Author's Notes: Written for the Nov 5th stargatedrabbles list challenge to write a missing scene for the episode "Duet".


I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that there is currently a woman in Rodney's head. I'm not entirely sure who I feel more sorry for right now, Rodney or Cadman. I would certainly never want a woman in my head. On the other hand, poor Cadman is stuck in, of all men, Rodney's head.

Check that, I'm definitely more sympathetic to the lieutenant. No one should have to deal with that. Not that Rodney is a bad guy, it's just . . . this is Rodney we're talking about here.

If it wasn't for the very real fact that both they're lives are in danger right now, I'd be laughing my ass off. Instead, I'm standing here feeling utterly useless as Radek tries to undue this mess. There is nothing I can do but wait. I hate waiting. I'm not good at it.

One thing is for sure; when this is all over . . . I am going to have so much fun ribbing him over this little escapade.

Rodney steps in front of the Wraith beaming device Radek rigged up. Just as Radek is about to fire it up, he holds up his finger and - what is up with that pose? - steps back out and approaches Beckett.

Wow! I sure as hell hope that was Cadman in control just then.

Oh yeah, definitely going to rib the hell out of him about this whole thing.

Starting with that lip lock he . . . she . . . they . . . whatever locked on Beckett!
