Stepping out of the shower John wrapped a towel around his waist and went about his morning routine. Finished in the bathroom he walked out into the main part of his room and headed for his bed where he'd laid out his clothes for the day, only to find they weren't there.

Thinking he must have forgotten to lay them out before getting in the shower John moved over to the dresser like thing where he kept his clothes. Opening the first drawer he was surprised to find it empty, getting a sinking feeling in his gut John opened all the other drawers finding them all empty as well; someone had stolen all of his clothes.

Rushing over to the nightstand John grabbed his radio and contacted Aiden.

Waking up Aiden carefully rolled himself out of bed and still slightly asleep stumbled into the bathroom. After taking care of business in the bathroom he remerged in the main room intending to get dressed, only to find that (like John) all of his clothes where gone, with the exception of the boxers he was wearing.

Confused and slightly shocked about the fact that all his clothes were missing it took Aiden a minute to realize John was calling him over the radio.

"Ford here sir." Aiden picked up his radio.

"Hey just out of curiosity do you happen to be missing anything, like oh I don't know maybe all of your clothes?" John questioned.

"With the exception of the boxers I'm wearing yes sir. How'd you know?"

"Because all of mine are missing, I was left with nothing but a towel."

"McKay and Beckett?"

"Who else? …"

Before John could finish what he'd been saying a loud banging on his door interrupted him. Making sure his towel was secure John opened his door slightly only to be greeted with the site of Rodney in nothing but boxers and a small blanket wrapped around his shoulders.

Across the hall John could see Carson standing in front of Aiden's open door wearing only a pair of pajama shorts and a tank top and Aiden standing there in his boxers.

"Give us back all of our clothes right now and this doesn't have to get ugly." Rodney demanded, drawing John's attention back to him.

"Very funny Rodney, we didn't take your clothes and you know it. So why don't you two give us back our clothes and we might let you live."

"What are you talking about? We didn't take your clothes you took ours." Carson spoke up.

"No you took ours." Aiden jumped in.

Before the conversation could get really ugly someone down the hall whistling at them distracted the group. Turning the guys were shocked and slightly embarrassed to see Teyla and Elizabeth, who had a pair of boxers dangling off one finger, standing a little ways down the hall from them, both having triumphant grins on their faces.

"Now I wonder who these could belong to?" Elizabeth questioned, referring to the Superman boxers she had dangling from here finger. Both Teyla and Elizabeth almost lost it laughing when they saw Rodney's face go red.

"Wait…you…and…you." John stammered pointing at the two ladies. "But…how…why?"

"We did it to show you all how childish you have been acting." Teyla clarified for the guys.

"Yes this little war of yours has gone on long enough, and since all of you are too damn stubborn to admit defeat we decided to ended it once and for all." Elizabeth agreed.

"Ok fine you win, can we have our clothes, all of our clothes back now?" Rodney questioned, not liking the fact that a pair of his boxers were being put on display.

"No."

"No? What the bloody hell do you mean no?" Carson demanded.

"Yeah what he said." Aiden spoke up.

"If you end this little war of yours and begin to act like adults again, we will give you back one item of clothing for every time we feel you have earned the right to have that one item of clothing back. We will start with socks and work up from there." Teyla laid out the ground rules.

"Wait you mean we have to earn back our clothing?" Rodney couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You can't be serious?"

"What are you complaining about? At least you have a pair of boxers to wear." John, kicking himself for not having thought of something like this, turned on Rodney.

"Now, now boys this isn't helping you to get your cloths back any faster." Elizabeth butted in, before the two men really got started in on each other. "Now Teyla what do you say we leave the men here to sort out their behavior and you and I go get some breakfast."

"That sounds like a lovely idea."

Walking away from the stunned men Elizabeth couldn't help throwing one last triumphant grin over her shoulder at them before disappearing around a corner.

"I'll be damned. Who would have thought those two would be such diabolically evil master minds?" John commented retreating back into his room.

"Yeah, sure makes you glad they're on our side don't it?" Aiden piped in, before disappearing into his own room as well.

Not having anything they could do about the whole situation Rodney and Carson, both muttering something about evil women being the death of them, returned to their own rooms.
