Previously on Stargate SG-1...
Everyone watched as Major Carter unconsciously began to hum the tune that every American knows..."Zip-a-dee-doo-dah..."
GeneralHammond thought back to one time, about 25 years ago... when the same girl had sung the song... He just smiled and cleared his throat
She looked up "Sorry sir"
"That's alright Major"
She nodded "Should I continue?"
"Please"
"Ok… So day three..."
And now... the continuation!
"Scavenger hunt?"
Carter promised that she would never be surprised at what her Commanding Officer suggested. A promise she would break later...
"Yeah, why not?" he asked not sensing much enthusiasm
"Sir... a SCANVEGER hunt... what are we, six... sir?" she asked
Jack shrugged "It'd be fun. Right Teal'c?"
"O'Neill has assured me I would enjoy it greatly," he said rather slowly. O'Neill had assured him he would like fishing... (And we all know how that turned out.)
"And you TRUST him?" Carter asked disbelievingly
"Hey!"
Carter smirked "Sorry sir"
"Teal'c! I hid the jello, you ready?"
Her smirk disappeared "Jello?"
"Yep. I hid all the chocolate I could find, most of the coffee and ALL of those little boxes of blue jello..."
"Sir!"
"Wanna play?" he asked
She gritted her teeth "I'd love too..."
He grinned, "Let's go!"
"Well, I... we uh... we had a umm... scavenger hunt... sir"
General Hammond looked surprised, "You had a WHAT?"
"Scavenger hunt sir" Jack spoke up, "It was a blast sir."
Carter developed a coughing fit and Teal'c cleared his throat several times loudly.
"IT. WAS. FUN" Jack said again, glaring at his two friends.
Carter and Teal'c exchanged glances, "Yeah, it was a blast," they said with obvious sarcasm.
"Sir... we've been looking for it for two hours!"
Jack's map had 'disappeared' and he insisted he had forgotten where he had hid 'the treasure'. So they were combing the small forest as Jack 'thought' that was were he had last been...
Carter sighed, "I have to go... I'll be right back" and with that she headed toward the hut at a run
"Where's Carter going?" Jack asked looking up
"I believe she is using the facilities" Teal'c said peering behind a bush.
Jack smiled and nodded. A second later he looked up, "Umm... I remember where the stuff is!"
Carter opened the door to the bathroom. A second later a loud scream was heard.
Jack winced, "Think she'll be mad?" he asked
"O'Neill, you have forced her to climb trees, ford water, lied to her andinsisted that sheremain out in the heat for over two hours. I believe she will be most 'ticked' as you say."
"Colonel O'Neill had forgotten the location of the treasure. Major Carter found it, then we proceeded to dial home and see if the other gate was set up..."
At that, Jack looked up and glared at Carter.
Carter sneaked out and hurried to the Stargate. The gate was over a mile away so if she activated it, no one should be able to it. She quickly dialed a neutral planet. Hurrying through, she checked it out. Nope. She dialed 'home'. Once there, she tried another planet. She came back very damp. Perfect!
"Sir, we should probably go see if the other gate is set up!" she called
Jack gave her a suspicious glance. She hadn't said a word to him about the 'jello' trick. Teal'c, however, was already following her, so, with a sigh, he followed Teal'c out.
Carter quickly dialed the gate "Sir, it's up!" she called "I already sent my GDO code through"
Jack nodded "Ok, you go first, Teal'c and I will follow"
Carter grimaced. This was not going right. With a slight sigh, she 'tripped' over her shoes "Oww" she cried
"O'Neill, you go first, I'll bring Major Carter" Teal'c called catching Carter's pleading glance.
"Bring her?"
"She has appeared to have hurt her knee. Have a medical team summoned."
Jack nodded and dashed through. A second later, the gate deactivated. Carter sprang to her knees and quickly dialed another world.
'She grinned "Thanks Teal'c"
"Uh.. Sam, what's the matter with Jack?"
She looked over at him, "Sir, is something the matter?" she asked opening her blue eyes wide
He barely managed to restrain himself from shaking her "Everything is fine... Carter"
Jack cursed himself for hiding her blue jello. It was raining like it never rained on Earth! He tried to remember the address to any of those nice tropical worlds but came up empty. Only 21 minutes until he could gate 'home'
Carter watched as the gate activated and a soaked Jack dashed through. Once on the other side, he calmly rang his hat out, shook his head and said quietly "This means war..."
"I beg your pardon?" Major Davis was saying
Jack looked up "Sorry?"
"What about war?" Daniel asked
"What?"
"You said something about war" Davis said, secretly hoping they would spill the beans on something that had happened there. Obviously SOMETHING had by the way they kept smirking and giggling...
"No I didn't"
Daniel frowned, "Yes you did"
"Did not"
"Did-" he stopped, "Ok, anyways, get on with it Jack"
Jack had retaliated with a full-scale water fight. Carter got even by scratching the Simpson's DVD's. Jack stole the jello boxes and poured half of the boxes into the lake. This quickly was turning into no fun.
"O'Neill! Major Carter!"
