“Ooh, somebody has a crush...” a familiar voice whispered just loud enough for her to hear.

The scientist shook her head, letting the unruly strands escaping her ponytail hang down and frame her face. “Please,” she protested. “He’s so not my type. Military moron who would rather blow shit up than learn how it works and, you know, maybe see if it has an actual practical application.”

Sheppard sat down next to her at the lunch table, making sure to get a good view of the offending Marine. “Okay, first of all, I’m military and am debating whether or not I should take offense at that remark. Secondly, he’s a demolitions expert, it’s his job to blow shit up. Thirdly, are you going to eat that cookie?”

Blue eyes rolled towards the Air Force officer. “A: you don’t count, B: details, and C: of course I am, it’s chocolate chip.” Fitting actions to words, she picked up the treat and moved to take a large bite. Halfway to her mouth, she paused and sighed. “Puppy dog eyes? Really? That’s pretty pathetic, even for you.”

Hazel eyes batted once, twice, and then lit up in glee as half of the chocolatey treat was handed over. “You’re the best!”

“Yes, yes, I know,” came the cheeky response. “You do know I only gave you that because I have to spend the next four hours in a Jumper with you and your PMS, right?”

“I do not have PMS,” Sheppard swore. She looked down at her tray, covered with more salty and sugary treats than was probably healthy for a standard meal. Shrugging internally at the incriminating evidence, she continued, “I never have PMS. It’s just an amazing coincidence that other people get incredibly crabby and sensitive around me at the same time every month.”

McKay snorted less than delicately. “Do you think it might have to do with the fact you look like you’re going to shoot them for not bringing you coffee?”

“I do not!” Sheppard protested.

It might have been more believable if Lorne had not chose that moment to deposit a steaming cup in front of her, declaring, “There you go, ma’am. Sergeant Lewski brewed a fresh pot just for you!”

“This proves nothing!” Jill insisted to a snickering Mer. Turning to her second in command, she asked, “Are you only being nice to me because you think I have PMS?”

Lorne shook her dark head emphatically, eyes wide. “No, ma’am, I would never think to presume such a thing,” she protested. Jill smiled victoriously, right up until the Major produced a miniature jug from behind her back. “Cream? It was just milked on the mainland this morning.”

“I hate you all,” Jill sighed.
