Previously on Stargate SG-1...

The two officers recalled their thoughts. "Of course" Jack said obligingly "Day 13…"

"WAIT!" Janet cried. "Didn't you have THE water figh-"?

"J A N E T!" Carter wailed.

"Do tell…" Daniel said with a smirk, "I'd like to know more"

"I think I'll just go to day-"

"I think not" Hammond said, "Water fight?"

Carter sighed. "We tossed water at each other, that's it."

George knew he wouldn't get much more out of her. He'd pump Janet for more information later.

"All right, last day…" Jack began.

Now... the continuation!

Carter woke up at 3:00 and wouldn't go back to sleep. After a solid hour of lying there and staring at the ceiling, she finally rolled out of bed. After dressing in her BDU's, she headed into the kitchen to make herself some coffee. Jack had already beaten her there.

"Carter?" he asked looking up from his mug "Did I wake you?"

She shook her head and fiddled with her dog tags. "No"

"Want a cup of coffee?" he asked rising and pouring a mugful.

She accepted it. "Thank you" she whispered.

Jack registered in the back of his head that she hadn't called him sir. Cheers!

"That's what friends are for," he said with a smile "To fetch one coffee"

Carter looked at her coffee unseeingly "Friends" she mumbled.

Jack felt the tension rise. The atmosphere had changed. "I-"

"What if I quit the Air Force? Would that change anything or is it just an excuse?"

Jack paused. "I would never ask you to give up your career," he said finally.

She gave a bitter chuckle "Because you don't feel anything for me?" she half asked, half stated.

"Carter." he said almost pleadingly.

"I'd let you go right now if I knew." she whispered.

Jack felt a bit hurt. "That easy?" he demanded.

She looked up. She looked tired "I didn't say it would be easy." she whispered.

"Carter, I do care for you. A lot more then I'm suppose to"

She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"But Earth needs us. Both of us"

She nodded miserably. "I know"

"But someday... someday Carter, our day will come."

She nodded. "All packed up?" she asked,

He shrugged "Yeah, I guess"

Carter sniffed herself discreetly. "Too bad the shower doesn't work"

He smiled. "Yes it is"

Teal'c stumbled out of his room, fully dressed. He headed straight for the coffee pot and poured a huge, steaming mug for himself. Gulping it down he sighed with pleasure.

"Thirsty big guy?"

"Indeed."

"So what do we do today?" Carter asked quietly.

"Finish sending the supplies to other worlds, pack our belongings and then enjoy ourselves."

"Sounds like a plan to me" Jack said rubbing his hands.

Sam nodded. "Ok"

They quickly packed and dragged their belongings to the gate. They tried Earth, it didn't activate. They finished sending the remaining supplies to their allies then sighed.

"I'm thinking we should come back around noon or so." Jack said stretching.

"Jack, that's not for another... six hours"

"Indeed."

"So?" Jack asked.

"Six hours. What do we do?"

"Are you… BORED Carter?"

She laughed and nodded "I guess I am" she admitted.

"So let's DO something!"

"Like what?" she challenged.

"Well..."

------

Jack and Teal'c exchanged glances and began tapping a rhythm on the table. Carter stiffened but didn't say anything. The rhythm increased in loudness. Everyone watched with fascination as Carter visibly tried to ignore them: First flipping through a folder then studying her nails all the while her fingers were slowly closing into fists.

"Dum, dum, dum dum" Jack and Teal'c hummed.

Jacob watched as his daughter with one swift move rose and snatching the cup of coffee out of the unsuspecting archeologists hand proceeded to fling it at the two men.

"HEY!" Jack sputtered pushing away "That's hot"

She smoothed her BDU's and sat down.

"What was that about?" Daniel demanded.

She smiled sweetly "Nothing" she said faking a yawn. "Shall I continue sir?"

"Yes..." Hammond said slowly staring at her. "Major, are you all-"

"Do you know sir, that Carter HATES the song..." Jack began.

Everyone leaned closer.

"Mary had a little lamb?"

-----

"Sir, so what's this great idea of yours?" Carter asked.

To her surprise, she found her self flung over a shoulder and the person took off full blast.

"Sir?"

Jack chuckled. A sinister sound. "You were bored," he reminded her.

As they neared the water, she guessed his plan, "No, sir, please, NO!"

And with a huge splash, she landed in the water.

-----

"You do?" Jacob asked surprised.

"You try listening to two people who can't sing, sing it for an hour" she said between clenched teeth.

"Oh, she thought it was great, she just didn't like the ducking we gave her"

"You ducked Sam?" Daniel asked. "In that lake?"

"Yes Daniel" Carter spat out "The water was freezing since that's where all the snow ended up!"

Jack and Teal'c both looked suitably ashamed. "We dried you off!" Jack defended them "Didn't we Teal'c?"

"Indeed"

She glowered at them.

"Major Carter?" George Hammond asked uncertainly.

She looked at him a bit shame faced. "Sorry sir" she muttered.

"What the heck is going on Jack?" Jacob called.

Jack squirmed. Now it wasn't QUITE as funny as it was... say, twelve seconds earlier.

"Yes Jack, do tell" Daniel said crossing his arms.

"I dunked Carter, that's it"

"What's with the song then?" he demanded.

Carter erupted "They sang it for an hour Daniel! You know how bad it is when the Colonel HUMS 'We're off to see the Wizard of Oz'!"

Daniel grimaced. Jack couldn't… sing… it just wasn't… yeah…

Teal'c was nodding an agreement.

"Hey!" Jack protested. "My voice isn't that bad!"

