sorry that took so long, but i hope i kept up the entertainment by providing the mini-stories... anyway, here it is chapter 19!
They all stopped and stared at Daniel, and 'they' included Chris. Jack felt another smile climb up his face and before he could stop it, the small colonel broke out laughing again. SG-1 looked at him then at Daniel. Unable to help themselves, Sam and Teal'c, yes Teal'c too, started cracking up.
Hammond bit his lib in an attempt to hold it in. Chris chuckled a bit, not finding what was so funny, but laughter is contagious. Hammond and SG-1 knew what was going on.
"Guyzz, thaz not funny!" Daniel protested angrily. Unfortunately, his new 'lisp' caused the small team to laugh even harder. Now Hammond and Chris had to deal with three hysterical little kids. Jack hiccupped and held his stomach from laughing. He couldn't stop, but the need for air slowed him down.
The others found the same problem and slowed down, tears in their eyes. Daniel pouted; he'd forgotten about this when he was nine. Now he was at the mercy of his fellows. Stupid apple, he cursed mentally, not trusting himself to speak. He just hoped his other front tooth didn't fall out too.
"Okay kids, that's enough," Hammond said after a good five minutes of laughing. He hoped, because 3 minutes of laughing equals to about 30 minutes of cardiac aerobics, that his heart was holding out fine. He didn't want a relapse. Frasier wouldn't like that… oh no, she would not like that. Chris just gaped curiously. What was with these kids? You'd think at their age, a loose tooth wasn't that funny.
Oh but what little he knew.
"Daniel, speak," Jack ordered. Daniel clamped his mouth shut and shook his head vigorously. Now there were two of them that refused to speak. Daniel rolled his eyes, feeling a little better now. Sam started humming something and Jack and Daniel knew the tune quite well.
"All I want for Chrzizmaz ist my two front teef, my two front teef. Zo I can wizh you Merry Chrzizmaz." Sam and Jack had pretty accurately faked the tooth thing. Daniel glowered at them as they smiled innocently.
Hammond chuckled again. "Time for lunch you guys, if you already haven't eaten your share…"
"Lunch!" Jack and Sam yelled.
Teal'c looked highly amused. "Some food would do." Daniel wasn't all that hungry or amused, but he meekly nodded.
"Chris? You're welcome to come along… not that there's anything else to do," Hammond offered. Chris shrugged.
"You're right, I'm hungry. Let's go!"
"Where to?" Sam wondered smartly.
"Mickey D's!" Jack shouted out.
"IHOP?" Sam offered.
"O'Malley'z…" Daniel coughed up smugly. They grinned at his lisp, but said nothing of it.
Chris looked thoughtful. "You know, I've lived here for ten years, and I've never gone there. Sad huh? I've heard its real good."
SG-1 looked at each other and chorused: "Yeah."
"Can we all fit into one car?"
"Not mine," Parson smiled.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"It's a pub?"
"Yeah, sorta."
"Do they let kids in?"
"I don't know actually."
"I'll go check it out George."
"Okay." Chris got out of the car and went into O'Malley's. Hammond turned around to face the team.
"You know sir, we where kicked out of the place," Sam pointed out.
"I know, think of this as… a freebie."
"Well yeah, they wouldn't recognize us as little kids would they?"
"Nope," Hammond said.
"Still, this should be fun."
"Colonel, what are you thinking?" Hammond said warningly. Jack smiled wryly.
"Oh nothing."
An hour later found them back into the Hammond's car, with Jack smiling, Sam amazed and amused, Daniel… well…, Teal'c stoic, Hammond amused but POed, and Chris off-balance.
"O'Neill!"
"What?" he answered innocently.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing."
"Yeah riiiiight."
"So what if I tied all the pool players' shoelaces together?" Jack shrugged.
