Something old, we still need something old. Does Teyla want something old? Or is she going to do some Athosian tradition thing? Should really ask her. What's that? Someone was tugging on Laura's jacket startling her from her daydream. She looked around and seeing no-one she looked down and saw Mia.

"Yes Mia?"

"I'm here for my lesson." Mia said. Mia had decided that she wanted to have lessons on everything a few months earlier. Rodney, or uncle Mer as she called him, was teaching her science when he wasn't saving the city or offworld. If any of these events were taking place Radek was teaching her as long as he wasn't busy. Beckett was teaching her basic first aid, Teyla was teaching her stick fighting, Elizabeth was teaching her diplomacy and Laura was teaching her languages. John and Ronan were going to teach her hand-to-hand combat, flying and weapons training respectfully when she was older. At the moment John was perfectly happy making sure she was happy and having fun. He was also teaching her football which she seemed to enjoy. This all depended of course on times of missions and whatever crisis the city was in. This also depended on whether or not Mia could get Rodney up on time for his breakfast. Mia had set up a routine so that Rodney would have three meals a day as well as a snack every couple of hours and minimum of eight hours sleep a night (though this usually fell to John to do as she was asleep by midnight). Everyone seemed to be pleased by this routine because it meant that someone was getting through to the scientist. If anyone tried this he would snap at them except for Mia and his team. This was because Mia couldn't go offworld with them. So she had entrusted John with the task of making sure he got his snack and meal when they were offworld. Rodney understood this but still complained about it.

Laura and Mia had been speaking Ancient for the last few hours when Mia's watch beeped.

"What's that?" Laura asked. She was still very confused when it came to the routine.

"Time for the team to come home. I always go to the control room to see that they get home ok. Sometimes Chuckles lets me lower the shield providing there isn't any trouble. Then I have an hour of TV and at 5 I collect uncle Mer for tea." One thing had caught Laura's attention.

"Who's Chuckles Mia?" Laura asked puzzled.

"Chuck. The gate technician." Mia stated.

"But why do you call him Chuckles if you know his name is Chuck?"

"Because he is always smiling and laughing." Laura was about to ask another question and Mia answered before Laura could ask, "He doesn't mind. I'm off mam. See you later." Mia left the lab with a wave leaving Laura in shock.

Sitting down to tea everyone was talking when Laura said, "What can I use for something old?"

"Atlantis." Rodney said. Everyone looked at him in surprise, "What? Isn't 10,000 years old not old enough?" he asked snarkily.

"I never thought of that. Thanks Rodney." Laura smiled at him and they began eating when Laura stopped and said, "Now I need something new." The group let out a groan and Laura started laughing before saying, "Just kidding. I already know what my something new is."

A/N: Sorry for the shortness. But I really wanna get past the weddings and what not so that I can get to some adventure etc.
