Of Jellyfish and Space Travelers

Break It Up

"Hi!"

Jonas received nothing but an uninviting growl. He paused, pressing a finger to his lips. Jonas was always friendly, and he sort of assumed others would be friendly to him back. Except for the Goa'uld of course, they were just plain rude.

"Ronon, right?"

"What's it to you?"

"Wanna be friends?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Well, we aliens have to stick together, right?"

Teal'c walked by and did a really fantastic eyebrow raise. "Are you once again suggesting an alien conspiracy, Jonas Quinn?"

"No! Of course not!"

"I think he was. We should beat him up."

"What? WHY?" Jonas began to cry, showering everyone with tears.

Jack then happened to walk up, and froze upon seeing Jonas. "I'm not here…" he whispered to Teal'c, backing away. Too late.

"Jaaaaaaaack!" Jonas cried, making a beeline for the colonel.

"Oh...NO." Jack ran for it. He ducked behind seventh graders, slipped past pool hands, threw picnic baskets behind him, and even tried throwing a few papayas in the Kelownan's path. However, he was soon trapped in front of a wall. There was no escape.

Jack shivered, turning around as Jonas's shadow appeared over him. He felt around the wall for exits. "Jonas…don't do this…"

Jonas just kept crying and flapping his hands.

O'Neill winced as he came closer.

Then Jack sighed angrily as Jonas threw his arms around his neck and sobbed into it. "They're making fun of me!"

Jack tried to pry Jonas off him. "Not…my…problem."

Jonas squeezed tighter and Jack coughed, air supply being cut off. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"God, Jonas…stop…!"

"Uh…I'm not interrupting something am I?" asked Sam innocently.

"Carter! Get… him…off!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Finally, Sam and Jack managed to pry Jonas's arms from the colonel's neck. The Kelownan then stuck to Sam, sort of like an octopus.

"SAM! They're gonna beat me up!"

"What?" Sam cooed, cradling the little Jonas in her arms. "Who?"

Jack rolled his eyes.

"R-ronon and T-T-Teal'c."

Jack approached Teal'c a few minutes later, arms crossed. O'Neill had Jonas in tow behind him, the Kelownan holding onto Jack's t-shirt for dear life. He took Jonas by the shoulders and stood him in front of the two larger aliens.

"T? Can you explain this?"

"I am sorry, Jonas Quinn. I did not mean to upset you."

Ronon stayed silent.

"And you?"

"I didn't do anything."

Jonas scowled. BAM! Ronon staggered back and fell. Jack's jaw slid open. Sam dropped the drink she was holding. "Whoa."

Jonas Quinn had just knocked out Ronon Dex. Teal'c raised an eyebrow.

Jack began inching away from the scene.

"Sir, why were you running?" asked Jonas quietly. Everyone eyed the colonel, except Ronon, who was unconscious.

Jack took off. Again.
