The drive to the restaurant had passed without any awkwardness. It'd only lasted three minutes, after all. Things quickly took a turn for the worse after that. The restaurant couldn't exactly be explained as very formal, yet there they were, in dress blues and all. Oops, Jack was thinking to himself, as he intently studied the menu. He peered over the top of it at Sam, who was studying the menu with way more attention than it deserved. I've barely seen her this concentrated at work, Jack thought to himself. Alright, O'Neill, stop being silly!
'Why'd the tomato cross the road?' Jack asked, slamming the menu shut and looking at Sam with a dead-serious look. Sam couldn't help but smile. God, that smile can melt a million hearts… Jack thought. Snap out of it!
'Come on,' he prompted.
'I dunno, why?'
'To catch up,' Jack answered. Sam started laughing loudly. 'God, that was almost as good as Teal'c's Jaffa joke,' she said.
They both laughed at that.
