Talent Show

Chapter 2

Sam was bored.

The desks in her room were clear of all tools, wires, doohickies and papers; the entire room having been organised three times in the last two days. And after sorting everything in every possible way she had now resorted to staring at the flashing lights on the instruments that took up the entire length of one side of the room. she could swear on several occasions that she'd seen star constellations in those blinking lights. And after an hour she had one and a half gate addresses.

It was only after she completed the second address did she begin to think that the universe/galaxy or even the world should need saving by now.

The sound of rushing footsteps and someone calling her name as they ran down the hall had Sam slightly regretting her last thoughts, only slightly. So she sat and waited.

She was mildly surprised to see Janet come running into her lab.

Well it wasn't exactly running, she came clicking in with her arms waving about and one of them holding on to an extremely bright coloured piece of paper.

Thankfully Sam noted that the presence Janet's smile and twinkling mischievous eyes could only mean that the world was defiantly not coming to an end.

"Sam! Sam!" she called.

"Janet! Janet!" replied Sam's voice filled with fake excitement.

"Really, you're that bored, well I think that I've got just the thing to cheer you up!"

The waving arm holding the piece of paper became still as the pink flyer came to rest on top of the two gate addresses that Sam had sketched.

It said in bold black letters:

SGC TALENT SHOW!

NEXT TUESDAY!

REPORT ALL ACTS TO SGT. HARRIMAN

note: one act expected for each SG team.

"A Talent show?" said Sam a little bewildered.

"Yes."

"So what are you doing?"

"Backing singer; Cassie and I." she said proudly as the mischievous glint became more evident with the presence of an evil grin.

"Oh right," said Sam still looking at the flyer, "sounds like fun."

"Glad you think so," said the petite doctor, "because you are going to lead."

"What?"

"You are going to sing lead vocals."

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are."

"Not!"

"Are!"

"Not!"

"Are!"

"Not!"

"Are!"

"Not!"

"Well your name is already signed up."

"Janet!" she cried.

"Sam!" she replied with a look that said that the biggest brain under the mountain is defiantly not going to find her way out of this one.

"You're terrible you know that!" said Sam with her eyes smiling.

"Oh don't say that now you don't even know what you're singing."

"Ok now I'm really worried!" she said, "Janet what the hell have you got me into?"

Sam now began really wishing that the world was in dire need of saving, or if it would do a favour and save her for a change - but alas no crack in the earths surface appeared to swallow her whole so her fate was sealed.
