Author’s notes: written for Annie, aka
control_freak80 who wanted: #1: I'd like silly friendship fic, preferably set on Earth, off base. Wacky hijinks are always welcome.
or #2: Date interrupted - how many times did Sam and Daniel have to reschedule/cancel dates before they finally got to go on a "real date" earth side? Really, anything showing the two of them having trouble getting off base for a date would be great.
She got, silly friendship fic, and wacky hijinks, with a short mention of off base activity. I hope it’s okay.

Daniel gave me a birthday cupcake today, made of red velvet and cream cheese icing. It would be sweet if today was my birthday, but it isn’t. My birthday was three months ago and he knows that, having been at the party. So I’m very suspicious of this gesture.
***
Monday, 0930 hours.
I still haven’t touched the cupcake. God only knows what Daniel did to it. He may look sweet and innocent, but he has a very devious mind. After all, he is the one who convinced Jack that Teal’c has a crush on him.

I’m glaring at the cupcake right now, and yes, I know that’s ridiculous. But it’s maliciously taunting me with its seemingly perfect appearance. It looks so very moist and delicious, yet I know it must be part of one of Daniel’s fiendish plots.

Damn it! Daniel knows how much I love red velvet cake. So maybe he didn’t do anything to it. Maybe it is actually just a delicious, sinful, red velvet cake. But what if he tampered with it? What if the center is full of cayenne pepper? Or worse, butterscotch pudding!
Well, I refuse to fall for it. After all, I still remember that thing with the duck!

But it’s red velvet cake!

Monday, 1015 hours
Okay Sam, you’ve got to be strong! You can resist temptation. Just remember how thoroughly evil Daniel is! You know that you’ll be playing into his hands if you even think about touching that red velvet cake, so don’t even think about it! You hear me Sam?

Monday, 1017 hours
Damn, he has me talking to myself now. Before you know it, I’ll be arguing with myself. Which just proves what I’ve always known - Daniel will drive me crazy one of these days.

Monday, 1030 hours
Jack just came in.
“You going to eat that?”
Meaning the red velvet cupcake Daniel gave me.
“No.”
“Can I have it?”
“Sure, why not?”
He ate it. Made happy humming noises as he ate it. He even licked his lips!
“Damn, that was good! Oh! By the way, happy third birthday, the team wouldn’t be the same without you.”
And he walked out.
Damn, it! Daniel did it to me again! I’ll get back at him for this!

I hate Daniel! He’s cruel and sadistic and just plain mean! He actually smirked at me as he bragged about the trick he played on me. Boasting that he knew I wouldn’t touch the cupcake.
He’s going down!

Monday, 1200 hours
I left a “report” on Daniel’s desk which supposedly detailed some obscure Jaffa rituals. Including one in which you can show your deep respect for a fellow tribe member by offering to polish their head. Now, I just have to wait and see if he bites.
***
Monday, 1215 hours
I can’t wait to see how Teal’c will react when Daniel offers to polish his head. I bet it’ll be fun to see.
Teal’c will be confused and try to fend Daniel off, but Daniel will try to insist. Eventually, Teal’c will just stand and walk away, leaving Daniel feeling awkward and embarrassed. Then my revenge will be complete!

Daniel has a white towel and is headed towards Teal’c now! He’s talking to him and gesturing toward the towel and Teal’c’s head. It looks as if my plan is working ... wait a minute. Teal’c is bowing his head.
Daniel is unfolding his towel ... he’s using it on Teal’c’s head. Teal’c is almost grinning. He’s actually letting Daniel polish his head. It’s just not fair!
***
Monday, 1240 hours
Now they’re talking about something. Daniel is bowing to Teal’c and headed my way...
***
Monday, 1245 hours
He shook the towel in my face and did a victory dance!
***
Monday, 1250 hours
I hate him.
***
Monday, 1300 hours
Teal’c won’t let me polish his head. Says that “Daniel Jackson has already polished it.”
***
Monday, 1500 hours
There’s a weird rumor going around that Teal’c has asked Daniel to go out bowling with him. Supposedly because Teal’c believes it is “a true challenge.” And a way to thank Daniel for polishing his head.
***
Monday, 1515 hours
Okay, the rumor has grown. Now people are saying that Jack and General Hammond are going to join Teal’c and Daniel for a game.
***
Monday, 1530 hours
Now it’s just getting ridiculous. People are saying that there are two teams now and a betting pool. Everyone I’ve talked to is insisting that Teal’c and the others are actually going to go bowling. But, Teal’c bowling?
Daniel has to be the one to have started this rumor. Well, if he thinks I’ll fall for it and actually show up at the Bowlarama to check it out, he’d better think again!
***
Monday, 1545 hours
I won’t even place a bet in the office pool.
***
Monday, 1555 hours
I put fifty cents on Teal’c to win.
***
Monday, 1930 hours
Okay, so I’m going to the Bowlarama after saying that I wouldn’t. It’s just ... I just have to see for myself if it’s true. If it is I’ll get to see Teal’c bowling. If not, at least I’ll be in good company since it seems that half the office is going.
***
Monday, 2000 hours
I’m here.
***
Monday 2300 hours
Everyone yelled, “Surprise!” Just as I stepped in the door. It was a surprise celebration of my working for SG-1 for three years.
Jack gave one of his speeches. Teal’c let me polish his head. There were lots of presents and a huge red velvet cake. All apparently arranged by Daniel. It’s in moments like this that I love him.
There was even bowling.
Teal’c won.
The odds of him winning were fifty to one. I cleaned up.
***
Monday, 2330 hours
I’ve decided to forgive Daniel for what happened this morning.
***
Tuesday, 0700 hours
I’ll treat myself with coffee from Milt’s Coffee Shop this morning, with some of the money I won.
***
Tuesday, 0800 hours
There’s a duck on my desk.
A real live duck.
And it’s scattered my reports everywhere.
There’s duck shit on my desk.
And chair.
And floor.
***
Tuesday, 0815 hours
Have I ever told you how much I hate Daniel?
***
Tuesday, 0900 hours
I made Daniel clean up the mess and get the reports back in order. He looked a bit scared of me, but only because I threatened him a little.
***
Tuesday, 0930 hours
Teal’c put the duck on my desk this time. Says its because he didn’t have a gift for me last night as he didn’t know it was expected and that he had heard that I like ducks.
***
Tuesday, 0945 hours
I’ve apologized to Daniel for threatening him and for making him clean up my office. He told me, “Don’t worry, that’s what friends are for.” And gave me an origami crane to sit on my desk, which was really sweet of him.
***
Tuesday, 1000 hours
Daniel might be one of the best friends I’ve ever had and the annoying little brother I never wanted, but I just don’t trust him. Which makes me wonder what he’s up to now.
I’ll have to watch my back.
