Jack felt the familiar tingling of Time being manipulated; that usually didn't mean anything good.

John was taking in the view - the most beautiful shades of blue and green, waves gently lapping at sand as white as snow - and gave him his best fake innocent look.

"I might have put a lock on this place."

"What?"

"Relax, it won't be more than a glitch in Standard Time."

"How long inside the bubble?"

"Six hours."

"A day on the beach?"

Jack started to smille.

"Actually, captain, this might be one of your better ideas."
