"Colonel." "Jack." "O'Neill." SG-1 all said in one go. Jack spun round.

"Yes?"

"Stop and take four steps to the left." Sam instructed.

"Okay." He moved. "Why did I just do that?"

"You know we are working on not offending people?" Daniel asked.

"Yes unfortunately."

"That flower you were about to stand on is sacred on this planet."

"Crazy." Myles muttered under his breath.

"What was that Hartman?" Jack asked.

"Nothing sir." Myles replied.

"Good. So no standing on flowers?" Jack concluded.

"Yes sir." Sam replied.

"Danny, that intergalactic guidebook is looking better all the time."

"Along with the big sign saying 'Welcome to Oz'. The temperature is 76 degrees, but please be aware to expect torrential downpours in the next twenty four hours. Directions also available to the Goa'uld encampments, here, here and here." Sam said remember an earlier conversation.

"Don't forget the 30 foot Homer Simpson guide." Jack reminded her.

"That still isn't going to happen sir." Sam said.

"You can't blame a guy for trying." Jack said with a shrug.

"Oh you really can sir. But don't let that stop you."

"You know you can be really annoying." Jack remarked.

"It's all part of my charm sir." She winked at him.

"And besides we put up with you when you're annoying and breaking things." Daniel added.

"What is it 'pick on Jack day'?"

"I believe that is the first Monday of every month O'Neill." Teal'c replied.

Sam covered her mouth with her hand, Myles looked down at his shoes and Daniel suddenly found the sky very interesting. Jack glanced over at Sam who was going a very interesting shade of red.

"Okay, laugh before she bursts." Daniel and Sam burst out laughing, Myles was slightly more reserved but still laughed, Teal'c remarked stoic as usual. "Now we are done mocking me." Jack said as the laughter subsisted.

"Why a thirty foot Homer Simpson?" Myles questioned.

"The Goa'uld have telecommunication devices which are shaped like a ball. They have one which can record images and play then back thirty feet high. We managed to capture one and I can re-programme it. The Colonel thinks we should use Homer as a distraction."

"Wouldn't you find it distracting?"

"More comical sir, than distracting, but then again I know who the Simpson's are."

"How about the Wicked Witch instead?" Jack suggested.

"I was found the flying monkeys scarier." Daniel remarked.

"You would Space Monkey."

"Just when I finally got him to stop calling me that." Daniel muttered.

"You think he was going to forget it that easily? He was just hoping if he was nice to you you wouldn't put anything too bad in your best man's speech."

"Unfortunately most of the good stuff is classified."

"I've got a few good stories you could use, leave out a couple of details and they'll be fine." She moved over and whispered something to him.

"Oh really. I didn't know that but I guess it makes sense." Daniel smiled.

"Hey you're supposed to side with me." Jack said.

"Since when sir?" Sam asked innocently.

"Since.... Just since." Jack replied.

"I'll duly note that argument Colonel."

"I'm going to side with Sam." Daniel said.

"Oh and why's that?" Jack asked.

"For one thing she's prettier than you are." Sam smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"And for another?" Jack prompted.

"She can recover the translation that I've spent weeks working on when I delete it from my computer." That earned him a dig in the ribs. "He was the one who asked."

"Don't worry about him. He can keep Annabelle entertained all by himself."

"You can't sic my Mom on me."

"She's your Mom."

"Look what happened last time."

"And for good measure we'll throw in Mark too."

"You're pure evil." He scowled at her.

"Evil and annoying, I'm having a good day. By the way we're here." They had finally reached the mine. TBC
