================
"Carter hey wait up!" Jack called, as he jogged down the coridor to catch up with Sam. "Do you got a minute?"
"Actually yeah I do." Sam answered "I was just headed to the commisary. Care to join me sir."
"Great."
The two walked the rest of the way to the commisary in a comfortable silence. Reaching the commisary they grabed some food and found a table to sit down at.
"So sir what can I do for you?"
"well...um...uh..." Jack shifted around he his seat obviously trying to find away to say whatever it was he wanted to say. Sam found the whole thing quite funny, because it wasn't every day she got to see Jack, who was known to speak with out thinking, stammer not knowing what to say.
"Sir just spit it out."
"Ok you know that talent show charity thingy that Hammond makes us do every year?"
"Yes."
"Well it's coming up in a few weeks and I was thinking maybe me and my band could play, but it turns out that Max is going to be out of town for work and Jason is going to be visting family then."
"Thats to bad."
"Yeah thats what I thought but since this is supposed to be a team building thing any way it's kind of a good thing they'll be out of town. Cause since this is supposed to be a team event, and I've already talk to Daniel and Teal'c, I thought that that maybe we could still do the band thing together as a team. And we'd like you to help us out."
"Me, you want me to help you?"
"Yeah I mean its only fair since you're the only member of SG-1 that hasn't had some part in this band thing. Me and Teal'c have been with it from the begining and Daniel's sang with us a few times,but you haven't got to do anything."
"And just what would I be doing?"
"Glad you asked. You see since me and Teal'c already have instruments to play we only need a drummer and one more guitar player. And appearently Daniel, our multi-talented spacemonkey, can play the drums already, don't ask me how or why he knows, I just barly found out this morning that he could play. Which means we just need a guitar player and I was thinking maybe I could teach you how to play a song or two on the guitar, then we'd be all set."
"The guitar." Jack nodded head nervously. "I guess I could do that since it is for charity."
"Great. So I'll see later tonight at my house with the others so we can start rehersing."
"I'll be there."
====================
So after a few weeks of rehersing and some near blow ups with eachother SG-1 was ready to preform. Sitting back stage Jack was giving the group a last minute prep-talk while they waited for their turn on stage. Finally the last act finished and General Hammond began to introduce SG-1.
"Alright people we have one more team act tonight. I'm sure all of you are anxious to see what they've managed to come up with this year, so with out ferther delay I give you SG-1." Hammond announced."
As the curtins opened to show the musical instruments, SG-1 came on stage and went to pick up their instruments. While the others got themselves situated Jack stepped up to the mic. and started to talk to the crowd.
"Hey everyone hows it going? As I'm sure you've figured out tonight SG-1 is going to be playing you some music. The song we're going to be playing is called 'Up and Gone'." Jack stated. "I wrote this song after a not so pleasent recovery I went through after taking a trip to the Antartic, where I got pretty sick. I wasn't so sure that I'd ever play this song for anyone, no scratch that I was positive I'd never play this for anyone, but my team got their hands on the paper I wrote it down on and insisted that it was the song that they wanted to play tonight. So here it is'Up and Gone'."
(Music starts and Jack begins to sing).
Staring at the white above
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead
Or is it in my head?
Where'd I go wrong
Staring at the white above
One day I closed my eyes and here I am
A cold, unhappy man
I've come to realize the life I have I hate
The pulse I need is slowly fading
Until I've lost it all
I've been waiting for an inspiration
For a chance I never got to take
Before it's much too late
Where'd I go wrong
Where's the boy that used to run?
Could it be he's up and gone away?
He seems so far away
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away?
They seem so far away
It feels as if the boy in me
Has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
Imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
Approach him slow, don't be afraid to say
"Can he come out and play?"
Where'd I go wrong
Staring at the sky above
I've found a chance I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes
Where'd I go wrong
Finishing up, SG-1 made their way off stage feeling that they'd done a pretty good job, if the clapping from the audience was anything to go by. Back stage all that was left for the people that were in the show to do was wait while the audience voted for their favorite act of the night. It took about half an hour for all the votes to be made and then counted.
"Ok people the time has come to announce this years winner." Hammond came out on the stage holding a folded piece of paper. "And this years winner by, a not so suprising, land slide is SG-1." As SG-1 came back on to the stage the audience began to call for an oncore. "Well what do you say, do we get an oncore?"
"You guys up for another one?" Jack turned to the rest of his team. Getting agreement from the others and taking a moment to talk over which of the few songs they knew, they'd play, the group took their place on stage again. "Ok this song we're going to play is called 'Evil Has No Boundaries'. I'll admit this song came to be after alot of alchol and some not so serious thinking about certin things. After I sobbered up I was ready to toss it, but once again my team got their hands on it and well lets just say that I have definitly got to find a new place to hide my writings. Anyway enough talking here's "Evil Has No Boundaries'."
(Music starts and Jack begins to sing).
Woo!
Blasting our way through the boundaries of Hell
no one can stop us tonight
we take on the world with the hatred inside
mayhem the reason we fight
Surviving the slaughters and killing we've lost
then we return from the dead
attacking once more now with twice as much strength
we conquer then move on ahead
(Evil) My words defy
(Evil) has no disguise
(Evil) will take your soul
(Evil) my wrath unfolds
Satan our master in evil mayhem
he guides us with every first step
our axes are growing with power and fury
soon there'll be nothingness left
Midnight has come and the leather's strapped on
evil is at our command
we clash with God's angel and conquer new souls
consuming all that we can
(Evil) My words defy
(Evil) has no disguise
(Evil) will take your soul
(Evil) my wrath unfolds
Once again SG-1 made their way off stage listening to the clapping of the audience. Off stage they were greeted by many of their fellow co-workers as well as people from the area congradulating them for winning as well as giving them praise for their talent. SG-1 merly took it in stride as they mingled with the crowd and had a good time.
