The Island strikes again.

Rodney McKay woke up that morning feeling just dandy. In fact, he felt gosh darn swell. There were birds tweeting outside his window, sun shining in through the curtains; why, it looked to be a real peachy kind of day, the kind of day where you were just happy to be alive

There was someone singing a lovely song in her ear.

That was the first thing Jill noticed when she woke up and she stretched, smiling to herself before she even opened her eyes. She knew who it was, she could tell without needing to look and the fact that she knew Rodney so well just reinforced her love for him.

"Good morning," she said happily, opening her eyes. "You sing so well. You should do all the time. Especially to me. Especially to wake me up."

Jill was so gosh darn cute in the mornings, like a small fluffy animal but not the sort you'd go out and shoot with a shotgun. The sort you'd keep round the house and pet, like he was doing now to her forehead.

"Good morning," he said. "I love you," he added. "I love you more than the moon loves the sun and the...trees." It sounded pretty, anyhow, even though he had the unsettling feeling that it didn't make much sense.

Immediately, Jill's smile softened and she sighed happily, feeling cozy and comfortable and loved. Rodney was so... great. He was really great.

"I love you," she said in return, reaching out from under the sheet to take his hand, holding it close to her chest. Right where her heart was beating, only for him. "I love you more than... something really big." It was sort of hard to think when she was so in love.

"That's pretty big," Rodney said, wide-eyed. That was pretty big. He beamed at his lady-love.

"I think...I think we should go up to the Compound and I cook you breakfast," he said. "With lemons," he added, because lemons suddenly sounded like a really good idea. He didn't know why he didn't eat them more often. They were the best vegetable ever.
