i've been through the desert on a deer with six legs

by alessandriana

"Is that a deer with six legs?" Cameron asked, canting his head at an angle. His voice was somewhat slurred. "Because it sure looks like one to me."

Sam patted him comfortingly on the leg, and turned to look at Daniel and Teal'c. "Definitely a concussion," she said.

"No, I'm serious!" Cam protested, waving a hand around vaguely in the air. "It's right over there!"

Sam turned to look, just to humor him. And what did you know. It was a deer with six legs. "What do you know," she said. "It is a deer with six legs."

"Told you so!" Cameron crowed.

Daniel took a step towards the creature, a hand half-raised, and, startled at the motion, the deer fled back into the forest. Daniel stopped, and shrugged, dropping his hand as he turned back to the rest of the team. "Must not be used to people," he said.

Teal'c crouched down in front of Cameron and peered closely at his pupils, one of which was larger than the other. "In any event, you still have a concussion, ColonelMitchell," he said. "Whether it was a six legged deer or not."

Sam laughed, and hooked one of Cameron's arms over her shoulder. Daniel took his other side. Teal'c took point.

"Come on, let's get home," Sam said, and they started off down the path.
