The two continued to talk and joke around. Mulder showed her some impressions of people around the office, and they even started a small game of charades.
Scully frowned as Mulder ran around screaming. "Who's that suppose to be?" she asked. Mulder continued. She wasn't getting it. Finally he spoke, mimicking her, "Well Mulder, I think chasing nonexistent alien beings is a little absurd." Scully's mouth dropped, "I don't sound like that!" she got up and hit him roughly on the shoulder. They started to play around a little when the door bell rang again.
"Give me that," Scully demanded as Mulder took the bowl. He finally gave it to her and they opened the door smiling and laughing. This time the group of trick or treaters were older. Mulder addressed them older and handed the candy out acting like a tough guy, Scully tried to hold back her laughter.
All the boys ran off, except the girl, she just stared at Mulder. Mulder looked at Scully, not understanding, and Scully, speaking through her teeth said, "I think she has a crush on you." Mulder nodded understanding now, but he still didn't know what to say. Soon enough they heard the boys calling for their sister and she sighed looking at Mulder.
"You're a lucky wife," the teenage girl said to Scully before walking off in a daze. Scully frowned, "Was she talking to me?"
"Well do you see any other of my wives around?" Mulder smiled. Scully threw another piece of candy at him.
October 30th 8:45 p.m.
Scully sat at her computer, working again, while Mulder changed into his costume. Scully was surprised when Mulder came out in different clothes. He had a white t-shirt on and black pants and a large toy gun in his hands. "Mulder, please, you didn't have to dress up for me." Mulder smiled then threw a plastic bag at her.
"And this is…" Scully started to open in, "oh, no Mulder. It's good enough for me to go with you, but I'm not dressing up…" Mulder smiled, "for me Scully?" She rolled her eyes and stood up, "Only for you, only for you Mulder."
When she came back out, her white shirt tucked into black pants like his, she turned to Mulder, "So what is this costume supposed to be anyway?" Mulder smiled again as he stood up. He walked around her, making sure her costume was perfect. Scully cocked her eye brow once more as he came around the front of her.
"Scully you seem to surprise me every time." Scully's eyebrow started slowly to disappear into a frown, "What do you mean?"
He softly put his hand on her cheek as he gazed into her eyes, "What I mean is, no matter how ugly a costume I give you… you always manage to make it uglier." Scully grew wide-eyed, "Mulder! I'm going to kill you!" she shouted as he ran off laughing. She ran after him and wrapped her arms around him tightly, "Scully, its me Mulder, you really think you pressing your body against mine is torture?" he asked with a grin. Scully back away angered, then, being as smart as she is, came up with a proposition.
"Well Mulder I know tonight is important to you, so I could always just stay home and work on my lap top." She could see she hurt Mulder then she thought she would, he didn't seem to be faking. "Well Scully you don't have to go you know, it's only if you want to."
Scully took a step forward, lightly putting her hand on Mulder's forearm, "I'd rather go to hell with you and beyond, then stay here alone, and we've definitely been a lot worse places then hell." She watched as a smile crept on Mulder's lips. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head gently, she involuntarily closed her eyes. "Thanks for going with me Scully." Scully nodded, "We should probably get going." Mulder agreed and the two left for the carnival-reunion.
