Word Count: 446

Summary: Sheppard's a little mad when he wakes up.
Author's Note: I'm happy to report the incredibly awesome news that I WON!!!  I can't stop bouncing at the news and can't quite believe I took first place!!!  :)


“This was not my fault. I couldn’t have known it was mislabeled in the database. I refuse to take the blame for this. There’s no way I could have known what would happen. None. Whatsoever. You have to tell him that, Teyla. He’ll listen to you. This was in no way shape or form my fault, right?”

“Of course it was not, Rodney. I am sure Colonel Sheppard will not blame you.”

“He might kill you though.”

“Do not listen to Ronon, Rodney. It was an honest mistake that anyone could have made.”

“Yes, yes, it was an honest mistake, but with what some might consider extremely horrible and life altering consequences, but not for me of course. Oh no, all I got was the privilege of standing there and watching as flames, flames shot out and barbecued him!”

“The doc said Sheppard would be fine.”

“Yes, Doctor Keller seemed certain when she explained to us that the burns to his face were quite minor.”

“His face? You think it’s his face I’m worried about? I mean, yes, it’d be truly terrible if the Colonel ended up scarred for life or something, and obviously I don’t want anything to happen to his eyes, because can you imagine that man if he was told he couldn’t fly anymore? Or fight for that matter? Although, the idea of being able to get out of paperwork would probably appeal to him, but that’s not what I meant. This is Colonel Sheppard we’re talking about here. Have you looked at him lately? Didn’t you see what that fire did to him?”

“Hmmm? R’dny? Wha’s goin’ on?”

“Colonel? You are awake, that is wonderful. Ronon and I will go find the doctor while Rodney explains what has happened.”

“M’ face hurts.”

“Yes, well, that’s what happens when you get up close and personal with fire, Colonel. Now, remember, I told you I wasn’t one hundred percent sure what the device was used for before I had you activate it and no matter what anyone else might say you look fine, just some first degree burns and nothing was more than a little bit of singed....”

“Singed.... Wha’ was singed, Rodney?”

“It’s barely noticeable. I swear. Jennifer only had to cut an inch or two, well maybe three, off. It looks fine. Honest.”

“Inches? What? Tell me you didn’t....”

“It’s fine. Really. What is it with you and your obsession with your hair anyway? Besides, aren’t you military types supposed to have a crewcut? Regulations and all that. Sheppard? It’ll grow back, in no time flat, really. And it looks good like that, different, but... Hey! Let go! Jennifer? HELP!!

Yes! And we've got the assignment for round 2: 300 - 500 words again, at least two characters must have H/C but an o.c. has to be the POV *puts on thinky cap*
