AN: I'd like to thank all of you for sticking with this story up until the end! It was your reviews that made me abandon my school work and force myself to come up with more rules; that's all an author can ask for! This, however, is the last chapter, because I don't think there's much left for me to work with. I hope you'll enjoy the tenth and last chapter!
Rules Rule
181) You are not to skip your sessions with Dr. Heightmeyer.
a. John Sheppard.
(Fine, but if she ever says 'and how does that make you feel?' again, I am so out of there – Sheppard)
182) You are not to eat cake/brownies/pudding or other sweets before you're done with your meal.
a. Desert can only be retrieved upon showing the chef your empty plate.
b. You need to eat all your vegetables in order to stay healthy, overgrown children.
183) Discrimination is not allowed on this base.
a. We all come from the same planet.
(Aren't you discriminating Teyla and Ronon right now? – Sheppard)
184) You are not to travel to an alternate universe.
a. It's getting old.
b. Think of the PAPERWORK, people!
c. Quantum mirrors are to be destroyed on sight; therefore, you can't travel to an AU without breaking two rules.
d. Which means you'll be on laundry duty twice as long.
185) You are not allowed to throw your team-mates off balconies.
(Hah, McKay was wearing a personal shield; no dishes for me this month – Sheppard)
(Kavanagh isn't my team-mate – Ronon)
(I believe that does not justify your actions, Ronon – Teyla)
(No, but the fact that the man has a pony-tail does – McKay)
186) Do not let anyone know that you are from Atlantis.
( ? – Ronon)
(She means the people off-world – Sheppard)
187) Tales of the Brothers Grimm are not to be read aloud.
188) You are not to solve the last Sudoku puzzle on the Midway Station.
189) Entering someone's quarters without their permission is prohibited.
(With all due respect, Ma'am; then how did you find the painting under my bed? – Lorne)
(I have my sources – Weir)
(Do I want to know? – Lorne)
(No – Weir)
190) Do not re-create FRAN again.
a. Much as we like her, the poor girl hasn't had a day off since McKay first created her original form.
191) Replicators are not toys.
a. And for God's sake, don't play cards with them.
(Then will stick their hands in your head, get the information they want and walk out with your money – McKay)
192) April fool's day does not exist on Atlantis.
a. Period.
(My shoes don't have laces; don't even try it – Weir)
193) Umbrella's are not part of the off-world outfit; stop bringing them along.
Surprisingly, SGA-13 lived to tell the tale about their meeting the natives on MHX-788. The villagers tried to unclasp the their umbrella and succeeded in poking out the eyes of the Village Chief. If you want details about what happened next, you will have to get Dr. Beckett's report of the disaster.
194) Cheating at chess tournaments is prohibited.
(Why can't you just admit that I'm better than you? – Zelenka)
(Never – McKay)
(FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, RODNEY! – Weir)
195) Upon encountering Ancients, you are not to insult them.
a. No matter how many mistakes they've made, or how desperately they want to take Atlantis from us.
(Are we allowed to sleep with them? – McKay)
b. No.
(Tough luck, Sheppard – McKay)
196) There will be no turning on the heat during summer time.
a. Isn't it bad enough that we have successfully ruined Earth's environment? Do we have to start in another galaxy as well?
(We can use hot water, right? – Sheppard)
(Yes, you can – Weir)
(What about getting a second car? – Ronon)
197) Do not fly your Jumper too close to a sun.
a. Radiation could cause some serious damage.
b. The temperature could become a problem as well.
c. Don't think Sunglasses will do you any good when your ship's melting away.
198) If you find an interesting object, you are not to keep it.
(Did anyone find my wallet? – Chuck)
(I'm missing my bra – Cadman)
(My painting is gone – Ronon)
(Yeah, I'm sorry about that… I just can't help myself – McKay)
199) Pyjama parties; just no.
Dr. Grant's party turned out to be one big bullying match about whose pyjama was the prettiest. Weeks later, the problem still wasn't dealt with. It took the botanists' apartment two months to realize that Dr. Brown had, in fact, the cutest pyjama. When Dr. McKay stepped in and told them that he absolutely disagreed, the situation escalated.
200) Making decisions without consulting your superiors is prohibited.
a. I always have the final say in the matter.
b. Period.
c. End of story.
