The next morning, Jack was sure to be up in time to catch Daniel before he went off to "study" the burial grounds again.
"Yo, Danny. Wait up. I talked to General Hammond yesterday. I have some bad news."
Daniel waited for Jack to finish... and when he didn't he sighed, "And that bad news is...?"
"WHat? OH yeah... sorry. I got that new Britney Spears song stuck in my head... you know that "Toxic" one.... Your toxic guns slipping under..." Jack started singing.
"Jack! The bad news!"
Yeah.. General Hammond said-- wait! Is that a copy of the Kama Sutra in your hand??"
Daniel blushed.
"Yeah, that's uh... for... um..."
"And where the heck did you get it? Do you just happen to keep that in your pack just in case you might meet a hottie??"
"No! I uh... uh... The bad news, Jack!"
"Sheesh Daniel.... yeah, General Hammond said that there's a bunch of space debri heading our way. It will probably start falling on Friday and will kill many people. He wants us out of here before then."
"What about the rest of the people on the planet?"
"He didn't say anything about them. Guess he's just concerned about us. I, personally, think this is a stupid planet and don't really care what happens to these people."
"Uh... what about Michelle?"
"What about her?"
"I love her. I can't let her die." *dun dun dun!!!*
"Daniel, I promise. You'll find another chick on some other planet later."
"Jack, I love her like I've loved no one else."
"Even Shau're?"
"Who?"
"Your wife!"
"I'm married!?!"
"Geez Daniel.... what will I do with you?"
"Uh... I gotta go. I'm supposed to meet Michelle at the burial site... we're gonna study some more."
"Oh is that what the Kama Sutra is for?" Jack asked, sarcastically.
"Shut up..." Daniel blushed. He stuffed the book in his bag and left the room. As he left, Jack saw a pack of cigarettes in Daniel's mesh pocket.
"Yeah... studying... whatever."
