Dang, I still don't own anything. Maybe someday.
Hope ya like this chapter (I wrote this while I was sick).
Chapter Seven: Revelations
The next morning, Rodney and John met everyone in the infirmary. They laughed as John ran ahead shouting and having a good time. Looking at Rodney was the exact opposite. He looked tired and grumpy.
"How did you boys sleep?" Teyla asked, trying not to laugh at the glare that Rodney shot her.
"We had lots of fun. First we got back and he gave me soda. He said it was a combination of Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew: Code Red. It was really good. Then we stayed up all night and played games. Rodney kept on saying it was time for bed but I wasn't tired. My dad never let's me drink pop before bed," John rambled on. They all looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"By the way guys, thanks for telling me that I can't give kids pop," Rodney said sarcastically.
"Rodney, everyone knows that you can't give kids pop, the caffeine gets them hyped up," Carson said.
"Wow, that's like twelve hours to late. Can I please go work on the chair? I talked to Zelenka this morning and he hasn't had any luck. I promise not to touch it or go near it. I'll just tell people what to do," Rodney begged to Elizabeth.
"Alright, you can go. Just be careful. I think that John and I will have breakfast, sound good everyone?"
They all nodded and went their separate ways. Elizabeth smiled as John ran a little ways ahead of her. He was fun to watch as a child but she missed the adult version of him. They had grown close over the last few months and although he was right in front of her, he wasn't. There was something different about him, something he was holding back. She had figured that it had to be something about his mother. Hopefully one day she would know.
"Can I have waffles with chocolate chips and syrup?" His voice drew here out of her thoughts.
"Um, I think you have had enough sugar in the last twelve hours. You can have waffles with syrup but no chocolate."
They sat down and started eating quietly. A couple minutes later, Ford came up.
"Can I join you guys?"
"Sure Lieutenant," Elizabeth said smiling. Ford and John talked a little about his dog and war movies that they had seen. Suddenly, Elizabeth's headset came to life.
"Elizabeth, I figured out how to fix this whole situation. Zelenka missed the most obvious thing. There is literally a 'big' and 'little' switch on it. If you bring the major back to the gateroom, we can escort him back and change him back," Rodney said.
"We'll be right there." Looking at Ford and John she said, "Let's go."
I took the whole Mountain Dew thing from real life. I didn't know that caffeine and kids don't mix.
Review please. I think I may finish this in the next chapter.
