11:27 p.m.

A loud pounding sound jarred Jack O'Neill from blissful sleep. He stared at the clock, confused, wondering who could possibly be at his door at this time of night. Rubbing his eyes, Jack's feet hit the floor as another round of pounding came from his front door.

"Just a minute!" He called impatiently as his mind struggled to wake up.

Ready to kill whoever had woken him, Jack flung his front door open.

Teal'c.

"What's wrong?" Jack said, his mind instantly alert. "Goa'uld, Tok'ra, Asgard?"

"We don't have much time." Teal'c said. "Get dressed quickly, O'Neill, we must go immediately."

Jack nodded, ran back into his bedroom, and threw on some clothes. Whatever it was obviously couldn't wait.

"I'll drive." Jack offered, grabbing the keys to his truck.

Teal'c nodded and both of them hurried down the walkway to Jack's F-350.

As if on automatic pilot, Jack turned to go towards the SGC, but Teal'c stopped him. "We are not going to Stargate Command. I shall direct you which way to turn."

"Teal'c what's going on?" Jack asked, clearly confused.

But the jaffa said nothing.

Jack sighed, knowing Teal'c would only tell him what was going on when he was ready.

"Turn right here, O'Neill."

"Here?"

"Yes."

Jack did as he was told, and turned into a parking lot in the middle of Colorado Springs. As he pulled closer to the building, he could see a large crowd of people milling around outside.

"What the hell is going on, Teal'c?" Jack asked as he brought his truck to a stop.

But Teal'c didn't answer, instead the jaffa jumped out of the truck and quickly headed towards the building.

With a frustrated growl, Jack followed his lead, pushing his way through the crowd of people that had gathered.

"T?" Jack called, entering the building and looking around for his friend.

Jack finally caught sight of the large man across the room. "What is going on here?"

Teal'c turned to him with a wide smile, an expression Jack rarely ever saw from him.

"We have arrived just in time." Teal'c said, handing Jack a small piece of paper.

"In time for what?"

"The premiere of Revenge of the Sith."

Jack's eyes widened as he looked down at the movie ticket Teal'c had given him.

Oh, for crying out loud...
