Snow

It was snowing in Atlantis. The towers and turrets were covered in a thick layer of it and SGA:1 was using it to their advantage. They had cornered off one of the balconies in the South pier and had just finished randomly placing old tables, chairs and other pieces of junk upon it. It had never snowed on Athos so Teyla was completely new to the new feelings that snow brought. After having a scoop of snow shoved down the back of her jacket she was wearier however, and John's knee was now hurting slightly from where she kicked it. It was soon time for the snowball fight, Rodney and Teyla versus John and Ronon. Something told John that the only reason Teyla was with Rodney was for vengeance, so he kept a close eye on her for as long as he could.

As soon as the game was underway John realised that both himself and Ronon were at a severe disadvantage; their height made it slightly more difficult to hide behind the obstacles. Not even their combined military training helped them much, they were large sitting ducks.

John rolled to the left; narrowly avoiding a snowball sent his way by Rodney and landed in a heap by one of the balconies walls. Quickly he gathered a bunch of snow, crushed it into a ball and after a quick peak around his defensive table sent the snowball straight for Rodney. He waited for the yelp as the snowball struck but it never came, he had missed!

Neither team got many shots into the other and so soon both groups were tiring. Teyla moved quickly round the side of the row of tables that she had set up earlier whilst Rodney distracted John and Ronon; she was going in for the kill. Soon she had looped round the back of John and quietly scooped snow into a bucket. Keeping low she snuck closer to him until she was within arms reach. She tipped the bucket over his head and he ended up looking like a snowman, a very tall, messy haired snowman.

The next thing Teyla knew she was on her back with John straddling her, a grin on his face.

"Hello there Teyla!" He said joyfully. "So how have you enjoyed the snowball fight?"

Teyla grinned back. "It has been marvellous; I hope it snows again soon."

"Same here." He replied, looking down at her face, cheeks flushed from the cold.

As the snow nearby crunched both looked up only to see Rodney holding a small plant over their heads.

"Rodney, explain." John said staring at the Chief Scientist.

"It's Mistletoe." Rodney replied.

"It's not Christmas, Rodney." John said, amusement evident in his voice.

Rodney smiled as Ronon walked over.

"That's not the point; it's the thought that counts, and the snow."

John sighed and looked down at Teyla who had been introduced to Mistletoe, or at least a mistletoe substitute, the first Christmas they had spent in Atlantis. She was blushing a deep red but did not pull away as John, who was still straddling her, leant in for a kiss. In fact she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer before flipping them over so that she was on top. A gentle cough bought them back to reality.

"I hope it snows again soon." John said huskily.

"Same here." Was Teyla's breathless reply.
