April Fools


A/N: It was meant to be a drabble but I didn't manage to cram all of it into 100 words. Theoretically set season 7 but could be earlier.


Voted the best prank in the SGC that year:

Dr Lee ordered the super-tough transparent polymer, fabricated into a 20 foot disk.

Dr Felger ordered the super-strength gelatin.

Major Carter ordered the custom wormhole-blue food dye.

Master Sergeant Siler managed the logistics of filling a giant disk with warm water, blue dye and gelatin while positioning it inside the stargate. Finding a method of cooling the water/dye/gelatin mix fast enough to stop it from collapsing all over the gateroom floor was his crowning acheivement of the morning.

Colonel O'Neill didn't spot his 2IC snickering in the corner before he went up to the ersatz event horizon that was freaking out the brand new junior tech, poked it with a pocket knife and got drenched by over 700 gallons of partially-set blue jello.

(Jack never did get the blue to wash out of his clothes and the incident was blamed for the sharp rise in demand for black BDUs. He got his revenge on Sam a few years later but by then, they had both left the SGC.)
