A dog's tale: A Man's Best Friend.
Pairings:Former Evan/Lucinda
Spoliers: season 7 of SG1 and season 1 of Atlantis.
Status: collection of short stories
Characters: Linda(Glory), Major Evan Lorne, General Jack O'Neill, Captain Samantha Carter, Colonel Martin Edwards,
Author's Note: I redid the name that Evan will give Linda, so instead of Queenie it's Glory. It's just easier to say it that way when you're in danger or something.
Evan Lorne sat on his desk, looking at the red German Shepard sitting in front of him.
"How about Roxanne?" He asked, as the dog whined and put her paws over her nose, telling him it was a horrible idea.
"Okay, what about Athena?" Asked, Evan, continuing with names. "Diamond? Atlanta? Buffy? Cleopatra? Diva, Duchess, Foo Foo or Fifi?"
Hearing those two names, Linda sat straight up and started to howl, trying to drown out the sounds. She was not going to be saddled with a name that a Chihuahua would have. She was almost forty-nine pounds heavier than those yacking play things.
"Okay! I get it." Evan tried to calm her down, taking into account that she didn't want to be named Foo Foo or Fifi for that matter. "What about Glory?"
Linda rolled her eyes and stopped howling, sitting as regal as it was possible while being a dog, tucking her tail around her paws. Evan smiled, hopped of the table, and patted her head once, while trying out her new name.
SGA
Several weeks had gone by and Glory and Evan got used to each other's ways. Their routine started to look like this with only minor changes from the day to day. Glory would wake up before the sun would poor through the blind, waking Evan up by pouncing on his stomach. They usually went for their morning run before breakfast, which would consist of going through the park, down to the cafe several miles from Evan's apartment. Evan would usually stop at the cafe and visit with the regulars there while Glory got a bowl of water. After that they would head home again and get ready for work at Cheyenne. Glory would usually go with Evan. On the day after Lorne had brought her home, he had tried to leave her at home, but Glory ended up waiting at the gate for him to arrive. After that, Evan had taken the dog with her, every day.
The many people that Evan worked with soon got used to the sight of the red animal beside the Major and even accepted her. On off-world missions, Colonel Edwards had soon gotten used to the fact that their scout was a four legged animal. Not to mention, Glory had been able to sniff the gou'ald on the base, alerting everyone and earning their gratitude, not that Glory had ever gotten used to Teal'c's smell. It reminded her of danger, but she like Teal'c. He didn't call her cute or talked to her like a baby, cuddling her. No Teal'c treated her as a fellow warrior, he respected her for the things that she did, not the fact that she had four legs, a tail, and a was only fifty-nine pounds.
A/N: So I got a question asking if I was really finished with this story or it was going to expand. I really didn't plan on writing more than one chapter but Linda was begging me to expand on her story, and I'm a sucker for puppy dog eyes, especially if they're on a dog. The chapters are short but I hope they are fun. This is one of first stories I have ever written involving an animal of any sorts as the main character. Hope you like and Review please!
