Mistletoe Mission

A/N- I decided to get into the Christmas spirits in November, so I began writing this at school. Since I've got Religion, Math, Science, and Music, it's a really easy term. I always finish my work early and my teachers don't care because I always keep my marks up (Music 90%, Math 93%, Religion 96% in religion, and 98% in science). And so, here is the first chapter! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything other then the idea. I can wish though :)

Part 1 of 3


1:49pm

Looking over her steaming mug of coffee, Jennifer Keller sighed, "You know I miss most about Christmas?"

Her companion, Amelia Banks, turned away from the movie, "What is it? Personally I miss the snow."

It was late afternoon, mid December on the Earth calendar, and both girls had taken advantage of their free time to watch a movie and catch up with each other.

"I miss the snow too, but what I really miss is the decorations. All the tinsel, the garlands, the tree, the mistletoe…"

"Oh, the mistletoe?" Amelia grinned, "Wishing to catch a certain someone under it?"

Jennifer blushed and Amelia knew her answer, "Thought so. I've heard the rumors about you and McKay."

"What!"

"Yup, that you like him and he likes you, except he won't come out with it."

"What are you talking about? I don't know what you mean."

"Oh come on Jen, it's obvious. Besides, I think you two would make a cute couple. Honestly, I don't see why you just won't ask him out, but I suppose it's an old fashion thing." Amelia paused, an idea forming in her mind, "I wonder if the botany labs have anything like mistletoe, you know, to keep the tradition." She said with a wink.

"I'm sure you'd just love to snag Ronon under there too." Jennifer smiled.

Amelia nodded, " Of course, but then again, I get a kiss almost every night when he walks me to my quarters after our sparing session."

"You guys are dating?"

"Going on 3 weeks now. We've managed to keep it low-key so far."

Jennifer shook her head, "Wow, Amy… the gossip queen keeping it low-key!"

Amelia chuckled and Jennifer continued, "I'll go check in the labs then…" She trailed off as her watch beeped, "I've got to go, my shift starts in 5."

Checking her watch, Amelia offered to go instead, "I've still got 15 minutes so I'll go check for you so you can catch your man."

As Jennifer headed to the infirmary, Amy headed to the labs.

Botany Dept.
2:12pm

Entering the labs, Amelia spotted David Parrish hunched over one of the stations, studying something that looked suspiciously like a poinsettia.

"Hey David!"

He jumped, obviously startled, "Amy!"

She laughed, "Sorry, I didn't realize you were so busy."

"No problem. Don't worry about it. I was just looking at the plant SGA-7 brought back. Said it looked like a poinsettia."

Poking it gently with the end of his pencil, the plant withered, turning a brilliant blue before another leaf took it's place, returning to it's normal color.

"It's quite interesting actually. Harmless yet very strange…"

"I was wondering if you had anything like mistletoe that I can use." Amy asked, cutting in.

David's eyebrows shot up, "For you?"

Amy shook her head, "No, for Keller and McKay.:

David grinned, "Well, it's about time those two got together. I do happen to have something that resembles the 'toe. It was brought back from MK3-694… Actually now that I think about it, a lot of the teams have been bringing back Christmassy plants."

Walking to a lab bench, David plucked a few branches off the bush sitting in a pot. Tying it up quickly he handed it to her. Surprisingly it looked exactly like the mistletoe.

Thanking him, she headed to her quarters, dropping the 'toe off before she headed to the control room for her shift. Sitting at her post, she grabbed her laptop and sent off a quick message before logging off again, smiling.

Returning the patient file to the stack, Jennifer sighed. Hearing her email notifier ding, she headed to her desk, opening up the new email:
