A/N I know the idea of a replicator is a little star trekish but please go with it for the sake of the fic.
I fixed this and the last chapter so they are not in bold or so i hope!
No: 3 Mood and Colours
The Brit's have a strong tradition of pranking people on April fools day and Rush and Elizabeth thought it would be a travesty if the event were not marked in someway.
When Liz had dragged him to her quarters, he could tell she had something planned. Of course, this set off warning bells in his own mind. Rush knew that when Lizzie usually had that glint in her eye something was about to explode. He was fairly sure that nothing would be detonating but you could never be too sure.
Lizzie pouted as she explained her plan. It seemed her first instinct was towards an explosion but she knew that that would not be allowed. Her second thought ran to a more childish prank but one that could be very amusing.
"You actually managed to figure out how the replicators create the shampoo?"
She nodded, "Well it wasn't so hard once I analysed some."
Rush was actually shaking his head, "So you actually figured how to change the chemical composition."
He was fixed with a glare that asked him if he was seriously asking that question. He smiled and hook his head ruefully, "Right daft question."
She smiled impishly, "I'll forgive you now the question is what colour will you tolerate your hair being black or red?"
Rush could see where she was taking this, "It will be a shame for your locks beautiful locks but I think we should be black like our moods so often are."
Elizabeth nodded, "So the marines shall have pink hair, the scientists green and the civillians blue with the scientist having a luminous red."
Rush liked the idea, she was clever also in pranking themselves then it wasn't so obvious who was behind the act.
If he had to confess though the idea of seeing Col Young with pink hair meant his face lit with a brilliant smile. He hugged lizzie and kissed her soundly, "We must make sure Eli directs a kino in their direction."
She broke the kiss, "Of course. Now we have a few hours before we need to act."
Never let it be said that they couldn't make an efficient use of their time.
