Best Freinds Forever

Part Four: Hidden Treasure
There was something under Rodney's pillow. John wanted to know what it was, but Rodney wouldn't tell him.
"Please?" he begged. It must be something really cool, if Rodney wouldn't even show him.
"No!" Rodney sat down on top of his pillow.
"C'mon, Rodney," John wheedled some more.
"No!"
Today, though, John had help.
Rodney yelped as Ronon pushed him off from behind. He turned around and dove for something white just as Ronon kicked the pillow to the side and grabbed it himself.
There was a tearing sound.
Then Rodney was lying on the floor, with half a piece of paper in his hands.
Rodney stared from his own hands to Ronon's, where the other half was. His face crumpled.
John jumped back. Uh-oh. "Dr. Kate!" he yelled, just before the first screams started. "Dr. Kaaaaaate~~~!"
Ronon looked a little panicked. He dropped his half of Rodney's treasure and took up the call as well. Their shouting and Rodney's caterwauling brought the grown-up running.
"What? What's wrong?"
John pointed. "Rodney's crying again."
"Am not!" Rodney sobbed. He had stopped waving his arms in the air now and was just laying on his back, sniffling, clearly exhausted.
"What happened?" Teyla, still rubbing her eyes, came from the direction of the girls side of the room.
"They took my piece of paper, and they tore it!" Rodney shouted, sitting up to glare death at them all.
Kids were waking up all over the room now. Some started to cry. Teyla frowned at the commotion. She crossed her arms and glared at John and Ronon. "What did you do this time?"
"It's Rodney's fault," John whined. "He wouldn't let me see it."
Ronon shifted from one foot to the other. "I was just helping," he mumbled.
Dr. Kate, who had been talking to Rodney quietly behind them, now came over with Rodney carried in her left arm. She settled Rodney down on the ground and picked up the half-piece of paper that Ronon had dropped. "Is this it, Rodney?" she asked
Rodney nodded. But he still looked determined to stay mad. "I don't want it anymore. It's broken!"
"Oh, now, that's not true. You'd be surprised what magic tape can do."
Rodney's mouth dropped open at that, but it was John who spoke first: "Magic tape?"
"All of you be good, and I'll go get it."
They stared in wonder as she brought back a clear roll of sticky tape. After Rodney reluctantly released his half of the paper to her, she pieced them together and tore off a piece of tape with the most tantalizing sound they had ever heard: zrrrrr-chk!
"Wait, I want to do it," Rodney said in a rush, reaching out for it. She handed the curly bit of magic tape to him, and Rodney very, very carefully fitted it right across the center of the tear. Rodney picked up one corner of the paper, and the two halves came up together, stuck together in the middle.
"I want to do it, too!" John shouted. Ronon and Teyla started clamoring for a turn, too.
Rodney glared around at them. Finally, he seemed to give in. He sighed loudly and put the paper back down on the floor. Dr. Kate gave them each a piece of tape. They waited their turns impatiently but were careful to put the tape down exactly where Rodney told them to.
"Wow." It was perfect again!
"See? All better now," said Dr. Kate. Rodney nodded. He smiled just a little. She tousled his hair and left.
"What is it?" Ronon said.
"It's us!" Rodney replied. He turned the paper to the front and slapped his hands down on either side of it, showing it off. John didn't remind him that he'd been hiding it earlier.
It was a picture of John (hair sticking up and red eyes), Ronon (hair in big fat braids and red eyes), Teyla (long straight hair and red eyes), and Rodney (short hair and yellow eyes). They were holding hands, and above them, Rodney had written: "FRIENDS"
"Ohhh!" Teyla said, admiringly.
"Hey, nice," Ronon said.
John frowned. "You spelled freind wrong," he said.
Rodney glared. "No, I didn't. You spelled it wrong."
"Did not."
"Did too!"
"You can't write freind and put the word 'end' in it," John exclaimed. It made him feel all fluttery just to think about it.
"Oh." Rodney's eyes were very wide.
"Let us change it," Teyla said.
"But, but, it's wrong," Rodney protested, even as Ronon ran off to get a pencil. He scowled and complained some more, but finally, he snatched the pencil and carefully erased the 'ie' in 'friend', replacing it with 'ei' in his neat, blocky print. "There, happy?" he said.
"Wait." John took the pencil and lay down on his belly with the piece of paper in front of him. He scrawled another word underneath. "Okay," he said, pleased.
"I want to write something, too," Teyla said, taking the pencil. She bit her lip in concentration as she looped an extra word in front.
"That's not fair," Ronon grumped. "What will I write?" He took the pencil anyway and stared at the paper for a long time before his face lit up. He got down and drew three big exclamation points at the end.
They all looked at it. "Coooool," they said. There just wasn't anything else left to say.
