They Bee-Long Together

Scully stood out in the rain, waiting for Mulder to show 
up. She was wearing her best dress, a racy black number. 
She looked down at her watch again to see what time it was. 
Mulder finally showed up, and he was wearing his best suit. 
He gave her a thoughtful whistle and grin and she rolled 
her eyes at him, smiled and laughed. She was looking 
forward to getting to the nightclub to dance. It had been 
far too long since they'd been out together.

He took her to his car and they went off. He turned the 
radio on and started to sing, and smiled at her. He 
couldn't believe just what a lucky man he was. To be with 
such a beautiful lady. They continued to drive on as the 
rain continued to fall. He finally stopped the car, parked 
and got out. Scully asked him if it was the right place. He 
nodded and said yes and they went into the building.

They handed their coats to the bouncer and went out onto 
the dance floor and started to dance. But as they were 
dancing, a mysterious man asked if he could cut in. He had 
a head of white hair and a voice that sounded just like a 
bee's buzz. Mulder looked at him in astonishment and so did 
Scully. They wondered just where he had come from. He 
looked so familiar somehow, but yet they couldn't quite 
place him.

He asked again, "Mind if I cut in?". This time Mulder 
stepped back and the stranger started to dance with Scully. 
She started to feel very uncomfortable and the word 
'platonic and petulant' entered her head. She wondered why, 
but the way the man composed himself answered that 
question. He seemed unsure of himself. The music ended and 
Scully went to a nearby table with Mulder after they had 
excused themselves from the mystery man.

Mulder asked her who that was, and she was unable to give 
an answer. All she said to him was that he reminded her of 
someone that they'd seen before who stopped them from 
falling in love. She grinned at him and then said that she 
was glad that what had stopped them before didn't prevent 
them from doing so and that she never regretted being with 
him.
