A/N: I'm a bit new to Stargate Atlantis so please correct me when you review. I dunno if there are any spoilers.


Brunch, Sleep, and Baywatch

"Down time…" Major Sheppard says unenthusiastically as he along with Rodney, Teyla, and Ford walk out of the briefing room.

"What is wrong Major Sheppard? Do you not enjoy taking a break from 'Gate travel?" Teyla asks.

"Eh, I dunno, I guess I'm becoming a work-a-holic." he says smiling to himself at the thought.

"Hmm… maybe we should get a movie." Rodney suggests.

"No, I don't think so…" Sheppard says.

Rodney looks at John with an 'excuse me?' kind of look. "Why not?"

Teyla leans over to Ford as they both watch them quarrel. "Isn't it much too early for them to be arguing again?"

"Naw, it's never too early for them." he whispers back. She tilts her head to the side a bit with a smirk on her face. "C'mon, let's get some brunch."

As the two walk away, the other two still argue. "Oh, so it's 'I don't wanna watch a movie because we've been watching too many and, cough, because it's with you, cough?' " Rodney states.

"No, and I did not say that." he says back.

"No, and I did not say that." Rodney mimics.

Sheppard glares at him and finally gives in. "Fine we'll watch a movie but we're gonna watch Paycheck."

"No, we're watching 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

"No, Paycheck. That movie sucks anyway."

"We'll vote on it." They both look around and see no Teyla or Ford. They both look annoyed. "How about we just decide when we get to there." Sheppard suggests.

"Fine with me." Rodney shrugs and they walk. As they step into another room, John speaks up.

"Just to let you know, I've already seen 20000 Leagues and Paycheck and they both suck." he says.

"Yup, same here…"


At the Lounge

Rodney goes through the entire collection of DVDs while Sheppard sits on the couch eating popcorn.

"Friends?"

"Seen it."

"Tru Calling?"

"Seen it."

"The X Files Fight the Future?"

"Seen it."

"Independence Day?

"Seen it."

"After the Sunset?"

"Eh, seen it." he says distastefully.

"Baywatch?"

"Hm… now there's a thought…" Sheppard thinks aloud, taking a few pieces of popcorn and stuffing his mouth with it.

"You're sick." Rodney says putting it back.

Sheppard, who obviously didn't hear him, starts to talk to himself again. "Naw, I've see that way too many times."

Rodney sits on the floor, staring at the neatly arranged directory of DVDs in shock. "We've seen them all."

"Maybe we should see it again. I mean, they do look hot with their…what?"

"We've seen them all. Maybe not here in Atlantis but back home. We've seen them all."

"Wow. Well, it can't be that bad. I mean, we don't usually get down time."

"Correction, we usually don't get one week of down time. What the heck am I gonna do with one week without anything to do!" He complains.

"Sleep?" John suggests.

Rodney sighs and gets up from the floor. "Sure why not…" he says and heads out the door.

"You go do that…" John says mischievously.

After Rodney left, John looked around to see if anyone was there then, realizing he was alone, popped in one of the DVDs. Sitting back on the couch, he smiles inwardly to himself and relaxes as the theme for Baywatch starts.


A/N: Heh, I was gonna make him watch Tru Calling in the episode that Joe was guest starring in but then I remembered the X Files when Mulder was talking to that kid in Endgame. : D

Okay, please R&R. Thanks in Advance!
