“It’s sacrilege!”
John walked into the lab with that voice hurling abuse at, well, something. He looked around, only seeing Rodney at his desk, flapping a catalogue in the air angrily. He was alone, and looked quite comical sitting there, arguing with himself. John grinned.
“Rodney…”
“I can’t believe that they’ve done it!” Rodney slammed the catalogue on his desk in disgust. “They’ve gone and done it!”
“Done what?” John moved to pick the questionable catalogue up, only to be thwarted by Rodney’s hands as he snatched it away.
“You haven’t seen it, what are you, blind?” Again, Rodney flapped the catalogue in Johns’ face.
“I’m not blind Rodney. What are you talking about?” John was trying so hard to be patient, but when Rodney wouldn’t answer his questions, which was often, he got annoyed.
“This!” Rodney snapped, flapping the pages noisily yet again.
“Indiana Jones?” Johns’ eyebrows rose. Rodney was upset about Indiana Jones?
“Not! Indiana Jones!” Rodney said, hands in the air, proud chin up as is that explained everything in his short answer. Did the man ever *not* use his hands to talk?
“What?” John was confused now, Rodney was making no sense, in-between Rodney’s catalogue waving about the lab, the scientists’ hands and his incessant noise, and he was getting a headache.
“It’s not even Harrison Ford!” Rodney grumbled, sitting back on his stool, placing the catalogue open in front of him. The page was open at the Indiana Jones’ DVD collection, John noticed. He looked a little harder, and down the left column was an advertisement about the new Indiana Jones’ movie coming out in a few months.
“It looks like him.” John noted, moving the catalogue slightly to get a better look at the small glossy picture, depicting an older, but still just as handsome Harrison Ford in the leading role.
“You are blind!” Rodney cried disbelievingly, pointing fingers at John, waving a hand in front of his face so dramatically, John wondered if the man had done theatre in his time.
“Do you *want* me to take the DVD list off you?” John smirked, knowing it would get Rodney’s ire up.
“You wouldn’t dare!” Rodney stared, challenging John with a tilt of his chin.
“Try me.” John smiled.
“Fine.” Rodney pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. If John was lucky, he could avoid Rodney waving his arms around. The man had a deadly aim.
“It *is* Harrison Ford!” John insisted.
“Let me see that!” Rodney snatched the catalogue from in front of John and peered closely at the picture. “Huh.” Then Rodney smiled, a full smile, finally satisfied all was well in the Land of Indiana Jones
“Told you so.” John retorted.
“Are you 5 years old as well as blind?” Rodney snapped. It was bantering, back and forth. John enjoyed his time with Rodney like this. They’d de-evolve into children, letting them out to play like this. In the world of Pegasus Galaxy’s 6 O’clock News, death and destruction were all around them. This was a pleasant reprieve.
“*So* not blind…Harrison Ford, remember?”
“Yes, yes. Now go away, I have some DVDs to order.” Rodney turned back to his catalogue, flipping the page, looking carefully at the DVDs on the next page.
“Can I choose some too?” John looked over Rodney’s shoulder, fully intending to poke the page over him, irritating the scientist into reacting.
“No you can’t Major…not on my order form. Get your own.” Rodney closed the book, and placed his hands on the top. Damn. It looked like John was losing this particular verbal spar.
“Then you know what this means, don’t you?” Johns’ eyes lit up evilly as he eyed Rodney and the catalogue in front of him.
“What?” Rodney, suddenly suspicious, held the catalogue firmly between his two hands.
“Indiana Jones 5 and the Quest to keep Rodney from his DVD Catalogue!” John blessed his lightning fast reflexes and he reached out and yanked the DVD catalogue out of Rodneys’ hands. John took off, running out of the infirmary with a childish laugh over his shoulder, daring Rodney to chase after him.
“Oh you are *so* 5 years old…” Rodney yelled at the Majors’ retreating back, “Give me that! Major!”
John knew that Rodney did enjoy these little interactions though, as he heard heavy footsteps come after him, and John sped up a little...John wouldn’t let him have it any other way.
