Talent Show

Chapter 3

Daniel Jackson was extremely bored. He didn't know what was wrong with him but there was nothing left to do in his office.

And Daniel was lost without his agenda of things to catalogue and translate but it was a slow week… month and what work he did have progressed so quickly which left him here, meandering through the dull grey corridors of the SGC. And so one foot in front of the other he twisted and sauntered down familiar halls and eventually found himself at the infirmary.

It was completely devoid of life (and death thankfully) not a soul was injured and hooked up to the brand new heart monitor because the old had broken down with over use. Even the good doctor's office was completely empty.

Daniel sighed quietly.

It was here the thought that he was not so unlike Jack that hit him.

Glancing down he noticed his hands had found their way to his trouser pockets.

Oh for crying ou…

Speaking of Jack.

Daniel turned on his heel and headed towards the lab of his fellow scientist on SG-1, knowing that if Janet wasn't here she was probably with Sam.

When he arrived at the door he could hear copious amounts of laughter and giggles coming from beyond the wooden barrier – definitely Janet and Sam he thought entering.

"Hey." He said moving in to the room.

He moved closer as the women tried to calm their giggles, he ended up standing next to Janet and leaning on to the high work surface obviously bored.

"You bored Daniel?" asked Janet.

"Yeah, how'd you guess?" he said doing that adorable grin thing he does so well.

"Well, we think the general has the same condition and thought of an interesting was to cure it," said Sam handing over the piece of paper, only now realising the two doctors were having one of their little 'moments'.

Without either of them noticing she rolled her eyes and made a small tutting noise.

"A Talent Show?" he said with much scepticism, glancing at the paper.

"That's what I said!" said Sam.

"Well I hope you don't expect me to be the team representative I'm not doing anything in front of the ENTIRE SGC!" said Daniel.

"Well Janet, care to explain?" Sam asked of her best friend.

"Sam's going to sing!" she squealed. "And Cassie and I are going to be her backing singers."

"You're going to sing?" Daniel asked staring at Sam as if she were a really, really weird alien.

"Apparently. Janet here put my name down without even consulting me so I'm tied into it now!" she said, "I don't even know what I'm singing!"

"My house, 7 o'clock, and we'll start rehearsing." Said Janet as if issuing a challenge.

Sam agreed with a nod.

"Can me and Teal'c come along?" asked Daniel, "You are representing SG-1."

Janet seemed to consider it, then eventually agreed. Sam on the other hand was already back staring at her wall.

"Oh look, Orion."
