Thank you for your patience. I have four finals and I should be able to have them done by Tuesday. I hope you enjoy this chapter and that nothing really horrible happens to you.

Sheppard pulled the person down the corridor and into the light. It was Major Lorne and he smelled like lemons. John had Cadman and Zelenka grab his feet and they took him to the infirmary.

----

"How is he doing Doc?" Sheppard asked.

Carson sighed. He could see Rodney standing across the room. "He will be fine. I will keep him for a couple of days, and monitor him."

"That's good to hear Doc."

Carson sighed again. "Could you get rid of Rodney for me? He is driving me crazy. He thinks that all of the pranks are a ruse to kill him."

"Sure thing, Doc." Sheppard looked at Rodney and grinned. He picked up a shirt and got it wet. He did it low so that Rodney couldn't see what he was doing. He then walked up to Rodney who was backing up very fast, so fast in fact that he tripped over his own feet. He then jumped to his feet and ran from the room.

Carson smiled. "Thank you Colonel. I don't know what is wrong with that boy, but he is getting worse."

"I know, but he hasn't eaten in at least twenty minutes!"

Carson started laughing. "Thank you Colonel. I needed that."

"How are you feeling Doc?"

I feel better, but that hurt and it was against the rules." Carson watched Sheppard carefully.

John looked at the floor. "I know. I told him not too, but I guess he got a little excited."

"Remind him. I will keep you up to date on the major. Now go."

"Thanks Doc." John walked out the door and headed down the corridor.

As Sheppard walked down the corridor, he saw Ronon. As he caught up to Ronon, he waved at Sheppard, but didn't stop to talk. John watched as Ronon entered the infirmary. He stopped and waited to see how long he was inside and possibly what he was doing inside. For all Sheppard knew, Ronon was in on it all.

----

Ronon walked up to Lorne's bed. It was quiet. "Hey, you awake."

After a moment, Lorne's eyes opened. He looked around carefully. Carson was across the room checking something.

"How are you doing?"

"I've been better. Was that your idea?"

Ronon looked away. "I thought so," Lorne responded. "You do remember that we aren't supposed to prank each other?"

"Sorry, that was meant for someone else."

Lorne looked at Ronon. "He is allergic and that is really against the rules."

Ronon smiled. "He wasn't supposed to get that close. I just wanted something to throw him off."

Lorne grinned, and a nurse dropped a tray. They both looked in her direction. She blushed, picked up the stuff and left the room quickly.

Ronon nudged Lorne. "I think you have a fan."

Evan glared at Ronon. "Not as many as you have."

"If you aren't interested, can I have?"

Lorne hit him with his pillow just in time for Carson to come back. "And what do you think you're doing? He isn't allowed to have visitors yet. Or are you two…" he let the question trail off. Ronon took the opportunity to leave quickly. "You," he said looking at Lorne, "go back to sleep."

"Yes dear," Evan responded. Carson threw the pillow at Evan and left the room.

John walked away just before the door opened. He never would have thought that Ronon and Lorne to be involved. He hurried down the corridor away from Ronon. He had plans to make.
