Author's notes: This is my 3rd story. The first one not based on a song. I wanted to write something related to Easter, but I think I got just a little carried away here. Oh well, let me know what you think. It all started yesterday afternoon when I was driving Scully home after we finished our investigation. It must have been the new spring weather because she wanted to stop and have lunch in the park. Of course, I agreed to. I would do just about anything she asked me to. What I forgot about was that it was the day before easter. So we picked up a couple of subs and went to the park only to discover that there was an easter egg hunt going on. Scully of course wanted to stay and watch so we did. While she was watching, I couldn't help but remember when Samantha and I used to go to egg hunts. That was a long time ago. I remember that Easter used to be my favorite holiday, right after Christmas and right before Halloween. Sam and I used to dye eggs the Satuday before Easter right before we went to the egg hunt. Then we have eggs in our lunch every day for the next two weeks. But it was worth it. Then on Sunday mornings, we would wake up early just like Christmas and there would be easter baskets full of candy for us. Mom would feed us breakfast and let us eat a piece before sending us off to get ready for church. Easter Sunday was one of the few times during the year that we all went to church. I had forgotten about that. I remember getting all dressed up and riding to church and then being sent to the children's class. I always wanted to go with the adults, but I never got the chance. After Sam was gone, we never went back. ************************************** I wonder what Mulder is thinking about. He hasnt' said a word in almost 10 minutes. That has got to be a new record for him. Usually he's off and running on any subject he can think of. Oh well, it's kinda fun to sit here and watch the children. I remember egg hunting as a child. It was always fun. I wonder if Mulder ever went. "Hey Mulder" I say "Hm Scully" "When you were little, did you go egg hunting?"I say "Uh yeah, til I was 12." Mulder replied "Did you like it?" "Yeah, it was great, but I liked Sunday mornings the best." "Why?" I ask. "Well, it was fun getting up to an Easter basket and then going to church." says Mulder "You liked church?" I ask a little surprised. "Well yeah on Easter, I always kind of enjoyed the stories." "The stories?" I say "Yeah, where else could you here stories about a virgin birth or people raising from the dead. There were very interesting. Kind of like the X-Files" "Of course, I should have known that you would think those stories were cool." says Scully. "What didn't you like the stories? If you don't even believe what your church tells you, no wonder you don't believe any of our x-files." "Of course I believed them. I'm just surprised you know them Let alone think they could possibly be true. Then again, I bet you have theries on how all these things happened." "Well yes I do, would you like to hear them? " " No not really but I'll make a deal with you, you come to church with mom and me tomorrow and then you can take me out to dinner and tell me all your theries for one meal okay?" says Scully. "Okay."I reply,thinking I always wanted to go to the adult service and who am I to turn down a meal from my partner. It's not like I have anything better to do. I was planning on dropping by her apartment tomorrow anyway. I forgot that she wouldn't be there. "Okay, pick you up at 8 in the morning then. Come on let's go." So I took my partner home and this morning we went to church. I have to admit it's a huge difference from when I was a kid but still, I enjoyed it. I just didn't tell Scully so. Then I took Scully out to a nice lunch since we were already dressed up and I've never had the oppurtunity to before. I even managed not to talk about my theries for the entire meal. In fact, I convinced her to have take out and a movie with me earlier tonight. Of course, I had to let her pick out the movie. No alien autopsy though that may have been a better choice. Instead, we watched My Best Friend's Wedding which neither of us had seen. I had the strangest feeling all through that movie and Scully kept looking at me rather oddly. In fact, I even caught her crying. I couldn't help but thinking it was a little like us. The movie must have gone to my head because when I was leaving. I went to hug her good night and actually kissed her instead. I don't know what I was thinking and instead of stopping it immediatly, I let it go on. She even kissed me back. When I stopped, she looked at me a little dazed and I left because I didn't know what to say. I wonder what we are going to do. I love Scully have for a long time, but I don't want to hurt her and that's what would end up happening I'm sure. Oh well, maybe we can just pretend it never happened. Well, that's all she wrote for now. Send your comments, flames, advice, whatever to twbird@geocities.com
