Flying Monkeys and Little Dogs Too

Everyone was in Colonel Carter's lab not doing anything except for catching up. They had been through the wringer on the last mission. Colonel Mitchell's fault no less.

They arrived to see a group of natives, all male. Carter was familiar with this scenario and had suggested that she return through the gate and send a replacement. Daniel as well as teal'c thought this was a reasonable and good idea, yet Mitchell rebuked it, claiming that they couldn't possibly be so misogynistic. Daniel scoffed, and Teal'c knowing that Mitchell's inexperience wouldn't allow him to heed their advice, strayed closer to Carter.

Carter was annoyed and just remained in the background letting Daniel and the 'Sg-1' commander deal with the diplomacy. Idly talking with Teal'c, Carter took off her standard issue hat and ran her hand through her hair.

One of the natives took notice, one thing lead to another and the team ended up running back to the gate, making it through with a botched mission. After the debriefing, everyone was filing out and as Daniel passed Mitchell, he commented.

"I told you so."

---Back in Carter's lab---

A laugh was shared between the three, well two. Teal'c was confused as to what was so amusing. He had just watched "Lord of the Rings" and didn't understand why Frodo was so quirky and clumsy if he was the protagonist.

Mitchell came in with a smile on his face. "So what's so funny kids?"

The laughter stopped and all of a sudden, Carter turned in his direction.

"Seriously Cam, what the hell is up with you and those damn expressions? 'Kids'? That's ridiculous, we're all around the same age, and you and I same rank. Last time I checked Colonel O'Neill was promoted and is in Washington. So whatever you are doing, trying to fit in by acting like Jack, it's completely not working. It's just annoying."

After this sudden outburst Carter tried to soften the situation without apologizing. "Sorry, but that's the truth."

Mitchell looked around and saw Daniel and Teal'c nodding in agreement.

"I told you so." Daniel repeated.

((I tried to make something humorous…but it didn't turn out as humorous as it was in my head. IDK. I obviously don't like Cam and that was fairly evident…Oh and the title. There was a few references to wizard of oz when sg-1 consisted of Sam, Jack, Daniel and Teal'c. You know, the team before the show started going downhill?))
