"Have you opened it?" Sam asked. "Yes..... That's right. Hang on a second." Sam said at the knock on her door. She covered the receiver with her hand. "Come in, it's open."

"Carter, are you coming to breakfast?" Jack said as he entered the room.

"Just a minute Colonel." She took her hand off the receiver. "So you've got all the wires exposed? ... Yes that was Colonel O'Neill.. Watch you're implications there Doctor... Do you want me to help or not?... Well apparently it's my weekend off so technically I shouldn't be working... Yes I understand that but that is why I usually don't let people use my lab when I'm away, they have a tendency to break things."

"Carter, give me the phone." Jack demanded.

"Yes sir." Sam said handing it to him.

"Who is this?.. Right Dr Thomas, SG-1 are away for the weekend and we're not working this weekend so leave Captain Carter's lab now.. Either find somewhere else to do your experiment or wait until we get back on Tuesday. Good, now transfer me to the security office.. This is Colonel O'Neill, I need someone to lock up Captain Carter's lab and post a guard no one is allowed in until she gets back.. Yes that includes the General. Goodbye." He hung up the phone.

"Thank you, he was driving me mad. Plus he decided to break my lab equipment." Sam said with a smile.

"What were you doing talking to him anyway?" Jack asked.

"I was expecting a delivery of some equipment from Nellis today, I thought I should ask someone to put it away so it doesn't get broken. I was only on the phone for a few minutes before Dr Thomas started confessing and asked for helping to fix the equipment he broke."

"Don't phone them again, I've got my cell if there is an emergency."

"Sure. Did you say something about breakfast?" Sam asked as she slipped her pumps on to complete her outfit of denim shorts a white tank top and a blue over shirt unbutton with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows.

"Teal'c's stomach growling woke Danny up, I don't think junior was too happy either. So they've gone to the dinner across the street. I came to see if you wanted to join us before we head out."

"Do you think they'll want some cake?" Sam asked.

"Save it for later. I told them to order us pancakes. By the way since it's a better happy birthday again." He pulled a card out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"Thank you. I should probably apologise for my behaviour last night, it was very unprofessional."

"It's your birthday you're granted a reprieve until tomorrow. So you ready to go?"

"I just need to grab my hat and my bag." She said picking them up. "Okay sir let's go."

"I thought we covered the sir thing yesterday." Jack said as he walked out of the room followed by Sam.

"We did, it's a force of habit. I'll try to keep it under control." She said as she locked the door. "So why a theme park?"

"I figured if we can go on a roller coaster ride every couple of days our stomachs could handle the real thing."

"Good point."

"This weekend is about kicking back and having fun, celebrating your birthday and the fact that we're not going to get shot at. Also to that end we have tickets to the science museum for tomorrow, on the understand that you don't explain how anything works to me."

"I think I can handle that." She said with a smile as they crossed the road and entered the diner.
