Disclaimer: My mind is mine, poke at your own risk. Oh right, I own nothing of any real worth.
Author note/Summary: Spoilers for Echoes, and casting for S4. I don't think anyone really needs this warning. This fic is about the name of a certain whale, after the present commander (well at the time of this fic). This was originally submitted for a fic battle (prompt: A whale named), but I never posted it here plus it's changed it up a bit, I hope for the better.



"Okay Meredith"

His mouth was stuff with a sandwich as looked towards the direction of that... name.

"I told you, I prefer Rodney, or just McKay is fine too. Hey, I'm not even asking for Doctor McKay, kay?" He turned his attention back to his sandwich, munching on the piece of lettuce that had been sticking out on the side of the sandwich. Sheppard smirked, pretending to be working on his mission report.

"Doctor McKay..." Sam started off, mimicking how McKay had just said it -- with a dash of over-the-top sprinkled on top of it.

McKay ignored her, and tapped the tablet that he just picked up off his desk, "Sam, do you even read your email anymore? It's like none of my emails ever get though, like... ever"

A pause and then Sam spoke "Oh, right. I forgot to unmark you as spam," a smirk creased across her face.

"Ha-ha-ha, funny. I'm laughing" Rodney mocked, sounding horribly unimpressed by her remark.

"Well I am. Brilliant idea Sam! Why didn't I think of that?" Sheppard felt like he too should join in the fun, his mission report wasn't nearly as interesting... or fun,

McKay looked at the two. "Oh, Oh I see what you two are scheming!" His sandwich forgotten on his plate.

Sam and Sheppard exchanged smirks. McKay eyed Sheppard rather intently.

"What?"

"You know Sheppard, I... I have stuff,” Mckay said calmly, “on you that I can tell Sam"

"Oh, like what?"

Rodney blinked, "Like..."

"Sam! Did you know Rodney here, once named a whale after you," It was survival of the fittest.

"MC-KAY!"

"What? It wasn’t even a whale" McKay asked trying to sound as innocent as possible and he stressed the even, a lot.

"It was a male whale" Sheppard inserted with a rather wide grin.

Her face scrunched up, not knowing what to make of it. "Wait, you named a MALE whale after me?"

"Oh, no, no. No, of course not. Well. I mean I didn't know it was male until after I named... him. Though I admit I should have seen it coming since he did have a very prominent..."

"McKay, just don't go any further." Sam almost screamed it, surprising even herself.

"Well, Sam's a boy's name, too." Sam just glared at him. “And,” his voice shuddered slightly trying to think up what next to say “Sam saved our lives, warning of an impending doom… so we could all escape”

“That’s nice…” Of all the things she found creepy about McKay, this could be equated to 'putting the cherry on the top'. Yeah that was the Rodney she knew from way back... But she could not help but to smile at this. It was for lack of a better word enjoyable to see the old Rodney McKay.

"Okay. Well I have the schematics you asked for." He tapped on the tablet a few times.

Sheppard had been playing around with his laptop all this time. He turned the screen to facing his commanding officer. "Sam, meet Sam”

"John, I thought you found it creepy!" McKay exclaimed.

"Oh no, not when so much damage can be done," and all is right in the universe when Dr. Rodney Meredith McKay is rendered speechless.

All was right in this universe,  she whispered, as she left the two alone in their antics,
