Alrighty, so something to entertain us while the show is on mid-season hiatus. Drabble tree time at
beckett_cadman!
What is a Drabble Tree?: A drabble tree are drabbles that take the last word of the drabble preceeding them and use that word as the first word of their own drabble. So, if the one you're replying to ends with 'fire' the first word of your drabble has to be 'fire'. The drabbles don't have to be in any way related except for the last/first word. You can reply as many times to any drabble. Very few rules on the drabble tree.
A drabble is technically 100 words exactly, but I'm not picky about it. As long as it's 100 or more, it's golden for this. So, technically... ficlet tree! As well, since we are
beckett_cadman, let's make sure the drabbles are either Beckett, Cadman, or Beckett/Cadman centric, with any one else thrown in for fun. Cause we love them all here :) As well, any rating is allowed, but if it's NC-17, just make a note in the subject so people can skip it if they want.
And I'll start it off, again proving the 100 words doesn't matter, cause mine's a double drabble *lol*

Carson sighed, obviously exasperated. "Go ahead, lass. Laugh. You know you’ve been waiting to."
Laura shook her head. "Oh, c’mon. I’m not going to laugh at you. What kind of person do you think I am?" She bit her lip when Carson glared at her. "Besides, I think it’s kinda cute."
"Cute?" Carson replied sharply, raising an eyebrow as Laura tried valiantly not to laugh. "I look like a bloody fruit!"
That finally did it. Laura bent over, laughing, as Carson tried again to rub the purple from his skin. She hadn’t gotten the full story, but apparently something exploded in the lab – Zelenka was apparently a dark green, and Rodney a lovely shade of blue. "Oh, but it could totally be worse," she said after gathering her wits enough to speak again.
"And how would that be?" Carson demanded, crossing his arms across his chest and glaring at the marines who walked through the corridor, snickering at him.
"I’ve been stuck in McKay’s head," Laura replied, her grin well practiced from using this particular point to win multiple arguments. "That particular horror wins any argument. Any time," she laughed, giving Carson a quick kiss on his purple cheek. "Always."
