Chapter 1 - Dropped By

Jack scratched his forehead. This was a really difficult decision to make. He walked through his kitchen once again. It was almost seven, definitely time for supper, but he just did not know what he wanted to order, Chinese or Mexican? He had been pondering about this problem since half past five now, finally a decision had to be made.

Jack picked up the phone and his fingers were hovering over the dial. Suddenly a warm wind blew through his hair. Had he left open the window? He shrugged starting to dial.

"Hi, Jack."

He dropped the receiver spinning around at once.

"What the...", he began angrily.

Serena stood in the middle of the room giggling at him. She was wearing a candy pink dress and pink high-heels though they did not make the little girl look taller in any way. (AN: I can't let her out into the world without the right shoes...)

"You little... Can't you knock?" he exquired.

"No, I can't", Serena folded her arms, "it's not in my style. You were about to order dinner?"

"Err, yeah", he stated, "You want some, too?"

She shook her head and Jack turned toward the phone again.

"Uh, Jack?"

"Yeah, Serena?" he replied not turning around again.

"What if I'd make us something?"

He spun around at her again, "You serious?" (AN: And that after the terrific breakfast she prepared last time...)

"Absolutely", she smiled at him, "What have you got in you fridge?"

"Well", he thought for a moment, "Some eggs, cheese, guacamole, beer..."

"Some of that could make a great soufflé", the little girl stated.

"Soufflé? Where've I heard that before...", Jack pondered, "Sam, right. And you're absolutely sure that you're not her exact genetic copy?"

"I am."

An hour later dinner was ready and Serena and Jack sat together at his kitchen table eating. After a while the little girl started to talk to him.

"Jack, we need to talk", she said earnestly.

"What is it?" he asked.

"You know why I've returned?"

"No", he shrugged, "not a clue."

"I've got a mission for Sam and you."

"A mission?' Jack eyed her curiously, "What kind of...?"

"Something really important, almost like a life or death thing. I need to talk about it with the two of you as soon as possible."

"Okay", Jack stated, "I'll call Sam up and she'll come around, it's not too late tonight."

He really wondered what was going on here, such a little girl and so important, what could it be?
