Response to a challenge at The Sam and Jack Fan Fic Challenge Archive
Ulterior Pursuits
"Ah, nature, nature, nature!" Jack O'Neill said with a content sigh. It's fourth-of- July weekend and SG1 (plus Jonas Quinn) is taking some time off to bond up at Jack's cabin.
"Urgh!" Sam swatted a mosquito on her neck. "I hope one of you remembered the bug-spray?!"
"I have brought a can of OFF! in my bag, Major Carter," Teal'c said, swatting his arm.
"Thanks, Teal'c."
Daniel sneezed. "You know," he said in a terribly nasal voice. "If I run out of allergy medicine..." He sneezed again and blew his nose.
"Don't worry, Spacemonkey," Jack said in the middle of Daniel's sneeze. "There's a pharmacy about five miles from here."
Daniel groaned and Jonas rubbed sun-tan lotion on his arms and face as the five walked up to Jack's door. Jack fiddled in his pockets and produced a set of keys. He unlocked the door and they stepped inside.
"Welcome to my humble cabin!" said Jack, smirking. He flipped a light switch and put his bag on the floor. He took his glasses off and walked over to the air conditioner, which was set in a window adjacent to the door where the rest of the team was standing. They slowly followed him in, looking around.
"Not too shabby" Daniel remarked, letting out *another* sneeze.
"Yeah... living room, dining room... kitchen" Jonas's voice sounded from a couple of rooms away. "Where's the bathroom, Jack?"
Jack rolled his eyes and went off to guide Jonas.
Sam was standing near a bookcase. The books were very neatly organized—according to author. He had some pretty good books, too; there were several classics and quite a few books about space exploration. She smiled as she picked up a book called "Moonwalker" by Charlie and Dotty Duke—an astronaut and his wife. She replaced the book and continued looking at the others. Also in the book case were picture frames. There were pictures of people whom she guessed to be Sarah, Charlie, and a few other family members. There was also a picture of Jack with a really funny- looking haircut standing in front of a wire fence that had a blue banner in the background that read "The Phoenix Foundation."
"Hey Carter, Daniel, Teal'c! C'mere a sec," she looked up at the sound of Jack's voice; they followed it into the kitchen where they also found Jonas. "So, I dunno about you guys, but I'm kinda hungry."
"How about we go into town to get some groceries and I can get my medicine," said Daniel.
The rest agreed and twenty minutes later they found themselves in town, in the Super Stop&Shop. Jonas waited with Daniel to get his prescription while Teal'c, Jack, and Sam got the stuff they would need for the BBQ they planned for that evening. They found everything they needed, and checked out. At the checkout, there was the usual: gum, candy, magazines; and the not-so-usual: fertilizer, show polish, and little figurines from the television show "The Simpsons." Jack seemed to be very interested in these, although he pretended not to be. He would try to be inconspicuous when he sorted through the whole shelf of them. Sam noticed his vigilant and nervous behavior when he said "ah-hah! Yes!" a little louder than she thought he'd meant to.
"Uh... sir?" she raised an eyebrow.
Jack turned around quickly, the plastic containing a miniature of Dr. Nick in the hand behind his back, "Carter! We're on vacation," he smiled wryly, "therefore you will *cease* all the formal crap!"
"Then," she matched his smile, "you wouldn't mind if I..."
T.B.C.
A/N: Hope you're enjoying the first part of my story! Just in case you were wondering, The Phoenix Foundation is where Macgyver worked and Dr. Nick is a small character on "The Simpsons" (in case you hadn't figured that one out)
Author's Treat: A preview from the next chapter:
"Wow, Jack! It's HUGE!!!"
"Sam!! Be quiet—we wouldn't want the others to hear!"
