A/N: sorry, i got writers block again, so too keep y'all from being bored, i introduce another mini-story
Colonel Jack O'Neill had been wandering around now for hours. Bored, with nothing to do (except paperwork) and a mission he was due for in... oh 3 hours, left him with nothing better to do. Jack scowled, he hadn't seen the rest of the base familiars and he was damn sure what they were up to. It was a little known fact, but today was his birthday - of course he'd have to kill you if you knew that...
Anyway, his legs seemed to drag him one way and before he knew it they stopped - in Carter's lab. She'd been happily content these last couple hours fiddling around with some doohickey of hers. She looked up and smiled.
"Hi sir. Bored?"
"You sure betcha. Whatcha doing?"
"I'm working with an inverter for-"
"Gah! It was a rhetorical question."
"Right sir."
"So, let's try this again Carter. Whatcha doing?"
"Fiddling with a doohickey, you?"
"Being bored. How's the fiddling coming?"
"Just-"
Brrring! The wall phone rang loudly.
"Carter." Since the colonel obviously couldn't hear the other side of the conversation, he made himself believe that good news just came from the lab or something. Sam was smiling now. "Really? I... I don't believe it! Wow... okay, see you later then. Bye." The major looked into her commanding officer's slightly puzzled eyes. "Great news from the lab." He sighed in relief. Jack didn't really want to have to kill Sam...
Now she frowned momentarily. "Sir, apparently Hammond wants to see you, something about our mission in a couple hours. He wants me there too..."
"Did he now?"
"I know, that's a little strange. Oh well, I figure we should go meet him then."
Jack pointed his arms at the door.
"After you madam," he smiled warmly. They walked down the corridor side-by-side. The colonel realized that they'd gone past the general's office and were headed for one of the huge isolation rooms. O'Neill looked at his 2IC oddly. She shrugged, for she was just as clueless as he. Jack pulled out his keycard, swiped it, and the door slid open. Several people were in the iso room and they all turned at the sound of the door.
"Gah!" he wailed. Jack walked back out into the corridor. Sam gave him one puzzled 'what-was-that-about' look, stepped into the doorway, and stopped dead.
Four pairs of identical brown eyes stared back at her.
"Oh no..." Four Jack O'Neills stood before her. "Oh no," she whispered forebodingly. "There's FOUR more of you!"
They all plastered on the same innocent smile on their faces.
Before you ask, four, yes four. Crystal clone, Harlan clone, Duplicate O'Neill, and MacGyver. This is an AU story/drabble thing -most definitely an AU (lol, I stole the quantum mirror, that's why!)
