Summary: Pete learns about some of his girlfriend's habits.
"So lemme get this straight."
"Let me pause it if you're going to Wisdomrant at me." Kitty was beside him on the couch, her legs across his lap. Pete was tracing random patterns on her legs above her socks, but below the edges of her frayed denim shorts.
"Okay. So, from what I can gather, they found this... Stargate thingie in Egypt, right?"
"Right. In Giza." Kitty passed him the bowl of popcorn along and he took a healthy handful before handing it back.
"Okay, and they bring it to a 'secure' facility, as though that thing even exists, and, despite the fact that the Smithsonian bloody Institute and the British fucking Museum combined would take a millenium to identify a thrice bedamned soup ladel from fifty years ago, let alone an unidentified stone ring from eons past, they get a scientist who just happens to figure out that it is a inter-galactic travel device?"
"...Yes. Dr. Jackson is very smart." She crossed her arms over her chest. Her toes were twitching in what looked like slight irritation.
"Obviously. I mean, we're still trying to figure out what Stonehenge does, for fuck's sake!"
"You are a buttface. Look, they figured it out, okay?"
"Mhmm. And they are protecting Earth from... the Gold?" Pete handed her the bag of chocolate covered pretzels. He was pleased to see her irritation slightly subside.
"The Goa'uld."
"Right. Because they're so scary with their big snake heads." Pete snickered, almost choking on his popcorn.
"Look, I refuse to take crap from someone who watches Captain Scarlet when he thinks I'm asleep." Kitty threw the empty pretzel bag at him, hitting him in the side of the head.
"That is a quality show."
"That is a piece of crap!" Kitty giggled "It's horribly animated, and the budget is so incredibly low that the villains are freaking invisible! Oooh...it's a mysteron!" She dissolved into helpless laughter as his touches turned to tickling.
"I'll avenge you, Captain!" Pete cried, a full-on assault brewing as Kitty attempted to fend him off with a pillow.
"You're about to be defeated by a mysteron, you son of a b-Ahh! Oh, that is it, bub! You are going down!"
