Alone, and no one to play with. Vala was feeling sorry for herself. Two empty bowls of ice cream still sat on the table and a full cup of blue Jell-O waiting to be eaten. With a long loud sigh, she stared unseeing across the room.

A flash of green caught her attention from the corner of her eye.

"Hey." The flash of green said sitting across from her.

"Jack! Oh, I mean Gen O'Neill and all that military stuff that goes with it." Vala grinned, happy for the company.

"Jack is fine, what 'cha doing?"

"Being excessively bored." Vala stared at the uneaten Jell-O.

"Yeah, me too." Jack took the Jell-O from in front of her and began to eat. "Where's Daniel?" he asked around the mouthful of food.

"Where's Sam?" she countered, sarcastically.

The sarcasm was lost on him. "Locked in her lab, where else? And Daniel?"

She simply shrugged her shoulders.

"They all left you alone? Well, I mean… not that you shouldn't be… like you're nuts or something……" he ate the Jell-O to shut himself up.

"Why are you here?" She chose to ignore his ridiculous comments.

A blue Jell-O cube hovered at his mouth. "Now why does everybody ask me that?"

"Because you don't actually work here?"

"Maybe." He finished the bite and took another. "I have important business here."

Her eyes darted to the Jell-O then back to him. "Hmm, I see."

"I'm waiting to see Landry, Miss Smarty Pants."

"Landry?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Not Samantha?"

He nearly choked on the bite in his mouth. "I see all my friends when I'm here."

Now she was having a good time! "That's not what I heard."

He sat the spoon on the table, the last cube of Jell-O still on it, "What?!" He did that double take shake of his head.

Vala twirled a pigtail, eyes wide in innocence.

Jack stared at her with intent. "I guess you're one of those around here that's in with the gossip click."

"Oh, I wouldn't say that." She leaned conspiratorially forward. "I heard it from Daniel. Oh, and Teal'."

Jack looked at his watch. "I have a meeting with Landry."

"Of course you do. And I have a meeting with Sam in her lab…I'll tell her you said hello."

As Jack left in a huff, Vala rubbed her hands together, stretched her arms out wide and grinned happily.
