One Wrong Day Can Lead to Something Right-Chapter 1-Jello Gate
Same old disclaimer, I don't own anything except whatever doesn't belong to the Stargate franchise.
Synopsis: Ronon's search for a cure to his boredom leads to one really strange day involving one Miko Kusanagi, weights, and…green jello? Could this incident lead to something more for the ex-runner & the Japanese scientist?
Normally, I'm not big on talking, but there are some days where you just know that something's going to go wrong; unfortunately, today just happened to be one of those days and I thought that I should explain why. Now you're probably thinking that it was one of those "the Wraith are going to kill us, or at least try to and probably with a high percentage of getting close to said goal" days or one where it's some epic disaster that, to quote that Earth saying I heard one of the scientists say once, will have everyone running around like a chicken with its head cut off (that's that bird we had for dinner last week, right?). Sorry to disappoint, but today wasn't one of those days; it was just one where you know that something, anything, will go wrong.
I should probably start from the beginning. We hadn't gone on any missions for a while. No one captured, nothing being blown up, completely boring. I decided that I would go to the training room and maybe spar (the Marines call it a beating) with one of the new recruits we just got last month.
Before I could even get into the transporter near my room, I was intercepted by that little dark-haired scientist with the interesting eyes and glasses. I think her name's Kusanagi or something like that. Anyway, she stopped me and asked if I would help her with an experiment that she was conducting because it required strength that she, nor any of the other scientists, had. I said I'd help, since I didn't have anything better to do and followed the tiny woman into the transporter where she picked a spot on the map and in a moment we found ourselves in the science wing.
I followed her to one of the labs where another scientist that I don't know explained that they needed me to lift the weights that were resting next to the wall on to the box that was sitting a few feet away. Less than a minute after I had put the weights on top of the box, I felt something slimy fall on top of me. Looking at my shoulders, I saw that it was the dessert that they called jello. According to Miko (she told me to call her that), she had no idea that the other scientists had planned on "sliming" me with green jello.
An hour later, I had finally managed to get the slimy stuff out of my dreads and was heading to the mess hall for a snack. Miko stopped me again, this time just outside the mess hall, and began apologizing again for what her colleagues had planned. Before I could tell her to stop (I had no clue what she was saying since she kept going back to her native tongue), we heard a commotion inside and, when we looked in, were met with piles of the slimy dessert. Apparently, the scientists and soldiers were having another one of their infamous prank wars and I had been one of the first "casualties."
As we walked in, Miko slipped on some of the stuff. Before I could catch her from falling, I was amazed by the incredible grace of the flip she performed in order to stop herself from falling. When I asked her about it, she said that she had trained in some martial arts called Jujitsu and Judo and learned how to prevent herself from being taken advantage of in a fight.
Since the "Jello Gate" as a lot of the Earthlings have taken to calling what happened that day, I've decided that I need to get to know this scientist a little better, and maybe trade fighting styles with her. This could get very interesting.
So, this was originally a one shot, but it kind of got out of hand. And I realize that this might not sound like Ronon, but just think of this as all of the stuff that we never here him say out loud. So, please tell me what you think!
