Some Things are Better Left Unknown or Unsolved

======================

"It shocked the whole state of Louisiana when the murder at Water World Park happened. On May 2 there were 40,000 people at the park, an all time record. At 9:30 PM, an hour and a half after closing time, a shot was heard
coming from one of the ladies rest rooms, followed by a blood curdling scream. Nineteen year old Miss Louisiana Julie Christennsen died in the shooting from a gun shot wound to the head. The only problem was, it wasn't heard
by any of the public. A gun was found at the scene and was proven to be the murder weapon. A knife was also found but it had blood on it from someone other than Julie. All of the staff had gone home for the night. If you
have any information on this incident please call your local law enforcement agency."

"That's the article Mulder, it doesn't help us very much, why did you want to take this case?" Agent Scully said very annoyed.

"You don't like water parks Scully? This could be fun." Mulder said with a puppy dog look on his face. The only reaction that got from Scully was one of her famous "eat a bag of shit" looks.

"Mulder I'm serious, why did you take this case? It doesn't seem like an X-File to me." Scully announced walking over to a chair in Agent Mulder's office, sat down and crossed her legs so she was facing him.

"No really Scully, I'm serious. We haven't had a break in ages. I felt that this case would be pretty simple. We could just fly out to Louisiana, solve this case, and even have some fun at the same time." Mulder walked
over, kneeled in front of Scully and took her hands in his. "Besides, when do we ever get any time alone?" Mulder asked.

"Well, pretty much close to never." Scully said. "But why all of a sudden does this make any difference to you now?" Scully asked. She knew the answer and she wanted this just as much as he did, but she pretended like she
didn't.

"Scully, just trust me on this one, it will be fun. Okay?" Mulder replied, giving her the puppy dog face again.

"Fine Mulder, okay." Scully said smiling at him. She really wouldn't have said no, she always enjoyed roller coasters, but she would like them even better if she was riding next to Mulder.

"Good, because I already bought the plane tickets to Louisiana." Mulder said.

"We should leave in about 6 hours," Mulder replied.

=============================
Washington International Airport
Washington, D.C.
6:25 PM
=============================


The two agents ran through the airport two minutes before takeoff. All of a sudden Scully tripped on the string of her bag and fell against Mulder. Mulder picked her up in his arms and started running carrying her, his bags
and her bags.


"Mulder, put me down!" Scully yelled laughing uncontrollably.

"I just didn't want you to make us miss our flight, Scully." Mulder said as he put her down by the door to the terminal. A lady stood by the door to collect their tickets. After Mulder put Scully down she flashed him a
nasty look.


"Are you newly weds?" The lady asked them.

"We sure are," Mulder replied kissing Scully on the cheek. The only reaction that got from Scully was a look of total shock. Mulder was just quite relieved that didn't appear on her face until after they had walked away
from that lady. He just wanted to kiss Scully and that seemed like a good enough excuse.


"Was that really necessary?" Scully sighed once they sat down on the plane.

"What, when I carried you, or when I kissed you?" Mulder asked smiling at Scully.

"Both, I guess Mulder. You certainly have acted like were on some kind of a honeymoon. We've never even gone on a date. When we go out to eat it's when were on a case. It seems to me, Mulder, that you want to be more than
just friends or partners. Am I right?" Scully asked. The truth was she wanted to move to the next step in their relationship herself.


"Gosh Scully, the thought never even crossed my mind," Mulder lied. He saw the look of disappointment on Scully. "Maybe I should just tell her the truth," Mulder thought to himself.


"You really want this case don't you?" Scully asked, interrupting Mulder's thoughts.

"No." Mulder said sarcastically as Scully shot him one of her looks again. "I'm serious though Scully. It really isn't the case I want. I just think we need some time together, alone." Mulder said. That
was the last thing they said to each other on the plane as Scully went over the case files and Mulder went into an on-line chat-room on his lap top. He typed with one hand though, because his other arm was around Scully. The
fact that Scully fell asleep didn't help there conversation either.

============
The Hyatt
The next day
7:00 AM
============

The next day they slept until 7:00, which was by there standards very late....or at least Mulder's standards anyway. "Wake up Scully! The park opens up in an hour." he whispered in her ear.

"What time is it?" Scully asked groggily.

