Why This Must Be Read: The summary says “This might be what you'd get if you mixed How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, You've Got Mail and Maid in Manhattan in a blender with the setting on SGA, but probably not. Jeannie signs Rodney up on an online dating website.” OK yeah I love chickflicks and combining a few together with my favourite sci fi show then it’s a win win.
"John!"
John turned to see Elizabeth, his boss, coming at him. "Oh God," John said, looking at Lorne quickly, "what did I do this time?" Lorne gave him a small smirk before returning to his phone call.
"You didn't do anything," Elizabeth said, rolling her eyes. "I got your Dear Abby answers this morning and they're fine. Well, they're publishable, anyway." She smiled. "You said you wanted to get out of Dear Abby, right? Well, do this one thing for me, and you can get first pick on any second-page-worthy story during Monday's meeting."
"Really?" John asked, sitting up straighter. Then, he gave her a suspicious stare, "Wait a second, this isn't that story you're trying to push on all the guys, is it?"
Elizabeth put her hands on her hips and looked down at him.
"Oh my God, it is," John groaned, slouching back into his chair. "Elizabeth, why the hell you do you think I asked for a better assignment? I don't want to pretend to be a woman anymore. And now you want me pretend to be a woman on an internet dating site?"
"Just for the article," Elizabeth said, crossing her arms. "All you have to do is set up a couple of dates, wait for the guys to get stood up, and interview them without revealing your identity. I need you to write a story on their experience. And no, you can't interview one of your friends," she added when he smirked.
"Why not?!" John asked, pouting. "Ford found someone very nice last month. Sure, she may have gotten him hooked on something, and I haven't seen him for a week, but still, you know. He found someone.
"And hey, that sounds like a stupid story," John whined. "You can't be serious."
Elizabeth's eyes narrowed. "I am. David Oberoth, the owner of LantisLove? Just burned us in an interview he did for the Post. We gotta burn him back." There was a scary glint in Elizabeth's eyes.
"Okaaayyy," John agree reluctantly, "but I want a front page story."
Elizabeth grinned, satisfied. "Fine. I need the article by Friday."
