Disclaimer: I'm only going to say this once: I don't own any of the characters and I'm not making money off of doing this. This is simply for fun.
Note: Sorry! Again! I totally forgot about football season! So I changed the wedding day to February 22nd. So the superbowl will be done by then.

Present Day (December 4th, 2008):
"Don't get your panties all in a bunch, it's more than two months away! I Promise, Marie, I will be there." Jennifer Keller yells over the noisy crowd, her hand clapped over her ear as she talks to Marie Ko on her cellphone. "Look, I have to get back to the game. I'll call you later. Love you! Bye!"
Watching from the sidelines, Jennifer's eyes land on the Raiders' center. Ronon Dex. He just flipped one of the Chargers' players' over. Minutes have passed by and Jennifer notices that the player hasn't gotten up yet. She starts to run toward the center of the field.

The Raiders are on the offense. Ronon makes the call. He passes the ball to his quarterback, and then blocks two defensive tacklers flipping one of them over. Minutes pass and the quarterback loses the ball. Ronon notices that the player he flipped over hasn't gotten up yet. He takes off his helmet and kneels down to check on the man. "I need a medic!" He yells, not taking his eyes off him. "Dude, you're gonna be okay." He says reassuringly, as the Chargers' team doctor rush to the laying man's side.

"Joe! How many fingers am I holding up?" Jennifer asks.
As she's repeating the question, Ronon's head snaps towards the blonde head across from him. He can recognize her voice anywhere.
"Three." Joe says.
"Jennifer?!" Ronon asks incredulously. He can see her visibly stiffen.
"Get him inside." Jennifer yells over her shoulder "You're gonna be okay, Joe". Getting up from her position, she follows the men taking Joe off the field on a stretcher. She looks over her shoulder to find Ronon staring after her, his helmet in his hand.

Rooted to the spot, Ronon can't tear his eyes away from her. He doesn't hear the crowd. All he can hear is her voice. It's like everything is going in slow motion. He barely acknowledges one of his teammates clapping him on the back.
Flashback to a Friendly Football Game (April 2000):
"Hey big guy, you ok?" John asks Ronon as he's being checked by Dr. Lam. "That Genii linebacker really got you."
"I'm good." He says as he strains his neck trying to look around Johns padded shoulder, and then spotting her in the middle of the crowd. She comes to every game they've played since she moved here.
Turning around to look at where Ronon's staring, John smirks. Looking back at Ronon. "Dude, you really need to get this over with and ask her to the prom… but after the game." Turning to the doctor he asks her "Dr. Lam, so what's up? Will he be able to finish the game."
"Yes he'll be fine." She answers, then turning to Coach Cameron Mitchell, also her husband, she asks him. "I thought this was going to be a friendly game, coach?"
"It is." Coach Mitchell says defensively. "They need the practice. Besides, Coach Kolya is just pissed off that we won the homecoming game for the third time in a row."
Shaking her head she turns back to Ronon. "Just try your best not to dislocate your shoulder again, Ronon. Please." She pleads with him as she steps away.
"Ok! Thanks!" Clapping John on the back, he grabs his helmet and puts it on. "Come on, man, we need to wipe that fucking smile off of Ladon's face!" he yells as he runs towards the field.
Coach Cameron yells "Sheppard, watch Ronon's six!" Turning to the Assistant Coach Charles Kawalsky "I think the Genii are out to get him."
"I wouldn't be surprised. We haven't lost a single game since that kid transferred from Hawaii three years ago." Coach Kawalsky replies.

It was a great victory that Friday night. They won 20-17.
As the Pegasus team carried their quarterback, Bates, on their shoulders, Ronon ran towards the bleachers. Weaving through the crowd, and taking two steps at a time, he calls out her name. "Jennifer! Jennifer! Hold up!"
Turning around to the sound of his voice, she finds him standing one step below her making her almost the same height with him. "Hey, Ronon." She says quietly. "Congratulations, you looked great out there."
"Thanks!" He breathes out, panting heavily, one hand on his knee. "Where are you going? Aren't you coming to the championship party? It's gonna be at Johns."
"I can't. My dad's expecting me to be home by nine-thirty." She tells him as she looks down at her feet, hands in her pockets.
Ronon watches her shift nervously. She's wearing her hair in a ponytail again, her eyes hidden behind her bangs. He's noticed that her dad picks her up after the bell rings at school every Friday. But she comes to every football game riding her bike, already changed from her school uniform. Tonight she's wearing Capri khakis, a brown tanktop, with a light hoodie tied around her waist and Adidas sneakers. Stretching to his full height, he takes a hold of her wrist and lightly tugs on her arm. "I was wondering, uh…what I'm trying to say is…" He begins to say as he rakes his other hand through his dreads in frustration.
People are rushing past them, almost knocking Jennifer off her feet. Ronon then pulls her away from the crowd, setting her back against a chain link fence, as he leans one palm on it. The players and cheerleaders from the Genii team are on the other side, heading towards the locker room. A petite red-headed Genii cheerleader walks up to the fence. "Hey Ronon Dex! You played a good game. What do you say about a couple of beers and Athos Point?"
Jennifer blushes even more at the intrusion and invitation. Taking a deep frustrated breath, Ronon, looks at the red-head and gruffly say "What, Sora… have you gone through the whole Genii roster already?" Sora angrily kicks the fence causing Jennifer to stumble forward. Fortunately, Ronon's right in front of her to catch her.
Jennifer can feel his tension so she reassures him as she grabs the front of his jersey. "It's okay Ronon." .
Looking back at her, Ronon continues what he wanted to ask her. "I – Do you have a date yet - I mean to the prom? Coz I was thinking that maybe if you don't, then maybe you and I can…"
"No!"
TBC.
