I think, I'm over it finally…

But, I still don't on SG-1.

Legato with vengeance

Can There Ever Such a Thing as an Unusual Day at the SGC.

Chapter Four

Ring…Ring…

"Good mooring," a voice spoke with a very fake Russian accent, "fellow travelers, today, we would like to announce a delay in flight plans, due to certain Space Monkeys over sleeping!" Jack buzzed over the speakerphone in Daniel's hotel room.

"Jack, what do you want?" Daniel decided to stall by playing ignorant.

"Well, I'm just your friendly wakeup service, designed to wake up certain Space Monkeys," Jack seemed to pull the phone away from his mouth for this one, "and certain majors that don't answer to phone."

Daniel heard something that he assumed was Sam protesting. "So, get you butt out of bed and down in the lobby with your bags, or you can stay here till the rest of us come back." Jack must have felt the job accomplished because he just waited for Daniel to hang up.

After hanging up, Daniel got dressed quickly and jogged off to the elevator, where he found SG-1 waiting for him. "So, why are you guys in the elevator?" Daniel looked around seeing a group of people standing in the elevator with them.

"The elevator appears to be broken, DanielJackson" Teal'c looked over at Carter who was messing around with some wires on the button panel.

"How so? It changed floors when I pressed the button," Daniel hopped onto the elevator as the doors started to shut behind him, someone else wanting to join the crowd from another floor.

"Well, Danny-boy, see how the button that says '1' on it is glowing?" Jack pointed at the button panel, Daniel nodding. "Well, its been pressed down for about fifteen minutes, but we only go to get more people from all the other floors in two minute intervals."

"Well, why not just use the stairs instead?" Daniel nodded in the direction of the stairs.

"The door to the staircase appears to be blocked, DanielJackson," Teal'c spoke for the team, who had tried to batter down the door.

"Well, would you let me see it?" Daniel pressed the button for the second floor and headed out, Teal'c right behind him.

"So, do you guys know why this is happening?" Daniel tried to grasp their current situation.

"I do not know, it is a mystery to us all, DanielJackson," Teal'c stopped in front of the door to the staircase. "This door has been locked, and none of us could open it," Teal'c gave the handle a tremendous yank, but nothing happened.

"Here, I can, but, don't tell anyone about this, just say we forced it open," Daniel pulled a skeleton key from his pocket.

"I do not know what you are doing, so I will tell them that," Teal'c decided to remain indifferent to whatever secrecy Daniel wanted out of him.

Daniel put the skeleton key into the lock, and the door swung open for them, he and Teal'c both descending the stairs very cautiously, not sure what they would find at the bottom.

"DanielJackson I think that it would be better if you remained here," Teal'c produced a Gou'ald ribbon weapon from his pocket, then went into the lobby. Then after a few minutes Teal'c reappeared at the foot of the stairs. "As your people say, the coast is clear, DanielJackson."

"Ok," Daniel walked the remaining steps and found the free breakfast all ready on the tables, and all the employees in their proper places,

"This is weird." Daniel looked at Teal'c, who was carefully inspecting a tray of doughnuts. "Hey, Teal-" Daniel stopped short, realizing that 'Teal'c' isn't exactly an everyday name, and would attracted too much attention. So, he decided on a different name for the six-foot tall Jaffa. "Hey, T-Man, let's get the elevator working," Daniel noticed Teal'c still responded to the name, Jack must've been using it already… 'This won't end well…'

"Yes, it would be a good idea to attempt to bring the others down here," Teal'c took his eyes off the jelly doughnuts. Then strode over to the elevator when Daniel pressed the button, but still, no elevator came to the first floor. "I believe that it would be better if we brought them down the stairway, DanielJackson."

"Yeah…" Daniel hustled up the stairs and back to the elevator door, "Jack, Sam?" Daniel stared at the piece of tape that kept the doors from closing.

"Yo, Danny Boy," Jack gave Daniel a little wave. He and Carter were the only people still in the elevator, Sam was working on the controls and Jack was sitting in the opposite corner with an 'out of order' sign taped to his face.

"We, er, got the door-" Daniel stopped as Jack held up his hand.

"We know, Space Monkey, we know," Jack shook his head slowly, "but Major Carter just won't give up on this bucket of bolts," Jack let out a long sigh that made his sign flip up in the air.

"Come on Sam, let's just go, tell them that their elevator is broken, and get out of here," Daniel came over to where Carter was finally pulling away from the derelict machine.

"I'm done, it's finally fixed," Sam stood up ripping off the tape and pressing the door close button. "There was some kind of emergency circuit, that would stop the door from going to the first floor if anything was wrong, so I had to override it." She looked very pleased with her work as the elevator started zooming towards the first floor.

"Soo, kiddies, ready to go?" Jack taped the sign back to the inside wall of the elevator.

"ONE HUNDRED BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL, ONE HUNDRED BOTTLES OF BEER, DRINK ONE DOWN, FLAUNT IT AT SPACE MONKEY, NINETY-NINE BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL!" Jack began his second chorus of, "One Hundred Bottles of Beer on the Wall: SG-1 Style," when Daniel decided it was enough.

"Jack! If you're hungry, just say so!" Daniel pulled to the off ramp and right up to the nearest McDonald's, exasperated. "Ok, lunch time," Daniel got out and hurried off into the restaurant to get away from all the maddness.

"He's not taking this stress very gracefully, is he?" Jack gave Carter a sideways glance.

"I don't know how many would, Sir," Sam too, felt like ripping Jack's voice box out, but managed to get away with drawing caricatures of Jack, and showing them to Daniel.

"… I see…" Jack decided that at least Teal'c might be on his side. "So, T-Man, what are you going to order here?" he looked to the Jaffa as they stood before one of the cashiers.

"I do not know, Colonel O'Neill, what do you suggest I order?" Teal'c had no idea what there was going to be here, all of this time they had been surviving on army surplus K and C rations for their lunch, so Teal'c hadn't been at a McDonald's as of yet.

"Well, for you, I'd say, that you should order a…" Jack's voice trailed, and then he inquired, "Do you like hamburgers?"

"Yes, Colonel O'Neill, I do," Teal'c looked up at the menu.

"Well, then tell the cashier that you want a… Single hamburger with fries and uh… what do you want to drink?" Jack looked at what kind of drinks they had available.

"I do not like this 'soda' that is available, I will have water then," Teal'c told the cashier and picked up his tray at the next register after Jack paid for their lunches.

"See, T-Man, quick and painless," Jack sat down next to Daniel at their designated table.

"May I ask?" Daniel looked over at the large order of fries Jack had.

"No, you may not," Jack shoved three fries in his mouth at once.
