A/N Just a short story idea that popped into my head. It's set sometime during season 7. Enjoy! ~

"They're over-due."
"Yes sir, I know."
"I warned them."
"Yes sir, I know you did. I was there."
A minute of silence went by, Jack and Sam each in their own thoughts about what might have happened to their missing friends. It was broken by an alarm. "Unscheduled off world activation!" Sam and Jack ran out of the lab and made a beeline to the 'Gate room. They got there just as two men walked through.
Jack took one look at them, and all his worry passed as he started laughing.
"It's not funny Jack!"
"Yes it is Daniel!"
Knowing they couldn't win this argument, Daniel and Jonas turned to Sam, putting on puppy eyes and staring at her in a silent plea for help. Sam tried to keep it in, but it was hopeless. She too, burst out laughing. Jonas and Daniel looked like they had been betrayed. "SAM!"
"Sorry guys! You know I love both of you, but even you have got to admit that you look ridiculous!"
Daniel and Jonas looked around at their friends. Jack was laughing so hard he was crying. Sam didn't seem to be much better, but at least she was trying to control it. Gen. Hammond was hiding it well, but they could see his grin a mile away. Heck, even Tealc seemed amused by the whole situation! Daniel and Jonas turned to each other. 'Yep.' They thought. 'We're doomed.'
Daniel's hair was sticking up, and he had a variety of alien looking flowers stuck all over his clothes. Not to mention that he was covered head to toe in mud. If anyone was to point to him and ask someone what they thought 'it' was, the answer would have undoubtedly been "A bush."
Jonas didn't look to much better. He too was covered head to toe. But not in mud like Daniel. No, Jonas was covered in a bright neon pink sticky substance. Anybody could tell it was sticky because of what else was stuck on him. Namely, Daniel's hands that were wrapped around an ancient relic that clung to Jonas's back like a magnet.
"Someone get a camera."
