Chapter 3

"Mulder! What are we supposed to do!" Scully slammed her hand against her head.

"Well, at least it's not winter," Mulder shrugged. Scully gave him one of the meanest looks he'd seen, "wait! Call the manager!"

Mulder nodded, "good idea, but I don't have my phone."

"Use a pay phone! There's one on the corner," Scully said pulling him off the stair he was sitting on.

"No money, Scully," Mulder looked at her for another idea. Scully looked at him just the same.

"Oh! I have an—well never mind…" Mulder turned around to sit again but Scully grabbed him, "What! Tell me!"

"Well…" Mulder looked down as he said it, "I know any guy would pay some money…. If you flashed him…" he said cringing waiting for her to slap him. He opened one of his eyes, she was gone. He frowned and looked around, "Scully?"

He sat back down after looking around a little, he shrugged his shoulders. She came back a few minutes later. "Where'd you go?" Mulder asked.

"You don't want to know," She said with one eye cocked. He put his hands in the air and looked away.

2 HOURS LATER

The two agents were way past even the notion of ever getting back in. Screw the files, screw Skinner. They had been sitting in silence for the longest time before Mulder quietly started saying something.

Scully turned to him with a frown.

"Someone told me long ago…. There's a calm before the storm… I know…" Scully listened intently as Mulder began to sing now.

"It's been coming for some time…When it's over so they say, it'll rain a sunny day… I KNOW! Shinning down like water!" Scully raised both her eyebrows as Mulder started moving around and finally standing up.

He turned back to her acting like he had a microphone in his hand, "I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?... coming down…" he paused and held the invisible microphone in front of Scully, but she just shook her head as people that passed by frowned at the two.

Mulder continued, "coming down a sunny day... Yesterday and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard, I KNOW!" Scully hid her face in her hands until she felt his hand wrap around her wrist. He pulled her off the seat and continued to sing, "been that way for all my time."

He slid himself close to Scully and placed his hands on her hips. Scully stood as still as she could. He danced around, moving her hips with his hands.

He slowed down his singing and the movement of his hands, "til' forever, on it goes… through the circle… fast and slow…"

Finally Scully jumped in, she mumbled, "I know." Mulder smiled and moved the beat up again, "it can't stop… I wonder!"

Together both of them sang, Mulder blasting it out, Scully quietly making her way up, "I wanna know! Have you ever seen the rain! I wanna know! have you ever seen the rain!"

"Hit it Scully!"

Scully held the invisible microphone and belted it, "Yeah! I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain coming down a sunny day!"

Both of them sang the finale, "coming down a sunny day!"

The song had ended and Mulder pulled her into a gigantic hug, lifting her off the ground and landing her back safely. Scully couldn't hold in her laughed and neither could he, it was their way of saying screw the world, 'we can wear our underwear in public and sing as loud as we want.'

Mulder kissed her lips lightly from the spur of the moment, and Scully pulled him in for another. She slid her tongue inside his mouth, letting him experience a brief moment of untamed Scully. But it didn't last long, both of them started laughing uncontrollably again.

Slowly, though, both of them stopped their laughter, they had just noticed Skinner standing behind them watching.

The bald-headed man spoke very seriously and very humorlessly, "I'm glad to see you two working so diligently."

I recommend anyone who's interested in the song to go on Windows Media Player and look up "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

It's a fun song to sing to!
