Of Jellyfish and Space Travelers

LOST

"Bloody hell. I'm not equipped for this at all!"

"Oh, come on Doc. I don't think any of us are." muttered Sheppard. The pilot turned and scanned the island. Lorne was sitting near them, tuning his guitar, the hood of his jacket pulled up over his head.

"So, what's goin' on? Have we found a way off yet?"

Ronon sat farther off, sharpening a knife. He had a close eye on Elizabeth and Teyla, who were talking quietly to each other while helping to gather useful objects on the beach. Rodney was wandering around, going through suitcases from the broken jumper.

"Oh, god, I need food." he groaned. Beckett turned around, not that sympathetic.

"Look, we've got to find a way off this island. I need someone to help me locate survivors and find medical supplies."

"Don't look at me, Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes-Saint." scoffed Sheppard, examining a necklace he'd just found in the sand. Suddenly, a man ran out of the jungle, screaming.

"Who the hell is that?" yelped Lorne, shuffling over to where Carson and Sheppard were standing. Rodney screamed and ran for cover.

"Who are you?" the man demanded breathlessly. He was soon followed by Ronon, who was wearing a look of grim satisfaction.

"What did you do?" asked Sheppard.

Ronon shrugged. "Found a hatch. Ripped it open. Found him." Ronon motioned toward Zelenka, who was babbling something in Czech.

"I'm not alone!" he cried. "HALLELUJAH!"

"None of us are alone." said Ford (who appears out of nowhere because the author can't think of another character suitable for representing Sayid).

"How do you know?"

"Because I heard them in the woods, when I was being held captive by a sexy alien."

"See? Even HE gets to be captured by the sexy alien!" Rodney yelled out of nowhere. Everyone stared at him. "Er…right. Sorry. I'll just go…look for food."

"Okay. So…Lorne. Go with Ronon. And…"

"Whoa. Wait."

"What?"

"I think this is kind of stupid."

"What is?"

"Re-enacting Lost."

Sheppard blinked. "Hey! Hoodie! Don't question me."

Lorne scoffed and hugged his guitar. Ronon suddenly walked back toward the group, carrying a wraith he'd found in the jungle. "Look! I found one."

"One of what?"

"Don't talk to me." said Ronon to Ford.

Carson reached into his pocket, surprised to find a power bar there. Rodney, about 100 yards away, spotted it instantly. "Hey! Doc! I need that food!" He started running over, clutching his chest and gasping. Sheppard stared at him, shaking his head. Zelenka laughed.

Carson sighed. "Didn't anyone tell you we have rations in the jumper?"

"Say what now?"

"We have rations in the jumper, man. Just don't look in the second compartment to the right…I, um, have something in there. It's a secret." Everyone turned to Lorne. "What?"

"Why didn't anyone tell me we had food here?" screeched Rodney, pointing around a finger accusingly. Sheppard shrugged.

Elizabeth and Teyla made their way over. "Um, guys? What are you doing?"

"Re-enacting Lost."

"That's so stupid. Besides, Lorne, Ford, and Zelenka aren't even here. How could you be talking to them?"

Everyone looked around, and remembered that they had used dead starfish to represent the missing members since none of them were actually there.

Sheppard shifted his feet. "Um…"

"I'm still hungry!" cut in Rodney.

I apologize sincerely to those who do not watch Lost, but this chapter is actually an old one I never posted.
