Sorry…I know I promised this to come sooner, but I really didn't think that I would have had such a social life over the holiday vacation, lol.
Happy New Year everyone! (Even if it is a little late!)
"Oh…"
"Holy…"
"Wow…"
"…my…"
"...I...wow…."
"What the-"
"OHMYGOD!"
"…just….wow…"
"…God…"
"I mean…what the-"
"What?" Daniel asked his friends. "What's wrong?"
"Well for starters," Jack began, "you're no longer dressed up as a punk-rock ..…band…...person………...dude…………..thing…"
"No. Of course not!"
"And that would be because…?" Jack questioned.
"Well, why would I stay in the SAME OLD BORING COSTUME for the WHOLE ENITRE NIGHT?"
"Umm……maybe because there was a chance that you wereactually SANE!" Jack said.
Daniel stared at Jack blankly, as if he had no idea what Jack was talking about.
"So…what exactly are you supposed to be…now?" Mitchell asked.
"Isn't it obvious?"
"No…not really…" Vala said.
"I wasn't exactly asking YOU," Daniel said.
"Well sorry," Vala said, rolling her eyes at him.
"No, Jackson. She's right." Mitchell said, not really sure what caught his attention more, Daniels clothes, or his hair.
"I told you! But NO! No one listens to ME!" Vala said, throwing her hands up into the air.
"Yeah…well….its obvious why…" Daniel said.
"Your mean!"
"Your annoying!"
"Fine."
"Fine."
"I'd love to learn how this turns out…really…I would…but right now we face more pressing matters…like Daniel telling us what he's supposed to be. I stress the word 'supposed…to….be'" Jack said.
"I'm a vampire!" He said spinning around, and cloaking half his face with his black cape, leaving only his now black hair and bright blue eyes to be seen. "I vwant to suck your blood!"
"Am I the only one NOT scared by this?" Jack asked. "I mean…the costume is a little odd," Jack continued, as if saying his thoughts out loud, "but its not…freaky…"
"Hey!" Daniel said. "I thought that I did that impression really well!"
"No," Vala began, "he wasn't that scary."
"Well you're one to talk. No ones scarier than you!" Daniel said.
"Fine. Be mean!" Vala said, turning around just quick enough so that the tail of her blood-red devil costume whacked poor Daniel in the knees.
"So Daniel. What's with the hair?"
"Oh this? It's a wig."
"Well I sure hope so…" Janet said, turning around to leave.
"Wait!" Daniel yelled, running after her. "Where are you going?"
'Ding-dong'
"I'll get it!" Daniel yelled, completely forgetting that he had been running after Janet.
When Daniel opened the door he looked down to find five kids looking up at him.
"Trick or treat!" the kids said.
Daniel grabbed the pumpkin bowl that Sam had put candy in for trick-or-treaters. He gave them candy and told them how cute they looked and closed the door when they left.
"Hey Teal'c!" Daniel yelled to his friend, who's pumpkin costume was now half deflated due to the fact that he had pulled out most of the news-paper.
"Yes, Daniel Jackson."
"I have a job for you."
Teal'c looked at his friend, and then tilted his head. "What would you like me to do Daniel Jackson?"
"Take care of the Trick-or-Treaters!"
"I am unfamiliar with this term, Daniel Jackson."
"Trick-or-Treaters? They are the kids who run around going from door to door asking for candy!" Daniel said, with a bright smile on his face.
"I see." Teal'c said.
"Come on! Follow me!" Daniel said, skipping to the door. "You wait for the doorbell to ring, and when it does you open it and when the kids say 'Trick-or-Treat', you give them candy. Do you get it?"
"Indeed."
'Ding-dong'
Teal'c opened the door, just as he had been told. Two girls, who looked about seven years old, stood on the doorstep. Teal'c bent down to their level to give them candy. His unemotional face was almost at the same level as theirs.
"Teal'c…aren't you gonna give them some candy?" Daniel asked.