"Teal'c?" they said simultaneously.
"Cease it this moment. You are acting like two Tau'ri children. This behavior is most unacceptable"
Jack had the grace to look ashamed "Yeah... sorry 'bout that Carter" he said helping her out of the water in which they had been fighting.
"Yeah, me too" she said, "Thank you sir"
"O'Neill, you promised you would teach me how to play this sometime" Teal'c began holding up a game,
The looked at each other "TWISTER?"
Jack nodded and sighed, "Ok, this is how you play..."
Later...
Carter flicked "Right hand, red, Teal'c" she called.
The large Jaffa gracefully shifted himself "Continue"
"Left foot, Green sir"
Jack, not quite as graceful as Teal'c, obeyed her "Ok"
"Left hand, yellow!"
Carter quickly snapped a picture as they continued to struggle.
"Carter!" Jack complained as he went crashing down
"Sir?"
"That darn light was too bright!" he whined, "It messed me up!"
"I have won O'Neill. Now, have you and Major Carter forgiven one another?"
They both nodded
"I see. According to your customs, you must kiss and make up"
"WHAT?"
Jack and Carter both looked at each other at the same time. The Jaffa had been quite insistent, so, feeling quite embarrassed, they quickly pecked each other's lips.
"What's going on?" Daniel asked, "You guys keep smiling at each other, it's really unnerving"
"Nothing" all was all they said...
"General, I'm feeling a it hungry, can we continue this later?" Jack asked pleadingly.
General Hammond nodded "Meet back here in an hour. Dismissed"
Everyone in the commissary watched as the small group trailed in, all looking hungry.
Carter hummed happily as she selected her blue jello "…plenty of sunshine, heading my way. Zip-a-dee-do-dah..."
"I remember the time your father and I took you to Disney World" George said with a fond smile.
Carter's head shot up "You do?" she asked, rather alarmed "Wow, that was a long time ago"
"You were about seven, and you complained you never got to see 'Daddy' anymore. So, Jacob and you flew up to Florida and we spent the weekend there. You had a blast; you charmed everyone into letting you have what you wanted. The staff loved you. They piled souvenirs on you and Jacob just about spoiled you to death"
"Wow Carter... thought you never went to Disney Land" Jack said staring at her. He distinctly remembered a conversation in which she had said she had never been to Disney Land.
"I went to Disney World. Much bigger" she said with a slight blush. She inwardly smiled. General Hammond had been kind not to reveal the 'true' meaning behind that song...
"I can just see you" Daniel said with a slight laugh, "Big Mickey Mouse ears, cotton candy, pins, necklaces... yeah"
"Indeed" Teal'c said thoughtfully. He privately thought Major Carter must have been an adorable child.
George chuckled "And you sang that silly song for the next several months... let me see... how does it go? Zip-a-dee-doo-dah..." and one by one the rest of the table joined in...
Back into the briefing room, General Hammond was once again his professional self "Teal'c, why don't YOU continue?"
"Very well. After we concluded our game, we tried another one..."
"...Y, Lord Yu"
Carter grinned "Z, Zat'niki'tel"
"A, Ashrack" Jack offered.
Carter yawned, "I'm tired" she commented, "And hungry"
Jack shook his head. Carter was ALWAYS hungry now. She was constantly eating. She had eaten more in the past few days then she did a week on Earth!
"Ok, what do we do now?"
"O'Neill, we have not had substance. Perhaps we should cook one of the bread and sauce confections"
"It's called PIZZA Teal'c, pizza" he stopped "Was that a joke? Good work T! I can never tell when you are joking or not"
Teal'c continued to stare at him.
"Ok... I'm going to go make pizza," Jack said hurrying out of the room.
"We ate and went to bed," he said folding his hand.
"That's all? No slip 'n' slide or anything?" Daniel asked.
SG-1 stiffened "Slip 'n' slide? Why would you say that Daniel?" Carter asked cautiously.
"Well, it sounds like you did some peculiar things, I was just asking".
They all sighed with relief inwardly...
"WEE" Carter yelled as she slid down the hallway. She had 'MacGyvered' a 'hose' and now they were all having the time of their life...
"Sir, have you ever seen MacGyver?" she asked sliding to a stop suddenly.
He paused "Why?"
"I just thought you looked like Richard Dean Anderson," she said with a slight shrug
"I saw it once or twice" he muttered
"I agree O'Neill. I have watched this show many times. You have very similar characteristics with the character"
"I uh..."
"Your file says that you were doing 'unspecified' things for seven years..." Carter said nonchalantly
"You READ MY FILE?"
"General Hammond gave me permission"
"So, you think I'm this Boy Scout genius dude?"
Carter shook her head, "MayGyver was a genius"
"He was TV character!"
She shrugged again, "I'll race you sir"
Jack nodded and the two of them went sliding down the hall.
Paul Davis hastily scribbled notes down "Ok, so you go to bed, what happens on day four?"
They grinned...
PLEASE REVIEW! Hope you liked it! Does it seem like it's getting to 'goofy' or unrealistic? oh well, let me know what you think!
