Ronon & Teyla

Tribbles are just for the crazy human's right?

Ronon and Teyla were sitting in the mess hall finishing lunch. They were watching the humans gathered around the adopt the Tribble boxes. One box of male Tribbles and one box of female Tribbles.

Ronon said, "Just what is it that these humans see in the little fur balls?"

"They tell me it is because they are cute and make great pets." answered Teyla.

"Everyone has had a pet when they were a kid, but you grow out of it." said Ronon. "I did."

"So you do admit to having a pet," teased Teyla as they both walked over to the boxes.

"Yes," says Ronon. "Like I said, when I was a kid."

"I also had a pet as a child," said Teyla. "I miss having one sometimes."

They came up to the boxes and looked inside. The Tribbles were a rainbow of colors.

She heard Ronon say, "Look at that big one there."

Teyla looked confused because they all looked the same size in the box she was looking in asked, "Which one?"

"Not that box," said Ronon. "This box of the male Tribbles."

In the box he pointed to there was a dark brown Tribble which was a little bigger than the others. Not only that, but it had really coarse hair, almost like dreadlocks.

"Come here big fellow." stated Ronon to the Tribble.

The dark brown Tribble boldly came up to Ronon's out stretched hand and crawled onto it.

"Brave dude," remarked Ronon. "You are just the right kind for me if I wanted a pet that is."

"You want him alright." said Teyla. "Just admit it, besides I think he likes you."

"Alright," said Ronon. "And I will call him Dred."

While they had been talking Telya's hand had dropped toward the other box of Tribbles and a tan colored female was nuzzling against it.

Telya scooped her up and said, "Hey there little one, you want to be adopted too?"

The tan Tribble purred and snuggled into her palm.

"O.K. then." Teyla said. "Ronon, Dred meet Lola my new pet!"

"I guess we are as crazy as the humans are after all." stated Teyla.

And off they went with their new pets.