"It's 7:00, the latest you've slept since Christmas. We have to get to the park early though so we can check out the ladies rest room." Mulder said with a grin on his face.

"Oh, so that's why you took this case." Scully said sitting up in the bed and returning the same grin.

====================
Water World Park
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
7:42 AM
====================


They arrived at the park forty minutes later, only to be bombarded by screaming teenagers waiting to get in. They took out their badges and announced to everybody that they were from the FBI so they could cut through and get
in.

"Hi, I'm Cynthia and this is Elizabeth." A short girl said to Mulder and Scully with another taller girl standing beside her. "We'll sort of be your tour guides. You know, we'll show you around and answer any questions you
have. The rest room it happened in is obviously closed but the town fought for the park to stay open. They said it would lose a ton of money." Elizabeth said to them as Cynthia led the way to the rest room.

"What do you guys have to do with this case?" Scully asked. Elizabeth and Cynthia gave each other nervous glances and turned to Mulder and Scully. Elizabeth put her hand on Mulder's shoulder and smiling she said, "We're in
charge of the rest rooms." and turned around to continue leading the way. Mulder could see the shock on Scully's face out of the corner of his eye.

"In charge of what?" Scully said purely annoyed.

"The rest rooms." Cynthia answered this time.

"We got that part, but what do you do when your in charge of a rest room." Mulder asked with a sarcastic tone in his voice.

"We either clean them or find someone else to clean them." Cynthia answered turning red in embarrassment.

"Were you there the night of the murder?" Scully asked but it sounded more like a statement than a question. Another nervous glance was shared by Elizabeth and Cynthia when Scully asked them that.

"Well, here's the rest room, we'll be right back." Elizabeth said and she and Cynthia walked away to the nearest restaurant.

"You don't think they did it, do you?" Mulder asked Scully.

"I don't have any reason not to." Scully said.

"You really think so? They can't be older than nineteen or twenty." Mulder replied starting to think that maybe Scully could be right.

"That's my point Mulder. They were probably at the same high school. The girls probably knew each other and hated each other. This is pretty much going to be an open and closed case. These girls Elizabeth and Cynthia
probably have keys to the park so they can clean after closing time. They could talk to the girl and then when everybody else is gone, bring her into the bathroom and shoot her." Scully stopped there because Elizabeth and
Cynthia were coming back.

"Everything okay girls?" Mulder asked them.

"Yeah, fine." Cynthia replied looking at the ground. "I know what you guys think and it looks bad, but we didn't do it."

"Well, we'll just have to see about that when we get the prints back from the police. But for now it all points to you girls so were taking you in to get your fingerprints. So come on with us." They walked out of the
bathroom just as all of the people that were waiting outside started to run in. They took the girls to get there fingerprints but the police wouldn't give them the evidence until the next day so they let the girls go home and
they went back to their hotel room.

====================
The Hyatt
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
9:41 AM
====================

The two agents sat on the opposite sides of a bed when they got back to there hotel room. "God, what is her problem?" Mulder thought to himself. He hated when he and Scully got into fights. He hated it even more when he
didn't know why she was mad at him. Right now she wouldn't even talk to him though. "Scully... I'm sorry, for whatever it is I did."' Mulder started.

"Shut up, Mulder, I don't want or need to talk about it." Scully snapped.

"Okay, I'm sorry though, I really am." Mulder whispered, just loud enough so she could hear it. Making her upset made him upset and he couldn't handle it.

"Oh crap, now shes going to cry." Mulder moaned quietly to himself. He hated it when people cried. There were many times when he just wanted to cry in front of Scully but he held it in. He always hoped that if there were
times he just couldn't hold it in that she would be there to hold him and comfort him. He really cared for Scully and since she was crying right now he just wanted to go over to her and hug and kiss her. He loved her so much
and each and every day he looked at her she just grew more and more beautiful, obviously, because she wasn't growing any taller. The 34 year old agent was stuck at a measly 5'3". Those were just his feelings though. He
hated going to work with a women he loved not knowing if she had the same feelings for him. Right now he had a pretty good guess but he wouldn't let himself think that way.

