Alert

This is an AU (Alternate Universe) story. Elizabeth Weir survived the episode 'Lifeline' (Season three, episode two. She will stay alive, due to controlling the Replicator code system, for another 10 years. And Teyla is never going to have her baby with Kanaan or whoever she had her baby with – She has it with Sheppard! And much sooner! Sheppard and Teyla are married and Rodney is planning to marry Jennifer...

Also, McKeller and Teyppard. :)

Christmas. A great time for everyone. Strangely enough, Lantea seemed to have exactly the same position in the solar system as Earth. As a result, it had twelve months in the year and four seasons. In short, it had Christmas on the 25th of December, just like Earth.

And another plus was that it was snowing! Rodney stood on the balcony on the control tower, wearing several layers of Buffalo fur, which was being hunted on the mainland by the Athosians, plus 2 snow-coats. There was 1 difference between the snowing on Earth and the snowing on Lantea: It was a hell-load colder on Lantea!

"Hey, buddy!" Sheppard and Teyla were walking up behind him. They leant on the rail as he was, wearing snow-coats, and most likely, several layers of Buffalo fur underneath them. "Man, it's cold!"

"Yes, very." Teyla turned to the child in her arms "Isn't your daddy right?" She rhetorically asked their child, softly. The wrapped-up-beyond-belief baby gurgled in response.

"Right. Rodney. The SGA teams are going to have a massive snowball-fight – well it's more of a Christmas party. We're going to have beer, orange juice, apple juice, cherry juice, hot food and most importantly: a snowy plain on which to have the snowball-fight. Teyla tells me the snow there goes up to your knees." Sheppard said.

"It is true. I have visited it recently, it is what my people call a 'healed crater'. They believe it's a crater but nature healed it to be just a lower plain. It's low enough for the snow to fill up to your knees and it's a very wide crater."

"Yeah. We've invited the rest of SGA-1 and now we're inviting you. So, wanna come?."

Rodney paused for a bit. "They got Buffalo burgers?"

"3 truckloads of it." Sheppard said, raising 3 fingers.

"Then I'm definitely in. When does the party start?" Rodney smiled.

"It's starting in an hour. We have enough time to get over there and set up a couple things before the party. That's why you've been seeing so many Jumpers go out over to the mainland."

"I did think it was a bit strange."

"Yeah, well now you know why."

"OK. When do we leave?"
"Now."

"OK. Let's go."

Keller glanced at the picture of her treating Rodney's broken leg three weeks ago in the snow. It was really quite an embarrassing story. They were skiing on the Countoin mountain over on the mainland on one of the few Sundays off on Atlantis. He slipped and went tumbling down and bashed both his head on a large rock structure and broke his leg. Jennifer was surprised that he didn't break his neck by the way he fell. He was in bed for 2 weeks. They had known each other for a while and they both loved each other. It was surprising that he hadn't tried to propose. She would go straight in on saying yes...

Author's note

Now to the party! When you read the next chapter you must have: Beer/juice/other, a burger, a cottage pie, a friend (or more), a hell-load of snow. All optional, of course. :). this is 1.10. :D :D :D.
