Nice wordplay on the prompt at both the beginning and the very end of this story. It seems appropriate that Jeannie's inadvertent reveal of Rodney's feelings to John takes place while the pair is comfortably engaged in one of their "couple activities"--readying those motorized cars for another race.

LOL Jeannie accidentally revealing Rodney's feelings - I love it :D Members of the expedition pairing up does make it seem like colonization is likely. I like the idea of them settling in Pegasus, with a strong, positive connection to Earth. I can just imagine Teyla and Jeannie skype calling each other and discussing their pregnancies XD John laying his head on Rodney's thigh ♥ ♥ The image of a marine pinching Rodney's cheek made me giggle - I can just picture Rodney's face.This fic made me happy :D

This is a lovely way to interpret the prompt! I love that the second phase in the Pegasus Galaxy has a better start than the first one. And the way Jeannie outs Rodney - that's very cute and absolutey believable! *g*

So sweet and so them! I loved their awkward sweet obliviousness towards each other. And, Jeannie's reveal was just perfect. Loved it! :)
