Scully sat at her desk with nothing to do. She glanced over at Mulder to find him hunched over his work. How can he possibly concentrate on such a beautiful day? Honestly I don't understand the man. She got up from her desk and walked over to Mulder.
"Mulder can we please go somewhere! I have to get out of this place before I go insane!" He stared mockingly at her.
"Did the enigmatic Doctor Scully just whine?" He grinned.
"Yes…" She made a pouty face and blinked at him with her blue eyes.
"Scully that face isn't going to work on me. Nope. Not today. I have too much to- -" He was interrupted by Scully pushing all the contents on his desk to the floor.
"Now what did you say again?" He gaped at her in disbelieving shock. "Mulder shut you mouth and grab your coat we're ditching this place!" With that she grabbed Mulder by the arm and dragged him to the awaiting elevator.

Ten minutes later they were driving around in Mulder's car trying to figure out what to do. "Who made the rebel dragon in Scully raise it's two voracious heads and roar?" She glared at him and rolled her eyes.
"Shut it Mulder!" She punched him in the arm
"Ow! Geez." He said sheepishly rubbing his arm. "So where do you wanna go m'lady?" He said in his best chauffer voice.
"I don't know…a movie or a restaurant or-" Her eyes widened in joy as she saw a skating rink. "Mulder. Mulder stop! Over there – the skating rink!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXHe couldn't believe she had talked him into this. How could he let her? He hadn't skated for years! "Scully," he said as they walked up to the counter, "promise me one thing."
"What?" She said turning to him and smiling.
"Don't make fun of me. I haven't skated in an eternity!" She suppressed a giggle as best she could. He conjured the best hurt look." Hey! Lay off will ya? I didn't make fun of you when you couldn't bring a ball to a bat for your life!" He grinned.
"But that was my birthday present! You taught me and now I can! So stop your pouting you big baby!" She poked him in the side and he retaliated with a smack on the butt. She flashed a surprised look at him and decided she wouldn't let this ruin their 'Perfect Day'.
"What size for you sir?" asked the clerk at the counter.
"Size 11 please."
She gaped at him. "Geez you have big feet!"
"Well you know what they say about guys with big feet?"
She rolled her eyes in disgust and turned to the counter again.
"Size 7."
"Well Scully I meant they have big hearts!" The man gave them their skates and Scully immediately walked off towards a table to put them on.
"Nice save," the clerk said.
"Uh yea thanks."
Mulder walked over towards Scully and sat down next to her. "What size are you skates they look really small!"
"Size 7. That's why they call me tiny."
"People call you tiny?" He wondered out loud.

PLOP! Mulder fell straight on his butt. Scully laughed at the sight of him disheveled on the ice.
"Mulder you're supposed to skate on the ice not site on it!"
She glided over to him and helped him to his feet again. She grabbed on to his arm and attempted to help him stay up.
"Maybe we should take a break, Mulder."
"Yea I think that would be a wonderful idea!" Mulder laughed out.
They skated over to the edge of the ice and went to the concession stand. Mulder, as usual, bought sunflower seeds and a coke while Scully bought water and an ice cream cone. They sat beside each other on a bench and watched the other people skate.
"Hey Scully that wouldn't happen to be a nonfat tofutti rice dreamsicle, would it?" He flashed a mischievous grin at her.
"Oh no! This is my ice cream! Back off!" She smirked.
He had an idea as he watched her bring the ice cream to her mouth and take a slow lick. As soon as she pulled it away he lunged for it and he swiped it out of her hands.
"Mulder! Hey!" she giggled.
He held it out and above him so she couldn't reach it
"Fine! Take my ice cream! I'll go get another."
She began to get up and he pulled he back down.
"Or better yet…we can share it." He licked it again an lured her towards it. "You know you want some!"
She couldn't resist the urge. He held it out to her and she swiped some vanilla away with her tongue. She leaned back so he could take a lick. Her spine pricked and gave her a cold shiver as he took his bite. They continued this until there was one bite left. She offered it to him but he refused and let her have the last lick. She finished it off and they were left sitting side by side. Gazing at each other. After a moment she reluctantly shook free of his gaze. "Scully, would you think of this as a…well…as maybe a date?"
