Sorry its not very long but I'll work on it :D


Doppelganger

Doctor Rodney McKay sat at his desk munching noisily on an energy bar. He looked up at the screen in front of him, sighed then took another bite. After finishing the energy bar he settled back in his chair and promptly dozed off. About an hour later he was awoken by a loud alarm being emitted from his laptop.

"OH MY GOSH!" McKay yelled, "I've done it. I've actually done it."

McKay snatched up his radio and asked for Dr Weir and John to come immediately to his quarters.

"What is it this time Rodney," John said irritated, he looked around, "and don't you ever clean your room or does mummy do that for you?"

Rodney glared at John then turned to Dr Weir who had followed him through the door, "Dr Weir, I have made a breakthrough on that assignment you gave me."

"You mean you've found them?" Dr Weir asked breathlessly.

"Found who? And why did I not know of this little assignment?" John asked mystified. McKay and Dr Weir ignored him.

"I made a database of all the known inhabitable planets and cross referenced it with planets that the ancients are likely to have found 'acceptable'. The only match I found was this," McKay said turning his laptop around so Dr Weir and John could see the picture of a large jungle planet.

"I'll ready a M.A.L.P to send through the star gate. John ready your team I don't think you want to miss this," Dr Weir commanded as she turned and briskly walked out of the room.

"What the hell is going on here?" John asked as Rodney ushered him out of his room.


1 HOUR LATER

John glanced at the two people standing beside him. These were two of his most trusted friends and colleagues.

"You ready for this," John asked them.

"OMG yes. I wonder if they will have those massive googly eyes on stalks?" the pretty brunette to his left said.

Michelle Rosenberg had been on John's team for less than 6 months but had proven herself time and time again to be trustworthy and a valuable team member. Often putting herself in the line of fire so the others could get away. However off duty she was a quirky, energetic excitable 25 year old with, according to John, a weird sense of humour. She only came up to John nose and had chocolate brown hair that went down to her belly button. To Rodney she was perfect, with a curved figure and a dazzling smile she had won Rodney's heart instantly.

John rolled his eyes and turned to Rodney who for once wasn't in the mood to have another one of their classic fiction versus fact war.

"Yeah, I'm ready for this," he said nervously through the lump in his throat.

"Personally, I would like to find out why the ancients left us to deal with the wraith by ourselves," Teyla said bitterly.

John turned around surprised, "You don't like the Ancients?"

Teyla shrugged and went back to fixing up a buckle on her pack.

"I mean what if we go through and find the ancients and they don't like me?" Rodney muttered in a world of his own, "I mean, all the work I've put into this whole expedition and I find out they don't like me. I think I would cry."

John opened his mouth to reply when suddenly the stargate opened in front of them.

"Alrighty then team, lets meet the makers of our home," John said.

He nodded at Dr Weir then led his team up the steps and trough the star gate.


John walked out of the star gate and mentally cursed. Wooden huts had been burnt to the ground. Piles of rubble and dead animals littered the once beautiful village. John heard a loud sigh from behind him.

"One thing is for sure, I wasn't expecting this," Teyla muttered.

John frowned, "there's no bodies."

"So they could still be alive?" Michelle asked now serious.

John nodded. Suddenly there was a high pitch wailing and a figure came running out from a cluster of large stone blocks. She was covered from head to foot in mud and what looked suspiciously like blood.

"They came and took us, I am the last one left," she moaned as she fell to the ground at their feet.

"who? Who came?" John asked although he had a good idea who, the girls next word confirmed it.

"Wraith."

Her last reserves of energy depleted the girl collapsed in to a heap on the ground.
