"You ... you don't mind, Major?" The shock and surprise in Weir's voice was evident. John grinned.
"Well, like you say it's only temporary. And whatever we're gonna find will still be out there in a couple of days." Teyla and Elizabeth shared a look. Major John Sheppard agreeing not to gate travel?
"Is that all, Ma'am? Ford and I have some business to attend to. And McKay." Elizabeth just nodded and the men disappeared within seconds. She turned to Teyla.
"Now whose acting suspicious?"
"They are indeed acting unlike themselves. Shall we investigate?" Weir shook her head as Amanda slipped into the room.
"We don't have time; we have to make sure that everything is ready before we make the announcement." The other two women nodded and they quickly departed, each to do their own task.
Elizabeth was in charge of making the announcement, and the proper way of doing it. She had also made several posters for the event.
Teyla had to inform some of her people without others getting suspicious or without other people on Atlantis finding out.
Amanda and Renée had the job of arranging food. Since they knew a lot of people who worked in the canteen they were the obvious choice for that job. All they had to do was persuade some of their friends to sneak some food into unknown compartments and make some other types of food.
Meanwhile the men of the base were just as busy.
John was working with McKay, Beckett and Zelenka to rearrange the ancient technology for the big night. It was mainly Sheppard, as the city seemed to like him the best out of those with the gene and it soon became easy to do.
Ford, along with Stackhouse and Markham, starting rigging doorways and chairs with their 'surprises'. The list, along with confetti, now included flowers, petals, glitter and small, wrapped chocolates. The two soldier's didn't dare ask where the lieutenant had gotten the stuff from, although they did worry about what the answer would be.
With a week to go until the important date, Weir decided it was time and with Teyla, Amanda and Renée beside her she stepped up to the microphone.
A/N – Apologies for such a short chapter but I promise that the next one will be a biggie. I felt I needed to include this stuff but I didn't want to put it with other stuff so ... yeah, stay tuned folks! Will update again soon!
