Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate. I just wish I did. I just woke up from some tripped-out nightmare and it's 3am, so I figure 'Why not?' (The challenge is to use the line "They shot him!") Here it is…

Porcupine

(Chapter 2 of the 'Karma Series')

"They shot him!" Colonel Sheppard's tone was incredulous with a touch of concern.

Elizabeth closed her eyes and rubbed her temples – this was going to be a long day. "Come again?" she sighed.

John huffed as he watched Carson's staff 'escorted' the complaining scientist down to the infirmary. "McKay opened his big mouth and managed to insult the chieftain, his daughter, and all three of his sons in one breath. Teyla was about to make nice and appologize for his lack of tact when the little monsters pulled out their little blow guns and shot him!"

"Oh dear," she tried her best not to smile.

"Oh it was funny at first," he grumbled, "watching him hobbling around with darts sticking out his ass like a porcupine. It wasn't until we were half-way to the gate that the halucinations started."

Elizabeth's smile evaporated. "How bad?"

"He tries kissing me again and I'll shoot him."
