A/N: Squee! Happiness is I! Two of my five comedy idols have commented on this! Reefgirl and Elizabeth Barlett! Which, btw, everyone should read their Sue Fics. Reefgirl's is 'Cooking with a Blue Mary Sue' and Elizabeth Barlett's is 'Not Your Average Teaching Job'. Thank you Shinigami04, Reefgirl, Alby, and Elizabeth Barlett for reviewing. Elizabeth and Alby get cookies for guessing the songs right. The 1st one was 'We Use To be Friends' by the Danny Warhol's (note that is the 'Veronica Mars' Theme song), then the RHCP's 'Dani California', a random Green Day song, then finally 'She Is' by the Fray (really good song!) On with the chapter then!

Chapter 3

It turned out that she wouldn't meet Dr. McKay for at least three to four days. Around 5 in the morning on her second day of being Atlantis, her laptop began to play the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' theme song, telling her that she had mail. She nearly fell out of her bed, not use to the fact that neither side was pushed up against a wall. After peeling herself off the floor, she tripped over to the computer, wishing it was a little brighter so she could see. Atlantis responded and turned up the lights, just at the level she had wanted, so she wouldn't go blind.

That freaked her out a little, but she pushed it out of her mind so she could check the wake-up call email. She actually two emails. One from Weir and one from Miko. She started with Miko's.

To: Dr. Chelsea McCay

From: Dr. Miko Kusanagi

Hello

Hello Chelsea- kun. I probably will not see you till you come back, but I wish you much luck when you go off world. You are also finding out that your email alarm didn't go off as soon as my message came. I set it up for you that it would not go off until 5:30, or a department head emailed you. I find it helpful on mine, so I set it up on yours. If you want me to take it off just reply back.

Miko

RE: Hello

Thanks, for setting it up. This way I might even get some sleep. Yeah right.

She then read Weir's email. It being the one that set her alarm off.

To: All New Members of Atlantis

From: Dr. Elizabeth Weir

Welcome to Atlantis

Welcome to Atlantis. I hope that your first night here has been enjoyable, but due security reasons all new members of the Atlantis mission (weather it be military or civilian) must take an introduction course that will be leaving at 0700 hours today. You should be wearing the appropriate clothing items that were left in your rooms, and pack a bag for a few days. Also note that if you have not visited the infirmary yet, please due so soon. Dr. Beckett will give the ATA gene therapy if you do not have it already. If you have had the therapy, you will notice that you can control certain aspects of the city mentally including your room lights. In your introduction course the therapy will be tested to see how much it has worked.

Dr. Elizabeth Weir.

Chelsea's mouth dropped. The ATA gene? She looked around her room. Lights on? She thought. The lights brightened. Her eyes widened. Lights off? The lights dimmed. Sweet, she thought to herself. She deleted Weir's email, to find that Miko had replied.

She set down the computer and got dressed for the day and packed. The computer beeped at her again. It was Miko

RE:RE:RE:RE: Hello

That is very good. I have found that having the gene works in ones favor. I have it naturally. Would you like to eat breakfast together in about 15-20 minutes? I am almost done here.

Chelsea packed up her stuff together, grabbed her laptop and headed to the cafeteria.

She arrived to see a very tired looking Miko, sitting in front of two trays of food and a mug of coffee. But she smiled when McCay walked up to her. Chelsea sat down across from Miko, pulling out her 'Wormhole Extreme!' mug. Miko pushed on of the trays to Chelsea. It had cereal and juice on it. Chelsea didn't wrinkle her nose but she was tempted too. Miko had a rice bowl and some other Japanese looking dish on her's.

"Swap you?" Chelsea asked.

"My rice for your cereal?"

Chelsea smiled. "Yes please." They swapped both looking a little happier.

"You like to eat rice for breakfast McCay-san?"

"Hell yes. When I was younger I was force feed oatmeal for years. I hate oatmeal. So I tried rice instead, it's the same grain stuff that I need, just with out the gross texture." Miko laughed. "So you and sugar cereals then?"

"Its something I have picked up here, Alex tells me it's not all that good for me, but then it's so good how can it be bad?"

Chelsea cocked her head. "Who's Alex?"

Miko slurped some of her milk from the cereal. "She's the head cook here. A no chemicals kind of person. She nearly had a fit when she found out what was in the energy bars. She is a very nice woman, from Britain I think."

Chelsea nodded, and picked up her coffee cup to find it was still clean and that she hadn't even put coffee in it yet. She showed it to Miko and she pointed to the direction of the pot. She took Miko's near empty cup and took a stiff.

"Just a packet of Sweet-In-Low?" Chelsea asked. Miko looked impressed and nodded, mouth still full of cereal.

Chelsea brought back both cups filled up with the black liquid. The both of them took big gulps of the liquid.

"So, McCay- san, where did you develop your amazing sense of smell?"

Chelsea smiled. "Well one I was an only child, and two that is what my dad drunk." Miko snorted.

" I have three other brothers and the only girl, but I am the only one with a degree past a bachelors."

"Yeah, I have a younger cousin that I am close to. She's a riot, I'm the scientist genius of the family, but she is the free artist, film producer, anime freak. All the things that I can do on a computer are all do to her."

"That is very good. I think that family is very important. I hope that I can have a large family one day."

Chelsea smiled, and took another gulp from her coffee, and looked at her watch. It read 6:30.

"Shit… Hey Miko I have to go soon. I'll talk to you once I get back kay?" Miko nodded.

"Good Luck."

A/N2: Sawy long update. 'Alex' is Reefgirl's, from her Sue fic that I mentioned in the beginning. You should read both. Like most of the writer's here though, I'm a review whore so leave a review right? Thanks.
