Danielle was never a morning person and all this noise wasn't helping any. 'Wait, noise? Where's all this noise coming from?' She opened her eyes to a sight that shocked her. She wasn't in her room. She didn't know where she was. It looked like some kind of hospital room. She looked over to her left and saw Genna in the next bed and Anita in the one after her. She looked around to if anyone was in the room. She grabbed her pillow and threw it and hit Genna in the face.
"Uhhh, Danny. Just ten more minutes. I can be late today Donell's coming in early."
"Genna get UP!"
"Uhhh, fine." she opened her eyes. "Where the hell are we?"
"We're on Atlantis!" Anita suddenly yelled.
"Shhh, someone will hear!" Suddenly someone walked in.
"Your all awake, great." he smiled. He had a Scottish accent. He looked at Danielle. "Can you tell me your name?" she was too stunned to answer. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. This couldn't be real. There in front of her, asking how SHE was stood Carson Beckett the object of her affections on Atlantis. She came out of her shock. 'Have to play it cool.'
"Uh...Danielle Summers...and yours?
"Oh sorry, I'm Dr. Beckett. Where are you from?"
"Well. I live in Colorado Springs but I'm from West Virginia."
"Earth?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, let me go examine your friends and then I'll just take you to see Dr.Weir."
"Do I need to see another doctor?"
"Different kind of doctor." he chuckled.
After checking them to make sure they could walk he led them to Weir's office. They walked in on an argument.
"There is no possible way that they could be from Earth." Rodney was saying.
"Knock, Knock." Beckett said before bringing them in.
"Oh, hello," Weir said standing up to shake their hands. "I'm Dr. Elizabeth Weir. This is John Sheppard our ranking military officer," he gave a wave," this is Rodney McKay our head scientist," he just smiled," this is Teyla and Ronan our.. uh.. combat experts." Teyla smiled and Ronan didn't do anything.
"Hi, I'm Danielle Summers." she smiled nervously.
"Anita McKlaskey."
"Genna Smith."
John looked at Rodney with an 'I told you so look,' "See Genna has a last name from Earth, they must be from there."
"That doesn't prove anything."
"Why don't you tell us how you got here, as there are no ships here that came from Earth?" Weir requested.
"Danielle you do it please, I can't get my head around it." Genna asked rubbing her head.
"Okay," she turned to Weir, "I'm starting to think, either I'm dreaming or not only are we from Earth, we're also from another reality."
They were stunned. "Well how do you figure that?" Rodney asked in a smart ass way.
"Well, where we're from, this is just a TV show." Silence. "As a matter of fact, we were watching it last night."
"Prove it." Rodney demanded.
"Well, in that episode, Ford wasn't gone yet, John had managed to find a girlfriend from another planet, but to your luck, she was an Ancient who had to leave the instant you found out. Rodney and Carson were the ones to figure it out."
"Anyone could have told you that."
"Okay wanna get personal, you were all once fooled in thinking that you went to Earth. Rodney, you finally got a date with that girl who took in your cat. You were wearing a shirt that said I'm with Genius and pointed up toward you. John had the ability to alter his reality." They were silent and looking at her like she was crazy.
"That's right," Anita finally said, "and Ronan got shot, Carson had to got to the planet and remove the bullet, I can't really remember who put it in him though, maybe Ford on another crazy attempt to get enzyme?"
"John you and Weir dated, yes, I know, everyone knows. It didn't work out. Teyla and Ronan are seeing each other. Ummm, I don't know, I wasn't into the show as much as them, I basically watched it to see...uhh...never mind. I'll just shut up now." Genna looked down in embarrassment.
"Everything they said is true right down to my shirt." Rodney said slowly.
"Well," Weir said sighing," Rodney, try and found out how they got here. John can you give them the tour? I'm a little busy and Teyla and Ronan are going off world."
"Sure." Everyone stood up. "Follow me ladies." he looked back.
"So, since you know about Atlantis, where do you want to go first?"
"We wanna see the gate!" Anita said excitedly.
"Okay, to the gate room."
Danielle stood in front of the gate thinking. Thinking about how, not ten hours earlier, they had been watching this on TV. About how it was real, in some other reality from her own. She had given it thought years ago, but gave it up. Suddenly the gate activated, bringing her out of her thoughts. They ran to side, out of the way. As she watched a team come through she realized that it wasn't a dream. This was really happening to them. They were on Atlantis.
