AN: Sorry this took me sooo long to post. I had to decide what to type, then I had to get it betaed, and well you know how it is.

Chapter 2 The Fashion Show

The party goers continued to dance and enjoy themselves.

"I told you this would be fun," John said, as they swayed to the music.

"This was a good idea," Elizabeth agreed. And everyone seems to be having fun."

"Yeah. Listen, I'll be right back." John left her side and disappeared through the crowd.

Elizabeth looked around in confusion. 'Where did he go?'

John walked up to the dj and said something. The dj immediately cut the music. People looked around, not sure of what was happening. Before anyone could complain about the lack of music, John grabbed a microphone.

"I just wanted to welcome you guys to the first ever Atlantis Halloween Party." Shouts, cheers, and applause was heard in every corner of the room. "I have something special planned for tonight. You all will get to witness the first ever Atlantis Costume Fashion Show Competition!" More cheers and excited shouts followed, as John got the room all riled up.

An overhead light came on, illuminating the runway in the dark, club-like room. John was standing on the edge of it. "Now," the Colonel continued, "I'm going to take volunteers from the audience to come up here. Who wants to be first?" Silence followed. People were being shy. "Anybody? Yes, I see a hand!" John pointed to two people standing at the food table. "The Einstein's are our first contestants!"

Rodney almost choked on his food. "What?" He looked at Zelenka with wide eyes. "You volunteered us!" All heads in the audience turned to look at them.

Zelenka's face was bright red. "I swear I didn't raise my hand."

McKay looked at John who smiled mischievously.

"No way," the scientist said folding his arms. "I'm not doing this."

"Oh, come on."

"No," said the scientists.

John started to chant much to their embarrassment. "Einstein's…Einstein's…" He chanted until the whole room joined him.

"Einstein's! Einstein's...

"Alright already," McKay said. "Come on, Zelenka."

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy!" The crowd screamed.

The two of them made their way up to the stage and stopped next to John.

"There will be prizes awarded in the categories of best costume, and best strut."

John pointed to the dj, who pushed a button. Loud music blared out through the speakers.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Rodney said recognizing the familiar song. Blasts of laughter echoed through the room.

'This is going to be good,' Elizabeth thought, laughing inside. The lyrics started and Rodney and Zelenka could to nothing to escape their fate.

I'm too sexy for my love, too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

"There is no way I'm going down the runway with a song like that on."

"I agree," Zelenka said.

"Well, too bad," John pushed them into the light and onto the runway.

The two of them just stood there for a moment.

"I'm changing my opinion. I kind of like the beat," Zelenka replied. "What do you want us to do?"

"Just strut down the runway a few times," John answered.

"Alright," Zelenka agreed starting to walk.

"Hey, wait for me!" Rodney shouted sprinting after him.

"Come on, you can do better than that!" John said into the speaker. "It's a competition, remember?"

I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
And I'm too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan
New York and Japan
And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing

"Shake it, Rodney!" Kate yelled though the crowd.

The words hit his ears and inspired him to put more effort into his walk.

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk

He started copying Zelenka's walk and started putting attitude into it. They both turned and posed like a model would. The crowd went wild, and John took a picture.

I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far
And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little tush on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my

'Cos I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk yeah on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little tush on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my cat too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy poor pussy cat
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

And I'm too sexy for this song

The two of them had finished walking a few times around the runway and stood back to back and posed with their arms folded. Clearly they were done.

"Looks like someone had too much punch," Heightenmeyer said to Elizabeth.

'You're one to talk,' Elizabeth thought, eyeing the punch in the blond women's hand. 'I bet that punch is spiked.'

"Thank you!" John's voice came through the crowd. "Now for the next contestants! The Pirates!"

"Uh…I don't think so," Teyla said.

"Come on you two," John urged. "It will be fun!"

After a few moments of consideration, they gave into the crowds demands.

"You're going to owe us for this one," Ronon said, as they came on stage.

The music can on again, but it was a remix of the first song. At first they didn't know what to do. Eventually they got into it and were met with loud cheers from their friends. The Athosians started cheering and singing along to the music even though they didn't know what the words meant.

"This is a crazy party," Heightenmeyer said. "But, I'm having a lot of fun."

"So am I," Elizabeth shouted over the roar of the music. "This is not how I expected the party to be."

"What were you expecting it to be like?"

"I don't know. I just had this weird feeling inside like something bad might happen." The shrink looked worried. "Oh, the feeling has passed. I feel fine now."

John's voice came loud over the speaker. The next two contestants are Dr. Weir and Dr. Heightenmeyer!"

"Oh…I don't know," Elizabeth said trying to politely decline. She shot John looks that could kill. "No, I'm fine here."

"You have to come up here," John said grinning.

"I'll participate if you will," Heightenmeyer said.

"Go on, Doctor Weir," people encouraged.

"Elizabeth looked uncertain for a moment. "Ok," she agreed. 'I'm going to get you for this, John,' she thought secretly plastering a fake smile on her face. 'What have I gotten myself into?' It was too late to back out now and she tried to think of happy thoughts, as she followed the psychologist. to the runway.

John smiled at her smugly, and she resisted the urge to stick her tongue out.

The music started again and they walked up and down the stage.

'This isn't so bad,' Elizabeth pondered. 'I'm not so bad at this.'

The two Doctors were having fun absorbing the applause from the crowd. They laughed in their attempt to be serious. They did a number of crazy poses which increased their humor at the situation, as their friends cheered them on and laughed along with them. The leader's worries were all gone now and she was actually starting to have second thoughts about not liking parties. She was starting to think that they weren't so bad when a blood curdling scream was heard from the back of the room.
