Of Physicists and Flyboys

I don't own SGA or SG-1. I think we all know this by now.

Rodney spread out over the waves, sighing in relaxation. Sheppard was nearby, body surfing. "Oh shit!" he suddenly cried. Rodney barely had time to react before he was bowled over by a scrawny, soaking wet colonel. A wave washed over both, dunking Rodney under and pulling the little raft from under him. When the men finally managed to get back above the water, Sheppard was laughing his spiky head off and Rodney was seething.

"Why can't you go body surf somewhere else?" he screeched.

Sheppard winced, as McKay was right next to his ear. "I like it here." he protested, watching the scientist's livid face. That's when McKay lost it. Letting out an inhuman scream, he lunged at Sheppard.

Shocked, startled, and a bit frightened, John didn't have time to react. Rodney tackled him, forcing him under the water. Rodney's hand found Sheppard's hair and used it to keep a firm grip. It was war.

Swinging up a leg, the colonel whacked Rodney in the shin with it. "OW!" the physicist cried, loosening his grip. Giggling like a young boy, Sheppard tackled Rodney back until the two were rolling around, splashing, and disturbing pretty much everyone at the beach. Carson pulled off his sunglasses, sighing. He turned toward Elizabeth, who rubbed her forehead.

"Why must they be so immature?"

"Aye. Ye can say that again."

Grabbing a fistful of wet, muddy sand, Rodney rubbed it in Sheppard's hair. "Ah, Rodney!" groaned Sheppard, swatting at his attacker's hands. Thinking quickly, splashed violently in McKay's direction.

"Ow, the salt! It burns!" said Rodney, rubbing his eyes. Sheppard took the opportunity to run for it. Shaking the sand out of his hair, he ran and swam as fast he could. Panting, he finally reached the spot where Carson was sitting, a slightly amused smile on the Scot's face.

Rodney composed himself and realized Sheppard had run. "Dammit!" he hissed. He clutched at the raft and slowly made his way back to the shore.

Heh. For some reason, I don't really like the way this chapter turned out. Shep and Rodney were kind of out of character.
