Vala and Cameron
.
Lt Colonel Cameron Mitchell was lying in a bed in the infirmary. He had been shot in the leg on his last off world mission. Cameron's red Tribble Footloose was snuggled up to his leg, where he was shot, whining softly. Vala Mal Doran one of his SG1 teammates was sitting on the end of the bed, her hot pink Tribble Delilah was on her shoulder. Delilah had beautiful long silky fur. Vala had put it up into pigtails on top of Delilah's head. "What's wrong with Footloose?" Vala asks. "The little guy just can't stand it when I get hurt," said Cameron, while petting Footloose.
"Poor little Footloose, maybe my Delilah can cheer him up," Vala said placing Delilah on the bed. Delilah went over to Footloose and snuggles up to him and starts whining too.
"She's not cheering him up, she's joining him," complained Cameron, "now we have two depressed Tribbles."
"I didn't think that would happen," said Vala looking at the Tribbles. "What can we do?" she asked.
In walks Daniel with his lavender Tribble Isis on his shoulder. "What's going on guys?" He spots the two whining Tribbles. "What's with them?"
"Footloose is whining because Cameron got shot and Delilah is whining because Footloose is," explains Vala.
Isis jumps off Daniels shoulder and joins the other two Tribbles. She snuggles in between them and then starts tickling them, soon the three Tribbles are off chasing each other around the bed. After the third time one ran into his hurt leg Cameron called a stop to it. "I'm glad they feel good now, but can we get them off the bed?"
"O.K.," says Vala as she scoops up Delilah and Footloose and Daniel caught Isis. "Since Footloose is happy again why don't we take them somewhere to play and let Cameron sleep?"
"That's a good idea guys," says Cameron. "Where are you going to take them?" he asks.
"I know," says Vala as she runs out the door after giving Daniel the eye. Daniel catches on and says, "Oh no you don't!" "Leave my fish tank alone!" He yells as he chases after her.
"Quiet at last," sighs Cameron as he closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
