Campfire Stories
"And then he came back, only to find his father's head stuck onto the cars antenna..." It was silent bar for the crackle of fire for a moment, before it was broken but a snort, shortly followed but stifled giggles.
"Hey! Don't laugh this is serious." Jack cried indignantly while the two youngest members of the time tried in vain not to laugh.
Daniel looked up, a wide smile on his face, "I'm sorry Jack, but on the car antenna. Really?"
Sam snorted. "The antenna wouldn't have even been able to hold the weight of the head. So it would have just been this broken antenna and decapitated head impaled by said antenna on the ground, and a blood smear on the car."
While saying the last part Sam had been struggling not to laugh, and now had burst out into laughter, clutching her chest and doubled over. To her right Daniel had ended up in a similar position. Jack just sighed and shook his head, watching the pair.
"No respect, you know, if I had gotten a conventional team you all would have faked being scared, because you would actually have some respect for your superior."
"But then Jack, who would let you know when you're being an ass?" Daniel choked out between laughs.
Jack just sat back and grumbled underneath his breath. Once Daniel and Sam had calmed down he turned to Teal'c.
"T, why don't you tell a story." He turned to glare at Sam and Daniel, "At least you might be granted some respect."
Sam and Daniel both smiled innocently at Jack's jab at them.
"I don't understand this Tauri ritual, Jaffa believe in telling stories of winning great battles, not telling stories designed to frighten." Teal'c said, stoic as ever.
Jack just sighed and turned to look at the two mockers of his horrifyingly terrifying story.
"Fine, if mine was so awful why don't the two of you tell a story."
"Ah... No thanks Jack I'm good."
"Same here Sir, I'm not much for horror stories."
Jack sighed for what must have been the thousandth time.
"So you're telling me you mocked my story, only to turn around and say you won't share one of your own."
The two scientists shared a look.
"Yeah, pretty much."
"I'm going to write you both up for insubordination."
Daniel and Sam smiled patronizingly.
"You do that Jack."
Hope you guys liked that. :) I actually got Jack's story from a campfire story my social teacher was telling last year on a field trip. Me and my friend had just come back, and my teacher was standing on top of a picnic bench with about twenty grade ten students listening raptly. And the first thing I heard was Jack's story, and it was all I could do not to laugh.
