A/N: WOW! Thank you all so much for the reviews! That is a record for me. Here is another chapter for you. I am trying to make them a little longer, but don't hate me if they don't end up that way. There are a few references in here to "Jeopardy!" and "Month Python: Quest for the Holy Grail". Hope you enjoy it, and keep those reviews coming.
Sam woke and meandered out to the room. *Wow! What a nice dream!* she thought.
*I bet.* she heard Daniel reply smugly.
*Of course. I was in it, wasn't I?* Jack, of course.
*OHMyGod!* she thought to the responses from Daniel and Jack and went back in the room.
"Aw, come out, Carter, we already heard you!" Jack called from the main room. Sam regrouped herself, swearing not to think anymore,not an easy feat! and shuffled back outside.
"And in case you were wondering, yes, I can do that." Jack said with a grin and Sam nearly bolted back into the room again.
"Leave her alone, Jack. It is your move." Daniel said and grinned at Sam. Sam gave him an appreciative look and moved over to their table. They were playing chess. Giving the board a quick glance, Sam instinctively reviewed Jack's next moves.
"Gee! Thanks, Carter. I didn't see that one." Jack said and moved his knight. "Check!" he proclaimed proudly.
"Gee, thanks, Sam." Daniel said and moved his king. Sam couldnt stop herself from thinking of the final move, which Jack promptly took.
"Checkmate!" He said with a wide grin.
"Sam!" Daniel whined loudly.
"Sorry. How did you two play without reading each other's minds, anyway?" Sam questioned, watching the two rearrange the pieces.
"Easy. I kept thinking of bad moves and Jack kept taking them." Daniel replied.
"I knew you were doing that." Jack said, defensively.
"Is that why you moved your queen directly in front of mine, completely unprotected?" He asked. Jack mulled over the statement and shot Daniel an angry look.
"Shut up, Daniel." he said, sounding an awful lot like a five year old. Jack left the table to watch some TV he had demanded one be hooked up after putting up with the others for an hour. He slowly flipped through the channels, trying to find something on. Finally stopping, he found himself watching "Jeopardy!" He couldn't help but grin when two of the categories came up: "Astronomy" and "Fish." By the first commercial, he had only missed two questions.
* Who knew that they asked for a 'shrubbery' in that movie? * he thought to himself.
*A nice one. *
*And not too expensive.* came the replies from the other two in the room. Daniel and Sam looked at each other and laughed. They both gave up their work and moved over to sit with Jack. When the commercial break was over, the three sat answering ever question- at least one of them knowing the answer. Jack grinned inwardly when the other two stared shocked at him when he answered a question correctly in the "Nuclear Reactions" category. When the next commercial break came, Sam turned to him.
"How did you know that answer, sir?" she asked.
"Um...I read your mind?" Jack asked, a bit embarrassed that they had heard him. Sam and Daniel exchanged knowing grins They were two of only a few people who knew that Jack was actually incredibly smart, and just hid it well. Jack caught their look.
"Ok, so maybe I have just been around you too long,Carter." he denied and turned back to the TV just as the final commercial went off. All three couldnt stop grinning as the final Category popped up"
"Aliens."
