Question
“Why?”
“Because.”
“Because, why?”
“Just because.”
“What kind of answer if that to the question of ‘why?’”
“The only one, Jack.”
“How about I clarify… WHY did you decide to dress up in a pink tutu and leotard and dance around the gateroom singing about how pretty you feel if you’re not high on drugs, Colonel Sheppard?”
“Because I felt like it. And I might have a bet with someone to go out with me if I did, Sir.” John had a huge grin on his face. If Jack admitted it he didn’t think John looked half bad, he had even shaved to look more feminine.
“Do I even want to know who hates you that much?” Jack sighed as he asked. John just grinned more before saying, “He loves me. He’s just playing hard to get.”
“Carry on. You have five more minutes before I come in here, tranq you and leave you to Carson’s tender mercies.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Smile
Opposite
We’re total opposites. I’m a scientist, the smartest man in two galaxies, three now that I’ve been on Destiny. He seems to find the most joy beating up soldiers and running around the city. Teyla seems to enjoy kicking his ass and showing that male does not mean better at fighting, and he even seems to enjoy that. He teaches me to protect myself, I teach him about science. Neither of us do very well in the other’s favorite things to do. Yet, we try. And somewhere in the middle I think we’ve reached the understanding that we’re really not all that different. And that makes every bruise and stupid question worth it.
Night/Tea (my choice)
Nights on Atlantis are the best time to be both productive and relax. Everyone is asleep in the middle of the night and therefore aren’t annoying Rodney from his very important work. And if he wants to take a break, he can go out on a balcony and enjoy both the lights of the city and the strange stars in the pollution-less sky.
“Rodney~” Make that most everyone is asleep.
“Yes, Major?” One must humor the Air Force over-grown child, it makes him go away faster.
“Colonel!~” John was practically singing as he literally danced into Rodney’s lap with a grin on his face.
“What did you get into this time?” Rodney sighed. John had a tendency of getting drugged by random people on the expedition because he was very funny high.
“Teyla gave me some yummy tea!~” John continued his dance to his own music over to Rodney and draped over him. “What’cha doing?”
“Something so far over your head when it’s on straight I’m not even going to try. Come on, I’m taking you home and sitting on you until you sleep this off.” Rodney knew when to give up. He never saw the sly grin John gave on this announcement.
Outdoors
“Why are there always so many damn TREES on these planets?” Jack complained as they walked through the stargate out into the bright daylight of another world that seems untouched.
“Well, Sir, the Ancients probably terra formed many if not all the planets they put stargates on to make a more habitable place to live for the people they seeded. That or they only put stargates on planets that were like Earth.” Sam had to be the first to attempt a scientific explaination.
“I’m a little more interested that they all look like the middle of nowhere Vancouver, BC. It’s a beautiful area to emulate, but it’s weird to look around and swear I’ve been here before while camping.” Daniel, of course, had his normal smart-ass remark.
“Indeed.” Teal’c was always short and to the point.
Groovy
Sweet
Can you imagine living without easy access to the sweet treats that we’ve all become used to? Not being able to run to the store and buy a tub of ice cream or a candy bar when you feel like it? Or coffee! I think in the beginning the hopefully people on Atlantis went through sweets like they would be able to continue to do this. The smarter people that knew it wasn’t going to be so easy to get back in touch with Earth probably horded both coffee and sweets because they knew it would be worth a lot in bargaining for other things. I think near the end of that first year the most valuable thing to own would have been a candy bar or a bottle of beer.
Even after they had the runs back and forth to Earth, pure refined sweets were probably still rare because I doubt the military thought it was a needed item and the only real source of anything sweet was probably care packages from home which were probably limited for space purposes.
Also, I can totally see Radek being the one running an underground black market because who would suspect him? Plus people were probably in and out of the science labs all the time for one reason or another so you would never be able to tell if they were there for a real reason or to trade chocolate for porn.
However, the longer they’re out there, the more likely they found foods that are naturally sweet that they can take and abuse the scientific knowledge and equipment that they had for the purposes of scientific exploration and start to refine and make their own sweets. As more and more time goes on, they would probably start to prefer the sweets that they make themselves while visitors are the ones sticking to the refined sugars from Earth.
