Friendship = input/returns, where returns can be expressed as a whole number.

Friendship = usefulness/time.

Friendship = a sufficiently challenging chess game.

Frienship = MRM - (insults + arrogance + pettiness) + 2(sensitivity).

Friendship =/= 'Meredith'.

Friendship =/= endless comments about hair loss.

Therefore, it can be concluded that Friendship =/= John Sheppard.



Rodney doesn't even look up when John enters the lab, a little hesitantly, a piece of paper clutched between his fingers.

"Hey, Rodney."

"Mmm?"

"We're - we're okay, right?"

"We've established," Rodney answered, still not looking up, "I'm fine..."

"Yeah." John shifted his weight a little. "But I mean - you're on my team."

Finally Rodney lifts his head, squinting at John.

"Yes..."

"So - we're buddies, right?"

And it's reassuring when Rodney answers, without hesitation but with an expression that questions John's sanity:

"Of course." And then, a little more suspiciously, "...why. What have you done?"

"Nothing!" John looks defensive, shoves the scrap of paper into his pocket. "Nothing. I was just - you want to play some chess?"
