Wow! I had the craziest dream last night. I was thinking about the next chapter, and I decided to make this story into an every day life at Atlantis. With everyone.

Plot: Anything and everything is possible in this story. Could be slightly AU at times? Don't know.

Pairings: Rodney/Jennifer, Ronon/Teyla, John/Whoever happens to be there. He'll hit on everyone. Haha.

Summary: Changed the Summary. This is a story about pretty much everyone at Atlantis. Their relationships, and random days. Rodney/Jennifer, Teyla/Ronon, John/Everyone. LOL! Rated for later chapters, maybe? Mostly language. LOL

This chapter is mainly Sheppard. Some Rodney/Jennifer moments.


The sunlight shone into John Sheppard's room, making him squint as he woke up. He'd had a long night. He had talked to Teyla for hours. He liked Teyla. A lot. He always liked hanging out with her and talking about random things.

He stretched and yawned, sitting up and putting his legs over the side of his bed. His hair was a mess and he looked like he'd just fallen a thousand feet out of a puddle jumper and landed in a bush. He ran his hands through his hair and groaned. He wondered if they'd be going off-world today. He hoped. He needed to get out a little more. Lately there were no attacks on anyone and they didn't have anywhere to go.

As he sat on his bed and looked around the room he thought about going for a morning jog around Atlantis. That'd wake him up pretty well. He got up and walked over to his dresser, getting one of his black hoodies out and a pair of sweat-pants. After he put them on, he picked up his iPod and looked through the songs on it. He noticed something that had been sitting under his iPod, a piece of paper. John picked it up and read it.

John,

Check your computer.
I added a song I know you'd like.
By the way, I need you to stop by the
infirmary later.
Hope you enjoy the song,

Carson Beckett.

"Carson?" John mumbled, looking at his laptop now. He shrugged, sat in his chair and opened the laptop. When he turned it on and logged in he saw an mp3 file on his desktop. He clicked play and the song started. John's grin grew wide as he listened to it. "Beckett knows what I like!"

He plugged in his iPod and put the song on it. As it loaded onto the iPod, John couldn't help but laugh. The song he listened to was very addicting, and very him. He enjoyed it, and he knew he could annoy Rodney with it, which was a plus!

The song finished loading onto the iPod and John unplugged it, got his headphones, and turned the song on. He grinned again, then walked to his door and waved his hand over the sensor so the door would open. As he walked out into the hall, he hummed the tune, since he hadn't memorized the words just yet.

As he ran down the halls he got most of the words from the song into his brain. He started singing it as he ran, a grin on his face.

"Shut up and sleep with me. Come on why don't you sleep with me? Come on, uh huh and sleep with me." he sang, dancing along as he ran. Which was rather weird. He passed Ronon, who was speaking with Teyla. Ronon looked at John as though he had gone crazy. Teyla just laughed and shook her head.

John headed towards the infirmary. One thing he wanted to do was thank Carson for the amazing song. When he reached the doors, he walked in and smiled as he saw Carson. Carson grinned back and shook his head.

"I could hear you from a mile away." Carson said in his Scottish accent, setting some needles down on a small tray. "You're enjoying the song?"

"Of course I am!" John said, sitting down on a chair. "How did you know I liked this kind of thing?"

"It's pretty obvious," Carson said, nodding towards John. "Captain Kirk."

John laughed and shook his head. That joke again. He wasn't Captain Kirk! Although, he did get the girls...

"What are you planning on doing today?" Carson asked, finishing what he was doing, then turning to face John. "You look like you're going to be pretty comfortable all day."

"Well right now I'm going jogging." John said, a smile on his lips. "And after that I'm going to go see Rodney, maybe annoy him a little bit." He shrugged and looked at Carson. "And you?"

"I'm going to find a date for Valentine's day," Carson said proudly, smiling to himself.

"Oh crap, that's in two days isn't it?" John said, looking at a calendar on the wall. "I haven't got a date yet. Who've you got in mind?"

"I'm going to ask Amelia Banks out," Carson said, drifting off into his own little world. "She's so gorgeous."

"The technician?" John said, raising his eyebrows. "Wow. The Doctor and The Technician. Nice."

"You think?" Carson asked, grinning to himself. "I think she likes me."

"I'm sure she does, Buddy," John said, getting up from his chair and patting Carson on the back. "Good luck."

"Thanks Colonel." Carson said as John walked out of the room.

Once John got out and into the hall he rolled his eyes. Valentine's day! He thought to himself, feeling like an idiot. Who should I ask? Just as he thought that, Teyla walked by.

"Hey, Teyla!" John said, smiling. "Where's Torren?"

"He is with Ronon taking a walk," Teyla said, motioning her hand to another hallway. "Torren quite enjoys Ronon's company."

