A Little Faith
Prompt: #004 Cookies
Notes: Written for FictionNET
Scully eyed Mulder sceptically as he handed her a cookie wrapped in a tissue. His theories were far from normal on the best of occasions and she had come to accept that, but this time he was going too far. Way too far.
"Mulder! You're not serious, are you?" she retorted. "I mean…that's just impossible!"
Mulder grinned sheepishly and nodded. "Yes, I'm completely series," he affirmed. "And it's not impossible. Have a little faith!"
"We'll need a lot more than a little faith for this!" Scully exclaimed, raising the cookie in the air, just in front of Mulder's nose.
"Aw, Scully! C'mon!"
"No!" Scully stared defiantly at the ground for a moment, hoping that Mulder would take the hint and move on. However, she made the mistake of looking up and found herself trapped in his puppy dog eyes.
"Fine," she relented, a small smile creeping onto her face.
Mulder grinned widely and patted her gratefully on the shoulder. "I knew you'd come through!"
Scully rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Sure, Mulder," she replied sarcastically. She pushed a strand of red hair back out of her face and straightened her blouse. "So let me get this straight. We have to bake two hundred cookies for some fundraiser that just happens to be tomorrow?"
"Yup!" Mulder confirmed brightly. "We'd better get started!"
