"Oh My God Mulder!  Where did you learn to do that?" she
asked breathlessly.  

"What?"

"That thng with your mouth."  

"Lots and lots of practice."  he said with a grin.

Scully raised her head and looked into his smiling eyes.

"Practice, huh?  And who may I ask have you been practicing
with, Mulder?"

"Not with Scully, but what?"

"Excuse me?"

"You don't think I've been eating sunflower seeds all this
time for the flavor, do you?"

"Muldeeeeer........"

"Hey, we never opened our fortune cookies from the take-out
tonight.  Let's see what they have to say."

"Mulder, you are kidding, right?"

"Ah, come on Scully humor me."

"Alright.  Let me go get them.  I think I left them on the
coffee table."

Scully padded out of the bedroom while Mulder laid back and
enjoyed the view with a grin on his face.

"Here.  Pick one."

Mulder opened his and began to laugh.

"What? What does it say?"

"You're present plans are gonna succeed. Hmmmmm..........."

"Mulder?"

"Given the circumstances and the events of tonight and the
results I would have to agree."

"Mulder!!  You planned this?"

Mulder shrugged his shoulder, giving her a sheepish grin.

"What does yours say?"

She cracks the fortune cookie in half and extracts the small
piece of paper.  She blinks several times as she reads the
inscription and then hands it to him.

"There is nothing left to you at this moment but to have a
good laugh."

They look at each other and then burst out laughing.

He pulls her into his arms and kisses her slowly but sweetly.

"Mulder, remind me tomorrow when we go by the store to pick
up a large bag of sunflower seeds."

"Why Scully?"

"Practice makes perfect, Mulder."

Giving her an evil grin he began to put years of practice to
the test once more.
