Summary: Team night! And the guys are merry
Info: This one is a challenge response for SSD. Thank you Marah for her speedy beta! Oh, and in my mind, Jack and Daniel are always my OTP!

Daniel watched avidly as Sam poured him another tall glass of the fruity fizzy cocktail. The bubbles swirled in the blue liquid, creating a mesmerising optical effect - well, mesmerising to anyone who was already three sheets to the wind, that is!

"Oh god, Carter," Jack balked again, pulling a face and rolling his eyes. "Th-that's just dig..disgusting! Who drinks blue booze?!"

"Shurrup, ssssir... s'good stuff is this!" Sam countered with a giggle when a piece of lemon wedge plopped into the glass with a splash.

"It is most satisfying, O'Neill, sweet and nutritious," Teal'c informed the inebriated colonel.

"Ah, that's 'cause you..you're..." Jack sloppily waved his hand at Teal'c's glass. "No alcol-acol... al-co-hol in it. Hardly nuti..nurit..nustr.. Hardly good for you if it's got alco'l innit!"

"Cheers, guys!" Daniel piped in with a long swig of his fizzy blue drink. He swallowed, belched for good measure, and chuckled.

"Wan' some, sir?" Sam asked, sloshing the jug in his general direction, then thinking better of it and re-filling her own glass.

"Um, tha' would be a no, Carter. I'll stick wi' my whicky, um, mean whisssskey," Jack nodded, and picked up a bottle from the floor without looking.

Daniel laughed. "Th-that's not whiskey... s'more sugar in tha' than in a sugar bowl! Bleughhhh!" He pulled a face, and then grabbed the bottle off Jack and opened it. "Mmmm ac-actually, smell's nice. Wan' some, Sam?"

Jack watched in morbid fascination as Daniel poured some of the honey liqueur he'd picked up into Sam's blue drink, and then into his own.

"Mmmm, ya know what?" Sam mused with a thoughtful lop-sided grin. "This makes me hungry. You hungry?" she asked the guys.

"Oooo yeah, I could eat," Daniel said, licking his lips. Jack's eyes focussed on that pink tongue and he licked his own hungrily.

"Yeah, me too," Jack murmured as he downed a mouthful of whiskey.

"Teal'c?" Sam said. She stood up unsteadily and flopped back down, falling about laughing at herself.

"I, too, could eat, Samantha Carter, however, I think it would be wise if I go prepare the repast," Teal'c suggested. Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson were in no state to go near any kitchen implements.

"Nah, s'okay, Big Guy, I'll whip us up a batch of pansk..pancas.. ya know!" Jack decided and promptly fell on his butt as soon as he attempted to stand. "Oh, shhhhit... M'legs don' work!"

The Jaffa raised an amused eyebrow at his team mates as all three leaned against each other and laughed until they cried. It was indeed good to see them happy. He smiled to himself and went to the kitchen to make double chocolate chip pancakes. He had seen the recipe prepared on the television and was interested to see if he could recreate it, complete with whole chocolate chips.
