[Finding his way to the dining hall, Rodney sits himself down at a random chair at the largest empty table he can find. For a minute he just sits there tapping his fingers on the table... thinking.

He's not tried this wishing thing yet. He's not really he's fully sure how it works, but if the Castle has already taken payment from him he's damn sure he's not going to waste it. And, he's a scientist after all. What good would he be if he didn't experiment.

With that he clears his throat and begins...]

I wish for ice cream sundae, make it caramel, no hot fudge and whip cream and a cherry. Or better yet, make the ice cream pistachio, hmmm or maybe Neapolitan would be better.

Better yet, a banana split with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, and ... not strawberry, um... how about chocolate chip?

Oh, now you know what would be good, chocolate chip cookie dough! It's been like forever since...

[Suddenly the table began filling with the different ice cream treats that Rodney mentioned and some he only had thought about but hadn't yet said.]

Uh, oops?! I think I may have gone a bit overboard. If anyone cares for some ice cream...

Someone has a healthy appetite. Or imagination.

A bit of both actually... But I think this time I may have wished more than I can eat.

Pistachio?

Gesundheit. [A pause, and a quick smile as he enters the dining hall further instead of leaning at the door.] That's kind of you, thank you, but I shall pass.

I think you've wished for more than what half of the castle can eat. Purely by accident, so it seems.

I'm sure that kind of thing happens. Run away wishes and all that.

Was much easier than I expected to be honest. In my experience, that's not a good thing.

You're quite right. One should always be careful what they wish for.

[Waving a finger at his ear and then holding out his hand for a shake,] I recognise your voice, I think. Dr. McKay, wasn't it?

[Rodney takes a bite of ice cream and nods.] So true!

Mmm, yes, that's me. And you... you are... [Snaps his fingers a couple of time trying to remember.] I'm terrible with names. The guy who wanted me to use honey instead of vinegar!

[DID SOMEONE SAY FOOD?

Sugar was already on her way to the dining hall, but when she sees the cold treats laid out on the table, the fairy zooms over to gasp and stare.]

Oh wow! So much ice cream!

[His eyebrows go up and he tilts his head to the side.] Really? Most find it memorable. The Doctor, and I'm glad to see you've taken my advice.

[Indicating the spread on the table next,] I think some of the children especially may appreciate the gesture.

[Rodney snaps his fingers again.] Yes that was it! I knew it was some form of title!

[Frowning he looks over the table, this so does not translate into honey!] Wait?! Did you say children? There are children in the Castle?!

[Rodney's eyes look up to see... he's not fully sure, he's never encountered a fairy before. Didn't think they actually existed.]

Yes uh, small wishing mishap. Help yourself.

I'm sorry, dude, but you did say free ice cream? Fuck yeah, I'm on that shit.

[Mildly,] Considering you claim to have the same I think I'm insulted that you'd forget.

Ahh... [Now this makes for an interesting point. Pulling out a chair he sits opposite, forearms on the table and casually looking over the piles of ice cream and finding himself tempted.] I thought you would know by now. Although, some of the children did sneak away on the expedition. And given recent events... [He pulls a face like he has a sour taste in his mouth at those recent events.]

The youngest child that I know of is approximately seven. Up until a few months ago there was a child here of around two years of age. The castle is quite indiscriminate.

[It's hard to mistake Sugar for anything but a fairy. Only a few inches tall and hovering with her wings, she looks exactly like your typical fairy. Well... except for that pink hair of hers.]

Oh boy! Thank you!

Now, let's see. Hmm... [What to choose? She floats in the air, surveying her options.]

[He recognizes that voice... And, only one person has called him 'dude' since he arrived. There's a smile to his tone when he speaks even though there's not one on his face.] I'm still not a dude!

Tucker, wasn't it?

[Rodney shrugs and waves it off.] Don't be insulted or take it personally. I forget everyone's name. Genius in science, terrible with the softer skills.

[Rodney frowns. He thinks he's missed something important but then he doesn't want to know. Really doesn't want to know. The look on the Doctor's face makes it clear that he does.not.want.to.know! Too late, curiousity is peaked.] What recent events?

Two? Seven?! Are you kidding me?! What the hell is are kids that age doing here? Let me guess, they're here on their own too. No parents to look after them so they are left to bother everyone else?!

[Rodney rubs his eyes with one hand.]

Wait, I think the ice cream is drugged! You look like a fairy with pink hair?!

If you gotta dick, you're a dude, dude.

[Heh heh. Sup Rodney? It's your favorite foul-mouthed Private.] The one and the same. How is life treating you, Rodney? And where's this ice cream?

Ice cream.

[A drawn out silence as he thinks.]

What is that?

[Sugar looks up, confused.]

Of course I do. That's because I am a fairy, silly!

What's drugged?

[Chell walks in ... and gawks. That is a LOT of ice cream. But she hears what he said, and wanders over, flopping down across the table from him and snagging a sundae.]

Thanks.

[She grins.]

The offer is very much appreciated my good man.

However I am watching my figure.

Really?! A fairy?! [He doesn't sound like he believes her but he looks closer and starts to sway.]

So were you born out of a babies first laugh then?

Drugged is when you ingest something that makes you see funny things. Like uh... Magic Mushrooms... Do you know what they are?

That's blatant. I'm afraid to ask what you call women!

I can't complain, well I can but you likely don't want to hear it!

[Rodney points to the spread on the table.] Apparently the wishing system is very precise.

Seriously? You don't know what ice cream is?! That's a crime.

Basically it's cream or milk with added sugar and flavouring, like fruits or chocolate, that's whipped while it freezes.

[Rodney smiles at Chell, impressed with her manners.]

You're very welcome!
