Ok I know it's kinda past Thanksgiving, but I wanted to finish this so ignore the holiday aspect of it and it's just a humor fic. Anyway this fic has been tweaked a little and revisited so the first two chapters have been reposted with the revisions. Yep sorry this took so long for me to come back to!
Chapter One: Elizabeth gets an idea!
Dr. Elizabeth Weir sighed as she straightened the papers on her desk and looked around at her office. It was her office. She smiled at that thought because for a while she had doubted that she would ever get to sit in her chair at this desk as the leader of the Atlantis expedition. Everything just felt right with this job, anything less made her feel incomplete as if a part of her had died. It was as John said before they left it was all down hill for her now. She had spent all her time on Earth cooped up in her apartment as a lost soul eating take out and watching TV. But it had all changed now that she was back. As she had unpacked that last box and straightened those few papers on her desk she could breathe a sign of relief that things would finally be getting back to normal, or at least as normal as they ever got in Atlantis.
She glanced down at her planner and looked at the date. It was November 18, only a few days until Thanksgiving. That made her think, wow we all really have so much to be thankful for. Mainly getting rid of those pesky Replicators had been the biggest feat to overcome, but thanks to her best team and Carson they had won. It had been touch and go for a while, and they had gone through so many 'plans' that it made her smile to think that it was probably a good thing that she didn't go off world on too many missions because it certainly wasn't easy. Then there was the issue of the SGC allowing them all to come back. Yeah, it was amazing how much trouble they could have gotten in, that they should have gotten in, but didn't. Good ol' General O'Neill was definitely a large player in the damage control that their little stunt created. Of course just about everyone from the expedition had been immediately on board when they got the call saying they could go back to Atlantis. Yes this was their home, her home and she felt that they needed to celebrate this lovely fact.
An idea came to her as she thought back to the numerous hours of TV she had watched while back on earth. Hmm, yeah she thought… this could get interesting! However, she would have to ok it with the SGC and see if they wouldn't mind helping out a tiny bit.
