IM Conversation turned... Fic?

[skroberts]

After my not-so-great day yesterday, stoopbeck helped cheer me up. How? Talking about a certain someone with pink hair!


Pretty in Pink

Sarah: *randomly thinks of Sheppard with pink hair*
Alex: I almost wish he would dye it. Just for the look Roadie'd have on her face.
Sarah: And it's kinda sexy. If it were a really BRIGHT pink.
Alex: Heck. Yeah.
Alex: Hehe. It'd be funny if someone dyed it in his sleep. But he'd have to be sleeping pretty darn hard.
Sarah: Eh, but he's military... he's probably a light sleeper.
Sarah: But it would be funny. :D
Alex: It so would.
Alex: Well, if they got Carson in on it...
Alex: He's probably got lots of stuff that would make John very very sleepy...
Sarah: Like QVC...
Alex: Hehe.
Alex: And John wakes up the next morning, and goes to a staff meeting, unsuspecting...
Sarah: Because why would he need to look in a mirror? It looks the same whether he brushes it or just lets it be right out of bed...
Alex: Exactly! And while he's on his way, he hears all the people around him giggling, but he ignores it, figuring he just has crazy bed hair or something...
Sarah: Or they are fangirls...
Alex: Hehe. Definitely fangirls then. And as the door opens, everyone in the meeting [he's a few seconds late] looks at him... identical looks of shock frozen on their faces...
Sarah: Sheppard: "What?!"
Alex: Weir: "Umm. Major. Good... morning."
Sarah: Sheppard, whispering to McKay: "Do I have something in my teeth?"
Sarah: McKay: "Not... in your teeth..."
Alex: (Ford loses it and bolts for the door.)
Sarah: (...to get his video camera)
Alex: Sheppard: "What's wrong with him?"
Sarah: Carson: "Maybeh he saw a wee spider?"
Alex: Meanwhile, Ford runs into Zelenka. Ford, slightly out of breath: "Major... pink... gotta see it... meeting" Zelenka decides to head on over, just in case something's up.
Alex: Meanwhile, Teyla's unable to look away. She just keeps staring. And staring.
Alex: Carson: "Oh, aye, most likely a spider."
Sarah: Zelenka walks in: "Does anyone know what is wrong with Lt. Ford? He just ran into me and... Hospodin, jeden ohromný karafiát ježek! {Lord, a monstrous pink hedgehog!}"
Alex: Sheppard by this time is getting more and more worried. He goes to mess with his hair, just in case there does happen to be a wee spider anywhere near his head. As he brushes against his bangs with his hand, Rodney makes a *snerk* sound.
Sarah: Sheppard: "Are you all on the special crack?!"
Sarah: Weir: "Um, Major. Have you looked in the mirror this morning?"
Sarah: Sheppard: "Uh, no. I was late, so I hurried... why?!"
Alex: Carson: "Oh, no reason. So... on with the meeting now, right?"
Alex: Just then, Ford rushes in, camera on, with about half the science department behind him. "Am I too late? Did I miss it?"
Sarah: Sheppard: "No, we're about to start the meeting. And what's with the camera and scientists?! It doesn't take that many people to kill a spider. Geez, I though I was the only one with a serious bug phobia..."
Sarah: (the fangirls/scientist giggle-snort the whole time)
Alex: Carson: "Well, you know, John, this is a verrah big spider."
Alex: Zelenka: *snorts*
Sarah: Sheppard: They really are on the special crack!
Alex: Ford: "Oh, yes, sir, they are. Now could you turn a little to the right?"
Sarah: Sheppard was thinking that, not saying that. He freaks out that Ford is now a mind-reader!
Alex: [Oops.]
Sarah: Ford, at Shep's dismayed face: "I was talking about the spiders, sir. There are two of them!"
Alex: Carson: "Two great big ones!"
Sarah: Sheppard: "Come on, guys, are we going to have a meeting or are we going to flail around about spiders?!"
Alex: Weir: (clearing her throat) "All right then. To business. Teyla? How do the Athosians on the mainland feel about what's been happening recently?"
Alex: Teyla: "But how would they know about--" (she is kicked under the table) "...the Wraith?'
Sarah: McKay: "They just do. I'm sure they're... pink in the face about it all."
