Hope you like this chapter!

Previously on Stargate SG-1...

"SG-1, did you take pictures?"

Jack squirmed.

"Colonel O'Neill?"

Jack tossed two pictures across the table. Hammond examined them closely.

"Colonel, I thought you said it was snowing"

"It was sir"

He held up the picture for everyone to see. It had been taken by Jack and showed Carter in a bikini and Teal'c in swim trucks.

"Jack!" Jacob hissed.

George held up the second picture then burst into loud laughter.

Now... the continuation!

"Colonel, is that-" Carter began when she saw Jack's huge grin. "SIR!"

George couldn't stop laughing. This was too rich...

Jacob hurried over and snatched the picture out of his hand. His face contorted with laughter.

"What?" Davis, Janet, and Daniel demanded.

Jacob handed the photo the Davis.

"Oh my... can I get a copy!"

"SIR!" came Carter's agonized wail.

Daniel looked at it before passing it to Janet. Folding his hands while trying to not to smile, he studied Sam "Did YOU have a concussion Sam?"

"We- we umm-"

Janet didn't bother conceal her mirth. "HALLOWEEN?"

Carter muttered something about 'Colonel's'

"And Dorothy, Sam, I never pictured you..."

She buried her face in her arms.

"Teal'c, The Cowardly Lion?"

"O'Neill told me his name was The Brave Lion"

Janet giggled.

Teal'c reached into his pocket "I was afraid O'Neill would have to at some point give up the pictures I knew he carried in his pocket. I came prepared.

Jack paled dramatically.

"May I see it?" Hammond asked.

"Very well"

Jack reached for the picture futilely.

"Tin Man?"

"I'm going to kill Thor" Jack muttered.

"So how did this happen?" Jacob asked curiously.

Two groans came from the 'Earthlings'. Teal'c remained unmoved.

"General Hammond, I will inform you of these past events"

"All right, go ahead Teal'c"

"Very well"

----------

Day 11 began normally. They got up around seven, they finished off the cold cereal as the milk was going bad and then went to check in. All in itself a almost normal day...

As Jack and Sam hurried back, they met a peculiar figure.

"O'Neill, I have come to ask you what purpose this serves"

Jack cleared his throat loudly "That's a costume Teal'c"

"I meant the figure"

"It's a lion"

"It came in an emerald green box. There are three more costumes. Will you not try one on?"

"I think I'll-"

"It is my wish O'Neill"

Jack squirmed. He had a feeling one way or another; he would end wearing it. Better he putting it on then Teal'c. Carter had come to the same conclusion.

"Anything for a buddy"

As they entered the small room Sam gasped.

The room literally had bags and bags of candy. Props and various things propped against the wall gave Sam a crazy idea.

"Sir..."

"Carter, I doubt"

"Maybe!"

"What is it you wish for Major Carter?"

"Ok, I have an idea..."

--------

"We invited several groups of children from various planets to come and participate in the festivities.

"WHAT?"

Teal'c removed three more pictures from his pocket. One showed a huge clearing filled with bounce house, game booths, a mini pool, and various other things...

"Wow" George said involuntarily.

The second one had 'Dorothy' surrounded by three little girls all sliding down the huge inflatable slide.

The third had Jack holding up a little boy so he could make a hoop in the basket. The look on his face was pure joy.

George's face softened. He knew Jack missed his son fiercely and that to help fill the ache, he volunteered at Charlie's old school whenever he could but... he looked at the pictures again. "Continue"

---------

The team worked hard to set it up. By two they had finished. "A quick bite to eat and off we go"

Sam made lunch and they ate quickly. Gathering their stuff, they first dialed home (no answer) then dialed the first planet...

By five o'clock, they had about fifty-five children ranging from four to fourteen, a half a dozen mothers had come along to watch over the children and two fathers came along to make sure it was safe.

Carter had returned home after the second planet to make food. Sandwiches, she baked the two last pies, she dug out the last two gallons of chocolate ice cream (ok, so she hid one of them) and pulled out the brightly colored sprinkles. The last pizza was slowly cooking and now they were just waiting for the...

The door opened and a sea of children swarmed in. Carter's eyes widened. They had only managed to get twenty-five children from the other two planets. How had the Colonel gotten the other race to agree to send so many children? She looked carefully at the newcomers and saw they were Abydonian. No wonder they had all come, they adored him!

"Carter! You have enough food?"

