Out of the Blue!

Strolling outside of the federal building Mulder frowned. Someone else was
in his favorite spot. That was HIS spot. And he wasn't a happy camper
finding someone in HIS spot. Scully caught up with her partner and was
surprised to find him, shifting from foot to foot, pouting.

"Uh, Mulder? Maybe you should have gone before we came out here to eat
lunch." Startled, Mulder looked at his partner. "Scuullyyy," it sounded like
he was whining, even to his own ears. "I DON'T have to go." He made a face
at her. "Look at that guy. He's in my... uh... our spot. Make him go away
Scully."

Scully bit back a chuckle as she looked at her partner. Sometimes he seemed
more like a little boy than a grown up agent. "Mulder, why don't you make
him move?"

Mulder gave her his classic puppy dog look. "You have a gun, Scully. Shoot
him."

Unable to hold it back, Scully giggled. She took Mulder by the arm and
propelled him over to the other side of the sidewalk where they sat on the
built-in bench along the walkway. Her grin widened as she watched Mulder
shooting daggers at the guy.

She handed her partner a sandwich, hoping it would take his mind off the
fact they weren't in their favorite spot.

As she handed the sandwich to Mulder she couldn't help but notice it was
beginning to get windy. Looking skyward she hoped it wasn't going to rain.
It had been raining all week and they were both tired of being cooped up
inside. Sadly, she could hear thunder off in the distance.

Mulder was getting ready to voice the same thoughts to his partner when they
were both knocked suddenly to the ground. He hadn't heard a thing, but now
his ears were ringing and a tingling feeling was going through his whole
body. He opened sticky eyes and looked for Scully. Finding her next to him
he was relieved when she reached out for his hand. His voice was thick, but
couldn't hide his excitement. "Scully! Was it aliens?"

Scully looked at Mulder with blood shot eyes. "Only you would think that
after being struck by lightning. Oh no!"

She had glanced over to where the guy had been sitting in their spot. He was
burnt to a crisp. Obviously the bolt of lighting had given him a direct hit
and she and Mulder were lucky to get by with just getting knocked out for a
few minutes.

Later that day the two agents were released from the hospital with orders to
take the next few days off. AD Skinner was with them; happy to see his best
agents were alive and well. He packed them both off to their respective
apartments, knowing full well they would probably end up together before the
night was over.

And he was right. Mulder and Scully spent the rest of the evening arguing
over whether or not it was really aliens or lighting that had knocked them
out.



The end.
