Daniel sighed and gently rubbed his temples. He had been trandslating for the last 6 and a half hours and had only gotten throught two paragraphs. "This is exhasting." He said and stood up.

"What exhasusting?" Samantha Carter asked walking in to Daniel's work room.

"This we brought back throught the stargate."He said pointing to a thick ancient book. "This.... is what i have translated." He pointed to the first two paragraphs. "I'll get one or two words and then a whole new word and symbol will show up and it;s back to reserch."

"I'm sorry...you know it is late... go to bed. It'll be here in the morning trust me." Sam said and smiled.

"Jackson, Carter... O'Neil would like to see you both." The newest voice and face said.

"Thanks Teal'c," Carter replied. "Daniel..."

"Yeah.. yeah.. I'll be there in a second." He said and sat down at his computer. He flipped it on and quickly got on to the internet. He checked his email. One peice catching his attention. "Summer..." he said breathlessly.

"Jackson... now.." O' Neil said as he passed his room. Daniel sighed and shut his laptop and headed to the meeting.

-===================-
"Sorry for the late hour everyone, but i know you would still be up." General Hammond said and smiled. " I just got off the phone with the president."

"Well, whoopdedo.." O'Neil said. "What does he want us to do now?"

"Nothing actully thats it. He actully wants you to do some civillian work." Hammond said. "Civilian work that will give you two weeks of leave."

"Two weeks?" Carter said, her eyes glowing in excitement.

"Yes... aparently a friend of Doctor Jackson's has requested that he occapany her to a symposium and the Presdient feels that a highly trained group of individuals such as your selves should accompany her." Hammon said.

"Wait a friend of mine?" Jackson asked.

"Yes, Apparently she feels that your expertise on the Stargate will come in handy." Hammond said.

"Who is it?" Daniel asked.

"Summer Fredricks." Hammond replied. "The president is sending you all along as escorts. If you will."

"So we get to protect the pretty professor cause the president says so? God what does she do for him." O'Neil said not nessicarilly thrilled about this.

"Jack, you don;t understand about Summer. She's...amazing... lets put it this way.. she makes me look stupid, she has an IQ of well over 300 and she is just... amazing. She was the only person who ever belived me when i started to dig around for the gate." Jackson said.

"So she's brainy. Stiff huh?" O'Neil asked.

"Actully Sir, from what i hear, she's a bit of a party animal and very excentric." Carter said.

"She is. But she's amazing." Daniel said. "I wonder why she wants me."

"Mauybe cause your so damn good looking?" O'Neil said teasing the younger man.

"I doubt it." Daniel said and smiled. "We were best firneds in college. I've not seen her since...just before I joined here."

"Well.. Now you get the chance to see her." General Hammond said and smiled. "You leave tomarrow ar 9 hundred hours."
