This will be a broader based ficlet collection about the Destiny Crew that was spawned from the original ficlet collection 'Snarky Scientist can Smile'. I recommend reading that fic first so this makes sense. The first chapter is for Samcarter2 who suggested a fic based around TJ reaction to the party. Secondly for Edwina B. Karch who asked where the sequel was!

1. Smiley Faces

It had been a week since the meeting took place, when the command crew decided to move forward and get Destiny working. Changes were apace and people started being proactive.

Elizabeth and Rush found a table to eat. Chloe and lt Scott joined them at the table.

"How are you today?"

Elizabeth was pretending to be disgruntled, "We are eating as Eli refused to leave us alone until we did."

Chloe was amused, "Yes well he is one of several people who seem to be on a permanent high."

Scott observed, "TJ seems to be the happiest one."

Rush and Cooper shared a knowing glance. Chloe noticed the silent communication, "You know something?"

Rush was a little smug, "I'll leave this one to women's intuition."

Elizabeth seeing that she had everyone's rapt attention, "Well once they had their first dance the colonel and lieutenant were should also take into account that, after the colonel used the stones on Wednesday, he stopped wearing his wedding ring.

Rush couldn't stop his snigger at the looks of identical shock on the young couples face. Both Chloe and Matt had their mouths forming perfect o's.

Having finished their meals they excused themselves and both struggled to keep straight faces when Lt Johnson walked past them, especially as she still had the widest smile. Elizabeth was pleased if TJ was happy then hopefully so was the colonel , "Hey think we'll be able to work in peace?"

"We can hope…"

It was ironic neither thought themselves to be optimistic. Still it was the prevailing mood amongst the crew and was becoming infectious.

A/N As before I write off a basic prompt. IF anyone has any suggestions then please let me know!