"That's nice," John said, nodding. "So Teyla, I was wondering. There's this thing called Valentine's day on Earth and we usually have like, a date with a girl on that day and –"

"I am sorry, John." Teyla said, bowing her head. "I know what Valentine's day is, and Ronon's already asked me."

"Oh," John said, feeling stupid that he hadn't got there first. "And you said..?"

"I said yes, of course," Teyla said, raising her eyebrows and smiling. "Ronon is very nice, and I too enjoy his company."

"Teyla, can I see you in the gate room, please?" Samantha Carter's voice said through one of the coms.

"On my way," Teyla said, then looked back at John. "Try asking Samantha. I hear she is free for Valentine's day."

"She's only free on Valentine's day because she's the boss! I can't date the boss!" John pouted as Teyla walked away laughing. "Oh fine. I'll just keep looking."

Teyla waved and turned down a hallway and out of sight. John sighed. Who could he ask? He didn't really know any of the other girls on Atlantis besides Doctor Keller and Samantha. And Teyla was already taken. He had to think for a minute, then decided that he'd try and ask Keller. She was hot and nice.

John noticed his song had stopped, so he put it on play again, then walked down the halls to find Doctor Keller. John looked down for a moment, but kept on walking. He crashed into someone and got shoved backwards, squinting slightly. The sun was bright and he had to adjust his eyes to see who he had crashed into.

"Would you watch where you're going?" It was Rodney and he sounded annoyed. "Now you're the one crashing into people."

"Well, sorry, your majesty," John said in his sarcastic tone, raising his eyebrows. "Aren't you supposed to be working with Zelenka?"

"As a matter of fact, I am," Rodney admitted. "But I'm busy."

John looked around to see what Rodney was doing, but it was nothing. Rodney was looking at a wall. John raised an eyebrow and looked back at Rodney, his head tilted to the side.

"What exactly are you busy with?" John asked, smiling. "It looks like you're staring at a wall."

"I'm waiting for Jennifer." Rodney said, leaning against the wall behind him. "She said she'd meet me here."

John's eyes widened. Rodney couldn't get to Jennifer first, he just couldn't. If he did, John would be stuck with the boss.

"I was actually looking for Doctor Keller," John said. He needed to make something up fast. "I hurt my leg really bad when I went to see Carson."

"She said she was getting breakfast before she came here," Rodney said, nodding impatiently. "She's in the Cafeteria."

"Mess Hall, Rodney," John corrected. "You sound like Mr. Woolsey."

"I do not!" Rodney shouted as John walked down the hall. "Hey! Wait a minute! You didn't hurt your leg!"

Crap, forgot to limp! John thought. He had the choice to run, or to fake limping. He chose to run.

"Oh, come on!" Rodney shouted, running after John. "That's not fair. Just because you can't get a date for Valentine's day!"

John stopped running and turned to face Rodney. "How did you know about that?"

Rodney's eyes shifted, then he coughed slightly. "I heard you and Teyla talking."

"You were spying on me?" John asked, frowning.

"No, no, no! Not spying," Rodney said, putting his finger up. "Walking by, happened to hear the conversation."

John and Rodney looked at each other, then down the hall that led to the Mess Hall, then back at each other again. Rodney took off at a quick pace towards the room, but John was right behind him. They shoved at each other as they ran, Rodney huffing stuff about getting there first. John reached the room first. He saw Keller and ran over to her.

"Hey, Jennifer," He said, sitting beside her. "Say, would you like to—"

"Don't listen to him, Jennifer!" Rodney said, running over and putting his hands on his knees, catching his breath. "Sheppard, shut up."

"What's going on?" Jennifer asked, looking at the two of them. "You two look like you just had a fight or something."

"A race," John corrected, smiling his charming smile. "I wanted to ask you something."

"Okay..." Jennifer was hesitant on what was going on. "Ask."

Rodney shot a pleading glance towards John, and John sighed. "Actually, Rodney wanted to ask you something."

John got up from the chair and walked by Rodney, mumbling. "That's the only time I'm ever giving up a date with Jennifer for you."

Rodney glared. Giving up a date with Jennifer. He said in his head. He thought John was just being stupid to annoy him.

"Jennifer," Rodney said, sitting beside Jennifer and taking her hand in his. "Would you like to spend Valentine's day with me?"

Jennifer's face turned a shade of pink and she bit her lip. "I'd love to, Rodney."

Rodney smiled and looked over at John, sticking his tongue out and mouthing the words 'Ha! There's no one else to ask!' John glared and walked out of the Mess Hall, making a face to mock Rodney.

John wondered if someone had asked Samantha already. She was good-looking, nice, sweet. He had a feeling that Major Lorne got the guts to ask her out. He walked down another hall and then went into Samantha's boss quarters. She was speaking with Teyla about something when she noticed John standing in the doorway.

