   Where's Scully?	   
   Sara B.   
      
   Mulder led the trio into the office. Scully sat at the little table   
   that she'd scrounged up to serve as a desk reading something on   
   the Laptop's screen. She welcomed the guys warmly. Frohike greeted   
   her in his usual smarmy way. They both knew it was a joke and they   
   were comfortable with it.   
      
   Scully really liked the three Geeks. She always thought of herself   
   as a geek so to her it was a bond of like creatures, so to speak. As   
   soon as the pleasantries were done, she turned off her machine and   
   made her exit citing a previous engagement.   
      
   Frohike noticed the shy way she'd acted when telling them.  Her   
   obvious disappointment as she looked at Mulder when she realized he   
   wasn't going to ask her about it.   
      
   After she left, Mulder was showing off the newly returned office. He   
   was so busy pointing out this and that he failed to notice that   
   Frohike was taking his own little tour.   
      
   When he finished Mulder asked "so what do you think?"   
   Langly and Byers both gave words of encouragement but Frohike   
   remained silent. "One precinct yet unheard from.  Come on Frohike   
   spit it out." Mulder was grinning.   
      
   "Where's Scully?"   
      
   "She left.  You watched her go out the door.  Surly you remember.   
   Don't you?" The amused Mulder placed his hand on   
   Frohike's brow.   
      
   "No Mulder, I'm asking in this office where is Scully? I see   
   you everywhere but I don't see one thing, besides her laptop that   
   says Agent Scully works here. She doesn't even have a space for   
   her   
   medical books.  Hell she has a lopsided table not a desk. AND she   
   doesn't have a nameplate on said table nor on the door. So I   
   repeat Mulder where is Scully?"   
      
   Mulder looked around the office. He started pointing a few times but   
   stopped each time as he realized it wasn't a Scully thing.   
   Suddenly his left hand went to his hip and he buried his face in the   
   right.   
      
   Shaking his head the guys heard him mumble "you incredible   
   ass."

   Two weeks later:   
      
   Scully opened the office door, Mulder sat at his desk reading some   
   magazine. He gave her a perfunctory greeting but never really   
   acknowledged her. She shrugged it off just like nearly every other   
   morning. She removed her coat and walked toward her 'area'.   
      
   The sight made her step back two paces and look around to Mulder.   
   This time he was standing behind her with a huge grin and a bouquet   
   of flowers.   
      
   "Mulder, I don't understand."   
      
   "About time don't you think?"   
      
   Stunned Scully walked over and sat down in her new chair in front of   
   her new desk that held her new nameplate that read simply   
   "Special Agent Dana Scully MD" She turned toward Mulder and   
   smiled.
