The following morning Scully got dressed and ready to carry on the investigation following a tip off from Skinner. She knew Mulder would have already heard about it. She got dressed and decided not to confront Mulder about the night before and pretend that it never happened. He had left in the morning so it was perfectly clear he didn't want to face her. She respected him for it as it was clearly outside the FBI guidelines for a female and male agent to be involved in that sort of contact. She enjoyed it though something she would never admit but the truth was she loved him. That was one truth she knew for definite.

"Good morning Mulder."

"Scully" He said enthusiastically from his chair facing his lap top.

Please don't mention last night Mulder, please don't mention last night.

"Did skinner tell you?"

"Yes he did apparently that old man, well what he appeared to be was actually Richard Niles and not the man he said he was." She said raising an eyebrow. He made a gunshot noise at her as he usually did when she was right which most of the time was.

"So how are we going to catch him Mulder I mean the man can change his face and anything else for that matter. Its obvious to me that if he could do what he was supposed to he could have changed larger objects into smaller things and them change them back again."

"Of course Scully but if he could do that wouldn't he just turn an arm chair into a million dollars."

"Well maybe Mulder, but what if his power didn't last very long say 20 minutes tops and then it changes back to its original form?"

"Exactly, Scully are you familiar with something called Glamour magic?"

"Yes Mulder a form of pagan magic which is also known as party magic. Teenagers at sleepovers try it like light as feather stiff as a board. It's just a game Mulder. Well the myth says that it only last for 2 minutes or so"

"Again Scully you've come through."

"Yes, and for some reason you seem overly cheery this morning." She wished she hadn't said that because it might have brought up the topic but if it was going to come out she wanted out in the open. Low and behold he just winked at her. She blushed and turned around and sneakily smiled. She had secretly loved the night before.

Mulder and Scully had received a photo of Richard Niles through fax from Skinner. They decided to barge the door down and if that didn't work wait at least an hour with him until he changed. As planned they barged the door down and there Niles was sitting in his underwear eating cereal and watching 'Jerry Springer'.

"Hello Mr Travers or should I say Richard Niles." Mulder said smugly he loved a case well done. In his flat they found several witch craft items used for permanent or longer use of glamour magic. Scully suggested that without those he couldn't perform.

They went back to the hotel with one night left in New York. With nothing to do they decided to watch TV at the hotel when both of them knew that's how the night before happened. Secretly they both wanted it and hoped it would happen. They watched alien II Mulders favourite film. After a lot of talking and wine. They leant into kiss Scully and Mulder couldn't wait they'd both wanted it all day. As per usual Washington got in the way Mulders cell phone rang.

"Mulder" He said sighing at the interruption.
