A/N: Okies, so I'm hoping this story is going well and all. Right now I'm planning the end and there's a possibility for a sequel. -Cheers-. So anyway, I know ya'll are probably screaming "Get on with the chapter", so here it is.
After an even more confusing trip trough the corridors of the SGC, Daniel and a bemused Sarah arrived at the slightly ajar door to Jack's office. Daniel Slowly reached a hand up to knock, Sarah waiting out of sight. Upon hearing the knock, Jack looked up from the paperwork he was finally attempting and smiled. "Danny! Just the man I wanted to see. I assume Carter finally found you?" He said smiling and motioning for him to enter. "Has your new recruit arrived yet?" He added as Daniel entered the room, Sarah in tow.
Daniel nodded, smirking. "Yes Jack. This is Sarah Jackson. Sarah," he said, diverting his gaze to her, "this is General Jack O'Neill."
"Nice to meet you kiddo. Welcome to the team." Jack said, nodding in her direction.
"It's a pleasure to meet you General O'Neill." She said, politely, trying to hide her annoyance at being called kiddo. Now that she was finally 18, she was looking forward to being treated like an adult and not being called kiddo anymore.
"Please. I hate formalities. Call me Jack. So, you ever considered joining the Air Force Kiddo?" He said, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Not really. Anthropology and linguistics are more my things."
"Are you sure she'd not related to you Daniel? I mean you too have the same last name, look freakishly alike, and are both obsessed with your rocks." Jack said, jokingly.
Daniel shook his head lightly. "No Jack. It's just a coincidence. Oh, and by the way. Sarah still needs a locker and possibly on base quarters. My apartment's a mess and I'd rather her not stay there alone when I'm here overnight." Daniel said solemnly.
Jack glanced at his desk warily. "That might take some time Danny boy. I've still got all this paper work to do and you know me. I HATE paperwork."
"I'll be fine Daniel. I don't mind messes. After all, I am 18." Sarah added quickly.
"You heard her Daniel. She'll be fine. She can even drive herself home like a big girl." Jack said sarcastically.
Daniel sighed. "Fine, but just until you get around to it. I don't like the idea of you having to stay by yourself at home at night."
"You're sounding like my dad Daniel." She said jokingly.
"You should listen to the girl Daniel." Jack said quickly, "I do have something that will cheer you up. You won't have to share your lab. One of our scientists just resigned and Sarah can have the lab, seeing as you weren't too happy about having to share."
"My own lab! Awesome. I'm going to see it now." Sarah said excitedly.
"Fine Sarah. Ask one of the airmen to show you the way and put your stuff there please. It's crowded enough already in my lab. I'll meet you in a hour for our tour." He said.
Sarah nodded. "It was nice to meet you sir." She said before heading for the door.
"Oh Sarah. Meet me at O'12 hundred hours for lunch. We have some things to discuss. And it's Jack" He said quickly. Sarah quickly nodded before darting out of the room.
