"So do we have plans for today?" Jack asked.
"Well I have to rearrange my books. Annabelle sorted them into different sizes then alphabetized them. It won't work."
"We have the whole weekend off and you're going to reorganise your books?"
"If I don't I won't sleep and I won't relax."
"You want a hand?" He offered.
"You want to help me rearrange my books?" Sam questioned.
"Sure. The sooner you get it done the sooner we can do something else."
"Like what?"
"A movie maybe; walk in the park. You know that date stuff we missed out on." He suggested.
"That could work. Books first though."
"Lead on McDuff."

Sam almost had her books rearranged how she wanted when the phone rang.
"I'll get it." She went into the bedroom and grabbed the phone. "O'Neill residence."
"Sam it's Marianne."
"Hey Marianne. Everything okay?" She asked noting the hesitance in her friend's voice.
"Not really. Are you busy? I know it's your weekend off and you and the Colonel probably have plans." She tailed off at the end.
"I'm sure Jack can keep himself entertained for a few hours, I mean he has enough games and Simpson's videos."
"Can you meet me for coffee, there's something I need to talk about?"
"I'll meet you at O'Connor's in thirty minutes." Sam said.
"Thanks Sam." Marianne replied.
"Hey what are friends for? I'll see you soon." She hung up.
"Who was on the phone?" Jack called.
"Marianne. I have to go out; can you find something to do for a few hours? We can go to a movie tonight."
"She wants to talk about Zack?" Jack asked.
"Probably. She needs a friend."
"What is it with the women of the base bonding?" He inquired.
"Do you know how many women work at the base?"
"There are seven on the SG teams, Janet, and eight female nurses, four linguist, three archaeologists, five or six other random base personnel and however many work for the science department and in admin."
"There are three times as many men. We bond because of strength in numbers, besides if Hathor has a friend it's easier if you know each other."
"You plan for things like that?" He questioned.
"It always helps to look out for the unforeseeable. Besides Janet and I are the highest ranking female officers on the base, it's a responsibility." She smiled. "Be good I'll be back soon." She gave him a kiss.
