Title: Getting to Know You.

Summary: John and Elizabeth get to know each other a little better. (Sequel to 'Guys Night' but you don't necessarily have to have read it to understand this story).

Paring: Nothing concrete, but some of you will probably see elements of shippyness here and there and that's ok if you do, I don't mind.

Warning: Some language.

Disclaimer: Stargate Atlantis is not mine. Only the story line and any made up characters that may or may not appear in the story belong to me.

A/N: You guys wanted a sequel to 'Guys Night' so here it is. If you haven't read 'Guys Night' I'd suggest you do, even though you can read this story and still pretty much understand what's going on, there will be some references back to "Guys Night' that might have you going ???

I have not officially made up my mind on what pairings I like on Stargate Atlantis, I haven't seen enough of the show to make a decision yet, but I am starting to lean towards Weir/Sheppard. For this story basically think the whole UST thing that's been going on between Jack and Sam for years, but with John and Elizabeth.

#John's thoughts#

/Elizabeth's thoughts/

John slowly wandered around Atlantis, taking in the sites and enjoying his new freedom. It was sometime after midnight, which was just fine with John, he preferred the city at night it was quieter and more peaceful than during the day. Reaching the control room John noticed the light on in Elizabeth's office.

# I don't believe this it's after midnight and she's still in there working. #

Not want ting to bother her if she was really busy, John quietly entered Elizabeth's office and stood leaning in the doorframe, hands in his pockets, watching Elizabeth doing some paper work. It didn't take long before Elizabeth noticed John's presence, she always seemed to know when he was around and vise versa.

"You're supposed to be in your quarters, you're not on duty." Elizabeth stated with out raising her head or stopping what she was working on.

/ What the hell is he doing here? /

John looked at his watch before replying, "Actually it is 12:30 A.M., which means my two months punishment has officially been over for the last half hour." (A/N: I'm too tired and feeling too lazy to figure out military time at the moment so please don't review telling me I have my times wrong or whatever, I know it's wrong).

This got Elizabeth's attention as she lifted her head up to look at John for the first time since he'd entered her office. Seeing the slightly confused slightly amused look on Elizabeth's face thrilled John, after months of knowing Elizabeth, John knew for a fact that he was the only person around who could put that exact look on her face.

# Yeah score one for the J-man. #

"It can't be that late already it feels like I just got started." John just shrugged his shoulders.

/He has to be joking, it can't be that late already./ Elizabeth looked at her own watch and realized that John was telling the truth, it was after midnight.

"Well in that case tell me Major John Sheppard now that you have finally gotten your freedom back what are you going to do next?"

"Well since going to Disney Land is obviously out of the question I thought I'd wander around the city for a little bit, have a glass or two of the Athosian moonshine we have in storage, then hit the sack."

"Sounds like a plan. Mind if I join you?"

# Did she just ask if she could…whoa, stop right there John, don't go letin' your head roam in the gutter, it's not what your thinking, it can't be. #

Seeing the amused little grin start to appear on John's face Elizabeth had a pretty good idea what was going through John's head.

"You know what I mean Major."

/Not that I can blame you for thinking along those lines./

"Right, so what'd ya say we blow this joint and go find us some moonshine?"

"Lead the way."

Elizabeth got up and followed John out of her office, headed towards one of the storage rooms near the commissary. After grabbing a bottle of moonshine and a couple of glasses the two soon found themselves on what they both secretly thought of as their balcony.

A/N: That's all I got written for now. Don't worry I have most if not all of it planned out in my head, but you gotta review if you want me to continue.
