Thank ya all for the reviews I'm really smashed that it's not just me who enjoys the story :D!
Disclaimer in first chap...Warnings aside from those in first chap: beware Twister is indeed a dangerous game! A friend of mine managed to brake his arm during playing Twister...but maybe the source of the problem was that 5 ppl played at one time LOL.
Spoilers: mentioning of the infamous 'that made you took off your...' line
------ The Amazing Flying Pillows ------
Daniel was tucked in with a bowl in leaning range if needed and a glass of water with a box of Aspirin for later.
Jack was craving for some fun and the contently snoring archeologist looked like the perfect victim for his evil plans.
"How 'bout puttin' his hand into some water?" He asked Sam and Teal'c who looked less than trilled by his ideas. "Ooookay, than some shaving foam on his hand? Ooh boy, oh boy" he bounced up and down giving emphasis to his enthusiasm, "I know a betta one shaving his leg!" When he saw the impassive looks of his comrades he carried on hoping to convince them that it would be indeed fun. "Ya right, we wear BDUs so his leg is not a good idea...uuh, I got it! His eyebrows! We gonna shave down his eyebrows." After he introduced his crazy idea he started to giggle at his own stupid plan which was a bit weird but Jack O'Neill was weird in his basic mode and now he was tipsy which meant wackier than normally.
"Colonel, stop being a kid, will ya?" Sam tried to stop Jack's Siberian express (train :P) of thought which seemed to go on an endless track.
"I believe O'Neill is incapable of what you wish Major Carter."
"I'm not childish!" Jack protested but the looks the two other adult gave him said the exact opposite of what he wanted them to think. "Hey! Me. CO. Leader. The one ya should all respect. Got it?" Sam and Teal'c just looked at each other, shared a private smile and then left a baffled Jack behind who was still grumbling about insubordination.
Jack found Sam and Teal'c in the living room watching Star Trek DS9.
"Oh, Christ how many times have I told ya not to watch this!" He whined from the doorway instantly turning his back on the TV. Sam giggled evilly and gave a high-five to Teal'c.
"Really, sir. It's ridiculous and you know that too" Sam managed to say between her hysterical giggling fit because Jack was glued to the spot not willing to turn a notch till they switched the channel.
"They look scary, okay? It's disgusting, Carter! Turn it off!" Jack tried to order his major but she and Teal'c had other ideas about it.
"But siiiir, the doc looks so cute" Sam squeaked like a teen girl.
"And I believe the character of Jadzia Dax is a hot chick too" Teal'c added and this was enough for Sam to change from giggling to laughing so hard that breathing got a bit difficult and tears came to her eyes.
"Hot chick?" In a split second Jack jumped on the sofa next to Sam and tried to shut his eyes when the soooo scary klingon appeared on the screen. The man was capable of facing the whole galaxy full of strange looking aliens but he was afraid of some imaginary race with smashed foreheads. Did I mention Jack being weird?
When the episode ended Jack clasped his hands together upon standing up and asked, "So, Kids, what's on today?"
"Twister?" Sam offered and her face broke into a huge grin at Jack's horrified expression.
"Nooo. No way we will play that stupid game again!"
"You are just saying this because Teal'c beat you in the final, sir."
"Yeah well he did. Literally. Carter, my wrist bone cracked, you remember?"
"Well it happens when a big guy like Teal'c falls on you. It's simple physics, " when Jack rolled his eyes and turned to go after Teal'c running away from techno babble which Sam tend to do even more when being tipsy. "But you are right sir, Janet would have a laughing fit if we would go in again with your cracked wrist bone and Daniel's cracked ribs." This eventually stopped Jack. "Aaaand without a picture of it."
"Teal'c plays nasty" Jack tried to defend himself.
Meanwhile the Jaffa came back with a fizzy in one hand and cheesy puffs in the other, "Indeed, I am. The aim of the game is to win, O'Neill. It is not my fault that you are too weak to challenge me."
"Yeah, we inferior Tau'ri."
"Indeed." The big jaffa bowed his head in approval with total seriousness then went to sit down prepared for a long debate of what they would do. He just couldn't figure the silly humans who insisted on spontaneity without the ability of being spontaneous.
"Hey, T, you don't have to agree with me on this."
"But I do, O'Neill."
"Okay, enough of jaffa humor. Back to the 'what now' part."
"I told you O'Neill that we should have watched Star Wars."
"Again."
"Indeed."
"Okay, Carter, useful ideas you pull out from your...hat?"
Sam looked as if she was about to solve the cosmic question of the universe then said, "nope, nothing, yada."
"I should be happy that finally your brain is empty. But ya know that doesn't help us that much. So Winnie-the-Poohs, think!"
"How 'bout Monopoly?" Sam spoke up and the answer was two loud groans from the men sitting on both sides' of her.
"No way! You gonna win again. Dontcha humiliated us enough in that game?"
"Well, sir, any other idea?" Sam challenged him and he really seemed to fall into a deep thinking process even standing up and pacing a bit than sitting down in an armchair opposite of the sofa.
"Strip poker?" Evil. Plain evil. The whole 'pretending to be thinking just to be able to sit as far as he could not to get physically abused by one pretty angry major' plan now had been revealed to Sam. She threw a pillow at him but he was still fast enough to raise his hand and catch the flying object before it could have had a deep impact on his face. Sam was not born yesterday and knew that he would be able to avoid the first wave of attack but not the second one and she was right the second pillow hit him square in the face. "Bulls eye!"
"Okay. Okay. Got the message. No strip poker." He rubbed his not even hurting nose dramatically, acting the hurt little lost human but his next sentence give him away and ruined his pretty carefully built image, "Then truth or dare?" Evil to the bones. He was playing with her patience like a violin.
Teal'c as an observer was enjoying the whole scene of course thanking for the jaffa facial expressions he learned as a little kid that they could not see him internally grinning. He had to admit the last time they played that stupid Tau'ri game it was fun until Major Carter decided to go with dare and Daniel asked her to take off a piece of her undergarments without taking anything else off. It took all Jack's willpower to put an end to the game there and then even though he was damn interested and tipsy but Sam was thoroughly drunk and it didn't seem right.
While Jack was reminiscing about the same thing Teal'c did his dreamily expression quickly was wiped off by yet another pillow. "Right, Major, that calls for war!" And a nasty pillow fight started not minding the borders of neutral countries (Teal'c coz he was even big enough to be considered as a country). So all hell broke out with the First Pillow War.
TBCAN: Usta be a DS9 fan as you might figured. Doc Bashir (Alexander Siddig el Faddih) is a great actor and he proved it in Syriana...in my opinion :P