"God I wish he would leave. I just can't handle being in the same room with him. It drives me nuts. I just want to kiss him every time I look at him. Obviously so did that teenage chick at the water park. He sure enjoyed
how she looked at him. Actually they both looked at him that way. He probably has a million girlfriends, he sure doesn't need me for one." Scully thought to herself. And with those thoughts she burst out crying. "Mulder,
I'm really tired, I'm going to bed." She got up and got under the covers of the only bed in the hotel room. Mulder got up and sat down in a chair facing the bed.

He sat there staring at her and loving every feature on her soft face. He just loved the way her fiery red hair flowed down her face. He realized it didn't matter what condition she was in, she was still beautiful no matter
what, even if her face was all puffy and red from crying, it made no difference at all. Mulder suddenly realized how tired he was too. It had been a really long day. He got up from his chair and made his way over to the bed.
He climbed in trying not to wake up Scully.

He fell asleep almost immediately. His last thought before he fell asleep was "Scully smells like strawberries." He had a lot of dreams that night but only one meant anything. He was floating and off in the distance he saw
a girl.

=========================
Somewhere out in LaLa land
=========================

"Samantha?" He whispered.

"Yeah Fox, it's me." The girl said. "I'm hear to tell you something."

"What?" Mulder asked. This was all to weird, even to him.

"Well, that redhead you work with loves you, and you love her." Samantha said so sure that it sent chills up his spine.

"How do you know that?" Mulder asked.

"Some things are better left unknown or unsolved in your case. Just trust me on this one. I think you'll like how it turns out in the end." Samantha replied.

"Wait. Why was she mad at me?" Mulder asked. He felt that at this time she knew everything else but this was bothering him just as much.

"Go ask her. This time she'll answer." And at that she slowly faded away.

Suddenly he woke up. He tried to sit up but he couldn't, his hair was caught on his pillow. As he turned over to see what it was, he realized it wasn't his pillow his hair was caught in, it was one of Scully's buttons on her
shirt. He had been using Scully's chest as a pillow. He tried not to move and act like he was asleep. If Scully woke up and saw what he was doing she would probably smack him.

"Mulder, are you awake?" Scully whispered.

"Oh, great." Mulder thought sarcastically to himself. All of a sudden he felt Scully's hand running through his hair.

"I was jealous of those girls yesterday. I hate it when you flirt with girls Mulder. I just wish it was me. I love you Mulder!" Scully cried out.

"My God Scully, I love you too!" Mulder sat up, forgetting his hair was caught and it ripped out. Scully jumped out of the bed just as her face started to turn red and started to run into the bathroom but Mulder was to quick
and he turned her around so she was facing him. "Scully don't you get it? I fell in love with you from the first moment you stepped foot in the door to my office. I have been trying to figure out how to tell you I loved you
for 5 years." Mulder said to her. And at that very moment he started crying.

"Oh Mulder! Don't you cry now!" Scully wrapped her arms around him and brought him down so they were sitting on the floor. She kissed him on the cheek, but Mulder turned his head so that it landed on his mouth. The kiss
continued for a long time. Mulder pulled Scully's chin down with his fingers to allow access for his tongue. They sat there and kissed a long soft but powerful kiss. They ended up on the bed, with each other in their arms.

"I think I owe you an apology now." Scully said.

"No, it was me who smiled at the girls who smiled at me first." Mulder replied. Scully lightly slapped him on the mouth.

"You put it so casually." Scully cried. "There was obviously more to it than that. You enjoyed those smiles."

"Well, put it this way I'm enjoying the ending." Mulder said and said a prayer to heaven that he trusted his sister.

The next day they got the results from the Louisiana FBI saying that the prints from Elizabeth and Cynthia didn't match the ones on the body or the murder weapon that was left behind. With that disappointing information
Scully and Mulder brought the girls in for questioning.

=====================
Baton Rouge Police Dept.
Interrogating Room
7:53 AM
=====================

"You know who did it don't you?" Scully asked them with an accusing tone in her voice.

"Did what?" They both asked at the same time. The girls sat next to each other slouching down in their chairs with their arms crossed. Mulder thought they looked so much alike that they must be mistaken as sisters a
lot....unless of course they are sisters.

"The murder." Scully answered sensing that this was going to be a long day.

"Are you two sisters?" Mulder asked.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Elizabeth asked him.

