'Uber?' Scully asked, raising those perfectly manicured eyebrows 
to emphasis her surprise. Admittedly she'd been a bit distracted 
with work lately after re-training to be a super-surgeon, but she 
thought she'd have noticed if Mulder had bought a new car. Although 
as it had been over 7 years since his last 'incident' she figured 
his insurance would probably cover him again now. Not that she was 
letting him near her wonderfully shiny top-of-the-range branded car 
anytime soon.

'Hitchhiked' he deadpanned. And then realising that it was likely 
too early in the day to expect Scully to have a sense of humour 
(by his count she'd have only had three coffees so far), he added 
'Relax Scully. I'm kidding'.

'I just worry about you, Mulder.'

'Not to worry, Doc. I'm taking good care of myself.'

'It's good for you to get out of that little house every once in a 
while.' If only for him to have an excuse to wear those rather sexy 
sunglasses she thought, but didn't say. Those kind of comments were 
best left unspoken. At least in public.

'It certainly was good for you.' He replied. 'You look a lot better 
than you did this morning.' She'd been cranky when she left their 
unremarkable house for an early shift at the hospital, which rather 
hurt his ego as they'd some pretty fantastic sex the night before.

'Yeah sorry about that. You know how lack of sleep gets me grumpy.' 
Not that she was complaining about the cause. And that thing he did 
last night - wow. Nope. Definitely no complaints there. 'So do you 
really think this Tad guy is credible?'

'Nah. Just another internet nutter I reckon. Anyway he's late and I 
can think of a better use of our time than standing on a street 
corner. Care to take me for lunch?'

'Sure. It's not as if we have time to get involved in any government 
conspiracies now anyway. I'm booked solid with super-surgeries for 
at least the next six weeks and you've got you book launch in Fiji 
coming up.'

'You're right. Plus I reckon we're getting a bit too old for this 
kinda thing now. Fancy popping over to that fancy hotel you always 
stay in when you have to work a double shift and doing that thing 
from last night again?'

'Sure. But I'm driving'.

Yeah. So that helped with my post-season 10 angst a little bit. The 
Fiji mention is a shaemelss plug for some of my other 'Shortest 
Ever' re-writes (on Gossamer) where M&S have prolonged 
sex-fueled breaks in Fiji. Mostly just because it's a funny word 
to say. Fiji. See? :)
