Chapter 1: Max

"Jack, come on, you have to realize the significance of this…" Daniel was cut off by the sound of Sam's fork clattering to the floor. Daniel, Jack, and Teal'c barely had time to register a look of pure shock on Sam's face before she flew out of her seat and into the arms of a man who was standing in the door of the commissary.

The man expertly grab Sam in mid-hug and twirled her about, before setting her down and hugging her fiercely. "Sammy its good to see you"

"You prat, why didn't you tell me you were coming" She said grinning up at him.

"Where's the fun in that?"

"I've missed you," She said giving him another hug "It's been too long"

"Yes, it has"

"What are you doing here?"

"I've been transferred"

"Seriously?"

"Yup, I'm here to stay, Sammy"

Her reply was cut off by a cough "Carter…care to introduce us?

She turned to face him, "Sorry, sir. This is Lt. Col. Max James. Max, this is General O'Neill" She indicated Daniel " Dr. Daniel Jackson" She looked at Teal'c " and Teal'c"

"Sir" He said nodding to Jack "Dr. Jackson, Teal'c"

"Shouldn't there be a memo?"

"There was one, sir" came a voice to his left

"Right, thank you Walter. So, you and Carter know each other?" He asked eyeing the new Colonel.

"You could say that, sir." Max said grinning at Sam.

"We go way back, sir, Max was at the Academy when I was."

"And you've been transferred here?" Asked Daniel "That's cool, I'm sure Sam's excited"

Sam smiled, "You bet" She turned to Max " When you're done getting settled, come find me. We can go to dinner?"

"I'd love to Sammy." He turned to the rest of them "You are more than welcome to come"

"I'm sure you have a lot of catching up to do," said Daniel

"Please, I insist"

"All right" he said looking around "We'll come"

"Great! Where to?"

"How about O'Malley's?" suggested Jack

"Yes, sir"

"You cool with this T?"

"Indeed"

"Ok well we'll meet you there at seven" said Daniel
