After the events that happened before we came to Mulder's apartment, I'd say we all needed to sit down and take a breather. Mulder is off wrapping some sort of gifts and Perez and I are warming up some water for hot chocolate.
"Mulder where is the mix!" I yelled.
"Found it," Perez said standing up and tossing the mix on the counter.
"Honestly I didn't think he would have any. He only seems to have beer and maybe some cheese in the fridge always."
"Heh yeah," Perez said taking some cups out of the shelves above the stove.
"So, what...I mean....did you believe what the old man said." I said filling the cups with water.
"Um, kinda." Perez said adding marshmallows to the cups.
"How kinda," I said taking the first sip.
"I really don't know who to trust anymore but you guys, but what he said about a future with you, I didn't know what to think."
"Same here. Scully!" I said, "what did you think about what the old man said."
"Honestly?"
"Yeah."
"Um, I didn't believe him."
"At all."
"Nope"
"Not a little."
"Maybe a little."
"Oh," I said sitting down on the chair next to the tv.
"Mulder," Perez said,"what about you?"
"Um," Mulder sat down next to Scully," kinda, a little, not really."
"Ok so we are all on the same page."
"What page would that be," Scully said grabbing a beer.
"That we sorta believe him."
"Sure," Mulder said looking down at his feet.
I could tell me was believing it more than the rest of us. I wanted to believe he was right. But I didn't. At all. A little price of me wished. I wanted to know my future like the rest of us, but someone telling us is like seeing isn't believing. I've been told we control our own future. We change what we want.  But I feel we all have a plan. That a greater force will always be in control. A God. The God. Just God in general. I've been to church with Scully. The way she believes, I wish I could believe in something like that.
"So, I have a present for each of you," Mulder said, "here."
He handed each of us a gift. Each of the gifts shaped and weighed different.
"Do I get to open mine first," Perez said starting to open his.
Mulder's chuckled,"Sure."
Perez quickly opened his and it was a gift card to a sports store down the block from the headquarters.
"Heck yeah!" Perez shouted, "Now I can get new track cleats."
Perez started going to a school near the headquarters so he could join the track team. He was the fastest in his school. He only goes to a few of his classes so he can also work at the FBI too.
"You go," Perez said motioning towards me.
"Ok, ok," I said slowly opening the small box.
"Wow," I said gently touching the small object.
"Thats for you getting us out of there the other day," Mulder's said.
"Um, i don't know what to say," I whispered putting on the small bracelet.
"That's so pretty," Scully said leaning over me to see the small letters on the back of the chain.
The back of the bracelet said 'closer to home' and the initials of my parents and my brother.
"Mulder, I," I said.
"Scully go," Perez said.
Perez was like a kid in a candy store, I've never seen him so excited for something ever.
"Ok," Scully said.
She unwrapped the small object turning it over and over in her hand.
She put the cassette into stereo and turned up the volume.
And a song started playing.
It was...........
