isiscolo Author’s Notes: This is a remix of the 12th ficlet on the page, the one that begins Rodney felt so cold. In the original: “Each drabble had to use one sentence or phrase from any of the other drabbles in the tree. The sentence I used in each one is in bold” so I kept that.
Stargate Atlantis: Iced (The Competitive Remix)
Rodney burst in from the plaza. “Major! You’ve got to see this!” He grabbed John’s arm, but Rodney felt so cold that John shook him off immediately.
“Hold your horses, McKay. I thought we were having an ice storm.”
“Had,” said Rodney triumphantly. “Now, we have an ice rink.”
“Oh,” said John. “Great.”
“Don’t you see what this means?”
“Disney on Ice is coming to Atlantis?”
Rodney rolled his eyes. “Think hockey.”
“Hockey,” said John thoughtfully. “Wouldn’t you need skates?”
“On it!” Rodney wagged his finger at him. “I’ve already manufactured blades. Just got to figure out how to fasten them to our boots.”
“Hockey sticks?”
“An Athosian woodcrafter’s making them.”
“I could swipe you a mess hall biscuit to use as a hockey puck.”
“Not a bad idea,” said Rodney. “But we’ve got that covered. Although now that you mention it, I was hoping you’d help.”
“Help, how?”
“You play, right?”
Warily, John nodded.
“Excellent! You are now captain of the military team. You’ll play my scientists.”
“A bunch of overweight lab jockeys against trained soldiers? We’ll clean your clocks, Rodney.”
“Which team has more Russians, Czechs and Canadians?” Rodney’s grin was pure evil. “First game’s in four days.”
