2 drabbles

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

I have an almost finished fic that features Canadian Maple Syrup. As Canadian Maple Syrup Day is February 6th, I'd like to post it on Thursday instead of today. In the mean time, here are two drabbles to be going on with.

“You topped last time,” accused John.

“I did not,” protested Rodney uncertainly. Had he?

“Yes, you did.”

“No I didn't.”

“Did.”

“Didn't.”

“Did.”

“Didn't.”

“Wait a minute. I'll tell you what. You can top this time,” offered John magnanimously.

“No, that's okay. You can.”

“I don't mind. You top.”

“No. You can.”

“But I want you to.”

“I insist. You top.”

“You top, please.”

“Fine, then, I'll top.” Rodney gave in.

Colonel Sheppard, Doctor McKay. Report to the gate room immediately.

They sighed. Interrupted again.



Later, Rodney checked his records. He had topped last time. John always tried to cheat.

Title: Trouble on Atlantis
Author: Mandy
Rating: G
Pairing: John & Rodney


The soft trilling filling the Mess stopped John and Rodney in their tracks.

Rodney looked closely at the fluffy ball being stroked by Simpson. Two nurses cooed over another pair. Chuck held a rather large black one. “No! No! No!” shouted Rodney. “Where did they come from?”

“Teldy's team brought them back. Cute, aren't they?” answered one of John's marines.

“We have to round them up and get them out of here,” said Rodney urgently.

“Why?” Half a dozen shared the table with the marines.

John and Rodney exchanged horrified looks. Didn't anybody else recognize tribbles when they saw them?
