Scully said as she tied it's knot back into place. "Ah! That's it!" Skinner replied as he pushed her back, clearly insulted. "I've had enough with your shit. You don't see me behind my clothes." "Wait!" Scully tried to take back her words as Skinner took off in a hurry. "I didn't mean it that way!" she shouted as she ran after him in the hallway. But, it was too late. Skinner was gone and she was alone. She closed the door behind her as she walked back in her apartment. Then, she saw Kathy. "C'mere!" Scully ordered the orange tabby cat. "Let's take you back home." And, Kathy did as the doctor ordered. Once in the comfort of Scully's arms, she was scared by the ringing of a phone. Scully looked at her clock: 3:19am. "Hello?" Scully answered as she picked up the phone and went looking for the feline around her apartment. "Hey, Scully!" the voice at the other end of the line sounded surprised. "What are you doing still up at this hour?" "What are you doing calling me at this hour, Mulder?" Scully reacted coldly, spotting Kathy under her bed. "Good point: none of my business. Right?" Mulder giggled apologetically. "Right!" Scully signaled the cat to come out from under her bed. "You do sound busy..." Mulder pointed out Scully's shortness of breath. "I'm running around after Kathy." she responded. "Who's Kathy?" he actually seemed preoccupied, even jealous, of the fact that Scully was chasing a woman inside her own home. "That fat cat who's always bugging you when you come over." Scully confirmed. "Oh! I think that girl as a thing for you..." Mulder paused. "She's always trying to get inside your apartment." "But, what're you calling for, anyway?" she tried to make him speak. "I thought that if you were still up, we could go for a cup of coffee, to talk." he shyly admitted, as if he was asking her out on a date. "Yeah! Sure!" Scully was happy with the invitation. "But, you'll have to pick me up because I need some time to find that darn kitty and bring her back home." A few minutes later, Kathy was brought back home safe and sound. Mulder waited for Scully in front of her apartment building. She came out running. She was stunned when she found Mulder sitting in a brand new car, a lime green Volkswagen Bug with a yellow rubber ducky glued on it's dash. "Wow!" she said as she got inside the new automobile. "Great car! But, what the...?" she asked as she pointed out the plastic kiddy bath toy. "I just thought it looked cool with the wheels." Mulder smiled at his partner. "Say! Wanna go try it out and make out in a paking lot?" Scully couldn't believe her ears as the words came out of her own mouth. "Scul-lee?!" Mulder blushed. "I'm sorry!" she grinned. "I just ended a relationship on weird terms and I felt like doing something to forget about it." "S'alright..." Mulder stopped to turn around and study her. "Would here be a good place to start?" he wondered as he caressed her neck. "Feels good..." she moaned. "But, I have to warn you..." she interrupted herself. "What?" Mulder groaned as he leaned towards her to kiss her lips. "This changes nothing between us. We'll just be two friends trying to see if fooling around together fits them well." she breathed on his cheek. "Suits me fine!" he confessed as he closed his mouth on hers to take her in. "Me too." Scully mumbled as she sort of fell in a trance. Kathy suddenly reappeared out of nowhere, hopped on the hood of the car and watched the new found lovers make out in a very expensive car for it's size.
