again... sorry for the humongous wait... the ideas just dont seem to flow anymore... hmmm... MUSE! anyway, enjoy!
"Hello general!" the guard saluted. Hammond saluted back and the Marine peered inside the car. "I'm sorry sir, but you can't take them inside. You know that."
"Sergeant, are you telling me what I can and can't do within my base?" The sergeant got all straight and silent.
"No sir!" he barked.
"Good." As Hammond drove in, the "kids" in the back smiled at each other. They made a note to tease the man about this later – when they got bigger again.
Were they going to be stared or what! As the car passed through all the necessary gates and security, all the little adults got thoroughly investigated, sight wise. Yet no one was dumb enough to question the general…. not like that other guy.
Frasier MUST be psychic or something… because she was waiting right out front for them all to step out and into her office, wherever that may be. The little ones saluted all the confused marines and airmen just for fun. At risk of disappointing the kids, or if they had any relation to the general, they saluted back kindly.
"How do you feel colonel, major? Teal'c? Daniel?" Frasier asked them in the elevator. "More importantly, how do you feel sir?"
"I'm fine." There it was the conditioned response. One of these days she was going to…
"I'm good doc."
"Me too."
"Me free."
"I am well Doctor Frasier."
The good doc sighed heavily and looked down at the four below her. Jack started straight up and glared nastily at her. Same old Colonel O'Neill apparently. His more serious half had returned, well at least he knew to be serious and adult like. For now.
Calmly, Jack reached up towards Daniel's face. The "younger" man didn't flinch knowing that Jack often did this. Jack pushed up Daniel's glasses, pulled a fry out of his hair, eat it and smiled. Daniel reached up in surprise, expecting to find more fries. When he didn't, he looked rather disappointed.
"Colonel? Daniel?" Frasier asked in surprise. Hammond chuckled and offered up an answer.
"Doctor, they had McDonald's and Burger King earlier. As to how the fry got into Dr. Jackson's hair…" He looked at Frasier's face storming over. She had something against fast food. Sam, Daniel, and Jack starting going "Oooooooh!" to Teal'c's surprise and the elders dislike.
"Come on people, we are military officers, now act like some."
Daniel didn't feel it quite so necessary to point out the obvious, but Jack did.
"Daniel and Teal'c aren't military sir." Hammond sighed as they walked out of the elevator.
"How did you deal with them sir?" Frasier asked as they stepped out. He rolled his eyes.
"Lots and lots of practice."
"And patience too!" piped Carter as she ran off.
"And patience too." Frasier laughed.
sorry, that was short... someone give me a couple of plot lines... i'm running outta ideas! HEEEELP!
