Well. This should be fun! R&R!!! It actually does help. Alright....here goes.

Daniel drove down the road, nervously strumming his fingers on the steering wheel. Janet and Teal'c were riding with him this time, and Janet was beside him in the passenger seat. He chanced a quick glance over at Janet, who caught his look and smiled, causing Daniel to look away quickly. Janet was actually no better off in her seat, trying to act calm and cool and doing anything but. She stared out of the window trying to think without thinking...if one could actually do that. Daniel struggled to hear her thoughts.

Should I....What if....no, he.... was about all he was getting, but it was enough. He took a deep gulp of air and glanced over at her.

"Have you heard about the new Lord of the Rings movie coming out Friday?" he asked.

"Yes, Cassie has been wanting to see it. She just finished the book." Janet replied with a pride-filled grin. Daniel paused, grasping for courage.

"Janet, would you like to go out with me? Maybe see a movie and then dinner? I mean, if you want to. You don't have to, but..."

"I would love to, Daniel!" YES!!! YES YES YES YES YES!....Opps..... Janet thought when she remembered he could hear her. Both parties blushed, but grinned.

"Great. How about Friday?"

"Ok, assuming that your telepathy is gone, of course." Janet pointed out and Daniel nodded, grinning like an idiot.

Go, Danny!

Good job, Daniel. came the responses from the truck in front of them, causing Daniel to blush even more.

Thanks guys. the young man replied and continued driving. After bout 7 hours of driving, everyone needed to stop for gas and breaks. Jack went inside to pay for gas just as Sam came out of the small bathroom. Ask he walked up to the gum-popping teenage girl behind the counter, he looked at Sam and grinned.

"Go ahead and get you some strawberry ice-cream if you want it that much." He said.
"How did you know that I wanted strawberry icecream?" Sam asked in return as she went to the small container of ice cream bars.

"I can read your mind, remember? I know you too well."

Aw, such a cute couple. Why cant Brad be like that? came a voice from behind the counter. I wish my boyfriend could read my mind. Sex would be...

"I got $20 on pump 5." Jack quickly interrupted, causing Sam to giggle. "And the ice cream cone, of course."

"$23.46" the girl replied, taking the offered money and gathering change. Brad would know that that stupid thing he does with his tongue is NOT a turn on! I don't know where he picked that...

"Thanks. Bye." Jack strained to hide the smile and failed miserably. Sam was turning blue from holding back, and as soon as the two were out of the store, they burst into laughter. Daniel passed them and went inside to pay for his own gas. When he came out a minute later, Jack and Sam were just calming down. As he passed them again, he grinned widely.

Brad needs a few lessons, doesn't he? Daniel said, causing Sam and Jack to lose it all over again.

The group continued to drive on as dark approached and they smiled to themselves as the sun began its descent. Jack began to get bored, even though he and Sam had made small talk all the way back. He grinned to himself.
Janet jumped as Daniel cried out. "Jack! Don't you dare start singing that!" She refrained from saying anything, figuring the Colonel was going to just annoy Daniel for a little while and then stop when he got bored with the teasing. Unfortunately over the next 20 minutes, she realized that Jack was indeed not stopping his torture of the archaeologist as Daniel progressively turned more and more red. She sighed and looked at Daniel.

"What in the world is he singing?" she finally asked. Daniel glanced at her and huffed.

"He is singing that silly, 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' song." He stopped for a moment then grinned. "Thank you, Sam. "

"What did she do?"

"She told him that if he didn't stop that she was going to start reciting Astrophysics calculations to him." Daniel replied. And I will start telling you ALL about how the Egyptians mummified each other, with all the gory details and everything he threatened.

"I thought he would have learned the first time." Janet commented and Daniel gave her an exasperated nod.

"Me too. But he said he wasn't trying to annoy us, just....sing."

"Right. Sure. Whatever you say, Colonel." Janet said aloud. Everyone fell silent as they continued their trip. Daniel suddenly got an idea after 45 minutes and grinned to himself.

Hey, Sam. Isn't your birthday coming up soon? he asked.

Yes, in about a week and a half, why? Sam replied warily.

Well, I was just thinking. How would you like a small party? At my place, everyone invited, of course. He offered.

That would be great, Daniel, thanks. Sam replied happily.

Ok, we can have balloons and cake and everything. Speaking of cake, how many candles will we need? He asked sweetly, then out right laughed as Sam accidentally answered him. She growled at the slip.

That was not funny, Dr. Jackson. Sam said.

Ok, well, how about this. What do you want for your birthday?

Ja........um.....a new phone. Sam caught herself. Jack grinned inside, but knew better than to actually smile.

A new phone? What kind of phone? Daniel asked, choosing to ignore the second slip. Sam, glad to not have to deal with any teasing, smiled.

I was a cordless phone. In blue.

Blue.

Yes. A blue cordless phone. It will look great in my bedroom. She informed them.

mmmm....Sam's bed....er....blue. Nice color, Carter. Jack said quickly.

Ok. A blue phone for you it is. Daniel said with a grin.

Yup. A blue phone and, oh, how many candles? Oh yeah, Thirty..

SIR!
Yet another uneventful hour of driving went by before anyone spoke, mentally or otherwise, again.

Jello, gallon of milk,spaghetti, 2lbs of bread... Sam thought to herself.

Shopping list? Jack asked.

Yeah...where was I? Oh yeah, 2 pound loaf of bread...

Why do you need 2 pound of bread? Jack asked.

For sandwiches. Sam answered sarcastically, with an underlying "Duh!" tone to it.

You cant eat 2 pound of bread by yourself before it goes bad! Jack said.

Of course I can.

No you cant, you aren't home enough.

I am too!

Not.

Too.

Not.

Yes, I can, sir. Besides, why are you so concerned about my foods longevity? she countered.

Well, wouldn't want you to waste. Besides, all you need is Jello and you are happy. Blue Jello, of course.

Jello can hardly keep you alive for long, sir.

No, but it can make you happy till you die. He said. Suddenly the conversation had turned serious.

You heard us, didnt you? Sam asked, both shocked and embarrassed.

Well, I couldn't help but catch a few things here and there. Jack answered.

Sorry, sir. Sam said, completely embarrassed now.

Not a problem, Sam. Jack answered softly. Sam was quiet for a moment.

Was it a surprise? she asked timidly.

Well, yes, a little. Jack laughed. Why do you think I ended up with a hook in my thumb? I wasn't paying attention to it. Sam laughed lightly at the mental picture that had caused.

Good to know I can still keep you on your toes, Colonel. she answered. It was Jack's turn to grin.

You always have, Carter. He replied. They sat in silence for a moment before it was broken by Daniel's sarcastic and amused voice.

Thank God that is over! I thought I was going to get a cavity if it got any sweeter.

Daniel! Shut up! the two officers cried in unison.

A/N: Whew! That was difficult. Hope I lived up to your expectations Happy Molecule. If not, then please tell me and I will try to make up for it somehow next chapter. If anyone else has challenges....please, don't let them include loaves of bread- that was HARD to work in there! Lol. Thanks and Review me, please!
