Where did you learn to do that?" she asked breathlessly. "What?" "That thng with your mouth." "Lots and lots of practice." he said with a grin. Scully raised her head and looked into his smiling eyes. "Practice, huh? And who may I ask have you been practicing with, Mulder?" "Not with Scully, but what?" "Excuse me?" "You don't think I've been eating sunflower seeds all this time for the flavor, do you?" "Muldeeeeer........" "Hey, we never opened our fortune cookies from the take-out tonight. Let's see what they have to say." "Mulder, you are kidding, right?" "Ah, come on Scully humor me." "Alright. Let me go get them. I think I left them on the coffee table." Scully padded out of the bedroom while Mulder laid back and enjoyed the view with a grin on his face. "Here. Pick one." Mulder opened his and began to laugh. "What? What does it say?" "You're present plans are gonna succeed. Hmmmmm..........." "Mulder?" "Given the circumstances and the events of tonight and the results I would have to agree." "Mulder!! You planned this?" Mulder shrugged his shoulder, giving her a sheepish grin. "What does yours say?" She cracks the fortune cookie in half and extracts the small piece of paper. She blinks several times as she reads the inscription and then hands it to him. "There is nothing left to you at this moment but to have a good laugh." They look at each other and then burst out laughing. He pulls her into his arms and kisses her slowly but sweetly. "Mulder, remind me tomorrow when we go by the store to pick up a large bag of sunflower seeds." "Why Scully?" "Practice makes perfect, Mulder." Giving her an evil grin he began to put years of practice to the test once more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes: This is dedicated to Sallie.
