The Plan
3 weeks later

It has been a few weeks since Mulder and Scully broke up. The two still worked together as partners at the FBI, they had no choice about that. They do not mind working together, but it is just a bit hard for them because of personal problems they are sorting out through at the moment. Things were starting to calm down between them and they were starting to get civil with one another. They still have not discussed about getting back together quite yet though because if either of them tried to easily ease into that subject the two ended up arguing. Obviously, Bill on the other hand, was pleased to hear that the two have split up. He already had plan B lined up for his sister so that she would never be with Mulder, because that is the way he wants it to be.

One evening Scully arrived home from work when she got a phone call on her private home line. She saw it was coming from the Scully house hold and knew it was going to be either her mom or her brother. She hesitated, but decided to answer, hoping that it would be her mom calling. But to her dismay it was Bill.

"Yes, Bill?" Scully sighed, "What do you want this time?"

"To see how my sister is doing," Bill answered, "I can't check in with my sister? You sound disappointed that I am the one who has called you."

"No, not at all, I'm just exhausted from work is all," Scully lied.

"Good," Bill cheerfully said, "Listen; I've called because there's a friend of mine that is in town for a few days. His name is Charlie and I am having him over for dinner tomorrow night at the house. Mother and I would like you to join us, are you free?"

Scully hesitated, "Yeah sure, you say tomorrow?"

"Yes," Bill replied with a smile, "Tomorrow at six."

Scully looked around and stayed quiet for a few long seconds.

"Dana?" Bill asked.

"Yeah sure, I'll be over," Scully answered.

"Wonderful! I cannot wait to see you, I know last time we were together things were a little rough. It will be more relaxing and less stressful for you this time, I'm sure. Mom will be happy to see you tomorrow definitely. Well, you said you're exhausted, so I will let you get to bed. I'm sure you have another busy day tomorrow, have a good night," Bill explained.

"Thanks, you too, see you tomorrow," Scully said.

She hung up and then whined setting her phone back on the charger and ran off to her bedroom. Bill on the other hand smiled big and continued to dial Mulder's phone now.

Mulder was doing push-ups in his living room when his cell phone started ringing. He finished quickly, stood up and quickly answered his phone, expecting it to be Scully or the lone gunmen. But to his surprise he discovered it was Bill.

"Mulder, hi, this is Bill Scully," He greeted Mulder.

Mulder had been drinking water and nearly choked on it.

"Bill?" Mulder asked, "Why are you calling me?"

"I've called because I am trying to apologize to you and to get you and my sister back together. I heard you two broke up and I am sorry to hear. I know I hate you, but I didn't mean for you two break up," Bill explained.

Mulder gritted his teeth and clutched his phone tighter. He knew what Bill had just said was all a complete lie.

"Yeah and what is your point here?" Mulder asked.

"Tomorrow at 6:00 I have made a reservation for you and Dana at a nearby restaurant. It is a surprise, I have made an arrangement to pick her up and bring her to you. But she does not know she will be meeting with you. So when you are at work tomorrow do not say a word," Bill explained.

Mulder sighed, "Do I need to dress up or is it casual wear?"

"Its casual wear," Bill said, "So are you up for it?"

Mulder hesitated and looked around his apartment, debating.

"Yeah sure," Mulder said.

"Wonderful, I'm sure she will be thrilled," Bill said.

Bill then gave Mulder the directions and name of the restaurant. The two then hung up and once the phone call ended Bill smiled big, because truthfully he had something else planned for Mulder and he was hoping it would end well.
