Why This Must Be Read: In this fun, short story, Aurora takes a bit of dialogue from Smoke and Mirrors and runs with it:
Jonas: "How'd you learn to drive?"
Teal'c: "It was Daniel Jackson that instructed me."
Jonas: "When was that?"
Teal'c: "I believe the year was 1969."
Of course, teaching a Jaffa used to flying spaceships how to use a creaky stick shift might be more complicated than you think...
Filled with light team touches and good humor, Driving Lessons will leave you with a smile on your face.
So that's how Daniel ended up teaching Teal'c to drive. After all, it was his idea in the first place. He and Teal'c had taught each other languages. They had a good dynamic in those roles.
Unfortunately, teaching the mechanics of driving was not the same as comparing the alphabets of Linear A and Goa'uld dialects.
They had told Michael and Jenny that Teal'c was from Africa as a way to explain his ignorance of some cultural faux pas...like the war with Canada. It also gave Daniel an excuse to talk to Teal'c in his native "African" tongue. It helped in some respects, but in other ways, not at all. Daniel quickly realized there was no word in the Jaffa language for "gently". Jaffa did nothing half-way. Teal'c's movements were quick, sharp and always forceful.
Daniel had to bite his lip to stop from jumping every time Teal'c got a bit too aggressive with the controls. As it was, he said "kree" probably more often than was necessary, trying to ignore Jack's knowing chuckle from the back.
