Why did Julius ceaser decide to march aginest the Gauls?
Julius Caesar sought to establish power over the capital in order to bring about political reform he thought necessary to keep Rome a dominant power throughout the Mediterranean . To do this he needed to centralize the power within Rome itself and to bring the provinces under stronger Roman control . He did this by assuming dictatorial powers in order to affect these reforms throughout Rome and the provinces .
Another viewpoint:
He was forced to do so because his time as a magistrate had run out and he had lost his immunity from prosecution. His co-consul of 10 years before - Bibulus - had been waiting for this day so that he could prosecute him for impiety, which carried the death penalty. Caesar had asked for an extension of his magistracy and one legion to keep his immunity and have a bodyguard, but this was rejected by the Senate. Exposed, he had no option but to sieze control while he still had the legions from Gaul responsive to him.

What was Cleopatra's relationship with Julius Caesar was like?
The relatioship between Cleopatra and Caesar was one of mutual benefit, as was Cleopatra's relationship later with Marc Antony. One of the reasons that Caesar came to Egypt in the first place, was to see about payment of the massive debt that Egypt owed him. Cleo's father had borrowed heavily from the Roman money lenders in order to get his throne back, and Caesar and Pompey had bought up the debt. Pompey, being dead, Caesar could claim all the cash. However at that time Egypt was in financial trouble. So, Cleopatra was established on the throne, (Caesar had the authority to do this) along with her brother, and in return Caesar was to start getting payments. Forget about the big romance fable, knowing the character of Julius Caesar, the "romance" could not have been more than a one night stand. At any rate, Caesar, who was a good judge of character, never trusted Cleopatra. Proof of this is in the words of the officer who wrote the history of the Alexandrian War. He says that Caesar left four legions in Egypt for a double purpose. One was to safeguard Cleopatra and her brother, if they remained loyal, (they lacked popular support in Alexandria,) and the second was to coerce their loyalty if they were ungrateful.
Caesar and Cleopatra's relationship was nothing like the romantics would have you believe. As Caesar was a known womanizer, he probably had a one night stand or two, with Cleo and then went on to other "conquests". Yes, there was a child, but his paternity is seriously disputed. At any rate, the relationship between Caesar and Cleopatra was for their mutual benefit. Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy XII, had been ousted from his throne and he wanted it back. He went to Rome and took out massive loans in order to pay armies to get his throne back. He died before he could repay. The money lenders in Rome, anxious for a return on their investment, sold the loan to the two wealthiest men in Rome, Caesar and Pompey. Caesar came to Egypt, not only chasing after Pompey, but chasing after his money too. In the settlement after the Alexandrian War, Caesar established Cleo on the throne, with the understanding that Cleopatra would pay him what he was owed. He left troops with her when he returned to Rome, both to see that she remained on the throne (the Alexandrians did not want her as queen and were notorious for overthrowing their rulers) and to made sure that she held up her end of the bargain, as, according to the writer of the Alexandrian war, Caesar did not entirely trust Cleopatra.
