December 17th - Santa's Elf
"Stop twitching, Jackson," Mitchell muttered. "Sharks are drawn to motion just as much as they are the scent of blood."
Glaring at his teammate, Daniel tried not to fidget, but he was getting more and more uncomfortable by the minute. "I'm going to kill Teal'c."
As the undisputedly oldest person currently living on Earth, Teal'c declared his intention to play Santa at the Christmas party held for the children of the SGC's civilian and military personnel. He then volunteered the other members of SG-1 to portray the rest of Santa's entourage.
Sam made for a cute Mrs. Claus. Vala looked positively un-angelic in her robe and wings. Cameron and Daniel were stuck as a matching pair of blue-eyed, brown-haired, six foot tall elves, and like all good Christmas elves, they wore short tunics belted at the waist and red-and-green tights.
Another military wife let her hand stray a little too close to his backside as she walked past, and Daniel turned toward his fellow victim. He was selfishly pleased to note that Mitchell's face was about as red as his felt.
"Think we can corner him in the parking lot?" Mitchell growled through his clenched teeth.
Author's Notes:
The Real World kept me hopping yesterday, so I didn't have much time to sit in front of the computer. Here's yesterday's prompt today. (And today's prompt will follow shortly thereafter... I actually finished it before this one.)
