Her eyes flutter open and it takes her several moments to realize where she is. After a brief

swivel of her head she takes in the leather couch she is on and the fish tank and she sighs

contentedly. After another brief second she realizes Mulder is beside her asleep on the couch as

well. She brushes aside a lock of hair and kisses him gently on the forehead. This brief contact

causes him to wake up; his eyes open and immediately make a connection with her own. She

smiles and he also does so in return.

"Hey" he says quietly

"Hi" she returns, they both just stare into each other's eyes for what seems like hours until he

finally sits up and kisses her softly. However, this soft kiss is soon turned into a passionate one

when both begin to realize their new ability to freely express their emotions. The kiss continues,

and when it ends another is soon started to replace it, finally the two break apart and sit up on

the couch.

"Mulder?" she inquires

"Hmmm" he mumbles with his eyes closed

"I should probably go home and get changed and cleaned up." This said she begins to get off the

couch and turn towards the door. However, she feels Mulder grab her wrist, when she turns

around he holds her arm with his eyes still closed, and says:

"Come back tonight, and I'll order pizza."

She smiles at the remark, and simply responds "okay"

She then leaves the apartment and walks down the hallway, to the elevator, and then leaves the

apartment to head to her car. Once inside she pauses a moment before she starts the engine and

quietly smiles to herself. For the first time she is completely positive she will never spend another

Friday night alone.
