Why This Must Be Read: Based on one of my favourite movies "Twister" This is the SGA take on the movie. This is the second part of Brumeiers "At The Movies Series".

THe Summary says: Movie Fusion - Twister (Originally posted as part of Through the Gate, but my OCD made me to break it out and include it as part of my movie fusion series. LOL! No need to review if you've already done so, I promise!)
John left the storm chasing team for the life he thought he wanted. When he comes back he realizes he made a mistake, but is it too late?

I love the way that John and Rodney fit perfectly the Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt roles. The plot is pretty much the same but works really well with SGA

Ronon punched him good naturedly in the shoulder, which made him stumble back a step, wincing. The man was a monster, all muscle and darkly tanned skin. A geometric tattoo circled one forearm and he had random bits of jewellery strung through his dreads. He’d been one of John’s closest friends, back during his chase days.

“Who you got there?” he asked, nodding at Nancy.

“Ronon, I’d like you to meet my fiancée, Nancy Carmichael. Nancy, Ronon Dex.”

The big guy raised an eyebrow, the only sign of his surprise, and shook Nancy’s hand; it was dwarfed in his big paw. “Pleasure.”

“Johnny’s told me a lot about you.”

The nickname got a full-on smile and John winced again. He’d never hear the end of this, he was sure. He was saved from further humiliation by the appearance of Carson.

“John! What a pleasant surprise!” The two men exchanged manly slaps on the back. “What brings you all the way from Wichita?”

“Chewie gave me a call,” John replied, tilting his head at Ronon. “Told me I should stop by.”

Carson nodded solemly. “Aye, and it’s good he did. Wouldn’t be right not to have you here.”

Ronon nudged Nancy forward. “John’s fiancée,” he said.

Again John was given a surprised look, and he scowled in return. He didn’t know why it was such a shock that he should be getting married; it wasn’t like he’d never dated while he’d been part of the group. And okay, maybe it had only been that one girl but still.

At least Carson had better manners, even if his usually faint Scottish accent suddenly got thick as molasses. “Well, congratulations are in order then. I’m Carson. It’s verra nice to meet you.”

“Nancy.”

Carson made to kiss the back of her hand and John slapped his arm away. “Knock that off!”

“Just being polite” he replied, but there was a mischievous glint in his eye.

John opened his mouth to say something, but then he heard Rodney’s familiar, aggravated voice coming from the other side of the bus, and nerves clutched at his gut.

“Clearly you calibrated it wrong, or it would be working. Obviously Skywarn is being run by a bunch of toddlers if that’s the best you can do.”

There was only one person he argued with like that and John wasn’t disappointed to hear Radek’s terse response, his Czech accent thick. “I calibrate properly. You have not attached to power source.”

The two men came around the front of the van and John felt his breath catch in his throat. Rodney. He hadn’t changed at all in the last year; he still wore the same ridiculous gray coveralls, his eyes were still the color of a clear blue sky. He carried a tablet in one hand and gestured with the other. Radek, walking along beside him, pushed his round glasses further up his nose and looked as if he were holding back from physically assaulting Rodney; not an uncommon impulse.

“Do you honestly think I’d forget something so elementary? I can’t believe…hmm. Yes, I see it.” Rodney was looking down at the tablet, not paying attention to where he was going, so when John spoke he jerked in surprise.

“Hey, Rodney.”

The other man looked momentarily startled, and then his face settled into a mask of bland indifference; he couldn’t hide the anger in his eyes, though.

“Oh. It’s you.”
