Hey all! It's been two years since my first story and I was thinking maybe I should write another. Well, this story is about a nice weekend that Mulder and Scully spend together. I always love these kinds of stories so I thought I'd write one myself. I've read a lot of x-files fiction over the years and I'm going to combine a lot of the moments that I really liked. Besides that I'm going to try and stay as close to the actual personalities of the characters so there's probably not going to be any over the top emotions between the characters. For example there will be no crying in front of each other for reason like "oh I'm so lucky to have you" or "I messed up you don't want to be with me." When I read stories like this I wish I could cut them out because I think Mulder and Scully would just tell each other this, not cry about it. Well, I hope you all enjoy the story and I'll try to put up chapters ASAP but please bear with me because I am in College and life is a little busy at the moment.

A RELAXING WEEKEND

MULDER'S APARTMENT

SATURDAY

Should I or shouldn't I? Scully thought to herself. She was standing outside her partner's apartment trying to decide whether to invite him to her family's pool party or not. The apartment door opened and it was no longer her decision to make. Mulder was standing there in jeans in a white t-shirt. He had one arm in the sleeve of his leather jacket and was putting his arm in the other one when he looked up and saw her. A small smile appeared on his face as he stopped in the door entrance with the door propped open with his foot. "Hey Scully, what brings you here? Um, won't you come in?"

He moved so that she could pass but she stayed where she was.

"I don't want to keep you from wherever you're going."

"Ah, it's nothing. Come on in."

"I just wanted to ask you something. We can walk and talk."

"Okay."

He walked out into the hall and turned to lock the door. Turning back he nodded his head to the elevator and said "k, let's go."

They walked to the elevator in a comfortable silence. Once they were inside he asked "So… what did you want to ask me?"

She looked at the numbers counting down above the door and calmly replied "I just wanted to know if you'd like to go to my family's pool party next weekend. Usually I go but this year my mom told me to ask you to come. Also, it's getting harder and harder to go by myself. People are always pestering me about my love life and since I'm getting older they figure I should fall in love a bit faster."

The elevator do opened and they started walking. "I don't know Scully… I got a lot of things going on next weekend."

"Sure ya do" the sarcasm was clearly present in her voice.

She looked over to him with a smirk on her face. He mocked a hurt expression then in an exasperated tone replied "Well, I guess if this means soooo much to you…. I could drop everything I'm doing and go."

She turned to him with a satisfied smile. "Thank you Mulder."

"Hey no problem."

"I figured it wouldn't be" and with that she was in her car.

"Only for you Scully, only for you"
