Scully tried desperately to remember what she had said last night, all she remembered doing was crying and talking to Mulder about stuff.

Scully sighed and sipped her coffee, Mulder had gone out for something and left Scully alone to think and have some time alone.

She sat staring over at the TV, which was turned off, and thought hard about last night. She needed to remember what she had said so she could correct anything, that she hadn't meant to say.

Mulder arrived back 40 minutes later to find Scully fast asleep on the sofa; he smiled, as she looked so peaceful and beautiful.

He took the groceries into the kitchen and decided to make her a special candle lit dinner.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Scully awoke just after 6pm to the smell of something that made her realise that she was starving. She hadn't eaten since breakfast that morning.

She sat up and saw Mulder in the kitchen wearing an apron and frowning as he read the instructions in a cookbook.

Scully raised an eyebrow and went over to him, he smiled at her.

"I wondered when you would finally wake up." He said.

"You need some help?" she asked.

Mulder looked at her and tried to look offended.

"Nope…I'm doing ok."

Scully raised her eyebrows in disbelief. He didn't look like he was doing ok; she thought.

"Fine. I'll just go for a shower then and freshen up while burn the house down." She said sarcastically.

Mulder rolled his eyes; Scully wouldn't be saying that when she tasted his cooking.

Scully downstairs an hour later in a pair of cotton three quarter length black trousers and a red shirt. She wanted to look appropriate for the evening meal and she didn't want to dress up too much.

Mulder had managed top get everything ready before Scully came downstairs, he had lit the candles and served the first course of soup.

Scully smiled and sat down; no one had ever done this for her before.

"This is beautiful." She told him.

Mulder nodded. He had so many things to sat to her but he didn't think the time was appropriate so he would wait a little longer.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Scully had enjoyed every bit of the meal and complimented Mulder on his cooking skills. He had enjoyed cooking for her but he wasn't looking forward to washing up the dishes.

"So…why did you do this?" she asked.

Mulder looked at her and shrugged, he had just wanted to cook for her.

"I thought I would cook…so I did. Don't complain because I don't cook very often."

Scully smiled.

" You should cook more often, it was really good."

Mulder sighed and poured them both some more wine.

"You want to walk along beach?" he asked.

Scully looked at her watch, it was after 9 so it would be dark.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

Mulder nodded and handed the wine to her.

"Might as well bring it with us." He said with a smile.

So they left the house and started to walk along the beach in the dark. They both had no shoes on but they didn't seem to mind. Scully looked up at the big full moon and smiled, she loved the way the moon shone and reflected off the water at night. She hoped that she could remember this night forever.

Mulder looked at her from the corner of his eye, she looked so amazing with the moonlight shining on her face.

Scully looked at him and frowned.

"What?" she asked.

Mulder drank some more wine and shrugged.

"Nothing." He replied with a little smile.

"You are strange Mulder." She told him.

Mulder laughed, he knew that already.

"But strange is good?"

Scully stopped and looked into Mulder's eyes.

"Are you feeling okay?" she asked seriously.

Mulder smiled and nodded, he wanted to kiss her so much.

"Strange…is strange." Scully replied. " But strange is you so it is good." She shrugged.

"I can't believe that we've been working together for almost 7 years."

Scully raised her eyebrows.

" I cant believe I lasted that long."

They both smiled and then carried on walking.

" I can't believe I put up with you for so long." He joked. "But we've some hard times and some fun times."

"Uh huh. Well we could of done worse."

Mulder smiled, that was very true.

"But we've got each other."

Scully looked at him and smiled, sometimes she just wanted to hug him and never let go.

That morning at the FBI headquarters Skinner had gone over some agents holiday forms to make sure everything was in order.

He came to Mulder's and it was ok, he knew Mulder had gone to some island somewhere and that was good.

Two forms later he came across Scully's form and frowned.

He fount Mulder's again and re read it.

He couldn't believe that they had gone to the same destination they even went on the same flight.

Skinner smiled, he put Scull's form at the back of the pile.

He hoped no one else realised they had gone on vacation together.
