Summary: Jack is freaking out about a birthday. A double drabble.

Jack clipped Owen on his way rushing past. 'Oi!' Owen grumbled, ignored completely as Jack was already well out of earshot. He turned on his teammates. 'Would someone please hold him down long enough for me to get a tranquilizer into him?' Each of them gave him a look in reply that said they wouldn't take the chance of being the one to try and tell Jack he was overreacting.

'Would you calm down, Harkness!' Owen yelled when he flew past again.

'No time, Owen. Gotta get these things sedated. They're right on the cusp of turning thirteen. Don't you understand how bad that is?'

'Pimples and bad taste in music?'

'Way worse. Full sexual maturity. These things will have only one purpose and that is to have sex with anything and everything in order to reproduce.'

'Sounds like you'd get on famously.'

'It's not me I'm worried about. It's you.'

'Me? Sorry, but I've seen them and I wouldn't shag one even if you paid me.'

'I won't have to. It excretes the most powerful pheromones anywhere in the universe. None of you will be able to help yourselves.'

Owen sighed. 'Great. Just when we thought you were bad.'

Jack seldom panics without a very good reason.
