SPARKLES


MULDER

In pain and shock, cold and weak, I could only depend on her to keep me safe.

She was patiently trying to separate the shell from the casing, casually philosophizing about the meaning of death. Suddenly she succeeded. She sprinkled the powder on the wood, hit her stones and Ta-da !

A little explosion, a bright flash, a few flames and finally nothing.

This is my best Scully's sparkling moment.


SCULLY

I didn't expect him remembering my birthday, even in dog years. It was really a big surprise.

He was so joyful and cute, joining in with the waiters for the song, and messing with me. All was scintillating around me: the candle, Mulder's eyes and smile, the ribbon wrapping his gift, the medaillon.

All of a suddden, we were stopped and drove back to work.

This is my best Mulder's sparkling moment.


M&S

First, we were only spectators, standing quietly in the hospital hallway, watching on TV the Times Square ball moving down and listening to the countdown.

Then, the bright ball reached the New Year, shining fireworks blew up, the crowd glowed. Spontaneously, we kissed.

The world around us disappeared, all the sparkles popped up on our lips, in our stomachs, and along our radiant stare.
