Disclaimer: Nothing of Stargate belongs to me! Um... it's a short disclaimer because... well... you guys probably know everything already and I'm too lazy to make it longer.
Author's Note: This is just a short piece set in Season 8. I don't know why in the world I wrote this... maybe it was because class was utterly, utterly boring. Anyway, this () means it's Jack's thoughts and this (()) means it's Daniel's thoughts.
Jack's Message to the Man
Jack walked into the crowded room. Instantly, the noise level dropped a few levels. Well, let's just say everything went dead silent. People almost jumped out of Jack's way as he walked by.
(What is up with this?)
He stopped by the coffee machine. There was only one cup left.
(Excellent... Mr. Burns-like)
Before he could grab it, a hand shot out and whisked it away.
(D'oh!)
"D'oh!"
Daniel looked up from the cup, "Hey Jack! How's it going?"
(Don't 'Hey Jack' me after you steal my damn coffee!)
"Peachy... Just peachy..."
"Really? You don't seem that way."
(Ya think? Coffee stealer!!!)
"Ya think?"
Daniel glanced around, "Why is everyone so... quiet?"
"They're afraid of me..." Jack whispered.
"Afraid? Of you? Why?" Daniel said as he filled his cup with coffee.
(Damn straight! I'm the General now! THE man... Aw crap, I just called myself the man...)
"Jack!"
(Maybe I said it cuz he stole the coffee...)
"What!" Jack shouted.
He was a little too loud, for he startled a group of scientists who were cowering in a corner.
"Are you even listening?"
(Listening? Why should I listen to anyone when no one talks to me! I'm just the boss... That doesn't mean I'm not cool anymore...)
"Y'know what? Take the coffee! That's right! Good job Danny boy, stick it to the man! I'm proud that in all those years, you've actually learned something from me—Stick it to the man!"
(Stick it to the man!)
He ran up to random people spreading his message: "Stick-it-to-the-man!"
He continued to do this until he got out of the room and into the halls.
Daniel shook his head.
((He does know that he is 'the man'... doesn't he?))
Yet again: Author's Note: BTW, it was kind of based on Jack's comment after he found out he was getting promoted and he was discussing it with the team. If you finished the story and still don't know which quote I'm talking about, it's okay.
