A/N Not exactlythe best chapter in the world but here it goes...

"Welcome back did it..." Elizabeth Weir stopped and stared at the team that had just returned from trading with the Vargins.

" Colonel just what exactly is that?" she pointed at the...well...she didn't exactly know what it was, actually it looked more like a groomed hairball. She looked at the others noticing now that they all had one.

"Ronon is that one pink?" She looked at the Runner a little amused. Ronon just grumbled seeming annoyed.

"Uh perhaps we can explain during the debriefing?" John said noticing the many eyes that were now on him and his team.

Weir looked as if she was about to protest but she seemed to notice the look on Sheppard's face and said "Alright briefings in an hour and I better not see one of those things running around Atlantis and terrorizing people." John nodded and quickly left the gate room fallowed by his vary embarrassed team.

"You don't think shes mad do you?" Rodney said nervously as he walked beside Sheppard to the briefing room.

"Mckay clam down, I'm sure once we explain why we had to except them she'll understand and move onto something else." John gently placed his Shrieker on his shoulder as they entered the room.

"And if she doesn't?"

"Mckay will you just calm down, its not like she going to shoot us or anything if she doesn't." Mckay just sighed and took a seat.

Ronon and Teyla then entered the room. Teyla was holding the pink and white Shriekers in both hands. She placed them on the table and sat down, using her hands to keep them from falling of the tables edge. Ronon also sat with a grunt. That's when the room became immensely tense and everyone except Ronon seemed to hold their breath as Elizabeth entered the room.

She sat and looked at the small creatures Teyla was obviously trying to keep from falling of the table."So Colonel care to explain?" she said looking at her second in command, curiously eyeing the thing on his shoulder.

John sighed then quickly explained their "Gift" to Weir who listened intently.

"You are sure about them being harmless?" She asked directing the question towards Teyla who nodded and said "Quite."

" Alright they can stay, on one condition, they get checked thoroughly for any thing unnatural about them." Everyone nodded the tension disappearing quickly."Now lets move on to something else..."

"Your telling me that you actually got me one of these things?" Elizabeth said to John as he held out the pink Shrieker to her.

"Well ya..." Oh crap he thought.

Weir looked at the small purring creature. She couldn't believe he had actually gotten her one... she sighed well it was kinda cute.

"Well... fine." John smiled looking triumphant as she took the small animal. Who purred contentedly.

"What the bloody hell is that!" Carson Beckett cried eyeing the small creature that Rodney was holding out to him.

"Its a gift form the Vargins their called Shriekers, Teyla says their perfectly harmless." Carson eyed the black and brown creature again, then at the one on Rodney's shoulder that purred contentedly. Yeah that's right purred, around Rodney.

"Well... alright but if it bites me I'm blaming you." He then gently took the creature form Rodney's hand. It purred although not as loud as Rodney's.

"See he likes you." Mckay said smirking. Carson gently stroked the small creatures back, making it purr even louder.

"I suppose I can grow to liking him." He said and Rodney smiled broadly.

A/N Okay short sweet and kinda weird, if I do say so myself ! Can you imagine Rodney actually giving Carson one of the Shriekers...the bunnies have lost their minds QUICK REVIEW, BEFOR THEY GET TO ANGRY!
