A/N: about the F-14 Tomcat..... its actually a Navy plane, but we'll just say that Faolan and Seanait had flown it for some strange reason and asked the General if he could ask for two for them

"Come on, you guys, let's go for dinner!" The three team members looked up from their respective work to stare at Jack. Then they all looked at each other and nodded. They needed some time off. They changed into civilian clothes and headed out. Jack and Teal'c were in Jack's truck and Sam and Daniel were in Sam's Volvo. Whenever this arrangement occurred, it was war. Whoever got to the restaurant last had to pay. Last trip out, Jack had been late because of 'traffic problems.' Sam always countered that maybe Jack should try her way because there was never any traffic. Jack wanted to go his own way and get lost. Even Daniel and Teal'c took part in the game, it was pretty funny.

"Sam, watch that car… phew."

"It's fine Daniel, now let's go catch up with the guys!"

"O'Neill, should you not stop at a yellow light?"

"T, my friend, yellow only means yield or slow down, it never did say 'stop.'" Teal'c nodded thoughtfully as Jack revved his truck and took off again. On the other hand, Daniel and Sam were really getting into it.

"Move it, you slowpoke!" Sam turned to Daniel in surprise.

"Is that the best you can do Daniel?" Daniel shrugged and blushed a bit. Traffic was slow again. "Move it asshole!" she yelled. Now Daniel turned to Sam, he'd never heard such nasty words out of her mouth. Sam sensed that he was gaping at her and smiled. "I hate traffic."

Daniel nodded. "I see. Now let's beat Jack and Teal'c, I'm running out of money!" Sam knew this was far from the truth, SGC personnel got paid quite well. At any rate, Sam responded to his plea, she didn't feel like paying a bill tonight either. The major gunned her engine.

"Hang on."

--------------------------------

Minutes later, a silver Volvo and a black truck slid into the driveway of O'Malley's. The cars skidded to a halt. The passengers unbuckled, opened the doors, jumped out, and started to run inside. Sam and Daniel were really hungry, so they had more incentive to run faster, but Teal'c and Jack were pretty fast on their own. Jack's incentive was that he wanted to catch Daniel and pull him backwards, so he could get in first. You only didn't pay for the bill was if both teammates were in the restaurant before the other team. Daniel saw Jack coming and ran for it. He grabbed Sam and pulled her along. They were running like there was a contingent of staff weapon-wielding Jaffa were on their rear. Sam and Daniel burst through the doors before their counterparts could. The doorwoman was used to this, it happened all the time with these people.

"Hello again," she greeted kindly. Sam and Daniel got their breath back as Jack and Teal'c bust in. It wasn't a strenuous run, or a long one, but the adrenaline made their heart rate go up and was making them breathe harder. The waitress waited politely for them to catch their breath. She chuckled to herself, she knew what was up. She also knew them pretty well.

"Colonel Jack, Major Sam, Daniel, Murray. Who's paying tonight?" she asked. She wouldn't stop calling Jack and Sam by their ranks and first name and they knew she did it on purpose. They hated it. Sam and Daniel grinned and pointed at the losers. Jack scowled at them.

"They are, Jen. It's there bill today… err… again," Sam said and Daniel grinned widely. "How was the traffic today sir?" Sam wondered sarcastically. Jack scowled deeper which only served to make Daniel, Sam, and Jen laugh. Teal'c raised the famous eyebrow at the commotion. Jen laughed again in good humor.

"This way you guys."

They sat down at their table and waited for the waitress to return. They joked about what happened last time they had been at O'Malley's.

"What do you want Carter?" Jack asked. Sam thought about that and gave him an evil look. Jack thought she was going to pick the most expensive meal there.

"Three steaks, sir," she said seriously. Daniel and Teal'c piped up too.

"Three for me too Jack, nah, maybe four, Teal'c?" Daniel played along. Teal'c knew what they where doing, he was now experienced enough in human sarcasm to pick up on it. He had also read the report from that particular 'mission.' He looked thoughtful at the question. He grinned.

"I shall consume three steaks Daniel Jackson," the big Jaffa ordered up. Jack scowled again at the joke. It didn't last long though, soon enough they all laughed heartily, even Teal'c joined in a little.
