Disclaimer: I think you know the drill by now.

Once again, I apologize for the long wait. I had six exams this week. SIX!!! And I still have some coming up next week. Point is, updates are still going to be slow. Sorry.

"I've never seen Pete act that way or the way he acted yesterday for that matter." Sam said to Janet on the drive home from the cinema.

"You mean before he met Jack and before he saw the two of you together." Janet said.

"What do you mean?"

"There's nobody but you and me in this car. Might as well be honest."

Sam let out a sign. "Alright."

"Good. Now I say that Pete has been acting this way because he's jealous of Jack."

"Why would he be? I mean we're just friends." Sam said with a hint of regret.

"I think the stories pushed him overboard. The virus, Antarctica, the whole alternated reality thing."

"Maybe. But that stuff happened years before Pete and I even met!"

"My guess is that he thinks that Jack knows you more than he does. Which is true."

"Well what does he expect? I've been working with Jack for seven years and only met Pete a few months ago." Janet smiled at her friend. "What?" Sam asked.

"Nothing, you just called Colonel O'Neill Jack."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did."

"Didn't"

"Did."

"Didn't"

"Did."

"Now we're having one of Daniel's and Jack's silly arguments!"

"You just called him Jack again." Janet said, her smile even bigger.

"Janet!"

"Alright, alright."

"Why don't we talk about you and Daniel." Sam said, happy to change the subject.

"What do you mean." Janet's grin quickly left and her checks turned a nice shade of pink.

"You know what I mean. The way you jumped in the seat next to him, you two looked like a nice little couple you know."

"Look who's talking." Now it was Sam's turn to blush. So, didn't manage to completely change the subject.

"There's something standing in my way, there's nothing standing in yours." Sam said, still trying to keep the subject on Daniel's and Janet's relationship.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do. Now stop hiding it. Daniel obviously likes you back."

"Lets turn the radio on." Janet said, turning on the radio.

"You two would be good together."

Janet put the volume higher. "Sorry, I can't hear you." The doctor replied. Sam rolled her eyes. She could always talk to her friend later.

"What's up with you and the doc?" Jack asked, getting strait to his point.

"What do you mean?" Daniel asked.

Of course, you just had to make this harder didn't you Danny boy. Jack thought. "I mean, are you dating?"

"Why on earth got you to think that?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe just because you two seemed so cosy and Janet literary jumped into the seat next to you."

"Yes but only because..." Daniel stopped in mid-sentence when he realised what he was about to say.

"Because what?"

"Nothing." The archeologist said, a little too quickly.

"Doesn't seem like nothing. Come on, fess up."

"Really, it's nothing. Just two friends watching a movie just like you and Sam." That should work.

"Didn't look that way."

Ok, so maybe it didn't work. "Ya well you and Sam didn't look like just friends either."

"So you admit that you weren't just out as friends." Your tricks won't work on me Danny.

"Why do you even care?!"

"Because, you're my friend and I think you two would be good together."

"You think?"

"Yes. Now the next time you see her, ask her out."

"What if she says no?"

"You don't have a lot of self-confidence, do you? She won't say no."

"Tell you what. I'll ask her out, if you tell Sam you love her."

"Are you trying to get me fired!?"

"Say it in private, nobody else has to know. Like with the zatarcs thing."

"Who told you about that?"

"Janet."

"Of course she did."

"So, do we have a deal?"

"Fine. But I won't do my part until you do yours."

"Alright but you better keep your word."

"Alright then."

When Monday finally came, Daniel was, for the first time, reluctant to go to work. What on earth had got him to agree to that silly deal? Despite what he was feeling, he went over to the infirmary. If this was the way to get Sam and Jack to admit their feelings for each other, than he was going to do it. Besides, if Jack was right, and Janet would say yes, it would make Daniel's day. Heck! It would make his month. "Huuu, Janet? Can I talk to you for a moment." The things he did for his friends.

"Sure Daniel." The doctor said walking towards Daniel. "What's up?"

"Well, I was just wondering, if you weren't doing anything after we're done working, you may want to...join me for diner."

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Janet asked, with a huge smile on her face.

"Ya, I guess I am." Daniel replied with the same sized smile.

"I'd love too. What time?"

"I could pick you up at six. That a good time?"

"Sure, see you then." Janet said, before going back to work.

Daniel couldn't believe it! Well, actually, he could. He was just really really surprised that, for once, Jack was right. He had to tell somebody. Lucky for him, Jack was exactly where he thought he would be. In the commissary.

"Hey Jack." Daniel said sitting across from the Colonel.

"You're looking awfully cheerful today. What's up?" Jack asked, eating a piece of his cake.

"Well you were right."

"I was? About what?"

"Janet said yes, we're going on a date tonight."

"That's great! Congratulations."

"Of course you know what this means."

"Yup, you're no longer the chicken I thought you were. Got to go. See ya later." Jack said, getting up.

"You know what I meant. Don't forget our deal."

"Deal? What deal?" Jack said innocently, walking out of the commissary and towards his office.

"Don't pretend you don't remember." Daniel said following him. "You promised you would talk to Sam if I asked Janet out."

"Yes, but that was back when I thought you were too chicken to ask."

"So instead you're just going to be a chicken yourself."

"Daniel, why does it even matter to you whether or not I tell her?"

"Because if you don't, another guy is going to come along."

"You mean like Pete. She deserves to be happy Daniel." At this point, they were in Jack's office with the door closed.

"She probably thinks your feelings for her have changed and that's why she went out with Pete. Didn't last Friday convince you that she wouldn't be happy with anybody else than you?"

"See that's the problem. She can't be with me."

"Tell her anyway, that way, when you retire, she won't already be with some other guy." Daniel said before leaving Jack's office. Jack had a little thinking to do.