"And that's all I need you to do," she said, turning back to Teyla. "You can go."

"Thank you, Colonel Carter," Teyla said, nodding her head and walking to the door. She looked right at John and smiled, raising her eyebrows. John smiled and nodded as she left the room.

"Can I help you, Colonel Sheppard?" Samantha asked as she walked around her desk. "Not expecting to go off-world today?" She added, looking at his hoodie and sweat pants.

"Um," John kind of fumbled with his words, trying to think of what to say. "Yeah. Just felt like this would be a relaxing sort of day. Not many problems. You know?"

"Yeah," Samantha nodded, smiling. "We haven't gotten many distress signals from any other planets. We only had two this morning. I think the planets were P3X-8873 and P3X-9913. We found out that both planets had a flooding problem."

"Which teams were sent?" John asked, making more conversation. "I don't think I saw Lorne today... so.. his team?"

"Yeah. Lorne and his team." Samantha said, nodding. "They left a few hours ago. Lorne was acting weird. He looked like... well he looked like you do right now. He looked nervous about something. I think he just wanted to ask me out. Even though I would have turned him down."

"Why would you have turned him down?" John asked, raising his eyebrows. "He's a nice guy."

"Because I decided I'd wait for someone I liked better to ask me out," Sam said, grinning. "After Lorne left, McKay came by, but he didn't come by to ask me out."

"Rodney?" John asked, taken aback slightly. "What did he want?"

"He came by to tell me that he wasn't going to ask me out this year. He sounded very pleased with himself." Samantha said.

"Oh," John said, laughing. "What an idiot. He probably made you sad."

"No, actually," Samantha said, tilting her head to the side. "It made me laugh. I wouldn't have gone out with McKay."

"Wow." John said, raising his eyebrows and laughing slightly. "So how many people have actually gotten the guts to ask you out today?"

"Lorne, as I said. Um..." She had to think for a moment, then she nodded. "And last night Zelenka came by and asked me. But he was really tired, so I don't think he meant it."

"So would you say no if I asked?" John said, shrugging. "Just a thought."

"I'd go on a date with you," Samantha said, nodding. "For one day, though. I was expecting General O'neill to stop by and ask me. But he's so busy."

"Say," John said, thinking. "Did you and General O'neill have... you know... a thing?"

"No," Samantha said, shaking her head and smiling. "Sorry I was just thinking out loud."

"Okay," John said, laughing quietly. "So you'll go on a date with me on Valentine's day?"

"Sure," Samantha said. "Pick me up here at 6 P.M on Sunday."

"Awesome," John said, nodding to himself and smiling. "I'll see you then."

John turned to leave, and Samantha said "Just curious...uhm..."

"Yeah?" John said, looking back.

"Who's Rodney taking on a date?" She asking, her eyebrows raised. "To be honest... who would want to go out with him?"

"Jennifer Keller," John said, grinning. "I know, it's weird! I didn't think Rodney would get such a hot date. Too bad he didn't get the hotter one."

"So he's going out with a woman? Really?" Samantha said, laughing. "I thought it would be the computer. Oh, by the way, was that a compliment?"

John just smiled and nodded, then walked to the door. "I'll see you Sunday evening."

With that he walked out of the room and pumped his fist in the air in triumph. He got a date. And it was with the boss! He really had the guts for that one. As he walked he passed by the infirmary he heard Rodney whining about something. John walked in and Rodney was sitting on the edge of one of the hospital beds, talking to Carson.

"Colonel, please talk to Rodney for me," Carson said desperately, waving his arms in the air. "He won't listen to me!"

"Only because you won't give me a straight answer!" Rodney protested in his defense. "Sheppard, can you answer a simple question for me?"

"Sure," John said, shrugging.

"Is mental illness contagious?" Rodney asked, raising his eyebrows at John, then looking at Carson. John rolled his eyes and shook his head. Rodney must be the one with the mental illness, he thought, laughing silently.

"Rodney," John said, thumping him on the back. "You make me wonder how you attract women."

"That's an insult!" Rodney said, looking at Carson. "Isn't it? That was an insult!"

John just laughed and walked out of the room, Rodney now complaining about people and their pitiful insults. John's work was finished. He got a date and made Rodney annoyed. Now he was headed back to his quarters. He decided he'd try and figure out what he should get for Samantha for Valentine's day. Tomorrow he planned to go off-world with Rodney and Ronon to go gift shopping at a planet they'd recently visited. He went into his quarters, turned his iPod back on, and started to think about gifts women like Samantha would like.

Long chapter! I actually spent time in the car today writing this. LOL! Hope you liked this chapter. I love making Rodney be annoyed in some chapters. It's just hilarious to think of things he would get annoyed about.
