A/N THANKS SO MUCH TO MY BETA FOR CHECKING GRAMMER AND SPELLING! YOUR AWSOME!

Colonel John Sheppard gazed thoughtfully at the roller blades leaning against the wall of his room. No one would notice if he took them out for spin, right ? Yeah he'd do it outside were no one could bother him. After all, he was off duty for about three more hours. He glanced at his watch reading 3:00pm. Plenty of time.

John walked as casually as possible down the hall with duffel bag in hand. No one said a thing as he passed them, thank goodness. Probably because he looked like he was going to work out and nothing more.

Rodney McKay walked quietly down the hall examining a small engraved object in his hand curiously. Suddenly, he saw Sheppard coming towards him. Rodney said nothing as they passed each other by, Rodney waiting for him to say something sarcastic. Strangely enough - he didn't. Okay now that was weird, he thought while watching as the Colonel turned a corner, noticing that he was carrying a duffel bag. He was definitely up to something. McKay shoved the object he had been looking at into his pocket, turned, and followed the Colonel.

Sheppard breathed a sigh of relief as McKay passed by with out a word. The last thing he needed was Rodney pestering him while he had some fun. Finally, on stepping outside, he breathed in the fresh air of the open world, and within a few minutes he had his skates on.

Rodney watched as Sheppard went through the door that led outside. He quickly found the second door that also led to the same area just a little further down where he hoped John wouldn't see him come out. Thankfully, he didn't, and Rodney watched quietly as Sheppard skated - that's right skated - back and forth. He then stepped out in full view while John's back was to him.

Sheppard picked up speed as he glided back and forth over the wide platform. Okay, now this was fun. He turned sharply around to see someone with arms folded and staring straight at him. Sheppard tried to stop but his feet slipped out from under him. His right wrist flared with pain as he flung it out to try to stop himself from falling. Yet he still fell hard, and was now glaring up at McKay.

"Damn it Mckay what the hell!"

"You do realize your not seventeen any more, right?" Rodney replied.

"And that means what to me?" Sheppard growled angrily. His wrist was still throbbing and he was sure it was sprained. That's when McKay started to laugh.

"What? What's so funny?" John snapped.

"You," Rodney said, and held out a hand to help Sheppard up.

"Ha ha vary funny indeed," Sheppard irritably replied, grabbing Rodney's hand with his own good one. His feet were a little unstable with the skates, and he would have fallen over again if McKay hadn't grabbed his arm. He winced when the movement jarred his wrist.

"What? Whats wrong?" McKay asked, noticing the reaction.

"Nothing," Sheppard said, now able to keep himself standing.

"Yeah, right, you hurt yourself when you fell didn't you?"

" Yeah, but it wasn't my fault. You practically came out of no where," John replied harshly. He then noticed the apologetic look on Rodney's face.

" Look its probably just a sprain. I'll have Carson check it out. Really McKay I'm fine."

" Yeah well..." McKay started, but stopped as the blare of alarms reached his and John's ears.

"What the hell?" John said, quickly skating over to the door with Rodney not far behind. He tried opening it, but nothing happened.

"McKay?" Sheppard said, looking over at the scientist.

"Must be a lock down," Rodney said on coming closer to the door.

Sheppard tapped his radio. " Dr Weir this is Colonel Sheppard, do you read me?" He said into his com.

" I read you," She replied.

" Whats going on?" Sheppard asked.

" We're trying to figure that out, where are you?"

This time it was McKay who replied "John decided to have a little fun."

"Where sort of locked outside." Sheppard said while glaring at Rodney.

" McKay you you think you can get the door open?" Weir asked sounding annoyed.

"I might be able to but if the city's on lock down it might take a while. In fact we may just be stuck out hear until its ended."

They heard Weir sigh, then say, "Report back when you do, Weir out."

Sheppard sighed heavily while McKay just stared at the door.

Okay McKay, do your thing Sheppard said. McKay glared at him.

And what, exactly, is my thing?"

John glared. " Just get the door open Rodney."
