Summary : Written for nietie for the Denial prompt fest. She suggested Becker/Jess: ‘Don’t push my buttons.’

“So what does this one do?”

Before Jess had chance to reply, Becker reached out and pressed one of the buttons on the console in front of her.

“Congratulations, Captain, you’ve just flushed and sanitised every toilet in the ARC.”

Becker grinned. “After the curry my lads had last night, that’s probably no bad thing.” He stabbed at another button. “What about this one?”

One of the screens flickered and a picture of an empty corridor was replaced by a view of one of the restrooms where Connor was lounging in a chair scratching his balls.

Jess winced and promptly changed to a different CCTV monitor.

Becker’s next choice sent a quantity of apples tumbling down a shoot into the mammoth’s feeding trough. The huge creature let out a rumble of approval and promptly started snacking.

“Have we got a big red button that says, ‘Do Not Push'?”

“Most certainly not. If we had, someone would have pushed it a long time ago.”

A speculative smile hovered on Becker’s face as he reached out again in the direction of a luminous green button.

Jess slapped his hand away as a voice from behind them declared, “Captain Becker, kindly stop pushing Miss Parker’s buttons. I’m certain there must be a dinosaur somewhere that needs chasing or a lethal weapon that’s pining for lack of attention.”

Becker’s smile slid into a grin and he gave a lazy salute. As he sauntered out of the control room, he saw Lester leant over and press one of the buttons that Becker hadn’t got around to trying. A moment later, the lights lit up on the coffee machine next to the door and it started to dispense a drink.

“Thanks, sir,” he called cheerfully, swiftly purloining the coffee it had produced. “Black with two sugars, just the way I like it!”

He was half way down the corridor when jets of water started to spray from the ceiling, plastering his hair to his head and soaking him to the skin in a matter of seconds.

It looked very much like he wasn’t the only one who’d taken to pushing Jessica Parker’s buttons.

This is ADORABLE!!!

[fredbassett]

*g* Thanks :)

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

*snickers* This was brilliant! I can see both of them just itching to play about with the ADD while Jess shakes her head and wishes she had a ruler to rap them on the knuckles with. :D

[fredbassett]

Thank you! I had fun with this.

[samueljames]

Very funny, made me smile.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

ROFL!!!!! Where can I get me one of these machines - it sounds like fun! *eg*

[fredbassett]

Believe it or not, this was partly inspired by French lay-by loos where pressing the unlock door button flushes and sanitises the loo! I was sure the ARC would be at least as high tech as that.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Sweet :-)

LOLs at Lester's revenge at the end.

[fredbassett]

*g* Lester had to win.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

LOL. Great and loved Lester's revenge at the end.

[fredbassett]

Thanks! There was no way Becker was getting away with nicking the coffee.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, don't get between Lester and his coffee ;)

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee hee! Lovely!

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

ROTFL - that was inspired! - at least they only found Connor scratching and not one of the many pairings at it in the gun room. Or showers. Or cupboards...

Now I want to know what the other buttons do! I bet one sets Lester's desk chair to 'vibrate' mode...

Lester avenges Jess - or perhaps Jess shoved him out of the way and avenged herself ;)

[fredbassett]

LOL, that would be a fun option. *g*

[auntypam.livejournal.com]

Hee,Hee! Seems everyone wants to push Jess's buttons:)

[fredbassett]

They certainly do!

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Very cute! Hehe, serves you right for messing with Jess's buttons. ;)

[fredbassett]

It certainly does serve him right!

[celeste9]

Hee! This is so cute and had me laughing. But Becker really should know better than to steal Lester's coffee!

[fredbassett]

Yep, not a good move!

[x-bellaitalia-x.livejournal.com]

LOL, random button pushing FTW!

And Lester had the last laugh as usual *g*

[fredbassett]

Oh yes, that's a must!

[lilblubox.livejournal.com]

Lol! Although Becker wet is certainly a sight! *g* :)

[fredbassett]

It's one I'd be happy to see!

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

lol! Also... wet!Becker ftw! :-)

[fredbassett]

*g* It would be a nice sight!

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]
