Jack, once again, was bored. He had already been kicked out of what he privately called the button room. He had been look at all the switches and well, this one was shinny, and had both green and orange lights flashing beside it. After sticking a happy face sticker (that he had stolen from Cassie a few weeks previously) onto the end of the switch, he decided to flick the switch. He then realized what it did: it turned all of the lights on level 24 off.

Seeing as how he wasn't on level 24, he left the switch down. While he was about to leave the room, a technician finished talking on the phone. The techie hurried to turn the switch back on, and chose to yell at Jack (politely of course).

After being lectured on the dangers of turning off the lights, Jack stormed off, moving completely silently; a black cloud that was getting ready to break if he didn't have his cake soon. Or see Sam. That always worked to.

He walked along to Sam's lab. Inside Sam was talking on the phone. She wasn't in her "I'm smarter than you so shut up mode" she was in woman mode: Talking about shopping. Jack slipped into her lab; silently. Sam was sitting over near the wall, a good 4 feet away from her desk, facing the opposite wall. Jack silently climbed onto her desk as Sam finished her conversation.

"Yes Cass, I'll pass the word on." Sam finished and hung up the phone, and turned around, only to find a man sitting on her desk with a definite smirk on his face.

"Getting lazy are we Carter?" Jack asked in his flippant voice.

Cater refused to acknowledge his remark. "Sir, Cassie wanted me to extend an invitation to you and Daniel to join her and some friends on a camping trip next weekend. The timing is perfect because Teal'c is off world. Not to mention there's a lake where there's actually fish. Now at least you have a chance at getting some fish."

"Carter, there are fish in my lake. I've been fishing there so long I think there just getting smarter than me. I'm off to go invite Daniel. Wanna come?"

"No Thanks. Wait—does that mean you're coming?"

"Yup. What can go wrong?"

"Famous last words...Call Cassie for details after you talk to Daniel. "

"Sure. Why not?"

"Oh for crying out loud, Daniel. Do ya really want to let Cassie Down?" Jacks annoying voice could be heard down any hallway near Daniel's office.

"I'm Sorry Jack, but I have to work. Sg-15 brought back a new dialect of Goa'uld. Otherwise I'd go."

"Aren't there others who can do that?"

"Yes, but it should be me."

"Daniel, you are coming, otherwise General Hammond will be finding out about where his stash of imported coffee that went missing. Storage room 212a? Level 24? Behind some empty boxes?"

Daniel's jaw dropped. "You win."

Jack smiled and said, "I knew that you would start to see things my way...I'm just gonna call Cassie."

Jack picked up Daniels phone and started dialing. Cassie finally picked up after the 4th ring.

"Hey Cass! Me n' Daniel are coming camping with you next weekend. Where are we going?"

"You're coming? Really? We're going to Hawthorn Lake. We're gonna meet up with my friends there. I can't wait! I'm gonna call my friends now...Bye Uncle Jack.!"

Jack smiled when the dial tone buzzed in his ear. The lake sounded so familiar. Then it hit him. Hawthorn Lake.

Home of the girl guides.

And he was going.

A/N: Cassie is around 11.

I know I haven't finished my other story yet, but I found this one in an old binder...
