Previously on Stargate SG-1...

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...

---

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...

And now... the continuation!

"I suppose if I say it was an boring average day, you won't accept that?" Jack tried.

General Hammond raised his eyebrow in a good imitation of Teal'c.

"Ok... so.. day four..."

---

"Poochinsky?" Carter asked incredously.

Jack looked up, "It's a great show!"

Carter looked at her watch. 10:23. "I'm going to do dial Earth. I'll be back by 12 hours at the latest sir"

"Be safe, don't get locked off world, don't get caught, don't sit on boys laps..."

"COLONEL!"

Jack looked unrepentant.

She frowned at him then hurried off. He could hear her break into laughter once she reached the ground. He automatically smiled and turned back to his show.

Carter dialed the gate, half hoping it would engage, the other half hoping it wouldn't. It was kind of nice not having to save the world, yada yada. She did miss things like computers... Her laptop was running out of batteries. She pressed the red center. Nothing happened. She half sighed then headed back.

Jack looked at his watch 12: 11. He frowned.

Carter looked at her watch. 11:11. She plopped down underneath a big tree. "I'll just rest here a bit" she thought. It was only a 15-minute hike back...

12:31...

"That's it, I'm going after Carter" Jack declared grabbing his cap and dashing for the balcony.

Teal'c followed him, "O'Neill, this world is uninhabited. The path to the Stargate clear of any obstacles. Most likely Major Carter has merely stopped for a rest"

Jack quickly beamed himself down and hurried to the Stargate.

Carter started and looked at her watched. 11:34. She scrambled to her feet. She'd have to hurry to make it 'home' by 1200 hours.

Jack got more and more worried as the minutes ticked by and he still didn't see her. He quickened his pace unaware Teal'c was following him.

Carter had just begun her hike when the form of her CO appeared. He looked stressed. "Sir?" she yelled.

Jack thought he could die happy. Carter was fine. She was alive...

"Sir, what are you doing here?"

He slowed down, "You went way past curfew. Teal'c and I were getting a bit concerned"

Carter glanced at her watch, "It's only 11:36 sir"

Jack looked at his, "No, yours is an hour off"

"I don't think so sir, Teal'c, what time is it?"

Jack started. He wasn't aware that Teal'c had followed him. "It is 11:36 Major Carter" his deep voice said.

Carter looked up, "Sorry to have worried you sir"

Jack felt like shaking Teal'c. That man KNEW it wasn't time for check in but hadn't said anything. Without a word, he turned and headed for the hut.

---

"Colonel?" General Hammond's voice cut in.

Jack started, "We watched a bit of TV and checked to see if you were up and running, stuff like that"

Carter and Teal'c didn't refute his words thought they knew them not to be entirely accurate.

---

Jack stormed into 'his' bedroom and slammed the door. As he was removing his jacket, he heard the door open.

"I don't want to hear it." he said.

Teal'c looked at him but didn't say a word.

"Good, cos I'm not in the mood. "

Teal'c continued to stand quietly.

Jack sighed, "All right, what?" he demanded turning to face his friend.

"Major Carter has felt a similar sense of frustration when you've been missing. She despaired at the thought of never seeing 1you again."

Jack looked around for something to deflect the gravity of the situation. "Not you?" he asked.

"Indeed. You are like a brother to me O'Neill. "

"You're like what? 140?"

Teal'c frowned "A younger brother perhaps. But that is not my point."

"Look T, I know what you're trying to do and I appreciate it."

Teal'c sighed. "O'Neill, If you will not listen to reason, listen to your heart" he said softly before stealing out of the room and shutting the door softly.

Jack plopped on the bed and sighed, "Oh boy"

Carter was sitting on the couch, staring unseeingly at the TV screen when Teal'c immerged from Jack's room. "How is he Teal'c?" she asked, her voice neutral.

"O'Neill will be fine" he said taking a seat beside her. "He was much distressed at your disappearance"

"Teal'c, let's not go there" Carter pleaded.

"Very well." he stopped "How is Martouf?"

She sent him a questioning glance, "Haven't seen him in a while"

"I see"

"Teal'c, what is this about? You turned the lights off, you have us 'make up', you do this... whatever it is... what's going on?"

"Nothing Major Carter"

She refrained from rolling her eyes "Teal'c..."

"Major Carter, perhaps you would like something to eat?" Teal'c asked rising "I have made one of the traditional dishes of Chu'lak"

Carter nodded, "Sure, I'll try it"

"Oh my god Teal'c, what is this?" she asked a few minutes later.

"It is called Tianta. It is made from fish and various other items."

She swallowed hard, "It's umm... very good"

Teal'c smiled broadly, "Thank you Major Carter". He took a plate and filled it. "I shall take this to O'Neill." he said leaving the room. As soon as he had gone, Carter grabbed her plate and dumped it in the trash.

Knock Knock...

Jack looked up, "Yes?"

Teal'c entered, "I have brought you substance O'Neill"

"Thanks T" he said automatically taking the plate and taking a bite. He froze, "Umm, what is this?"

"It is Tianta. As I have explained..."

"Buddy, this is great!" he said with a false smile, "But I'm really tired, could you put this in the fridge..."

Teal'c inclined his head as he accepted the plate. "Sleep well O'Neill"

Jack nodded

---

"After lunch?" Daniel asked

"We watched some more television" Teal'c answered

---

Prepare for an X-treme adventure. Four X-cellent heroes in an X-traordinary new sci-fi series. Starring Nick Marlowe as the wry Colonel Danning. Danning looks up after knocking out two men "As a matter of fact it does say Colonel on my uniform."

"Yolanda Reese as the brilliant Major Stacey Monroe." She looks up "The pulse drive field emitters are off line but I can compensate by generating a feed back loop"

"Raymond Gunne as Dr Levant." The man looks up "Dammit Colonel, just because they're aliens and their skulls are transparent, doesn't mean that they don't have rights!"

"And introducing Douglas Anders as Grell the robot. Wormhole X-treme, coming this fall only on…"

Teal'c raised his eyebrows "What is this show?"

Carter shrugged, "I'm not sure"

"Do you wish me to turn it off?"

"Nah, what else do we have to watch?"

Jack wandered out of his bedroom. His 2IC was constantly arguing with the TV character that appeared to be representing her. "THAT IS SO FAKE TEAL'C!" she argued "This is so aggravating" she muttered a second later. "You can not generate power for a pulse-"

"Major Carter, are you enjoying this show?"

Carter stopped, "Yeah, I guess"

"Then let us watch it"

Jack smiled and hurried into the kitchen to made something edible to eat.

---

"We ate dinner and went to bed sir"

General Hammond looked over at Carter as if she was to confirm this.

"Yes sir, we ate then we went to... bed"

---

"Truth or dare"

"Dare"

Jack thought about this for a second, "Open all the boxes of blue jello and dump it on the floor"

"Chicken" she said instantly.

A wicked gleam came into his eyes, "Or skinny dipping..."

Her eyes opened wide...