"Well, are you?" Mulder asked sitting down in a chair in front of the two girls. Scully came over and sat next to him.

"We're.." Elizabeth started but she got interrupted as the door to the interrogation room flew open and Assistant Director Skinner came in. In his hand was a plastic baggy with a piece of tape saying EVIDENCE in bold red
letters.

"We found a piece of Julie's shirt that contained her's and someone else's blood on it. If those ladies aren't helping you any why don't you bring them into the lab and we can take some blood samples." And he walked out of
the room slamming the door behind him, making everyone in the room jump in their seats.

An hour later Scully walked out of the lab and over to Mulder and the girls. "If you girls really didn't do it then you have a lot of explaining to do because your blood is all over that piece of Julie's shirt. I'd start
from the beginning if I were you." Scully said with what seemed to Mulder, a look of triumph on her face. To him, she looked like she had just won an award. What was really on her mind though was that she was just going to
solve the case and then spend the rest of the week with Mulder.

"I'll start." Elizabeth announced and Mulder pulled out his recorder, turned it on and set it in front of Elizabeth and Cynthia. "We didn't do it but we did have a part in it. Our best friend Tamara went for the Miss
Louisiana title but she obviously lost to Julie. She was crying for days and finally her boyfriend said to her "why don't you go and kill her?" He was just joking but she seemed to love the idea. Tamara knew that Water
World was one of Julie's favorite hangouts, but she also knew that we worked here and that we had access to the park after closing."

Cynthia continued, "Tamara called me and said she heard that Julie would be going to the park the next day. She just told me that she wanted to confront her in the ladies rest room after closing. I told her that was fine and
I could help her do that. I had no clue what Julie would be up against."

"So the next day after closing time I saw Julie walking between Tamara and her boyfriend. She was so pale like she had just seen a ghost. They all walked into the rest room and I got Elizabeth and we went in after them. All
of a sudden Chris, Tamara's boyfriend, pulled a gun on Julie. Elizabeth and I tried to run up and stop him but then Tamara pulled out a knife, cut both of us and shoved us into Julie. That's how our blood got on her. I
started screaming at Tamara that this was much more than just confronting someone and that we would all get caught and get into trouble. Then Chris was yelling at me to shut up. Oh God!" Cynthia stopped there and put her
face in her hands.

"Lets see where Tamara cut you." Mulder said. Both girls pulled up their sleeves. Cynthia had cuts going horizontally between her elbow and wrists. Elizabeth had a big gash in her shoulder.

"Did you get those checked out by a doctor?" Scully asked them. They both shook their heads no. "You may have needed stitches." Scully proclaimed.

"Oh well, we're fine." Elizabeth said. "Physically we're fine, but emotionally I'm sure it will take longer to heal than those scars. What we witnessed was a murder and we knew we should have come to the police sooner but
it's not as easy as it looks. It's one of those situations where you have to be in the other person's place in order to understand."

"Anyway on with the story. After Chris yelled at Cynthia to shut up she got really mad. I was really surprised, I think she kind of forgot he had a gun pointed at Julie. Cynthia told Julie to run out and then she went and
punched Chris in the nose. He was shocked and I think she broke his nose. He fell to the floor with his hand over his nose and when his hand with the gun hit the floor it went off and hit Julie in the head. I know there's
really no way to tell. It looked like an accident but Chris didn't look very upset either. He just got off the floor, grabbed Tamara by the arm and ran out. But before he did he threatened that if we told anyone he would do
the same thing to us as he had done to Julie. It's just awful...." Elizabeth's voice trailed off.

========================
The Hyatt
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
7:45 AM, the next morning
========================

"Special Agents from the FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully tracked down suspects Tamara Smith and Chris Johnson. They had their finger prints taken and it was found that Smith's were on the knife found in the rest room
where the murder of 19 year old Miss Louisiana, Julie Christennsen had taken place and Johnson's were on the gun that killed her. There was a court trial and Johnson was found guilty of first degree murder. His sentence was
25 years in prison. Smith was found guilty of assault and her sentence was 3 months in jail and 100 hours of community service. The article goes on from there." Scully read to Mulder sitting on their bed in the hotel room
with her back facing him.

