Our next story was also nominated by lsugaralmond. It's another all things missing scene, because she suggested that it might be interesting to compare and contrast. So, go to it!

Oh, but wait, those were pretentious, weren't they, not sappy? Sorry, my bad.

LOL. That's exactly the distinction. :)

Is it that sappy to think Mulder might have just wanted to take Scully to England for a roll in the hay? Oh well.

Not at all. Just that the way he chose to express it seems a bit... standard. Mulder is far quirkier than that. I would expect him to say something like, "I wanted to sit with you inside West Kennet Long Barrow while the rain poured down outside." Which also reminds me, there's also a small factual error in the story as Mulder was going to Avebury and not to Stonehenge!

Scully: (whining, but in a charming way) "I don't know where or what West Kennet Long Barrow even is. . .(personal aside, I hope it is a nice bed and breakfast) What are you trying to say here, Mulder?"

Now, see, this is what a real Mulder/Scully conversation sounds like! :)

I can hear Mulder expounding on the site now, complete with a little slide show. Oh, but they're at his apartment. I guess the slideshow will have to wait. That does seem like a very Mulder-like place to want to visit, complete with a local legend of a ghostly visitation on Midsummer Night.
