sucker for punishment

Leave character and one-word prompt for ficlet. Ficlet will be at least 100 words but prob'ly not over 500.

Check the comments before leaving your prompts. If there are still two 'active' prompts for a character (ie. I haven't yet written the ficlet) then pick someone else.

Will try to be humourous, but am feeling distinctly blah, so cannot guarantee frivolity.

ETA:
Rodney: cheddar, Seattle
Ronon: retrieve, haircut, ballroom dancing
John: high heels
Michael: decades
Elizabeth: headache
Teyla: hickey, peace

Okay this has probably been done:

Sheppard/high heels

*coughs* You've been reading my mind, haven't you?

I had an idea for this just a few days ago...

--

"Why couldn't Elizabeth have done this?" John demanded as his balance once again deserted him and his wobbles nearly landed him on his butt. Without Teyla there to steady him, he'd have stumbled into the new-mown hay.

Beneath his arm Teyla's answer bubbled with repressed laughter. "Because on Manavor, women do not wear heels."

"Yeah. That." At this moment, John felt like he could do with a beer.

John had done his stint of cross-dressing at the Academy - a brief, drunken flirtation with a skirt and camisole belonging to one of the female cadets, fishnets and a pair of black stilettos hauled out of some bizarre deep-storage locker that featured in tales of strippers sneaked onto the Academy grounds and leaving various items of clothing behind.

According to Jimmy Addison (Lt. Col. rtd.), he'd never make a good-looking woman.

According to John Sheppard (Lt. Col.), he never wanted to be a woman - good-looking or otherwise.

At least he was allowed to keep his trousers. God knows what he'd have done if he'd had to dress up in a skirt and blouse - or something else like it. The heels were bad enough.

Rodney and Ronon were, thankfully, hovering over the only-half-depleted ZPM which they were attempting to persuade the Manavorians to give up. Hence the heels. Apparently, on Manavor, women did not act as spokesperson for their culture, either. And while Teyla assured him that the Manavorians made an impressive stout ale, spokespeople for their culture didn't get to drink until after the negotiations were done.

Which, really, left John high and dry.

High heels? LOL! Shouldn't all the men have had to wear them? ;-)

THANKS SO MUCH - IT WAS PERFECT...LOL. I was hoping for a little Teyla thrown in there(you read my mind) 8-). Anyway, really loved the play on words in that last line...John's really gonna need that stout ale - LOL.

Thanks again
