Sam protested first, "I was hoping to stay in—"
Jack waved a pie-filled fork at her while he interrupted, "No. Definitely not. Team Day."
"But, Jack," Daniel started, "SG-11 came back from—"
"Some planet and brought back some rock that you are not going to be looking at this weekend," Jack told him.
"But Jack—"
" I Team Day/I " Jack stressed.
"O'Neill, I am needed to train new recruits," Teal'c intoned.
"Wait, what? When were you going to tell me this, big guy?" Jack asked.
"You were sent a memo," Teal'c stated. Some would have said he stated it smugly, but with Teal'c it was hard to tell.
"You know I never get these memos, Teal'c," Jack complained. Daniel and Sam opened their mouths to beg off as well, but Jack cut them off, "Ah! We are still having a Team Day. You can join us for lunch, T."
Teal'c nodded imperiously.
"Teal'c, I thought Hammond asked Major Ferretti to take over for you when he gave us down-time," Carter said innocently. Teal'c's dark eyes fixed on her, but she only smiled. If they had to endure a Team Day, Teal'c had to as well. Sam wouldn't allow him to weasel out of it.
Jack narrowed his eyes at Teal'c. "He did, did he?"
Teal'c gazed at the wall behind Jack's shoulder and said nothing.
"Well, fine, if that's the way you all want it," Jack huffed, scowling. "Do whateverthehell you want."
He pushed his pie away, glared at them all, stood, and walked out of the commissary.
Daniel, Sam, and Teal'c all looked at each other. Jack hadn't even finished his pie. "Um, maybe we should…?" Daniel waved in the direction of the commissary doors. Despite their protests, they always ended up enjoying the Team Days. And Jack had clearly been looking forward to this. Sam bit the inside of her lip.
"Yeah," she agreed as Teal'c's nodded. As one, they stood, Carter finishing off the last bit of blue Jell-O from her cup, and followed Jack. They caught up with him at the elevator.
"What you do want, you Team Day destroyers?" Jack asked petulantly.
"We, ah, we wanted to suggest, um…" Daniel looked at the other two helplessly.
"Viewing a movie," Teal'c inserted.
"Yeah, going to a movie for Team Day," Daniel finished.
Jack turned to them, eyeing each one in turn, considering. "Okay. What movie?"
Sam and Daniel glanced at each other, unsure, and again Teal'c solicited, "Rent."
"You want to rent a movie?" Sam asked, scrunching her eyebrows in confusion.
"You misunderstand me, Major Carter," Teal'c clarified. "The title of the movie is 'Rent'."
"Ah, I've heard of that," Daniel realized. "Wasn't it a Broadway play a couple years ago?"
"Indeed," Teal'c said. "The film includes five of the seven original actors. Doctor Fraiser advised me of its quality this afternoon."
"So," Jack began, "we're agreed?"
"Sure," Carter said. Daniel nodded. Teal'c quirked an eyebrow.
A broad grin blossomed on Jack's face as the elevator dinged and opened. "Great! See you all tomorrow. I'll be calling with the time."
Jack stepped into the elevator, and it closed on his pleased, smug smirk. Daniel realized they'd been had.
