Getting together later that day the guys after much consideration and debate finally decided in what part of the lesser-explored areas of the city they would have their little get together. Now all that was left for them to do was wait for the perfect opportunity to have their fun. It wasn't until a couple of days later that, that opportunity finally came along.

"Hey Ford get a move on it. It's time to put operation: Good Time in motion." John, holding some cases under his arms, spoke as he poked his head into the Lt.'s room.

"You sure it's safe?" Ford questioned as he pushed aside some things in his closet and pulled out some more cases full of the food and things he'd snuck out of the commissary and other places.

"Yep. It seems Weir's gonna be out of town for the night. Apparently the Athosians want to talk to her about something, I'm not sure what exactly though, I kind of zoned out after she said she wouldn't be back 'til some time tomorrow. She and Teyla just left for the mainland a few minutes ago."

"Sweet let's get the others."

"My thoughts exactly."

Splitting up John went in search of Carson while Aiden went looking for Rodney. Meeting up in front of the room they were going to be having their party, Rodney and Carson quickly got to setting things up, while John and Aiden went to get the moonshine.

"How many cases you grab?" John questioned as he and Aiden met up again and quietly made their way back to the room Carson and Rodney were in.

"Two. You?" Aiden replied.

"Same. You think it's enough?"

"Don't see why not. Twenty bottles a case, four cases, that's a hundred bottles."

"Yeah you're right besides we can always come back for more if we need to."

"So I see you guys are finally breaking into the new batch of moonshine." A voice, that seemed to come out of nowhere and scare the hell out of John and Aiden, stated.

Whipping around to look behind them the two came face to face with Captain Xander Cain, the commanding officer of one of the other off world teams. It took a minute for John and Aiden to realize who it was and that the person wasn't some one likely to rat them out to Weir.

"Geeze Cain, scare us half to death why don't you?" John griped and after registering what Xander had said continued. "And just how the hell do you know about the moonshine."

Xander shrugged his shoulders, "What can I say? I'm good at blending in with my surroundings and because of that I tend to hear things. So you guys going to willing let me in on the fun or do I have to threaten to black mail you?"

"Sure no, problem just keep it down." John and Aiden both glanced around making sure that there was no one else around. With that all worked out the three returned to the room and before Carson or Rodney could say anything about Xander John cut them off and explained that everything was ok.


The night started out like a typical guy night. The five men lounged around munching on junk food, drinking their moonshine, and talking about the usual guy things: sports, cars and most important of all women.

"Alright give me things you'll never hear a women say." Carson challenged the others.

"Aw that's easy." John piped up. "You'll never hear a women say 'What do you mean today's our anniversary?'"

"I know, you'll never hear a women say 'Can we not talk to each other tonight? I'd rather just watch TV.'" Xander added.

"Don't forget 'Aw, don't stop for directions, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get there.'" Aiden also added.

"Oh and you'll never hear a women say 'Can our relationship get a little more physical? I'm tired of being 'just friends'.'" Rodney offered.

"You'll never hear a women say 'Honey, does this outfit make my butt look too small?'" Carson contributed.

"And last but most certainly not least you'll never hear a women say 'Ohhhhhh, this diamond is wayyyyyyyyy tooooooo big!'" Xander finished. " Next topic, reasons why it's great to be a guy."

"It's great to be a guy because, people never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. " Aiden started off.

"You can quietly watch a game with your buddy for hours without ever thinking: 'He must be mad at me.'" John supplied.

"Homer Simpson makes perfect sense." Xander stated.

"You can go to the bathroom without a support group." Rodney joined in.

"You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness." Carson piped up.

"The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades." Xander added.

"Three pairs of shoes are more than enough." Aiden added.

"Three shirts and two pairs of pants are enough clothes for a month." Rodney added on to Aiden's suggestion.

"A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase." Carson spoke up.

"And probably the biggest reason why it's great to be a guy, One acronym that doesn't pertain to us - PMS." John stated. The guys all had to agree with that one, hands down.

By this time a few hours had passed and the guys were pretty well drunk and still downing the moonshine. Their conversations kept getting more and more unusual. At some point they'd run out of moonshine and had to go get some more out of hiding. That was quite the experience for the five men attempting to get from the room to the moonshine and back with out being spotted by anyone else. They'd only run into one person on the way and that was one of the scientists working under Rodney, it'd taken every thing he had in him for Rodney to act sober enough to listen and reply to what the man had to say. But eventually they completed their objective.
