Author's note: This is what happens when I get bored of studying for my science exam… Of course, I never did start the studying…


Citrus Circus: The Heartfelt Edition

Chapter One

"Come on Rodney," Sheppard begged.

"I am a very busy man. I don't have time," McKay replied, grabbing a tray and entering the line.

"You said that last week. And the week before that. And the week before that. And the--"

"Did you not just hear what I said about being a 'very busy man'? I'm the head of the science department."

"And I'm the head of the Military department--"

"Right, because that takes so much time and energy. Tell them all to follow you into the ocean without so much as a thong and I can guarantee every one of them will."

"Yes, but only out of morbid curiosity," Sheppard replied, holding his plat out to receive a slab of something that vaguely resembled chicken.

Rodney rolled his eyes and turned to the lady serving the 'chicken'. "That doesn't have lemon in it, does it?"

"Rodney," Sheppard said as the lady gave McKay a funny look and dumped the chicken on his plate without so much as a word.

"What? I am deathly allergic to citrus. You know that."

And thus the plot thickens. Not really, I just like saying that.

(A/N: Okay, so originally that was where chapter one ended, but looking over it, I decided that it was too short, so now chapters one and two have become just chapter one.)

"Come on McKay. I think you can take a break for two hours."

"I'm in the middle of a project. I can't just take a brake to watch some stupid movie."

"But you do have time to take a lunch break. And a mid-afternoon snack, and a late-afternoon snack, and dinner, and an early-evening snack, three middle of the night snacks and at least two breakfasts."

"I--"

But before he could even begin his rant, Sheppard interrupted.

"Shut up McKay. WE all know you have a wide assortment of issues. Now, you are going to join me and the rest of the team for movie night."

"But--"

"No buts. We even convinced Elizabeth to take a break. And if were lucky, Carson won't get called down to the infirmary for an emergency. You. Are. Coming. End of discussion."

"Humph," McKay grunted. "Hmm… Does this taste different to you?" he asked, pointing to the chicken.

"Rodney!"

"What? I'm not complaining. Its just… different."

Sheppard rolls his eyes.

"Meet us in the movie room at 2100."


More coming soon. In the meantime...
