Phys Ed: Week 3, Period 2 (9/19)

When students entered the Danger Shop this week, rather than a gym, they would find themselves transported to a lush green hillside. With a whole bunch of sheep.

As usual, Ronon started talking when he felt like it. "Okay, today you'll work with a partner to shear some sheep. Mc-my teammate said this is a traditional gym class for the Scottish people. Call it cultural gym or somethin.'" Ronon gestured to an area with all the necessary equipment for the process. "Grab some tools and some instructions and get started."

Ronon stopped himself from turning away. "Don't forget to dress out. Locker rooms are right behind you." Ronon himself was again wearing his standard leather ensemble.

"I have really good aim," Sokka assured him. Hopefully, Friday wouldn't notice that he hadn't actually said anything about not cracking the sheep's skull.

Friday had noticed, but weighed up accidentally killing a sheep that wasn't real with having to spend the whole hour chasing after the sheep. "I think we'll only get one shot at this, so make it a good one. But if I see cerebrospinal fluid anywhere, I'm blaming you."

"Cerebro... can't you just say 'brain juice' like a normal person?!?"

Sokka winged the stone and it hit the sheep square between the eyes. It... didn't pass out, which was bad, but it did keel over onto its side and bleat pathetically, which was... well, heartbreaking. But at least it wasn't running away.

Sokka grimaced as he walked up to the sheep with the shears. "I'm so, so, sorry," he told the sheep. "But you should just be glad we're not gonna eat you."

Friday looked at Sokka as he followed, also looking remorseful even though he didn't do it. He was part of the team and that was guilty enough. "And be glad you're not real," Friday added. "Once this is all over, you won't feel a thing, as opposed to a brain lesion, possible concussion or long-lasting brain damage." He was trying, and failing, to keep a straight face while saying this more to Sokka than the sheep. Still, he did feel a bit guilty and had crouched down to console the sheep by stroking its head. This doubled as a measure to make sure it wasn't going to run off.

"She's FINE," Sokka insisted, more for his own benefit than Friday's, as he started shearing. "I've hit seals MUCH harder than that."

Of course, those seals were usually skinned and butchered shortly thereafter, so it wasn't really the same thing...

"Besides, everyone knows pigsheep -- I mean, sheep -- have really hard skulls."

"What's a pigsheep?"

Sokka pointed at the sheep. "Like this, only smaller, with a flat pink snout and curly tail."

"So...a pig?" He was a little confused. Or possibly messing with Sokka. It was hard to tell.

"Pigs don't have wool," Sokka pointed out.

"So it's a pig, but it's a sheep. Are all animals where you come from mish-mashed?" he asked, guessing alternate universe. It happened a lot.

"Okay, it does sort of look like a pig crossed with one of these 'sheep' things," Sokka admitted, "but that doesn't make it a mish-mash! It's just a NORMAL animal, where I'm from. YOUR animals are the weird ones!"

He wasn't even going to BEGIN to get into how wrong the penguins here were.

"So your animals are the normal ones and ours are just half-a-normal-animal?" he asked fairly innocently.

Sokka crossed his arms and nodded. That got a protest from the sheep, which had managed to get its leg in the way of the electric shears. "Yup, that's right. At least, from my perspective." Again, not going to mention the penguins.

"Any dodos? Or dodo-penguins?" The sheep struggled for a moment, but Friday held onto it tightly.

"We have penguins," Sokka told him, "but they're way different from your penguins. They're bigger, and have four flippers, and whiskers. Penguins should not have beaks, okay?"

"No beaks," he said, not really agreeing, but not wanting to argue. "But no dodos?"

"You're a dodo," Sokka countered, because his mun couldn't remember if there were or not.

"And to think we started the class with you thinking my name was cool. Now I'm a dodo?"

"Your NAME is still cool," Sokka informed him. "I'm just not sure you're worthy of it, if you keep making fun of my animals."

"I wasn't making fun of them!" he protested, except how he totally was making fun of them. "And if I'm a dodo, then you're a penguin. With a beak." Seriously, that was all he could come up with at short notice.

"Seriously? That's all you could come up with?" Sokka shook his head and tsk-tsked. "You'll have to do better than that."

"Pigsheep?" He had to bite his lip not to laugh. "Dragonllama? Hippowalrus."

"You're just making stuff up!!!" Sokka protested.

"Ninjashark!" he countered.

Sokka grinned. "That. Would be. So. AWESOME!!! Even more awesome -- ALMOST -- than Ninja Turtles!"
