rating: PG 
summary: Scully's thoughts after Mulder's...um...revelation at the end of
"Triangle". This is a really short piece, just a thought about what she might
have thought.

Serious

Was he serious? How the hell should I know. Of course he wasn't serious. He
just got back from the bermuda triangle, for christs sake. He's on every drug
known to mankind and he just woke up from a coma. He's probably delusional, to
say the least. So of course he wasn't serious. And I did the right thing by
just waling away.

But suppose he was serious? Those three words I've been waiting to hear for
six damn years. Of course, I always imagined that when it was finally said
it'd be a little more romantic, or a little more believable at least. I always
though it'd be in a fit of rage or passion, when one of us just said it
without even thinking and once the words were said we'd just fall into each
other's arms and live happily ever after. But happily ever after doesn't often
happen in our lives, I suppose. It wouldn't be realistic, but it would be
nice. At least, it would be nicer than a drug-induced illusion in which he
could have been talking to a stack of pancakes for all he knew. Sure, he
seemed rational and with it and all, but he couldn't have been. 

But what if he was? What if he was completely and totally serious and all I
said in response was "Oh brother"? I could have finally been given the
opportunity I've longed for for six damn years, and I let it slip by. Wouldn't
that just suck. 

But I'm sure he wasn't serious. Tomorrow morning he'll wake up and have
forgotten any of what was said. Then we'll just continue going on with our
lives the way they are and eventually one day I'm sure one of us will sa
something. Cause I'm sure he wasn't serious. I'm sure of it.