"I think so sir"

"Well, I'll help you get it out there" he yelled some directions to one of the women who nodded understanding.

He hurried over "What can I do?"

"Cut the pizza in slices"

They worked quietly and efficiently. The kids ate with gusto. Three towering plates of sandwiches and a huge pizza later, they begged for dessert.

Carter and Jack dished out the ice cream and cut out pie for what seemed like hours.

"This is the hundredth scoop of ice cream I've given out," Jack complained.

She couldn't help it, she giggled.

"You laughing at me Carter?"

"No sir" she whispered still giggling.

"You are!"

"No sir!"

He grabbed her by the shoulders "You shan't any more" and without thinking he kissed her.

She was surprised and pulled away quickly.

"Oh god Carter, I'm so sorry" he automatically apologized.

"Why?" she whispered wetting her lips.

"I..."

She pulled him closer...

- - -

Teal'c glanced over at the 'cafeteria' and nearly gasped. His teammates were locked together.

"Children, please go outside. The games will begin"

The children instantly obliged, chattering to each other.

Teal'c hated to know but he knew he had too. He dropped a glass then left.

- - -

Jack and Sam pulled away instantly. They watched the retreating form then turned to face each other.

"Sam..."

"Jack, sir, that is... well, we should go help..."

"Sam..." he whispered again longingly.

"Sir, you know we can't," she said trying not to show how much pain this was causing her.

He brushed her cheek then nodded.

She gave him a shaky smile and they hurried out.

- - - - - - - - -

"We had a festival for the children and they much enjoyed it. We took the holiday 'Halloween' and set up various booths so the children could play games and earn sugar confections."

"Candy sir." Jack translated.

Hammond nodded. It was like SG-1, They were all extremely found of children. "After the children left?" he asked.

"Well..."

- - - - - - - - -

Jack knocked down the last stand and sighed. "That was fun"

Carter sighed, "A blast. Next time, Let's stick withtwenty kids."

"I agree." Teal'c said stretching.

Jack lifted the stand up. "Ay yi yi yi" he muttered, "This is heavy"

Carter automatically went over to help him. The two got it inside then sighed.

"I'm hot"

"The shower is not in working condition," Teal'c announced.

"Gosh darn it" Jack muttered.

Carter had disappeared and appeared in a very interesting swimsuit. It was a bright, bright blue bikini. Bright Blue. Did I mention BRIGHT blue..?

"Wow"

She blushed "My other suit is ruined. This is all I have sir"

"No, no, no, it's nice," he said quickly. He froze "Did I just say that aloud?"

"Indeed" Teal'c said with a raised eyebrow.

Carter blushed "Hurry up you two. We can take a dive then head in"

They were already inside.

- - - - - - -

"We swam around a bit then hit the sack sir"

Hammond nodded accepting this, for now. He knew Teal'c would fill him later if he needed to know anything else.

"We'll will take another recess," he said in a tone everyone recognized as final.

Major Davis, inwardly grumbling (after all, this was fascinating to listen to!), got up and headed straight for the phone. Jacob and Sam left and headed towards her lab. Daniel and Janet moseyed off towards the commissary while Jack, after giving Teal'c a questioning glance, headed off towards the unknown. The General alone remained.

"Teal'c?"

"I do not know if I should show you this but it might perhaps explain some of the events happening"

Hammond accepted the envelope Teal'c handed him. With a slight bow, the Jaffa left. He opened it.

It contained two photos; One showing 'Dorothy' Sam and 'Tin' Jack laughing over something the Jaffa must have said. The other showed the two tugging on opposite ends of something. The look on their faces made a tear appear in his eye. He knew the regs existed for a reason but sometimes…

"George, you ok?"

He looked up and saw Jacob in the doorway. He stuffed the photos in his pocket "Fine, how is the Tok'ra thing going?"

"Can I see the photos?"

George hesitated then nodded.

Jacob pursued them carefully. He sighed, "He loves her doesn't he?"

"I think so"

He sighed again "George, what's going to happen?"

"I don't know"

Jacob looked downcast then brightened up "How many days were they on the planet?"

"12 or so"

"Then we have a full days worth of briefing!"

"That we do... that we do..."

The two General's rubbed their hands evilly and sat to wait for the return of SG-1 and assorted personnel to the torture- err Briefing Room...

The next one (yeah right) should be longer... so, day 11 done, day 12, going home...

All right, hoped you liked it, it was slightly different from the rest of my chapter so... anyways,

PLEASE review!
