Tears. So many tears and so little time. All of the team cried tears so often, the General thought. Maybe they need a break, he said to himself.
"General, you called?" George Hammond lifted his head to see Jack standing in front of him, looking worn out and slightly irritated.
"Yes, Colonel, I did. SG-1 has been through hell lately and I think its high time they had a vacation. I'm giving you all a week of leave time."
The Colonel's irritability slowly wore off, and he nodded thankfully to Hammond. "Thanks General. I'm gonna warn you though, Carter isn't going to take this lightly." Hammond waited until Jack left to release a chuckle. Major Carter was all work and no play, and the General knew exactly where she got it from. He remembered her anger at being told she needed a break, the way she set her jaw and her eyes lit with fury. It frustrated her deeply not to have something to work on. Oh well, he thought. She'll have the rest of SG-1 to keep her company this time.
Daniel sat, reading a book on mythology, pondering what he'd already read carefully. He was a bookworm, and when it came to books in a different dialect, he was just as eager to learn. His whole office was filled with books, some he'd read once; most he had read a million times. But Daniel was growing tired, and beginning to doze, when Jack walked in.
"Hey Daniel, General Hammond says its time for SG-1 to take some good ole' vacation time. Wanna go to the new bowling alley tomorrow night?"
"Sure. Is the rest of the team coming?"
"Yeah, and Carter was going to ask Janet and Cas if they wanted to come along." Daniel smiled. That's nice of her, he thought. He enjoyed being with Cassandra, and he knew she'd enjoy going bowling with the team. Even after a few years, the girl still believed SG-1 could do anything. And he owed Janet his life. On more then one occasion she had saved his life, and only once, when he had been exposed to radioactive poisoning, was she unable to save him. Yep, Cassie and Janet were great friends. Jack's voice broke Daniel's thoughts.
"Oh, by the way, Carter's invited the team to come to her house afterwards. She said something about a movie and some popcorn."
"She didn't pick another horror movie did she? I mean, I felt bad about the whole popcorn thing..."
Jack rolled his eyes. "Well, if she did, I'll hold the popcorn."
Hope you guys like the first chapter! I wanted to write a short story of SG-1 taking a break and enjoying each others company. Feel free to comment or criticize. EDIT: Hey, I'm editing this story! It's been a while since I wrote anything Stargate related, so I'm going through some old stories and working on some much-needed editing. Enjoy! EDITING MY EDIT: This is an older work of mine, which features a few chapters on what SG-1 does when they finally get a day off! I'm finally getting a chance to do more edits, so updates maybe slow. I still hope you guys enjoy this story just as much as you do my others!
