SUMMARY: Did anything change on New Year's Eve?
DATE: 11/27/2004


Scully woke up, showered, dressed, ate breakfast, 
tidied her apartment.

She couldn't quite decide if she felt different or 
not.

They'd kissed last night, for reasons that had 
nothing to do with imminent danger of death, and it 
had been - sweet. Real. A perfect first kiss.

But it had also been New Year's, and she wasn't sure 
it meant anything. Did she want it to mean something?

She couldn't decide if she hoped he'd call, or not.

The phone rang. "Scully."

"Scully, it's me. Skinner just called, he has 
something he wants -- ... what?"

She couldn't believe it; he'd heard her smile. Same 
old unchanging Mulder. "Nothing, Mulder. I'll meet 
you at the office."

"Ok. See you there. ... Scully?"

"Hmm?"

"... Happy New Year?" He said it softly, shyly, as a 
question.

"... Happy New Year, Mulder."

Scully grabbed her coat and waltzed out the door.

Maybe things *were* changing.

She grinned. Nah.
