every single detail."

"It's a lot more plausible than going back in time."

"How long have you worked on the x-files Scully?"

"Around 8 years."

"Right. And how many times has the plausible answer been the right one?"

"…"

"Exactly."

"Well, albeit most of the time you're right, that doesn't prove that that time you were."

"But I doesn't prove I wasn't either."

Gr. "That's besides the point Mulder."

"Is it really?"

"We're getting off subject."

"What was the subject again?"

"Last night Mulder, when you kissed me, then left me there to decipher what you had done. Which, by the way, I couldn't."

"So, you want to know exactly why I kissed you. The number one reason?"

"Yes."

"Well, that's simple."

"It is?"

"Of course."

"Then, why did you kiss me Mulder."

"Because I love you Scully."

a/n: short! I know, curse me! But, I couldn't put that kind of information in the middle of a chapter could I? It's something that should be pondered at the end, then obsessed about until the next chapter comes. And, that's exactly what I'll leave you to do. Ponder and obsess. Have fun.
