Like this

Click on the line between the two clips. If you want a five second cross dissolve you will need to have at least that amount of extra material available for the shots in addition to the material edited into the timeline.

You should read or look at some basic tutorials about using the application. Need to look up basic information about handles in FCP.

SSounds like you want a transition. A basic cross dissolve should do what you want.
