Creep is back.

.

Todd was visiting Atlantis and of course he had his Wraith Tribble Creep with him. He would be in a meeting with Mr. Woolsey and the SGA-1 team most of the day and when he was told that Atlantis had two Daycares, one by the gateroom for people to drop off their Tribbles on their way offworld and a new Daycare in the room the Tribbles had found and made their own.

He was told that there would be a person in there to keep an eye on the Tribbles. So Todd went to check it out. He went along with John Sheppard who was on his way to drop off Puddles.

"I see Puddles still has a blankie," stated Todd.

"Yes he does," sighed John, "what happened to Creeps blankie that Teyla made him?" John asked.

"He still has it, but he keeps it to sleep with these days, I haven't seen him carry it around as much as he used to," Todd said, "maybe he has outgrown it, or it was a fad."

"Well sometimes I wish Puddles would get over wanting his," explained John. "He drags it all over the place so much I've had to replace it once already."

They reached the new Daycare place and went inside. Todd thought it was most interesting what the Tribbles had done there in the room. He saw Tribbles playing, building with Lego's, painting pictures, etc.

Rodney and the rest of the team had already dropped off their Tribbles, even Mr. Grey was there.

Todd and John put Creep and Puddles down beside the others and then left to go to the meeting.

Puddles came over to say hi to Creep whom he had befriended last time he was on Atlantis.

Then the Tribbles went walking around the room showing Creep what all the Tribbles had made.

Fluffy was getting jealous that Puddles was following Creep around, Puddles was his friend, not Creeps!

After awhile Fluffy went over and dragged Puddles away from Creep. Then Creep went over and dragged Puddles back.

Puddles did not like the rough treatment and started to cry. Creep then took Puddles over to a castle that some Tribbles had just finished building and put Puddles on top of the highest tower. Then Creep went and blocked the door so the others could not get in.

"Oh no! Creep has kidnapped Puddles!" Dred and Lola squeaked. "We must rescue him," Fluffy squeaked back.

Dred and Lola tried to get the door open, but it was blocked tight. Fluffy started building a catapult out of some stuff from the pile of stuff people would leave the Tribbles.

The Tribbles who had built the castle were not pleased that it had been taken over and started helping Fluffy. Soon they had the catapult ready and were gathering marbles to load it with to shoot at the castle.

Creep saw what they were doing and started throwing blocks down at the Tribbles gathered around the castle. Unfortunately one of the castle building Tribbles had laid in quite a supply of blocks to be used for defense. So Creep had enough blocks to last quite awhile.

Puddles sat on his blankie on top of the tower watching below. His friends were shooting marbles at the castle; Creep was throwing blocks at them. All he could do from up there was watch.

Then Mr. Grey got involved. He came to the castle and tried to talk to Creep, but Creep did not want to talk to him and threw a block at him. Mr. Grey dodged it and got back out of harms way.

Genius (aka Pyro) stood on the sidelines watching. It looked like Creep was outnumbered and would soon be overrun by the other Tribbles. Genus had met Creep and thought it was cool he was a Wraith Tribble.

Genius went over to the corner where he had hid his stash. Yes still there. There was his bag with his lighter, fireworks and smoke bombs in it. Kavanagh and Heightmeyer had tried to cure him from lighting things and Genius had played along for awhile. But he had not lit anything on fire or blown anything up for awhile so he thought he was due.

Genius took his bag and snuck in the back way to the castle. He had made a back way into the castle so he could go in anytime he wanted to.

Creep was surprised to hear a squeak behind him. He turned to find Genius behind him holding a lighter and a smoke bomb. "Alright more ammo" squeaked Creep as he welcomed Genius.

Genius lit the smoke bomb and Creep threw it. The Tribbles below scattered out of the way. The smoke bomb was followed by a few firecrackers. That set a pattern; it was smoke bomb, firecrackers, smoke bomb etc.

By then the Tribbles on either side of the castle had got caught up in the fight. The Daycare person did not intervene because she had taken a break and had not asked for someone to watch the Tribbles while she was gone, after all what trouble could they get into?

By the time she came back there had been at least six smoke bombs thrown and allot of firecrackers.

She came over and tried to stop the fight. There were too many Tribbles throwing things and with the smoke bombs and firecrackers there was just too much chaos going on. She had to call for some help.

She also sent a message to the meeting room about what was going on. The meeting had just ended so everyone came to see what was happening.

As soon as Mr. Grey saw Mr. Woolsey he came over and squeaked about what was going on. Mr. Woolsey picked him up and told the others to get their Tribbles under control.

Rodney, Ronon and Teyla picked up their Tribbles. John reached over and picked Puddles and his blankie up off the tower. Todd picked Creep up in midthrow and got hit on the nose with a smoke bomb which bounced off and hit one of the Tribbles houses on the sidelines. Tribbles came running out as smoke filled the little house.

Finally they got the fight stopped but the room was a mess with the castle and the houses on either side torn up. And there were blocks, marbles, smoke bombs (still smoking) and the debris from the fireworks was everywhere.

They had all the Tribbles leave the room so people could come in and clean up the mess.

No one knew what had started the fight not knowing how to speak Tribble. But it was clearly Creep and Genius against the rest. They weren't sure why Puddles was on top of the tower though.

The Tribbles were separated. Dred, Lola, Mr. Grey & Fluffy were taken by their owners and put in their rooms for the rest of the day as punishment.

Kavanagh was told to bring Genius back to Dr. Heightmeyer because he evidently needed more counseling.

Creep went back to Todd and stayed on his shoulder for the rest of the day.

Little Puddles with his blankie was curled up in John's pocket asleep. After all it had been a long day for him and he was tired.

Two days latter the room was opened once again for the Tribbles. But now there were two people on duty so if one left the room the other could keep an eye on the Tribbles.

After all, one never knows what the Tribbles might do. One just never knows……
