After Genna took that crash course in How to Drive a Jumper 101 she decided to try her best against Teyla. This, however, was a bad idea. She had been training with her for over two months and she still couldn't get Teyla down. Teyla, on the other hand, had no problem knocking her over.

As he would possibly need her in the field, John had to be there for a few of the trainings. This made her even more on edge. Sure she managed to get a few shot in, but it was very embarrassing to have John see her get knocked on her respective ass.

"Don't worry so much about it," Teyla said as she picked Genna up off of the floor, again. "Colonel Sheppard was just as unskilled when he first started, and he's only slightly better now. Yesterday he managed to hit my arm twice."

"Hey," he yelled indignantly. "I'm much better than you give me credit for. I hit you three times."

Both of the women laughed. "Okay," Teyla put down her sticks. "I'm going to let you two spar for awhile. I'd like to see how this turns out. It might be fairer if you have a chance to hit your opponent." she threw a pair of the sticks at John.

Genna didn't really know what to do. Sure, she'd fight him. She just didn't want to hit him. They walked to the center of the room. They stood in first position. He threw a hit at her. She couldn't help but grin. It seemed that he had forgotten the first of hand to hand combat, or in this case stick to stick.

She blocked his blow and threw one just below his left arm. He managed to block it but this was a sign of war. If she wanted to fight, he'd fight. They started a wild frenzy of strikes and blocks. She dropped down on a knee and tried to knock his feet out from under him. He jumped up, but barely missed it. He landed with his feet slightly apart.

Finally, an opening for her. She distracted him by throwing a hit toward his head. She stuck her foot between his legs and jerked it left. He fell to the ground with a thud. Before he realized what had happened she had her knee on his chest and her sticks across his neck. He had to admit, she was good. Better than he thought she would be.

"I have to have you!" He said looking at her.

She blushed. "Okay John, but Teyla's still here" she tried to keep a straight face but it was extremely hard.

This time it was his turn to blush. "I meant for the backup team, maybe even for an off world team."

"Really? Do you think I could do that?"

"Hey, if McKay can do it, so can you."

She smiled. For her, it was all coming into place. She had a job to look forward to now. Thankfully it wasn't horrible, like Danielle's. Hell, she even got the rare chance to make the colonel blush. The days just kept getting better as they went by.
