I had a really hard time with this one because I just couldn't see Daniel watching anything that didn't have to do with magic. So I ran ideas by my sister and she found this one the funniest, so this is the one I stuck with haha :) Of course, then she made fun of me cause this is what I watch if I have the TV...

Rainy Day Marathon (Part Three)

Rainy Day Two—Daniel

The day after the Supernatural marathon it rained once more and so they drew straws again, this time leaving Henley out. Daniel won the short straw and quickly ran up to his room to go through his DVD collections. He didn't have many—there wasn't much outside of magic that he was really into—and he seriously considered just grabbing the computer and pulling up the latest episode of Penn and Teller: Fool Us but he figured the rest of the Horsemen would have a fit because of the magic, and so he finally, after much deliberation, picked one that had absolutely nothing to do with magic.

He hurried downstairs to where the others were waiting and put the DVD in the player, hiding what it was from prying eyes—in other words, Jack and Merritt. They sat in the same seats as before and once again Daniel had to force Jack to move his legs.

"A documentary on Ancient Egypt?" Henley asked when the title menu popped up. "Seriously?"

"What?" Daniel defended. "It's fascinating!"

"Yes," Merritt said with a roll of his eyes. "Because nothing says fascinating like a bunch of sand and mummies."

"This is your favorite TV show?" Jack asked skeptically.

"No," Daniel replied honestly. "That's Penn and Teller: Fool Us but I don't have those yet so Ancient Egypt it is!"

"Seriously?" Henley asked again.

"Shush." Daniel hissed. "It's starting."

"Egypt. A land of sand and history. A land so long buried in the sands of time…"

"Wake me when it's over." Merritt interrupted loudly, leaning back in his chair and pulling his hat over his eyes.

Daniel sent a glare his direction, before turning back to the documentary. So it was a bit geeky, but it was interesting. He had grown up on documentaries like these and some of his favorite memories were of sitting in the living room with his brother and father and watching hour after hour of documentaries ranging from Ancient Egypt to World War II. Ignoring the bored-out-of-their-minds looks that Jack and Henley sent him, he settled into the couch and got comfortable.

~~~~~~~~~One Hour Later~~~~~~~~~

"Just gets better every time!" Daniel exclaimed as the credits for the episode began to roll.

All he received in reply where grunts. Henley was half-asleep, though not entirely. It had been interesting, she would admit, but not the way she would choose to spend a rainy day. Jack was sprawled out on the floor, his head resting against the seat cushion. He was fast asleep and Daniel slapped him across the head, waking him up quickly with a little yelp. He glared up at Daniel and rubbed the back of his head.

"Finally." Merritt mumbled, lifting his hat and sitting up. "How long has it been? Five months?"

"It wasn't that bad." Henley decided to try and defend Daniel's choice of entertainment.

Merritt and Jack just gave her a look and she shrugged in return. Daniel eagerly grabbed the remote, completely missing—or just not caring—the looks of extreme boredom his friends were sending him.

"This second part is my favorite!" He announced, skipping to the next episode.

The other three just groaned.
