"Hey Jack your back." Ferretti said coming up to him and patting him on the
back. "How was Hawaii?"
"Well the airport was nice, what I saw of the view on the drive to the hotel was nice. The hotel room was great and had a good view, but after that I can't tell you anything."
"Oh really. Life in the old dog yet."
"We were only there twenty-four hours." Jack clarified.
"You were supposed to be there for a week."
"Well the NID had other plans. We had a visitor about two hours after we got there to warn us that they wanted to abduct Sam."
"God, is she okay?" He asked.
"She's fine she's checking out what problems they caused with the gate while we were away. She arranged for Thor to come and do some abducting of his own. Then he dropped us in the head of the NID's office."
"Why?" Ferretti asked.
"So she could threaten him with the wrath of the Asguard, Tok'ra, Rebel Jaffa and as many members of the Air Force as she could find and a few strategically placed ribbon devices and pain sticks if they didn't leave her and us alone." Jack said proudly.
"Remind me never to get on the wrong side of your wife Jack."
"You should have seen the look on the head of the NID's face, I almost broke out laughing. But it would have ruined the moment." Jack recalled.
"So where did you spend the rest of the week if you weren't in Hawaii?" Ferretti inquired.
"Sam got Hammond to agree to let Thor drop us off at an undisclosed location for the week as long as it was on Earth so they could reach us in an emergency."
"You don't have a tan so I'm taking it wasn't somewhere too hot."
"I didn't know where we were going until we got there."
"Where?" Ferretti asked.
"She decided to take me up on my offer to show her Minnesota."
"You finally got her to go fishing with you." He smiled.
"It was her choice." Jack stood up. "And there haven't been any fish in the lake for at least the last ten years." Jack whispered before he left a chuckling Ferretti.

"Danny." Jack said as he stuffed his hands in his pockets as he walked into Daniel's lab.
"Hey Jack," Daniel said looking up from what he was doing. "Did you have a nice honeymoon after the Sam's little chat with the NID?"
"Yeah, it was great." He picked up a statue from the desk and looked at.
"Where did you end up?" Daniel asked as he took the statue from Jack and handed him a Rubix cube.
"Minnesota."
"How did you manage to talk Sam into that one or don't I want to know?" He asked.
"Actually it was her idea I didn't know anything about it until we got there."
"So did you actually find anytime to fish or were the other activities that kept you occupied?"
"Like I told Teal'c it's not about fishing its about the act of fishing itself."
"But it helps if there actually fish in the lake to start with." Sam said as she entered. "So we had to find something else to do. Hey Daniel."
"Hey Sam. Sorry the NID wrecked Hawaii."
"Don't worry well go again once the Goa'uld are defeated. We brought you a present." She placed a gift wrapped box on the table. "Be careful when you open it."
"You know you left out erratic archaeologists when you were threatening the NID guy."
"Who do you think I was leaving in charge of the pain sticks?" Sam asked as Daniel undid the ribbon and began to pull off the paper. He opened the box and took out a small point containing a Bonsai tree.
"Err thanks." He said.
"Jack's sense of irony." Sam said. "I got you something too. It's in the bottom of the box." He pulled out a book.
"Teach- yourself Arabic. Thanks Sam." He hugged her.
"I get you a plant for you so don't die in here from oxygen depletion and I get an err thanks. Sam buys you a book and she gets a hug?"
"Sam know the Goa'uld don't know Arabic and at this point neither do I. So if I learn we can use it as a tactical advantage. Plus learning a new language is a good thing." Daniel explained. Jack huffed.
A white light beamed something down on to the table. There was a note on it that said Major Carter. Sam hesitantly picked it up and opened it.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Jack asked.
"How many people do we know who beam things places in a white light?" Sam asked.
"One." He had to agree.
"Daniel apart from my name the rest is in Asguard. Can you read it?" She held it out to him.
"Umm, Major Carter, thank you for your dumb idea it worked. If you come up with any more please use the device to contact us. If you ever need anything please feel free to call us. Thor."
"Dumb idea?" Jack questioned.
"You think I'd bring Thor all this way for a ride and not give him something in return? I just wanted to give your gift Daniel. How about we meet for lunch and you fill me in on the gossip I missed while I was away."
"Yell when you're ready and can get out from under the pile of paperwork that seems to accumulate on your desk every time you leave the base."
"I'll do that."
"By the way have you been home yet?" Daniel asked.
"Not really, we threw the bags in the door that's it why?" Jack asked.
"Teal'c and I took moved Sam's stuff apart from the furniture we weren't sure what you wanted moved. Don't worry Janet packed your clothes."
"Thanks Daniel." Sam beamed.
