The Atlantis Bucket List
* A Stargate Atlantis Fanfic *

Summary:
Knowing that being in Atlantis and the Pegasus Galaxy was dangerous, the expedition member's start creating, adding to, and fulfilling their bucket lists!
A/N- This is just a little idea that popped into my mind while I was adding to my own bucket list… I figured it can't hurt to try it out and see what people thought,
I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: Other then the story idea, and unless I throw in any OC's it's not mine…
Chapter One
#1- B.A.S.E. Jumping off the Control Tower
John remembered when he was a kid; he always wanted to go B.A.S.E. jumping. Now he finally had the chance to. He and a few others who wanted to fulfill this before they "kicked the bucket" decided to jump off the top of the tower.
It had seemed like fun but after Jennifer and Carson had to treat 12 broken bones, 3 sprains, a variety of concussions, and more bruises and cuts than could be counted, everyone wondered why it sounded so cool at the time, especially after Elizabeth found out.
As John lay in the infirmary with a massive concussion, he mused on how awesome it would be to do it again.
#2- Put hyper-space drive on Jumper 3
Rodney and Radek were the cause of this one. Together they created and inserted the hyper-space drive onto McKay's favorite Jumper, number 3! Of course, they never really directly asked for permission…
"Yeah, we're just doing some refurbishments to Jumper 3."
John, who was in on it too, "That would be so cool!" wanted to fly the maiden voyage. He took it out on the first flight and attempted to open the hyper-space window.
When he tried this, said drive exploded. When Elizabeth found out about their refurbishments, McKay and Radek wanted to go into hiding.
#3- Switch Dr. McKay's Coffee with Decaf
One of Rodney's new subordinates, Dr. White, thought it would be funny to see what would happen if McKay's coffee would be 'accidentally' switched with Decaf. To satisfy his curiosity, he switched the coffee beans and observed him.
His caffeine withdrawal came on faster then White imagined. White had hoped it would be a funny spectacle to see. It was a spectacle, but defiantly not funny! After Carson treated 2 scientists for panic attacks, various bruises, and cuts, he was forced to intervene to save them form more blood shed.
Everyone knew John, Carson, and McKay had a tight friendship bond. White sure found that out…
#4- "Borrow" Ronon's gun and stun Kavanagh
Of all people, Lorne was the one who tried this. After Kavanagh annoyed him one to many times, he "borrowed" Ronon's gun. After stunning the scientist everyone was happier. That is, except for Lorne and Ronon.
After Ronon found out that his gun went missing, he went on warpath. When he found out that Lorne had it… Let's just say Evan really wasn't looking forward to those extra training lessons with him.
#5- Water Skiing behind a Puddle Jumper
Who knew Carson had a wild side! He had water skiing on her bucket list for a long time and now she could fulfill it. John agreed to pilot the puddle jumper and Carson plus a few others would water ski behind it.
It worked really well until they traveled into the less-explored waters of the planet. No-one knew but those waters were inhabited by sting-ray type creatures with really big teeth. When Jennifer was treating the multiple bite wounds, she found out Carson was the instigator of it…
Carson quickly bribed McKay and Radek for their hiding spot location and disappeared for a few days…
#6- Parachuting from a Puddle Jumper
Carson strikes again! But this time, he teamed up with Jennifer. After Carson kept boasting on how great the rush was form water skiing behind the puddle jumper, Jennifer decided to get in on the fun too. Since John was off-world, they asked Lorne to pilot it for them.
This time, it was only the two of them so they planned on landing on the east pier. Although both doctors landed safely, several people fainted on the spot.
When John and Elizabeth returned, neither of them were happy. Elizabeth was only angry because they hadn't had authorization and they could have been seriously hurt. John, on the other hand, was angry because they used his favorite jumper and they hadn't invited him to join them.
#7- Lock Kavanagh in a room with Ronon for 24 hours
Everyone loved this one. John even sold tickets for it. When Ronon was forced to go off-world with a few scientists they we're forced to be quarantined. Someone thought it would be funny to place Kavanagh and Ronon together in isolation.
Not even 5 minutes later, Ronon got fed up with his complaining and took action. John and McKay, who were watching from observation, started selling tickets to watch.
Soon the bickering turned into a fist fight. Kavanagh was surprisingly strong but was no match against the ex-runner. In the end, Ronon was unscratched while Kavanagh wasn't so lucky. He realized never to mess with the Satedan ever again. As soon as Ronon was let out of isolation, he went on war-path to find whoever decided to place him with the scientist.
#8- Become a Pirate
Laura was the instigator of this very odd bucket list item. She and a whole bunch of people decided to hold the first "Atlantis Pirate Convention". Ronon loved it, especially the sword fights. He won the competition but after the medical department had a swarm of patients, Elizabeth quickly banned all pirate activates.
John was still doing flyovers with Rodney over the waters trying to find everyone who was forced to "walk the plank".
#9- Atlantis Wide Science Fair
The scientists joined together and requisitioned to have an Atlantis-Wide Science fair. Elizabeth authorized it and the planning began. On the day of, there were several displays on volcanoes, lasers, and more!
John teamed up with Lorne and built an impressive volcanoes display and model while Rodney and Radek built a set of impressive looking laser guns.
When McKay and Zelenka tested their lasers out, they were supposed to trigger off the mirrors and into a piece of steel. Someone accidentally bumped one of the mirrors when the laser turned on. It bounced off of the mirror, hit the window, and bounced over to the volcano. Of course, it caused quite a show when it did what all volcanoes do, explode.
The mess hall still had brown-y grey foam on the roof.
#10- Laser Tag-Atlantis Style!
Following the Laser Gun incident at the science fair, a lot of people added this to their bucket lists. They got the science department to make toned-down versions of the guns so they could hold a "Laser Tag-Atlantis Style" game.
After multiple requests, demands, and strikes, Elizabeth finally gave in and allowed it.
Two days later the first laser tag game was held. It was supposed to be every man/woman for themselves but it quickly turned into gate-team versus gate-team. In the end SGA-1 and SGA-2 were the only two teams not eliminated.
It was now a fight to the death. Elizabeth finally called it a truce after medical teams were needed. SGA-1 had gotten in more hits, but SGA-2 refused to stop. After both teams were admitted to the infirmary with a multitude of burns, Elizabeth quickly banned it too.
A/N- I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! I'm probably going to write another few chapters but I'm not sure how much ideas I can come up with… =D
If you have any ideas or things you'd like to see, let me know =)
