Chapter 2:

John walked into the mess hall still contemplating what had just happened with Elizabeth. Is she dating Caldwell now? That's gross! He saw Rodney, Teyla, Carson and Ronan sitting at a table and went over to join them. He sat down opposite Ronan and Teyla and put a hand through his bed-head hair.

"What's up?" He asked casually. Ronan and Teyla simultaneously looked up at the ceiling in confusion. Rodney and Carson both burst into laughter. John smiled weakly. Carson turned to John.

"What wrong, lad? Don't tell me you didn't find that slightly comical?" Carson said smiling.

"I don't feel like laughing. Actually I feel more like chucking up." John sighed. Rodney jumped out of his seat.

"Just don't chuck up on me!" Rodney said. Teyla grinned.

"Yes I do believe Dr. McKay has a date, to get ready for. I'm sure he wouldn't want to smell bad." She said cheerfully. Ronan nearly choked on his food.

"With a girl?" Ronan questioned.

Carson laughed. "That's exactly what I said, lad!" Rodney grabbed his plate, stood up and scowled.

"At least I have a date! I can't say the same for you lot!" Rodney smirked. Ronan picked up his plate and faced Rodney. Rodney looked up at him in horror.

"Some of us aren't desperate." And with that, Ronan left the mess hall. Rodney sighed in relief.

"You know that guy can be pretty intimidating." Rodney said tucking his chair in and finishing his coffee. John smiled.

"What's intimidating about a guy who could break your skull with his bare hands?" John said, leaning back in his chair.

"He can't…no one can…he can really…oh my God…okay well, I'm going to lock myself in my lab for a couple of days." Rodney then swiftly walked out of the mess hall, constantly looking from side to side for any glimpse of the tall warrior.

Teyla smiled and looked at Carson. "You say Ronan and I are comical, but I happen to think that Dr. McKay is a lot more enjoyable to watch...especially when he's frightened. Wouldn't you agree?"

Carson chuckled. "Yes lass I would. Now come on, colonel, tell us what's wrong." Carson said nudging John who appeared to be day-dreaming.

John sighed and looked from Carson to Teyla. "I think Elizabeth is dating Caldwell." A look of disgust was all over his face.

Teyla frowned. "You are not happy for them?" Happy for them? Teyla did you hear me! I said Elizabeth and Caldwell! That's purely revolting!

"No! This is Elizabeth and Caldwell, that's just…eeww! Just thinking about it makes me want to lean over a toilet." John shuddered at the thought of them together.

Carson looked unconvinced. "Are you sure? Somehow I can't see Elizabeth going for the military type." What wrong with the military type? I'm in the military!

"Yes, I am sure, and it's not that he's in the Air Force. It's just I don't see Elizabeth going for someone like…him." John looked extremely confused.

Teyla looked at John worriedly. "Are you sure this is to do with your feeling towards Colonel Caldwell…or your feelings towards Dr. Weir?" Carson, who was drinking at this point, began to splutter. John turned his head sharply towards the doctor then back to Teyla.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" He said aggressively. Teyla realised this was a touchy subject and so left it be.

"Oh, nothing colonel. It was only a thought, nothing more." She said simply and took a food tray and left the table. John turned to Carson to see him trying not to smile.

"She wrong! I'm telling you she's wrong! Don't look at me like that!" He stood up angrily.

Carson smiled smugly and held up his hands defensively. "I didn't say a word." John stormed out of the mess hall and decided to pay a visit to Rodney. They give the most crap advice ever! Feelings towards Elizabeth…please! I need some good, solid, honest advice from a good, honest, trustworthy person!

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

"Rodney!" John barked as he entered his friend's lab.

"Look, I realise I'm not your favourite person in this world or the other, but giving me a heart attack is a little evil even for you." John ignored his comment.

"Here's the deal. I don't want any reaction from you whatsoever. Elizabeth is going to dinner with Caldwell alone and I want to find out if they're together together, if you know what I mean."

"Oh, please! Why do you give me such simple things! Easy peasy lemon queezy! Spy on them." John smiled. Now that's a plan! And I'm going to forget you said easy peasy lemon queezy.

NEXT TIME: John's spying goes horribly wrong and he suffers the consequences.

PLEASE REVIEW! Give me some suggestions as to how the spying could go horribly wrong. I want Elizabeth to be angry with him, because well…they can't fall in love to quickly…that's just not realistic. Sorry Elizabeth wasn't in this chapter I just couldn't find a place for her, lots of love PickledCabbage xxxxxx
