A/N: WOO-HOOO! I am free from school till January, so hopefully this story will be updated more now. Also, I am happy to say that I am going to the SG convention in Arlington, VA- and if anyone else who reads this is going, please tell me! I am going to be totally alone there and I was hoping to meet someone there to hang out with. R&R—Loo
Triss, having taken over again from Thalia, breathed deeply as they entered the building with the golden arches outside. She could smell the grease as soon as she was through the door and smiled. She had heard a lot about "fast food" and was anxious to try some, regardless of the mumblings of Janet behind her. When she looked at the menu behind the counter girl, she sighed happily. So many choices! Unfortunately, before she could get to the counter, a man jumped in front of her, effectively cutting her off. As he was rattling off hi order, Triss glared at him.
"Have you made your choice yet, Triss?" Sam asked beside her and the muse nodded, still glaring. She was anxious and did not want to wait on this rude man. Finally, after she was sure he had bought every piece of meat and potato in the restaurant, the man grabbed his tray and began to walk away. Triss walked to the counter and began to give her order, as she had seen him do. But before she could finish, the entire place erupted in laughter. SG1 turned to see what the commotion was about and couldn't help but laugh. Strung from the man's pants was at least 20 feet of toilet paper trailing behind him. It was during their laughter that they realized that he hadn't had this problem a moment ago while he was in front of them. They would have noticed. As one body, they all turned to look accusingly at Triss, who only shrugged and finished giving her order.
When they finally sat down with their food, Triss dug out her hamburger and fries, then picked out the small children's toy. She had chosen to get the small race car instead of the small Barbie and started playing with it, zooming it over the table and even over Daniel's arm, who had sat beside her.
Twenty minutes later, she was still playing when everyone else had finished eating.
"Triss, you need to eat instead of play." Sam said, sounding so much like a mother to a petulant child that she almost frightened herself. Triss sighed, put the toy down, and began to eat. SG1 looked on in amazement as she practically inhaled the meal, then stood to discard their trash.
"So, where to now?" Jack asked, having ran out of ideas.
"What about the park?" Daniel suggested.
"Nah, we can do the park tomorrow when we have more supplies and time."
"The zoo?"
"Too late to…..where is Triss?" Jack asked suddenly, looking around and not seeing the alien. Everyone felt their stomachs turn cold as they also looked around and didn't see her. "Alright, Carter and Doc, you check the bathroom, Daniel, T, you check the parking lot, I will look in here." Jack snapped out the orders as if on a mission off-world and they group split up.
After 20 minutes of search, Daniel, Teal'c, Sam, and Janet met inside.
"My God, we've lost her already." Sam cringed.
"Hammond is going to kill us. Hey, where is Jack?" Daniel asked, now looking for the MIA Colonel.
"Oh, great, we've lost him, too!" Janet cried. Fortunately for them, they heard a cry from outside and rushed out to the back play area. Jack was there, looking up into a tunnel that was also a slide.
"Triss, why? Why did you have to get in there?" he cried, obviously both amused and angry at the same time. The team heard scrambling inside the top of the tunnel and deduced that Triss was there.
"What is she doing in there?" Sam asked, now looking into the tunnel herself, though seeing nothing.
"She's stuck, Carter." Jack answered and sighed. Sam just groaned.
"Triss! Can you hear me?" Janet called.
"Indeed, I can, Dr. Frasier." Triss answered.
"Can you not wiggle your way back to the top and come out…however you got in there?" Janet asked.
"I will try." Triss answered. They all held their breath as they heard her moving Thankfully, a few moments later, they saw her head poke out from the top of the tunnel with a triumphant cry.
"Get down here!" Jack yelled and Triss made her way to them, purposefully going through the plastic balls to get to them and pausing to play. "TRISS! NOW!"
Jack's only response was a red ball flying out and hitting him square in the face.
A/N: Ok, so how was that? Honesty here, guys! I love ya---Loo
