Hey guys, I like to write fanfiction as well. All Stargate SG-1 fans, especially Danielites, will like this one😉

~K

Summary: Shortly after Jack is captured by Baal, Daniel, still in non-corporeal form, decides to cheer him up. Uhoh;-)

Disclaimer: You guys know I don’t own Stargate or any of these characters, right? You guys know that if I did I wouldn’t be putting Daniel through this rigmarole, but rather something to do with cuffs and feathers….😉

Cheering Up a Friend



Look at him, Daniel

I see him. He’s not happy.

Well, what are you going to do about it?

What can I do, Oma?

You’re his best friend. I think part of why he feels this way is because he misses you. I don’t think there’s any harm in cheering him up.

Really?!

Really.

…. Thank you so much, Oma


Daniel appeared in Jack’s empty office. It had been so long since he was last here…
But now to business. How was he going to cheer Jack up? What cheered him up most when I was there?
Verbal sparring the answer came to him immediately. Well, that shouldn’t be too hard…now, how do I start things off?
* * *

Jack walked into his office and sat down. Dammit I hate mission reports he thought as he picked up pencil and paper. He was about ten minutes into it (with two words written) when Sam stuck her head into his office.

“Hey Colonial, wanna get some lunch?”
“Sounds like a plan!” he answered, thankful that somebody had rescued him from the dreaded paperwork. He tried to stand up.

And found that he couldn’t. Somebody had put glue in his seat! He hadn’t felt anything when he sat down, and he had had that gag pulled on him enough times to know what it felt like. “Um, Carter…”

“Yes? OH!” Realization dawned on her face as she figured Jack couldn’t stand. “I’ll go get Teal’c and Jonas to help pull you up.

“No…” but she was already gone. “Damn. Somebody’s gonna pay…”

The three other (current) members of SG-1 arrived minutes later. Teal’c tried to pull him up, but to no avail.

“What’s that?” asked Jonas, picking something up.

“Looks like some kind of polished stone.” Observed Carter.

“Lemme see that, could be the prankster’s calling card.” Said Jack. He looked at it for a moment then let out a loud “D’oh!” “Carter, this isn’t a stone, it’s a ROCK!” Sam looked confused.

Jack was about to explain when something very strange happened. Words appeared on the polished rock. “Gotcha Jack! -S.M.”
“Very funny. Now will you please let me go, DANIEL?”

Sam, Teal’c, and Jonas all stared. “Doctor Jackson did that?” asked Jonas.

“It was there little joke. Jack always referred to artifacts Daniel found as rocks. And S.M…Jack’s nickname for Daniel was Space Monkey. But…. Daniel?”

“No. Ask Teal’c.” came the reply on the stone. “It was Daniel.” Said Jack. “Teal’c?”

Teal’c walked over and put his arm around Jack and heaved. A Jaffa heaving is a very strong force.
And it appeared that this time Daniel decided to release Jack. Jack went flying forward, straight into Sam. Or rather, face-first into her chest.

He tried to say “Sorry Carter,” but all that those around them heard through the shirt and anatomy therein was “Hmmmee, hmmmr.”

The word ‘HA’ appeared all over the rock.

“Why don’t you come out and laugh at me in my face?” asked Jack, now a bit miffed.

The rock dutifully answered, “Oma’d kill me. I’m stretching it as it is.”

“Bull. You’re just afraid of me.”

“Oh please. Just what exactly do you plan to do to someone you can’t touch?”

Jack couldn’t quite figure out a response to that; or, at least, before Daniel answered for him. “There’s nothing you can do, Jack. I finally gotcha good.”

“Yeah, well, there’s no way you’d have been able to do that if you were…still…corporeal. And you can’t deny I taught you everything you know!” teased Jack.

“The student outdoes the teacher” came the reply on the rock.

“OUTDOES!!!???” Jack exclaimed, clearly exasperated, if in a good way.


* * *

“Did they…do this a lot?” Jonas asked Sam and Teal’c. The three of them had just been watching.

“All the time, Jonas. This is the happiest I’ve seen the Colonial in a while.” Sam smiled.

“Indeed.”

“SG-1 to the Gateroom immediately” came a voice over the loudspeaker. Jack looked up, startled out of his discussion by duty. “You guys go ahead, I’ll be there in a minute.”

After everyone had left, new writing appeared on the rock. “Feel better?”

Jack frowned at the question before realizing that he did in fact feel better than he had in a while. “Yeah. Thanks.”

“No problem”

“Umm…Daniel? I gotta go.”

“Yeah, me too.”

“You’ll visit, though right?” Jack asked, sounding slightly like a child asking his uncle or father the question.

Jack could almost see Daniel smiling. “Of course, Jack.”

Succinct and sweet, very good short story form! It's clear I'd have fuller appreciation if I were more familiar with the source (I saw the Stargate movie when it was first released... otherwise, these characters and conditions are new to me). However, the background info you've provided and the universality of the story's buddy/buddy theme are quite sufficient to allay confusion, while the participants are plenty ingratiating enough to build a rooting interest. I thought the idea of the rock/writing slate was rather clever... is this your own invention or an element found on the show? Regardless, well done! The personal byplay is wistfully charming, and the slapstick elements keep it from becoming to soppy!
 
Hehehe. That made me smile. I could almost see that happening. I'll always miss the Jack/Daniel friendly ribbing. I liked it. n_n
 
Thanks you guys! The rock as a means of communication was my idea, though the part about Jack always calling the artifacts that Daniel found rocks is true to the show. n_n
