"Come on Mulder…this is ridiculous! I can't believe that I have spent 2 hours in a Saturday night, sitting in this crappy car, waiting for a grumpy old man to get out of his house so that you can go and poke your nose on his stuff!" Mulder knew she was clearly frustrated by the look of her face and the way she spoke but the faint light coming out of Mr. Henderson's wagon still said that he hasn't gone out tonight.

He knuckled as if to make her more pissed off as he secretly loved seeing her getting mad at him. His eyes were shining as he looked into her deep blue eyes. He knew, resisting her warmth is a new battle he is facing especially when there are just two of them, in the middle of a dark gloomy forest and when the winds are cold and freezing outside. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that he is grinning at her all this time.

"Did I say anything funny…seriously Mulder…this is a wrong decision. We can ask the PD for a warrant and…" Even before she knew it's going to happen, his warm lips were crashing on hers. She was shocked at first but was surprised that she didn't have the courage to withdraw from his warmth. She felt as if the entire universe is falling on her within a warm cocoon of love and stardust.

"You are a wizard Mulder" she managed to murmur once they broke up to catch up their breath. Still holding her close, he rested his forehead on hers, trying to calm his own senses and their breath composing the same rhythm while their eyes are closed as it's a lifelong meditation.

"You don't believe in magic, don't you Scully?" He broke the silence.

"No…no not really…"

"What if I told you that it's magic, what that you have done to me" he teased, as his fingertips gently traced the edge of her lips.

She took his hand in hers, pressing a gentle kiss. Their eyes locked for a single moment before she pulled him close once again, their foreheads resting on each other. She heard him breathe as she stroked the back of his neck. It didn't take long for her to realize that the wagon is all in dark now as she glanced at the dark woods.

"Mulder…he is gone…the light it's no there" she muffled

"Oh…crap" he chuckled as he drew away from her. "What if I go and have a look around while you stay in the car…hmm"

"No no…I'm coming with you…come on let's go…" she was out of the car even before he was able to protest.
