I hope that you have been looking forwards to the next chapter. If you have here it goes, if you haven't here it is anyway. Sorry it has been so long since the last chapter.

I don't own Stargate: Atlantis. If I did we would have six or more seasons, not the five.

----

John took a deep breath and looked around the corner. Zelenka lay on the floor, with Chuck not far away. Both men were still suffering the effects of the laughing gas. Sheppard took a step closer. Radek waved at him and started laughing again.

John hurried down the corridor. He could hear someone coming, and as much as he liked Radek, he wasn't ready to be caught. Elizabeth had been calling for him for some time now and John had been ignoring her. By now she should have started a search party. He hurried down the hall and ducked into a storage room.

----

He could hear people walking around outside. They were there for what felt like forever. Just when he thought they would never leave, the corridor went silent. John stuck his head out. The corridor was empty. He slipped out and headed off. His job wasn't going to be as easy as he originally thought. He needed to catch the Prankster before all of the underlings were revealed by the Prankster.

----

Sheppard stopped. He could hear footsteps. John ducked around a corner as a pair of soldiers came down the corridor. He listened as they passed. John waited until they were out of sight and continued down the corridor. He didn't know what he was going to do, he just knew that he had to be quick about it. He also hoped that something came to him fast.

As he walked, he thought about who could be involved. As he thought, an idea came to him. He grinned and walked faster.

----

Sheppard looked around the corner into the infirmary. He could see people walking around. He needed to get in without getting caught. He hoped that he was right and that Radek wasn't involved. He slipped in the door. He stopped and ducked down as a nurse came in.

He watched as she checked Radek. Zelenka said something that John couldn't hear, but that the nurse smiled at. She said something in return and left. John took that moment to slip in and walked up to Zelenka's bed. He leaned over the bed.

"Radek." Nothing. "Radek, are you awake?"

Without opening his eyes, he responded. "Was that you who left the gas?"

John was embarrassed. "Yeah. I didn't know who would come and set it off."

"You left me on the floor. Why?" He opened his eyes after that. He looked tired to John, tired and sad. He picked up his glasses and put them on.

John looked at the floor. "Sorry about that. I wasn't sure who I could trust, and I wasn't ready to get caught."

Radek folded his arms and looked at Sheppard over his glasses. "And you feel like you can trust me now? Why?"

John looked around and rubbed his head. "I don't know, but you have always been willing to help me out, so I thought you deserved the same from me."

Radek smiled. "Ok, what do you need from me?"

John leaned closer. "This is what I have in mind." He laid his entire plan out for Radek, whose smile got bigger and bigger.

----

The two men walked quickly down the corridor, without speaking. After they reached the far end of the city, Radek looked down the corridor.

"No one is coming. You watch?"

John leaned against the wall and kept watch while Radek knelt and worked to circumvent the security lock. John was beginning to sweat when the door opened. Radek hurried in and John followed him. They moved away from the door and began to look. On at a time, they looked in all of the storage containers. When they could hear someone walking past, they would duck down behind a container. Just when John was about to abort the mission when Radek crowed with delight. John hurried to his side. He was pulling something out of the container.

"I have it Colonel. Where to now?" Radek looked excited. He was flushed and breathing rapidly.

"The mess hall." Sheppard replied. "You having fun?"

Radek looked at him strangely. "Why do you ask?"

John grinned. "You just look like you are having fun."

Radek grinned back. "I am having much fun. Sometimes I wish this would happen more often."

John's eyebrows raised. "Sometimes?"

Radek shrugged. "If it happens to often, it wouldn't be fun any more. It would get boring."

John nodded. "True, it would get monotonous."

John and Radek moved to the door. When the door opened, John looked into the corridor. It was clear. John stepped out, Radek followed close behind. They were headed out to catch a prankster. As they walked down the corridor, a pie flew out of now where. Just before it hit Radek, he moved to the side. John watched as it hit the wall. Because Radek hadn't been looking at the time, John wondered if the Czech had some training that he didn't know about. He resolved to find out.

Radek stood in the corridor, whistling. John stood just out of sight. As Elizabeth walked by, Radek stopped whistling. John nodded and followed.

After a few minutes, he realized that they were near Teyla's quarters. He stood at a distance and watched as Elizabeth hit the chime for Teyla's quarters. They door opened and she went in. John wondered what Elizabeth was doing in Teyla's quarters and why did Teyla just let her in. He looked up the corridor and saw Radek watching him. He waved at Radek to meet him down the corridor.

"What is going on?" Sheppard looked at Radek.

Radek looked up at him. "I don't know everything, but I do know a lot." He pushed his glasses up on his nose. "People tend to forget me, or worse," he looked away, "not even see me."

John felt ashamed. He wondered if he did that to him, or anyone. "Well," he started, "If I ever do that, hit me."

Radek looked at him, and smiled. "Thank you. I will keep that in mind." He straightened up. "Well, what now?"

John was about to speak when he heard Teyla's door open. They watched as Elizabeth left. Teyla was still standing in the door. "Let's go!" John said as he grabbed Radek's sleeve and they hurried down the corridor and pushed past Teyla.

"Hey!" Teyla said as they came in the room, "What do you think you are doing? I want you out, now!" She looked angry. She advanced on the two men. John thought Radek would back away, but to the scientists credit, he stood his ground.

"What did Elizabeth want?" John was frustrated. He wanted this all over.

At first she didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking, about what John could only guess. "She wanted to know why I wanted out. I told her that I wanted out because this was becoming very childish in my opinion, and I have had my fill."

John stood in silence and thought about what she said. It was getting to be a bit much. "I want this over too, but Elizabeth won't end it unless I can prove who is in charge before the prankster is revealed, and..."

Teyla seemed to read his mind. "And you were hoping that I would help you out?"

John looked down for a moment before looking up at her with what hoped was a hurt puppy look. "Would you?"

Teyla looked annoyed. "Give me one reason?"

That is when Radek spoke up. "We can end this faster with your help."

Teyla looked at the ceiling for a moment before responding. "I will help you with a few conditions."

John and Radek looked hopeful. Radek pushed his glasses up. "What are your conditions?"

John hoped he wouldn't have to sell his soul for the help. Teyla smiled. That wasn't good. John suddenly thought it wasn't such a good idea after and was about to say so when Teyla spoke.

"What I want, John Sheppard, is for you to watch all of my favorite movies with me."

John felt faint. Her favorite movies were Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail and other mushy Chick-flicks.

Radek grinned ear-to-ear. "Radek will have to come too. I will set him up."

Radek's smile fell off his face. He tugged at his shirt and swallowed deeply. He didn't look happy anymore. "I don't know about this. It has been few years since I have been on a date."

John felt sympathy for the scientist. That was a problem with some of the scientists. They got so wrapped up in their work that they forgot about things like dating.

"Don't worry, Radek. I will be there."

Radek didn't look like John's words helped at all.

"Do not worry Radek. I have the perfect person in mind and it has been some time since she has been on a date herself."

"See Radek. It will all be fine." John slapped him on the shoulder, and laughed.

"Hloupy blbec! Dostane za studenta show kazdy druhy den tydne. Potom uvidime, jestli jeste smeje." Radek said. He didn't look happy.

Teyla had a confused look on her face. John looked at him. "What did you say?"

"Nothing. Let me know when." He swept out of the room. "I will be in the hall way."

Teyla looked concerned. "I hope I did not scare him. She is very nice."

John shrugged. "He will be all right. What are we going to do?

Teyla smiled. "I will tell you where the next meeting is. You will do the rest."
