SGAFan: Thank you for your review. It probably is, but I haven't had much experience working with OC's and this story idea sounded humorous to me so I gave it a shot. I'm sorry you think it's dumb.
tDanielle: Again, thank you for your review. I'm really glad you took the time to read and reply to my story. If you have any ideas, just tell me and I'll see what I can do :)
Days went by slowly on the Daedalus, and Matt soon became incredibly bored. She had run out of paper to scribble her calculations on and ways to annoy McKay, and she didn't particularly enjoy talking with Hermiod, therefore finding herself almost constantly in Radek's company. The two had become fairly close friends for having only known each other for two or three weeks, and not to mention that there was more than a twenty year gap in their ages.
Nonetheless, the two entertained each other by telling strange or completely made up stories – though Radek could hardly tell when Matt was joking and when she was serious – to pass the time.
"There is no such thing as ghost," he shook his head disbelievingly at Matt's story.
"Alright, you got me. Your turn," she laughed, while taking another bite of her sandwich. Just then someone sat down next to Radek, startling them both as he dropped his tray noisily on the table.
"We should be dropping out of hyperspace soon," McKay informed them gruffly, almost immediately biting into his sandwich.
"Thank you," Matt responded, offering him a polite nod. He simply mumbled something under his breath before attacking the sandwich again.
When she stood up, Matt accidentally knocked her right hip against the metal table, demanding a groan from her. Earlier that day, she had acquired a bruise the size of a golf ball from when she tripped while walking up some steps.
Two days ago, she fell backwards out of her chair while trying to stand up.
A day before that, she accidentally ran into a wall, which she repeatedly claims that she didn't see.
Thus earning her the title 'Klutz Queen' from McKay.
"Are you alright?" asked Radek, watching her with a concerned look.
"Klutz Queen strikes again," McKay muttered under his breath.
"That's Miss Carter, Klutz Queen Extraordinaire," she joked, rubbing in his face how she had been adopted by Colonel Carter, which she found somehow annoyed him to no end. Along with the fact that she had been given the unofficial title 'Doctor', of course.
Which made her shudder at the thought of doctors, and their torture devices.
Is there a word for the fear of doctors?
I'll have to look that one up.
"Dropping out of hyperspace," announced a voice over the intercom.
Oh, boy, was this going to be fun.
Sorry this one's so short! I thought that would be a good place to stop for now. Here's some questions for you to discuss amongst yourselves:
How will Matt – now Dr. Matthew Carter – react when she finds that she is required to get a check-up from Dr. Beckett?
How will people in Atlantis take to the newest – and youngest – part of their team?
Why is Matt so afraid of doctors?
Actually, for that last one, I'm open to suggestions.
Ja ne!
