Summary: Teal'c speaks and the team reacts. If I say anymore it'll spoil the story, if I haven't already.
Warnings: None. Unless of course you're allergic to laughing. If so, do not read this fic.
Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate or its characters. However the plot of this story is mine.
Feedback is welcome. No flames please. If you have any fic requests I'll be more than happy to give them a go.
Duck
One day in fall, SG-1 had some down time and decided to stroll through one of Colorado's National Parks.
After about an hour of walking they came across a field with a lake in it that seemed to be very popular among picnickers. There were quite a lot of people. As SG-1 walked along the path, they were completely unaware that at the beginning of the walk they had fallen into a familiar pattern. It was more habit than conscious thought. Jack at point, Sam and Daniel in the middle watching either side and Teal'c watching their six. Unbeknownst to the searchers of a place to sit down and eat, their walking formation was drawing attention here and there.
"Duck," Teal'c said suddenly from the back of the group.
Sam, Jack and Daniel all dropped instinctively to the ground on this word to hopefully avoid whatever was coming their way. This drew a lot of attention, as three people dropping suddenly to the ground would. Especially if you saw it or someone who saw it pointed it out to you or you noticed people staring at something and turned to see why.
Sam, Jack and Daniel all looked up at Teal'c questioningly. Jack gave Teal'c a look that said 'Well?'
Teal'c looked down at his three friends and raised an eyebrow, which from the ground appeared to disappear under his cap.
"I'm sorry," he began "Is that not the correct terminology for that particular species of water fowl?"
The three team mates turned their heads to look at the lake. Sure enough there were several dozen ducks. At that exact moment, three ducks landed in front of them and gave them what must have been the bird equivalent of a puzzled stare.
'Quack, quack.' One of the ducks said and the three ducks walked away.
The three team mates let out an exasperated sigh. They rose to their feet and dusted themselves off. Sam and Daniel walked off looking rather ticked off and embarrassed, each mumbling something about how they could swear that Teal'c did that on purpose, how bad the Jaffa's sense of humour was and how best to get revenge.
Jack glanced around the area, only a few people were still watching, the rest having gone back to their lunch.
The Colonel placed one hand on Teal'c's shoulder, closed his eyes, hung his head and let out a deep sigh all in one fluid motion.
"Yes, Teal'c, it is."
Teal'c's eyebrow rose again as he wondered if he would ever truly understand the Tau'ri.
A/N: Feedback is welcome. Constructive criticism is welcome. Flames are NOT. If anyone has a fic request, and would like me to give it a go, send it my way and I'll see what I can do.
