'Daniel!' Shouted the commander of SG-1
'What? It was an accident.' He replied innocently, a little too innocently. 'You think I did this on purpose?'
At this point Daniel indicated to what appeared to be a freshly bruised ankle.
Their visit had been short, however it was lengthened slightly by the few proposals of marriage which Daniel had to kindly decline before leaving, which they had done barely 5 minutes ago.
It was exactly 17.05, and in normal circumstances SG-1 where barely 30 minutes from the gate. However the latest 'incident' was going to change that to around 45 minutes.
Daniel had fallen and twisted his ankle.
It appeared as though he had twisted it pretty good as he required your standard Teal'c sized crutch to make any progress in the direction of the gate.
So with one ill placed footstep, the speed was halved and the ETA was drastically changed to sometime near 18.00.
Jack was not a happy camper.
----------------------------------------------
'Colonel, would you like to tell me how exactly you managed to come in late on one of the easiest missions of the year?' Said General Hammond over the intercom.
Sam and a disgruntled Jack had come through the horizon first to be faced with a pissed general.
'Daniel, sir, need I say any more?' he called up to his superior officer, and indicating to the man who had just came through piggy back on to of Teal'c.
'Very well, go and get cleaned up and check that foot out in the infirmary. Your back here in one hour for your de-brief.' And with that the voice from the skies was gone.
'Well there goes my plans for the evening.' He said looking directly at Daniel.
'I didn't plan this Jack!' said Daniel all to truthfully as it was actually Teal'c who had came up with the idea. 'Right Teal'c, giddy-up we need to go and catch Janet.'
The two men left the room leaving the military half of the team standing on the ramp, Sam giggled while Jack had a grim on his face.
'They make a right pair.' Said Sam indicating in the direction the two left in.
'Funny, I thought Daniel always had a thing for Doc.' He said grinning and following them.
Shrugging off the comment with a sigh and a smile, Sam followed the rest of her team to the infirmary.
----------------------------------------------
'Well, I can confirm it.' Said Doctor Frasier seriously, 'You, Daniel Jackson, are officially the weirdest person I've ever met.'
'Janet, you had to hear them I swear something is going on and we had to do something.' He said almost pleadingly.
'We?'
'Indeed.' Said Teal'c speaking up for the first time.
'Teal'c how did he manage to rope you into his little delusions as well?' she asked truly curious.
'I believe that Daniel Jackson is correct…'
'See.' And if he was a five year old child she was sure he would have stuck out his tongue.
'… I was witness to the second and third conversation that he speaks of, I does lead on to the conclusion that…'
'That Sam and Jack, the commander and 2IC of the best team in the SGC are sleeping together?' she said unbelievingly.
'Yes.' Daniel answered surely while Teal'c nodded.
'And you just had to fake breaking your ankle to stop them meeting after work for 'rigorous combat training'?'
'Yes.' He replied just as sure.
'I won't believe it.' She said determinedly, folding her arms.
And as luck would have it the topic of discussion made it's way through the doors of the infirmary.
'So how's Danny-boy doing?' asked Jack making his way over to the group, Sam following closely behind.
'I wonder about him sometimes.' She said un-approvingly.
Daniel's eyes where wide and pleading.
'Yeah and I had stuff to do tonight, trust you Danny-boy to be the reason I have to put them back.' He said almost glowering in his direction.
Daniel and Janet shared a look.
One that did not go unnoticed by Sam or Jack.
'So what plans exactly did this little incident take you away from?' she asked directly of the colonel before her.
'Plans? No plan, just stuff.' He replied standoffish and vague.
'And you Sam?' Janet asked casually as she began to take Daniel vitals.
'What?'
'Did you have any plans?'
'Just work really, speaking of which, I'll see you guys later.' She said looking curiously at her friend who was acting in the strangest way.
'I better head too.' Said Jack following her.
'Don't for get the briefing is it ten minutes!' called Daniel after them.
The three sat/stood in silence as they heard a voice from the corridor.
'Did she just say what I think she said?' asked Janet.
'What do you think she said?' Daniel said in return.
Janet gulped.
'I believe,' spoke Teal'c, ' She said that there would be just enough time.'
'That's what I heard!' she squealed.
Daniel grimaced slightly at the high-pitched scream.
'Do you believe us then?' said Daniel, rubbing his foot that had been 'immobile' for the last hour.
'Hmm, I think we need to investigate further.'
'Further! What more do you want they are clearly doing it!' shouted Daniel, gaining the attention of most of the infirmary even waking a comatose Siler.
'Daniel now be quiet, come back here once the briefing is over I have to deal with Siler now.' She said matter-of-factly.
'But what about now, what about after?' he said worrying about what his friend could get up to during these unsupervised times.
'Daniel!' she said in a warning motherly tone.
'Fine.' He said, stalking out the room on his crutches, carefully lifting his uninjured left leg from the ground.
'It is good to see that you are well, sergeant.' Said Teal'c before following his friend.
With a smile, Janet turned to he latest patient.
'Now sergeant what did I tell you about playing with the main power coupling?'
