I walk into work this morning and hear a crash. I open the door to find Mulder on the floor and his feet on his desk.

He gives me a goofy grin and attempts to make an excuse for why he fell. I shake my head and walk to my desk in the corner of the office.

"Hey Scully," Mulder is up off the floor now and reaching for the file on the left corner of his desk. "Hm," I respond half heartedly, not looking up from my book. "I found a good case for us, in Kentucky. It'd be like a getaway, but with aliens!" He said, with enthusiasm.

I turned my gaze from the book to his puppy eyes that were just begging me to come along. I smirked at him once again, and said "Alright, Mulder. Where in Kentucky?" He picked up the file again. "Lexington,"

A long moment of silence occurred while I stared at him. I try not to smile while saying "Ok, Mulder," I stand up and walk over to his desk to review the case file. "You win, I'll come with you." I acted like this was some bother to me, but on the inside I was jumping for joy. Maybe Mulder just wanted to spend time with me after all. I smirked at the thought of Mulder trying to woo me through an X File.

"Mulder," I turn to face him. "We'll be going to Lexington. We're going to see horses, right?" I pried. "I've always wanted to see the thoroughbreds in Kentucky." Mulder shrugged and said "Why not, Sculls. It'll be an alien horse adventure." I laughed at him, and walked back over to my tiny desk.

What a goof, I thought to myself. I wonder what he was thinking. I wonder if this is even a real case. I hope it wasn't, because I would really like some alone time with him. Without talking about aliens.

Who am I kidding, I love it when he talks about aliens. His happiness when he starts to talk about ufos and extraterrestrial life forms makes me smile. And boy, do I love his smile.

I want to see him smile, but not because of aliens. Because of me.
