"Jack, wake up." Sam gently prodded him in the ribs. "Jack." He shuffled in
his sleep. "Colonel, wake up." She was about to give up when an arm pulled
her down on top of him. "Okay this isn't going like I planned." She
muttered.
"Oh I don't know it's working out pretty well for me." Jack kissed her.
"I thought we agreed about this."
"No you agreed that since you were in charge here you needed to have a certain level of decorum and it wasn't like when we were just with Danny and Teal'c, so you were going to keep your own tent and I was going to have to sleep over here in this one."
"Plus we have an agreement with General Hammond." She tried to move but he kept his arms tightly around her waist.
"So if you didn't wake me up because you're as frustrated as I am from not seeing you for a week why did you wake me up?"
"I wanted to show you something."
"It's night time. What could you possibly want to show me?"
"Well you're going to need to let me go and get up if you want to see."
"You know I could get up for a totally different reason that involved staying in this tent."
"How is my Dad?" She asked.
"Okay that killed that idea."
"I'll meet you outside." She crawled away from his grasp.
"So where are we going?" Jack whispered.
"See that glowing over there?" She pointed to an area just away from the camp.
"Yeah."
"That's where we're going." They walked over.
"A telescope and your laptop?" He questioned.
"Lay down that way." There were two sleeping bags in the form of a T laid on the ground. Jack did as he was told. Sam laid down on the other one with her head on his stomach and picked up her laptop and put it on her stomach.
"You wanted to show me the stars?" He questioned.
"No street lights here." She shrugged and brought up the image from the telescope onto the screen.
"Wow. Fancy doohickey."
"It's what you get for working in deep space radar telemetry."
"Do you think we can steal it?"
"Not with out being court-martialled. The Air Force wants me to give a talk on star clusters and formations. I thought I'd get some picture of things people hadn't seen before." The image on the screen changed.
"Good idea."
"So I've set the computer to change the view periodically it will reject anything it's recognises. It will also bring up stars it doesn't recognise. So I thought you like to help me play dot – to –dot and name a few new constellations."
"Really?" He asked.
"Sure. If we ever get a ship capable of interstellar travel the bigger the map the better right?"
"I suppose."
"You can go back to your tent if you like. I just thought this would be fun."
"It is. Long day, gate travel takes it out of you. But let's name some constellations."

"Daniel Jackson, have you seen O'Neill and Major Carter this morning?" Teal'c asked.
"Over there." Daniel pointed to where they had fallen asleep watching the stars. Sam's head was still on Jack's stomach, the laptop still on her lap.
"Would this not be an appropriate moment to take photographic evidence of such events?" Teal'c asked.
"Would make a nice wedding present." Daniel said knowing where Teal'c was going with this.
"Indeed."
"What?" Jack muttered as his eyes flew open at the flash of the camera.
"Morning Jack." Daniel said. "Have a nice time stargazing?"
"What?" Jack said half asleep.
"I take it that's what you and Sam were doing with that telescope?"
"We were naming constellations."
"Of course you were." Daniel said.
"We were." Jack insisted.
"You might want to wake her up. Teal'c and I were the first ones up and..."
"Hey Sam wake up." He shook her shoulder slight. She moved to roll over. Daniel grabbed her laptop before it could hit the ground. "Up and at 'em Major." Jack said slightly loud. Sam sat up with a start.
"What?" She sat straight up.
"Nice to know you have the same response in the mornings. Morning Sam." Daniel said.
"Morning."
"One piece of advice. Don't fall asleep with your laptop on your stomach, when you roll over it really damages it. Plus I think your battery is flat."
"Good thing I've got a spare. You'll be happy to know that we named a constellation in honour of you and one in honour Teal'c."
"See I wasn't lying."
"Yeah Jack, anyway Teal'c is making coffee if you want some."
"Sounds like a plan. I just need to pack the telescope away." Sam replied.
"Whenever you're ready."
