Card three in a white envelope sprinkled with shiny hearts was going to Ally Pendleton. Ally had fed and befriended him at a time when he thought he was going to die. Infested with an alien bug, Teal'c had taken refuge in an old building, only to be found be Ally. She'd alerted SG-1 who had come to bring him home. In return, Teal'c had used his friends at the SGC to find Ally a home as well. Now, she was training to be a nurse, and she had a “beside manner” that would have made Janet Frasier very proud. Ally wrote him regularly and he wrote back. Every summer she sent him a box of chocolate bars, and Teal'c sent her a new water gun. Every Valentine's Day he sent her a card and an invitation to dinner.
Card four, in a bright red envelope, was for Vala Maldoran. Vala, who shared the perplexities of her new world with him, complained loud and often about cultural references she didn't understand. He, in turn, commiserated with her about ridiculous television programs and corrupt politicians. Vala, however, had no trouble understanding Valentine's Day. As a matter of fact, she had decided early in her stay on Earth that Valentine's Day was made specifically for her. A day devoted to decadence, whimsy, and mating rituals appealed to her effervescent and sociable personality. No doubt his friend Daniel Jackson was hiding somewhere to avoid her romantic advances. He made a mental not to see if Daniel Jackson would be calling in sick on Valentine's Day-or perhaps he was scheduled to go off world, alone. Teal'c had scented his card with a splash of the aftershave Vala had given him after her trip to “the mall,” and he'd signed the card Muscles.
Card five, in the largest, brightest envelope Teal'c could find, was for one General Jack O'Neill, formerly of Stargate Command. Teal'c made sure, whenever possible, to send the cards to the homes of the recipients. Even the card for Vala he would mail and have delivered to her quarters here. But this one was purposely being sent to a place of employment. The card, with its extra postage and its gaudy design of hearts and flowers, would be sent to the Pentagon, an important building located in this nation's capital. Inside the card, Teal'c had enclosed pictures of Daniel Jackson, Cameron Mitchell, Sergeant Harriman, Colonel Ferretti, Sergeant Siler, and himself-each picture signed with a red heart and a wish for a very Happy Valentine's Day. He knew Samantha Carter and Vala Maldoran were sending a similar card. That would teach the man to leave SG-1 behind.
Well satisfied with his selections, he delivered his cards to the sergeant in charge of the mail and went to check his own mailbox. Perhaps there would be colored cards for him as well.

*snerk* Perfect! All of them are just perfect (love how you remembered Ally!), but No.5 is so... I can imagine smirks of the aides and the brass alike as that envelope is being delivered to Jack's office! (oh, look, is that a ficlet I see in there? *pats bunny*) :) Nicely done!
