MOAR COOKIES!
Ronon and John ver 2.0 finally showed up.
Rodney was very relived, but he hid it well. As usual.
"What the hell was taking so long? I can't believe you guys left me all alone on this strange planet with all these weird cookies who didn't appreciate my true genius. And also, this woman keeps eying me and she looks hungry. You have to get me out of here now!
John and Ronon took it in stride.
"Relax, McKay."

Then, an Ancient appeared!
Rodney panics: "OMG, JOHN! DO SOMETHING!"
John waves: "Err. Hi."
Rodney gets suspicious: "Is that Chaya? Dammit John! I told you to stay away from the hussy!"
John: *sigh*
Ronon and John hang out with Chaya the Ancient on the cooling rack because Rodney flounced off in a huff.
And also, he was already cool and there was really no room for him.
Thus endeth the cookie crack. For now.