Alex: Carson: "In fact, I bet they're tickled pink that they have our support."
Sarah: *Sheppard narrows eyes at them*
Alex: *Ford continues filming*
Alex: Zelenka: "In fact, they might just be pink with envy when they find out..."
Alex: Rodney whispers "Green. Green with envy."
Alex: Zelenka: "But it is not green."
Sarah: Sheppard: "Huh?"
Alex: Carson: "He's Czech, you know."
Sarah: Sheppard: *stands up* "All right. Either someone put something in your muffins this morning or there's a joke I'm not in on. Spill it."
Sarah: *pssst to Alex... I have a fun ending*
Alex: *waits to see fun ending!*
Sarah: Weir: "Major, look in the mirror. Please."
Sarah: Ford whips one out, because he 'just so happens to have one.'
Alex: (but of course.)
Sarah: Sheppard: *looks*
Sarah: Sheppard: "Er... I look like... me."
Sarah: They all exchange glances.
Sarah: McKay: "Are you sure there's nothing... different about you?"
Alex: [Hee heee!]
Sarah: Sheppard: "Not that I can see... What am I supposed to be seeing?!"
Sarah: Teyla: "You hair. Is it not... different?"
Sarah: Sheppard: "Different how?"
Sarah: Sheppard: *baby seal face*
Alex: *giggle-snort*
Sarah: Everyone exchanges more glances.
Sarah: Carson: "Look again... Are ya sure ya canna see anything different?"
Sarah: Weir: "About the color?"
Sarah: Sheppard, distressed, looks again: "It looks... brown, like it always does!"
Sarah: Sheppard: "Now what's going on?!"
Alex: *snicker*
Sarah: McKay: "For Pete's sake, Major, you can't possibly NOT see it!"
Sarah: Sheppard: "See. WHAT?!"
Sarah: McKay: "PINK! You're hair is pink, for the love of God!"
Alex: *SNERK*
Sarah: Sheppard: *looks again quickly*
Sarah: Sheppard: "No it's not!"
Sarah: McKay: *exacerbated*
Sarah: Weir: "You really don't see it?"
Sarah: Sheppard: *tired of it all* "I see brown! Brown, brown, BROWN!"
Sarah: Carson: "Are you sure?!"
Sarah: Sheppard: "Of course I'm... well... not completely."
Sarah: McKay: "Huh?!"
Sarah: Sheppard: *forlorned look*
Sarah: Sheppard: "I... assume it's brown... I'm not really sure."
Sarah: Sheppard: *looks to floor*
Alex: [Aww.]
Sarah: Sheppard: "I've... been color-blind since I was born."
Alex: [EVEN MORE awww]
Sarah: Everyone else feels really bad.
Sarah: Most of the scientists have scurried away.
Sarah: Ford has lowered the camera.
Sarah: Carson: "Really? We did na know..."
Sarah: Sheppard: "Yeah, well..." *sigh*
Sarah: McKay: *looks at table, avoiding Sheppard's gaze*
Sarah: Sheppard: "Look, Doctor Weir, could this meeting wait? I'm suddenly not up to talking about creepy green people who suck your life out through their hands..."
Alex: *snicker!*
Sarah: Weir: "I think we can hold this off until later today..."
Sarah: Sheppard: *darts eyes around the room*
Sarah: Sheppard: *pushes passed Ford, who has turned off camera*
Sarah: McKay: "Well. That became not fun rather quickly."
Alex: (Hee!)
Sarah: Teyla: "What is the 'color-blind' that Major Sheppard spoke of?"
Sarah: Carson: "He canna see colors, Teyla. It comes in various degrees, but... wait."
Alex: *snicker*
Sarah: Carson: "Did he say 'creepy green people'?"
Sarah: They all exchange glances, because they're really good at that by this time.
Alex: (Heck yeah, they've gotten lots of practice)
Sarah: McKay: *bolts from chair to go after Sheppard*
Alex: *snerk*
Sarah: Making it out to the hallway, he sees a flash of pink at the end of the corridor.
Sarah: McKay: "Major!"
Sarah: Sheppard: *runs away*
Alex: (HEE!)
Sarah: McKay: "HEY! You-!!"
Sarah: McKay: *goes back to conference room*
Sarah: McKay: "I think we've been had..."
Sarah: Sheppard, somewhere: *laughing his butt off*

Backstory...

Alex: Awww.... I thought Carson dyed it.
Sarah: It could have been anyone. Okay, it was Carson and McKay.
Alex: Hehe. Okay.
Alex: That'll work.
Sarah: But Zelenka overheard them and warned Sheppard. The Shep just played along until... ;))
Alex: That makes it even better!


We're easily amused. Deal with it. :P
