Halloween Treat

by banlu

Teaser

Scully decided to give out candy this year. Mulder

agreed to help.

Act I

“Scully, you should buy the candy you like so you can

eat the left-overs.”

“That’s why I don’t do that.”

Act II

There was one Mounds left in the bowl.

Mulder reached for it.

Scully stopped him.

Act III

They stood over the bowl, Scully’s hand on Mulder’s,

his poised over the Mounds.

“I thought you didn’t eat left-overs, Scully.”

“And you won’t either.”

“Why not?”

“Because I said so.”

Act IV

“You’re not my mother!”

“No, but I don’t want you kissing me with Mounds

breath.”

“What’s wrong with Mounds breath?”

“Coconut.”

Mulder moved his hand toward the candy bar.

Epilogue

Scully tugged.

“You’d rather eat a Mounds bar than kiss me?

Mulder tugged back. “I can kiss you anytime.”

Scully tugged again. “No you can’t”

“Yes I can.”

Mulder tugged hard enough to pull her to him.

And proved it.

Author’s notes: Wrote this when they were looking

for only 150 words fics. This has 148. I know it

didn’t need to be broken into acts, but I thought

it’d be fun!
