A/N: This is the end of my first multi-chapter story. I must say that I've thoroughly enjoyed every single part of it and I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed!! I'd also like to apologize because I really have neglected this story and I don't think that's really fair- so, yeah. I think this will be my last X-F fic for a while, so, enjoy the final installment of Odyssey, and, review, and tell me what you think!!!!!

I thought it would be cool to do the last chapter in Mulder and Scully's viewpoints, and it might get a little out of character, but I think that it's something that really needed to happen.

REALLY IMPORTANT: this is set RIGHT after the movie. There are no real spoilers, except for one teensy tiny thing, but just so you have a time frame and get the end. . .

Odyssey

Mulder POV

It's been about a week since the incident. After the building ever so conveniently blew up, Scully, Frohikey, Langley, Byers and I all went down to the hospital. Scully had a slight concussion because of everything that had happened. I had a broken arm and the gunmen escaped with only an array of scratches and bruises. It didn't matter, though, Scully was alright. I thought about her a lot more often now, but my hand was still trembling and my fingers were still fumbling as my fingers dialed the number that they had so many times.

It rang once, then, "Hello?"

"Hey, Scully, It's me."

"Hey, Mulder, what's up?" she asked, interested. My brain was panicking, but I responded to her nonetheless. Boy, this really was a stupid idea. Stupid stupid stupid.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner with me tonight." Stupid!

"Sure, Mulder, I'd love that!!" I knew she'd say no!! I'm so stup-wait? Was that a yes?? Could it be?

"Mulder, are you still there? What's wrong?" she sounded worried now.

"Nothing!" I was still amazed that she'd accepted. "I'll pick you up around 6:30." I said.

"Okay, see you then, Mulder."

"See you."

She said yes!!!!!

Scully POV

I looked at the clock. 4:00. I had a lot to do before Mulder came. I wondered what I should wear. I looked at my closet, deciding on my classic stand-by, my little black dress. I love that dress. I paired that with my favorite pair of leopard print pumps, and grabbed a bright red handbag to put my stuff in. They look so good with my dress (which I love)! Mulder would freak.

I stopped for just a second, realizing that I was thinking about this as a date. Which it definitely wasn't, right? I pushed that thought aside. I still really wanted to wear that dress.

As I showered, did my hair and make-up, and got dressed, I thought about everything that I had gone through while with Anthony. I think I see the world differently now, like I appreciate everything more. I mean, I had had near death experiences before, but this was different somehow. Feeling his body pressed against mine when he walked in after the lone gunmen had cut me loose, the way he had grabbed me and sent the both of us flying as the building blew up. I sighed. I looked out the window, wondering what he was doing now.

Mulder POV

I looked at myself in the mirror, looking at my reflection. I looked disheveled in a weird sort of way. I guess I should get going. It was 6:15. I didn't want to be late.

I rang the door bell and fiddled with my shirt sleeve nervously. Then, the door opened.

"Hi, Mulder." Oh. My. Gosh. She looked amazing. Beautiful. I love that dress.

"Hey Scully," I stammered. "Shall we get going, then?" She smiled, and I smiled back. She locked her door and we started off.

"Scully," I started, wanting to get conversation flowing. "You look amazing." That was the only word I could think of to describe what I was seeing. She was like my own personal piece of heaven.

"Thanks." she said, smiling sheepishly.

When we arrived at the restaurant, I decided to take a risk. After I opened her car door and we were headed towards the restaurant, I slid my arm around her waist, pulling her close. To my surprise, she didn't move away. She didn't seem upset at all. I think she liked it.

Scully POV

Finally!

I cannot begin to think how long I have been waiting for him to do that. I wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling me as tightly as I could against him. I looked up at where we were. It was a posh little restaurant in downtown DC that was actually in a hotel, but the place was situated on one of the upper floors, overlooking the city. We walked in, and Mulder let go of me as we were walking to our table.

We sat down at a table right by a huge window, and I could see the entire city lit up. It was breathtaking. Our waiter showed up and handed us menus. We ordered, and it wasn't until after the food came that I started talking again.

"What happened to Anthony?" I asked. His head jerked up. He wasn't expecting this.

He answered nonetheless. "He died, of course, after I stabbed him. It's lucky we got out, because the bomb was meant to kill us and evidence that anything had ever happened."

"Krychek?"

"Of course. Who else?"

"Just wondered."

After that, nothing much happened. We ate a quick dessert and coffee, and Mulder drove me home. He even walked my up to my apartment.

"Mulder, I want to thank you for tonight. It was great."

"No problem, I have been meaning to take you out for a while. Especially after the whole Anthony escapade,"

"Thanks for that, Mulder. For saving my life." I could tell he had been caught off guard by my sudden compassion and will to share my feelings.

"I- Wow, Scully- you're welcome. Anyway, I couldn't bear to loose you. After everything that went on earlier, with you nearly being turned into an alien and both of us nearly freezing to death, well, Scully, you keep me whole. I couldn't live without you."

I had heard that before, but it still crushed my heart all the same. I reached up to his lips, having to stand on my tip toes even with my gorgeous pumps on. He leaned in as well, and as our lips were slowly reaching towards each other I couldn't help but pray that there weren't any bees in the vicinity.

Mulder's POV

Our lips met, and I held on to it for as long as I could. I knew that things were going to be alright now. Our lips parted for a brief second, before I went in for more, deepening the kiss. I knew that everything would be just fine. I had Scully and she had me. I barely even noticed that I was slowly steering her into her apartment and shutting the door.

THE END.

(Don't worry, they lived happily ever after!)

A/N: I'm finished!! finally!! I can't believe that I actually wrote a story! Tell me what you think, and if you think I should do another X-F one. I f I did, it would be fluff. Anyway, the next story I'm planning is going to be a Twilight story, for anyone who has read Twilight or New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. (If you haven't, you should, I highly recommend them.)

Thanks for sticking with me, and don't forget to push that little purple button at the bottom left of your screen and tell me what you think!!!!