"Gee, isn't that special, we even made it on the front page." Mulder said sarcastically turning around to face Scully. "I have a confession to make." He said, loving the anxious look that came upon Scully's face. Well,
actually he just loved every look that she made, he just loved her.

"I can't wait to ride the rides with you. Lets go!" Mulder said laughing. That really wasn't what he wanted to say but he figured he would leave that until later.

Figuring he was going to have something better to say Scully gave Mulder a shove as she walked behind him. "Mulder is full of surprises, but he has to think up of better ones." Scully thought to herself.

====================
Water World Park
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
8:37 AM
====================

When they got to the park it wasn't very crowded. The town was still scared of the park after the murder. That was just better for Mulder and Scully so they could get on the rides quicker.

They went on the Hurricane first because it was the fastest in the park and the second fastest in the nation. Mulder made sure that on every turn he flew as far as he could onto Scully. He also noticed that she didn't mind
at all either which made him more confident in the question/confession he would make later that evening.

They also went on the Blizzard, the Tornado, The Great Wave and many other rides. They were saving the water rides for last. They spent most of their day in the wave pool. Scully wasn't that great of a swimmer but she
didn't want to admit it to Mulder. A couple of times the waves pulled her under so far she couldn't get back up and Mulder had to pull her up. She didn't even mind the fact that she could have died. In fact the thought
never even crossed her mind. The only thing on her mind was that she was in Mulder's arms and no matter what, that was a good, safe place to be.

When they went on the water ride The Great Wave, Scully's seat belt flew off too early and she flew screaming into Mulder's arms. When she climbed out of the pool she just stood there and let Mulder hold and comfort her.
Scully loved every touch from Mulder and she just wanted to tell him right that second that she loved him.

"Scully are you okay?" Mulder asked her.

"I love you Mulder," Scully blurted out. "Aw crap, that sounded so stupid." Scully thought and just buried her face in his chest.

"I know Scully, I know," Mulder said to her, wrapping them both in a big thick towel.

They walked over to a bench and sat down. Mulder pulled Scully close partly because she was still shaking and partly because he just wanted too. She took deep breaths and quickly calmed down.

"Do you want to go back to the hotel?" Mulder asked.

"Yes, I do. I had a great time but I'm kind of tired." Scully replied. After what had just happened on the Great Wave she knew she wouldn't be stepping on another water ride for quite some time. She never was that fond of
water rides except for on really hot and sunny days, and at least now she had a good enough reason not to be.

There wasn't much said on the way back from the water park. Scully couldn't believe how stupid she had sounded and was trying to think up of ways to live that one up. As for Mulder, what she had said had just given him all
the confidence he needed. He had been nervous at first but the major question he had, had just been answered. Just the very thought of Scully put a big smile on his face and he knew this was perfect.

====================
The Hyatt
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
4:12 PM
====================

When they got back to the hotel Mulder felt that it was a good enough time to ask what he was going to do that morning. "Um, Scully?" Mulder started. Suddenly he became nervous again.

"What?" Scully answered. Sensing Mulder's nervousness she walked over to him.

"That confession I was talking about this morning, well, I never actually made it. What I wanted to tell you was that we have been partners for 5 years. We seem to grow closer and closer everyday and I feel this is the right
thing. You know what they say, Scully, opposites attract," And they certainly were opposites in every thinkable way. He had brown hair with brown eyes and she had red hair with blue eyes. As for the height difference, well
we try to block that one out. Even there attitudes were different. But there was one huge similarity that made all the difference in the world. They both loved each other" At that he dropped one knee on the floor and
pulled something out of his pocket.

As soon as Scully saw this she knew exactly what was going on. "Oh my God!" She cried out. She was ready right then to just scream out "yes, yes I will!", but she figured she would wait for the question. She then realized
that her stupidity at the park had just turned into a very good thing.

"Dana Katherine Scully, will you marry me, Fox William Mulder?" Mulder asked her as he handed her a gold ring with 4 diamonds on each side of an Amethyst, her February birthstone.

"Yes! Yes! Oh my God, of course I will!" Scully yelled as Mulder took the ring and placed it on her left ring finger. She then fell into his arms where they shared the most romantic of all kisses. Once again Mulder thanked
heaven he trusted his sister Samantha for a great ending.
