Note: Thanks go out to SueKay who read over Carson's part for me to make sure nothing needed to be changed to make it sound more like him.
Chapter Two
"What did you do McKay?" John yelled, though it was his voice. How could it be when he was staring at his body?
"M-me? What did I do? You're the one who activated the stupid thing!" Rodney sputtered, pulling himself off the floor and all but falling into his chair. Putting his feet on the desk he sighed.
"You told me not too put my feet on the desk," John said as he leaned against the wall.
Rodney glared at him, "Yeah well now they seem to be my feet and I'll put them where I please."
"Fine, whatever," John shrugged Rodney's shoulders, "What are we suppose to do now?"
"Figure this out fast is what we are going to do because I have no desire to take your place in your physical, Carson is a little pissed with you."
"Like I really want to take your place either," John snapped.
Grumbling Rodney picked up a ancient data pad—at least that's what he assumed it was—and moved the thing around in his…John's hands. Suddenly the thing lit up and began beeping. Holding it at arms length Rodney watched it warily.
"What?"
"What? What?" Rodney asked, still looking at the device.
John growled, "Why are you holding that like you expect it to explode?"
Rodney looks at the device curiously, "cause it's never done this before. It wouldn't work before at all."
John, seeing that he was about loose Rodney to research and probably any chance of getting his body back before the next millennium, grabbed the device out of Rodney's hands briefly noting it turned off again before tossing it on the desk.
"Hey! I was looking at that!"
"I know. That was the problem. How about we focus on this problem?" John pointed toward his…well Rodney's face and glowered.
"Alright, fine!" Rodney got up and headed toward the door.
John looked at his own retreating back with furrowed brows, "Where do you think you're going?"
Rodney turned back to look at John, not being phased the fact that it was himself he was looking at, "You want this fixed, I need the tablets that I found with the device. I left them in the lab."
John looked at Rodney in alarm, "Oh, no we are not going out there."
"Then how do you…." Rodney was cut off when his radio beeped, hitting the button he answered, "M…Sheppard here."
"Where are you Major? You're 80 minutes late for your physical!"
Rodney cringed when the sound of Carson's voice pounded into his ear, "I-I-I…." Rodney trailed off and looked at John helplessly. What was he suppose to say?
Carson's voice filtered over the radio again this time slightly less angry and a little more concerned, "Are you okay, lad?"
"I'm fine." Rodney replied tersely before shutting of the radio and pulling it out of his ear.
"What are you doing?"
"Taking the radio; I'm not really in the mood to be yelled at again by someone who thinks I'm you." Rodney shoved the radio into John's pocket. "Let's go."
John sighed and followed Rodney out of his office. There was no point in objecting again. He didn't want to stay in Rodney's body and more than Rodney wanted to stay in his. He only hoped no one wanted to talk to Rodney about anything. Thinking about it, John thought that maybe Rodney was on to something and he too shoved the radio into the pocket of Rodney's pants. Now if only the halls stayed empty, no one noticed them or no one talked to them they just might make it through this blunder without anyone knowing.
