A/N: Firstly, sorry for taking so long to upload. I can say that this will be over by tomorrow and I, for one, am kinda sad that it's over. Why can't there be more letters in the alphabet? Never mind. I shold have 'Y' up later but for now there's this. Thanks for sticking with me so far guys! Thanks go out to theputz913, AALiz, Christy811 and LiseCate this time. Keep reviewing, please help me get to over 50?

Okay, I am a huge X Files fan and so I thought I might as well put that in here, save me doing something stupid and boring for X. I used to watch it with my dad when I was younger and one day I came home with his entire VHS collection of XFiles on my bed, it reminds me of him so I thought it would be nice for KB to have a nice memory like that with her dad.

Sorry, reuploaded this chapter after a wonderful review from Kathinka who actually knew Kate Beckett's real age, thank you!


Kate,

Your laugh is more musical than a xylophone.

I'm more scared of your rejection than a xenophobe is of strangers.

Wow, finding a letter for 'X' is proving hard. I'm going to cheat on this one.

You told me you used to watch those daytime soap operas with your mother, I know that that's kind of embarrassing but why didn't you tell me that you used to watch X-Files? I can just see it, little 13 year old Katie Beckett watching the TV, swooning over David Duchovny and admiring Agent Scully's heels while your dad was telling you not to sit too close to the T.V. Your dad told me you recorded episodes on old video tapes and replay them, over and over, instead of waiting to buy them at the store. Apparently they were in one of the first boxes you packed ready for college, I think it's cute. It makes you seem more human, having these little secrets and obsessions, rather than your usual goddess like self.

So, I've almost finished packing up this room. One last stop for a couple of days and I'm done, I can be back with you yelling at me for doing stupid things and holding you when you sleep. Paula is already trying to set me up for my next tour but I've refused.

I don't know if you thought I was serious last time but I really would like it if you would come with me next time. We could make a holiday out of it, use up some of those vacation days you have stocked up. To quote something you once told me, "I have a hard job and having you around makes it a little more fun."

Aha! I knew it would be on one of those 24 hours channels, X-Files. Maybe this'll give me an insight into you head. What a wonderful place it must be to not believe in magic but to religiously watch a TV show centering around aliens.

That's it, you're Mulder and Scully. I thought that I was Mulder, the joker and believer and that you were Scully, the brains of the operation and keeping me grounded with all my CIA theories but I had it wrong.

You might not believe in magic like I do or in the things that I think you should but you do believe in something. You believe in yourself, your friends and family. You believe in your fight for the truth; in this seemingly never ending search for answers about your mother, the man who shot you, the dragon. Everything.

You're driven by your loss, for you it's your mother and for Mulder it was his sister.

You are fiercely loyal, almost to a fault just like Scully.

Some days it feels like you're bigger than this, this life you lead, that we're building together. It's like you're part of something greater that we aren't seeing right now. It's like we're some television show and the audience is laughing at us for not seeing the obvious.

I don't care. It's always been about the journey. About the road we take and not our final destination. Walking this path with you is worth not know a couple of the answers.

'X' is for 'The X-Files' because as silly as it may seem, the truth is out there.

And we'll find it.

Together.

Always.

Rick.
