Improviso Jackson
Tonight was supposed to have been a stargazing night, just Jack, Danny, and the telescope on the roof. Unfortunately, the weather decided not to cooperate, so instead of clear skies and distant stars, they had torrential downpours, booming thunder, and brilliant flashes of lightning.
"Thor's fighting the Ettins!" Danny exclaimed, nose pressed to the glass of the deck door.
"Ettins?" Jack asked. "You mean the Goa'uld?"
Danny scrunched his face. "I guess so. He's throwing lightning bolts, and every time you hear the thunder boom, another Ettin falls down!"
Jack tried to picture the diminutive Asgard hurling a spear of lightning at Apophis, and it was all he could do to keep from cracking up. If he did, Danny would think he was laughing at him, and Jack was helpless against the out-thrust lower lip. There was no telling what promises he'd make to get that pout to disappear!
"When I was a kid," he began, "my dad used to tell me thunder was caused by angels bowling in heaven, and lightning was when they hit the pins."
Danny cocked his head to one side, pursing his lips as he thought furiously. "I have an idea!" he exclaimed, and dashed off to his room. He emerged shortly, arms loaded down with a small notepad, a marker, a fistful of rubber bands, and the plastic bowling set Teal'c bought him at Toys-R-Us. Intrigued, Jack watched while his miniature genius carefully wrote on several sheets of his notepad, tore them out, and used rubber bands to fasten the sheets to the pins from his set.
Finally, Danny set up the pins and handed Jack the bowling ball. "Let's bowl for Ettins!" he declared.
Laughing at his kid's ingenuity, Jack lined up the ball on the pin labeled "Ra" and let it roll.
