A/N: Cookies to Reefgirl for giving me the bunny for the chapter title. Standard disclaimers apply. Review.
As she entered the lounge Max couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
They were finally going to have "the date".
Until now she and Evan had just been friends. Who know what this "date" could do to their friendship? There was that underlying fear that if the date didn't go well then things would be awkward between them or they wouldn't be friends any more.
So yea, no pressure.
"This seat taken?"
Max looked up to see Evan standing with popcorn, soda and a smile. "Nope."
"Good, so what movie are we watching?" Evan asked, sitting down and handing Max the popcorn and a soda.
" 'Swarmed'. I felt like a campy-B sci-fi movie."
"Haven't seen that one. What's it about?"
"Killer bees."
"Sounds fun."
"Oh it is." Max replied as she pressed 'play' on the remote and shifting so that she was closer to Evan.

"I don't get it." Evan said, pausing the movie.
"What don't you get?" Max asked, looking at him.
"Why he didn't notice that the "special" bug spray was missing and that the one bee that survived was the one killing everyone?" Evan said, putting his arm around her. "It doesn't make sense."
Max smiled, "It's not supposed to make sense. That's why it's so fun to watch."
Evan just shook his head and took a sip from his soda can. "I still don't get it."
Max took a handful of popcorn and tossed it at Evan, laughing. "You're hopeless."
Evan opened his mouth to reply but at that moment the Lantian alarm went off and he heard Sheppard calling him to the Control Room.
Jumping up, he ran out of the room and down the hallway towards a transporter.
He had no idea what was going on, but as he rounded the corner he caught a glimpse of Max running in the opposite direction so he knew that it wasn't something good.
