"Dum dee dum de dum…"

"Jack!"

"Mmm?"

"What's up?"

"Not much, you?"

"Actually… not much."

"So…"

"Yeah."

"Sounds good Danny!"

"Right." Daniel ran off as Jack continued to stroll down the corridors of the SGC idly humming a nonsense tune. His legs brought him to a most delectable place. Major Carter's lab.

"Hiya Carter!"

"Hi sir, how are you?"

"Jack is fine, you?"

"I'm good, sir, what can I—?" She stopped and looked at him. "What did you say?"

"Jack said nothing."

"Sir?"

"Yes?"

"Umm… nothing." She knew something was up, but what?

"Okay."

"Anyway… so how was your weekend?"

"Jack's weekend was fine, yours?" Sam put down her stuff and stared at him. The longer she stared at him, the more it made her realize what a good poker face he had. And this was her colonel she was talking about… well, never mind…

"Did you just say 'Jack's weekend was fine'?" He shrugged.

"Maybe."

"You are speaking in third person aren't you!"

"Yep."

"Can Sam join you?"

"Yep."

"Jack and Sam have a briefing at 900 hours."

"Sam knows."

"Good, Jack wants to torture Daniel."

"Sound like a plan to Sam sir."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Hi Jack, hi Sam," Daniel greeted them as they all sat around the table. They were patiently waiting for Hammond and Teal'c had yet to say a word.

"Hi Teal'c," Sam said happily.

"Good morning Major Carter."

"Hiya T."

"Good morning O'Neill." Then Hammond came strolling out.

"Sorry people, some presidents don't know how to get off the phone." Daniel, Sam, and Jack chuckled appreciatively. "So major, if you'd like to start the briefing?"

"Yes sir." She stood up and handed out some folders. "Sam thinks that this planet is surrounded by an EM field that effectively breaks down the wormhole. Sam's guess is that if we boost the power by say 5 percent, we could make it to the planet unharmed." Daniel stared at Sam trying to make out what he just heard.

"Sam, could you say what you think again?"

"Yeah sure, no problem Daniel. Sam said that she thinks that the strong EM field surrounding this planet could break apart our wormhole."

"Thanks, that's enough."

"Okay." Hammond seemed blissfully unaware of what was occurring, but Teal'c, who was aware of everything, had his eyebrow raised high.

"Colonel, are you willing to take this risk?"

"Jack's willing to request permission to take this trip." Hammond looked at him queerly.

"Ok colonel. Dismissed." Hammond got up and walked away, leaving SG-1 in the room alone.

"Jack thinks this will be fun."

"Sam thinks so too."

"You guys?"

"Yeah?"

"Stopping speaking in the third person."

"Jack and Sam aren't speaking in third person."

"Yes you are."

"No, Sam and Jack have fun speaking in the third person. Maybe Daniel will try it?"

"Teal'c! Help me on this one!"

"Teal'c will not have any say in the matter." Daniel let go a particularly loud noise of annoyance and stormed out of the room in a flurry of papers. He left Jack, Sam, and even Teal'c smiling.

"Teal'c believes O'Neill has greatly annoyed Daniel Jackson." Jack and Sam had a crazy wide-mouthed grin on their faces.

"Jack agrees."
