Chapter 1- Dialogue
AN- Kind of a self-challenge. Just wanted to write a short story with nothing but dialogue. I just thought it would be interesting to try.
KKKKKKKKKKKK
"Well, I think it's a wonderful idea."
"Vala…"
"Really, Daniel, think about it."
"I have."
"No, you haven't. You've only considered it from one perspective. That's not thinking, is it Muscles?"
"Indeed it is not."
"Thanks Teal'c."
"Yes, thank you Muscles. You just love any opportunity to poke at our prickly resident archaeological mind, don't you?"
"Indeed. It is most satisfying."
"Easy, Big Guy. We don't want the old boy to actually grow thorns, now do we?"
"Cam, I think it would be wise if we stayed out of this."
"Why?"
"Just trust me. She's winding him up. This is gonna get messy."
"Winding him up? I am not!"
"I concur."
"Do I look wound up?"
"What?"
"What, what?"
"You just switched sides!"
"I did not."
"Did too."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Vala, why'd you have to wind him up?"
"Come now, Samantha, just look at him. This is the best I've felt all day!"
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"What is going on here?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Well?"
"I thought it was a wonderful idea."
"No, sir, just think about it."
"Oh, we are so not going back to that, Daniel."
"Indeed."
"Oh, but it's—"
"Cam, just…no."
"Quiet! You're like bickering children! I leave to answer a phone call and here you are practically having a food fight without the food!"
"From the President?"
"Yes, of course."
"Any diplomatic trips I have to take care of, sir?"
"None whatsoever. I'm clearing you all for some leave. There's a plane waiting for you at Peterson."
"Oh no…"
"Oh yes!"
"Oh no…"
"Oh, don't be such a pessimist, Daniel."
"How can I not be?"
"Good question, Vala. Got any ideas?"
"Plenty, Cameron, but Daniel here doesn't like any of them."
"Please don't start on that again…"
"I wasn't going to, in present company."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Uh."
"You really, really don't want to know General."
"Fine by me. Have fun on your trip."
"Oh, it should be one, sir…"
"Quiet Daniel. High school reunions are fascinating!"
