Author's Note: Thanks to everyone who has read this far. There's more to
come. Sorry it took so long. I caught strep throat, and then it was my B-
day on the 21st.
Also a few people have asked when this takes place so here's your answer,
during season 7 sometime after Closure.
Chapter 5: Disney Memories
"Wow," Scully said quietly, as she gazed around at the fabulous restaurant they were sitting in.
Mulder and Scully were sitting in the well known Rain Forest Café. They were surrounded by trees, waterfalls, colorful birds, animals such as elephants and gorillas, and many others things that belonged in rainforests.
While looking up at the star and vine covered ceiling, Mulder asked Scully, "Hey Scully, have you ever been to Disney World?"
"No, being a Navy Brats we never got the chance. We moved around a lot because of Dad's job." she answered as she too gawked at the gorgeous ceiling.
"I have. My parents took Sam and me. We had a blast. They promised they'd take us again," Mulder started quietly not looking at Scully. "That was a month before she was taken," he added somberly. "We never came back."
Scully reached across the table and took Mulder's hand in hers. She gently stroked his palm with her thumb. "At least she's in peace now," she replied making him look her in the eyes. "Mulder, there was nothing you could have done, you were twelve. It wasn't your fault, you have to remember that," she told him affectionately.
Just as she finished the waiter came carrying their food; Mulder had ordered a hamburger and fries and Scully had ordered a chicken salad.
Mulder looked at her food and asked chuckling softly, "Jeez Scully, is that all you're eating? Come on live a little."
"No thank you, I'd rather not live a little and live for a long time. Not dying early of a heart attack." she said shaking her head with a smile, she was glad he could laugh after thinking of his sister.
Lunch passed quite quietly, with neither them speaking except for a small joke once in a while. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, quite the contrary, it was a warm silence filled with content and happiness.
When they finished a paid the bill, they exited through the gift shop, and headed out into the street.
Mulder looked at his watch and saw it was 3:30 P.M. He turned to his red-headed partner and asked, "We have half an hour until we can get into our hotel room. What shall we do until then?" he asked with a playful smile on his face.
"Its either shop or go looking for ghosts," Scully kidded.
"I vote for the second one," Mulder said as Scully groaned and pulled him into the closest gift shop.
Twenty minutes later Scully and Mulder exited the shops each carrying a few items. Mulder had a pair of Mickey Mouse ears, a snow globe with Ariel in it, and had secretly had bought a pair of Minnie Mouse ears for Scully. Scully had a glass figurine of Mickey Mouse and Minnie and a small Goofy trinket for her nephew, Mathew.
The two FBI agents walked back to the ferry that was heading back to their hotel and they sat down. After 5 minutes Mulder got up and talked to the ferryman quietly.
After a quick discussion Mulder returned and sat back down. As they came to shore Mulder quietly asked Scully, "Hey Scully, we don't have to start investigating until tomorrow, so would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?"
"Sure, unless it includes anything paranormal," she said with a smile forming at the corners of her mouth.
"No. There's a nice French restaurant I know of," he said. "Oh and remember to dress nice." and with that he took off in the direction of their hotel. ************That's it for now!
