'Ah, home sweet home.' Jack thought to himself as he entered his house. Tossing his jacket over the back of a chair, putting his keys down on the counter, Jack grabbed a beer, settled down on his couch, and flipped on the TV.
Jack had barly been home half an hour before someone was knocking on his door. Opening his door Jack wasn't one bit surprised to see his team standing there, carrying pizza, beer and movies.
"I was wondering when you guys were going to show up." Jack let them in and made his way back to the living room. "You guys sure took your time."
"Yes well we did have to stop and get food and entertainment." Jonas replied.
Sitting around the living room the group started to eat their pizza and drink their beer, while Teal'c popped one of the movies in. Seeing what movie Teal'c had put in Jack let out a groan.
"Come on Teal'c aren't you sick of Star Wars yet?"
"I could never be sick of Star Wars O'Neill." Teal'c answered in a tone that left no room for argument.
Several hours later after all the food was gone and they'd finished watching every Star Wars movie, the group sat around catching up.
"So why don't you three tell me why you're really here." Jack ordered.
"Well sir honestly we wanted to make sure you were ok after everything thats happened the last few days." Sam responded.
"As much as I appreciate the thought, I'm fine honest. Actually you know being in prison was kind of a nice break from work. I've even made some observations about work in general and prison, while I was locked up."
"Observations?" Jonas questioned.
"Yeah, here I even wrote them down." Jack pulled a folded up piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to the others.

"You now sir only you would think of doing something like this." Sam laughed.
"Indeed O'Neill this is something only you would do." Teal'c added.
"What I'd like to know is what possed you to spend your time thinking these things up?" Jonas asked.
"What can I say? you do what you got to do to stay sane." Jack answered.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of his team mates, Jack knew that he had suceeded at letting his team know that everything was going to be fine.