"I do not believe they have said 'Trick-or-Treat' yet, Daniel Jackson."
"Not every kid is going to remember to say it. Its ok." Daniel said, laughing to himself at the fact that Teal'c would take this job so seriously.
"But I believe that you told me to wait for them to say 'Tick-or-Treat' before I allowed them to take candy."
"Just give them the candy Teal'c!"
Teal'c gave the kids candy and closed the door.
"Next time give them candy whether or not they say 'Trick-or-Treat' Teal'c." Remembering how Teal'c looked at the kids, Daniel quickly added, "and remember, Teal'c: smile."
Teal'c nodded in understandment.
'Ding-dong'
The doorbell rang again.
Teal'c opened the door. Standing on the doorstep was a five-year-old dressed in a Tigger costume, and eight-year-old dressed in a Superman costume, and a few little girls, who appeared to know each other, all in fairy costumes.
Teal'c let out a big smile, revealing all his teeth, and sparkling white smile.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" All of the kids screamed running away, except for the three year old who was terrified and just stood on the doorstep crying until his mother came over and picked him up. Teal'c was still smiling.
Daniel looked at Teal'c. "We'll work on that…" Daniel said walking away. He went over to Mitchell, who was dressed as a cowboy, with a brown hat and boots. "Nice hat." Daniel said.
"Thanks." Mitchell said.
"Be right back," Daniel said.
"Where does he keep going?" Mitchell asked Vala.
"All I can say is…he thinks I'M weird." Vala answered, a hint of a smile on her face. Mitchell laughed.
Five minutes later Daniel walked into the room.
"Oh…"
"Holy…"
"Wow…"
"…my…"
"...I...wow…."
"What the-"
"OHMYGOD!"
"…just….wow…"
"…God…"
"I mean…what the-"
"Ok…is it just me or have we done this before?" Jack asked. "Because I think we have…and it's getting kind of old."
"Yeah…I think you're right," Sam said, standing next to Jack.
Mitchell happened to reach up and touch his head. "Hey…where'd my hat go?" He turned around to see Daniel standing there. "Whoa, MAN! What did you do to my hat?"
"I spray painted it black!" Daniel cheerfully responded.
"With WHAT?" Sam asked.
"And when…?" Vala asked.
"That's not important. The important thing is whether or not you guys like my costume or not!"
Janet, passing by happened to see Daniel. "OOOOOOOOOO! Johnny Depp is so HOT! Nice costume Daniel!"
"Thank you!" Daniel, in his Captain Jack Sparrow costume, beamed. He seemed to be doing a lot of that tonight.
"So that's what you're supposed to be?" Sam asked.
"What's 'Captain Jack Sparrow?" Vala asked Teal'c, who shrugged.
"Isn't it obvious?" Daniel asked, in response to Sams comment.
"I…yeah, sure, whatever…" Sam said turning around and leaving.
"Well…I guess I can tell that you're a pirate…" Jack said, turning his head sideways.
"Thank, you!" Daniel said, and he too walked away. "I'm gonna go get more punch."
'Ding-dong'
"I believe I must go answer the door." Teal'c said.
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!' Everyone inside Sams house heard coming from the door.
"Teal'c!" Daniel yelled from the punch bowl. "Stop scaring the children!""I'm gonna go get a cookie." Mitchell said.
"What's a cookie?" Vala asked.
"Come on. I'll show you." Mitchell answered, and together they walked off.
"I guess I'll just…stand here…by myself…" Jack said to himself. He stood there for a moment, before he went out into the groups of people, looking for someone to talk to.
Argh! I am so sorry that I didn't get this out to you all like I promised! I know that I am probably going to need a little time to get the next chapter out because I have a bunch of midterms coming up this week and the first week of February.
There's a few more chapters that I have ideas for, so if you want me to continue please let me know.
I value your comments, and they motivate me to write more, and it makes me feel really guilty that I haven't had time to post for you when I remember those comments! Thank you for reviewing!
Please review!
