Chapter 16: Circles
Teal'c and Daniel had been driving around for three and a half hours before Daniel stopped the car, thoroughly exasperated, and got out.
"Okay, where the hell are we?" he asked, frustrated, looking around helplessly.
"I do not know." Daniel sighed and leant his head against the roof of the car, sighing deeply, and Teal'c walked slowly over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him in some sort of way.
"Do not worry, Daniel Jackson. We will find the way to this event."
"We've been looking for three and a half hours. What makes you think we'll be able to find it now?"
"Perhaps… perhaps…" Teal'c blinked a couple of times, before looking back down at Daniel.
"Perhaps we should give up."
"I'm starting to think that too," came Daniel's mumbled reply. There was a slight pause and the sound of leaves rustling flowed over from nearby, before Daniel lifted his head up again.
"No, I think I've got an idea…" They got back into the car, before Daniel drove off.

He stopped again outside Sam's house five to ten minutes later. Teal'c did his famous 'eyebrow lift' towards Daniel, who shrugged and got out of the car.
"She's away, right," he began to explain, walking up to her doorstep. "Well, that means she hasn't collected the paper yet… and this week's copy might have details on the fair in it."
"What if it has not been delivered yet?" Daniel glanced back at him.
"Well, then, we're screwed, aren't we?" They both searched around for the newspaper, and seeing that it wasn't on her doorstep decided to look elsewhere. Daniel ended up half in the bushes, struggling around and having a fistfight with a tree, trying to find it.
It ended up being there. Luckily. Otherwise Daniel would have some swearing to do… first getting bitten by an ant, then almost getting his glasses knocked off his face and then falling over numerous times and getting whacked in 'certain areas' by menacing sticks and twigs…
"Okay, let's see, fair details…" Daniel said, Teal'c looking over his shoulder, and he flicked through the pages.
"Ahah!" Daniel suddenly shouted in glee, and he beckoned to the small article concerning the carnival event, pointing at the details.
"It tells us exactly where to go," he said, grinning from ear to ear, and he looked up at Teal'c to see that he was also smiling.
"Does that mean we have discovered the directions to get to this… exhibition?"
"Yep. Come on, let's get out of here so we can actually get there to do something!"

A/N: Had to have the whole 'Teal'c and Daniel go to a fair' thing!
More is on its way, I promise!