People around the table made various noises.

Jack frowned and kicked the table leg, making Davis paper stack scatter. As he made a futile grab for it, Jacob laughed.

Paul scowled at him and restacked his papers. The stack was now about five inches tall.

"What exactly do you HAVE on us?" Jack asked.

Paul shoved the papers inside his briefcase. "Nothing"

"How'd they dry you off?" Janet asked curiously.

"No…" Sam moaned "Please General…"

----

Carter stumbled out of the water.

"Oh god" Jack whispered seeing her blue lips. "Teal'c, help me warm her up"

"O'Neill, you must make her run"

"Huh?"

"RUN! She must run!"

"Uh.. Ok, Carter, run!"

She sank onto the ground, "I can't sir"

Jack looked helplessly at Teal'c who shook his head slightly.

"Major, I am ordering you to run!"

"I CAN'T SIR!"

"Now!" he snapped "That's an ORDER!"

She stumbled to her feet.

--

"We sang 'Mary had a little lamb' to keep her running." He paused "I think actually she was trying to run AWAY from us"

"Ya think?" she mumbled.

General Hammond privately thought that they all needed a trip to Dr. Mackenzie but as this was vastly entertaining he would propone that until AFTER this discussion was done.

Daniel looked immensely disgruntled. "This is getting boring. After all the slip'n'slides, jello, games, jet skiing, hot air ballooning… and now you're down to tossing Sam into a lake"

They all glared at him "We're not making this up as we go along!" Jack and Sam said simultaneously while Teal'c merely watched Daniel until he squirmed.

"Would hearing that Colonel O'Neill and Sam wrestling in the sand to get her warmed up satisfy you Daniel?"

"JANET!"

"What?"

Everyone turned to look at the figure. Jacob was staring at Jack.

"You… wrestled… with… MY daughter?"

Jack barely flinched. "Yes"

Jacob leaned back "Good. 'Bout time she had a social life."

"DAD!" Sam protested while George echoed with "Jacob!"

He leaned back and smiled smugly.

Davis phone rang. He saw the number and his eyes widened. "Excuse me"

Jack and Sam both sighed. The sooner this was over, the better. Teal'c leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling. Daniel stared at his empty mug mournfully and Janet was giving Sam apologetic glances.

Sam smiled and thought back...

She was so tired...

"Carter, move it"

She collapsed. "Can't"

He sighed, "Then this is the way it's going to have to be" and with that he jumped on her.

"What the hell are you doing?"

He sat up. "Fight Sam! We're wrestling"

She thought absently as she pined him to the ground that this felt familiar. Boy, he wasn't fighting as hard as he had been when she had been 'touched'.

"Sam? Yo, back to earth"

She started. "Sorry"

"No problem. You warm enough?"

She nodded. "Thanks sir"

He wanted to laugh. How many times did one's 2IC thank you for wrestling with them? "Anytime" he said sincerely. He LIKE wrestling with Carter... woo boy, back up a bit...

"O'Neill!"

"Yeah?" he yelled glad to be distracted.

"We have a problem!"

----

Davis hurried back in and sat down. "Sorry General."

"That's ok son"

Everyone was silent.

"Major Carter?" Hammond finally said, "Would you like to continue?"

She coughed. "Umm, well sir, we uh... participated in uh... wedding service"

"I beg your pardon?"

"Not for us sir!"

----

The gate lit up. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7... KAWOOSH!

SG-1 grabbed their' projectile weapons' and surrounded the gate. Thee men came through dragging a silken cloth. As they watched with surprise, a young boy and girl immerged carrying lit candles and singing a merry tune. Dozens of people then poured through obviously dressed in their best. And then came a small group of people surrounding two figures both dressed in a hideous shade of brown cloth. The whole 'mood' was happy.

"What's going on?" Jack whispered.

"I think a wedding sir!"

As she spoke, three children appeared out of nowhere and began tugging them into towards the bride and groom. They didn't seem put out by the fact these people were carrying weapons.

"Welcome!" the bride said "Will you join us in happiness?"

"Excuse me?" Jack asked. "Happiness?" he asked warily.

The little girl holding his hand spoke "My sister is to wed her love, Lucas! Will you stay?"

"Uhh... sure" Jack said after Sam and Teal'c gave him the 'ok' glance.

"You must be dressed then!" and with that Sam was pulled one way and the men another way.

-

"Teal'c, I'm not wearing a dress!"

"It is a robe O'Neill- not dress"

Jack sighed, "It LOOKS like one and I KNOW Carter has a camera in her pocket- I felt it."

Teal'c raised his eyebrow.

"NOT what you were think buddy. I had to get her warm."

"It appears to be what I am thinking O'Neill. Merely pull the robe over your clothing."

-

Carter eyed the sleeveless brown gown dubiously. "I don't know Poi. This looks kind of..." she held it against her. It reached her ankles but there were two, very long slits in it.

The girl looked at her and laughed. "Put it on Samantha. I shall make you look beautiful, have no fear"

-

Jack sighed, "Well, I'm ready, you?"

"Indeed"

They hurried out as drums started beating. With screams, girls dashed out from the forest.

"Where's Carter?" Jack demanded of the nearest man.

He shrugged and pointed at the women.

He searched the crowd of women carefully and spotted her. A half a dozen men talking with her surrounded her. She looked lost.

"Teal'c, stay here, I'm going to go rescue Carter"

Pushing his way through the crowd, he was soon at her side. "Hey!"

She looked up. "Hi sir"

He looked at her. That ugly fabric looked great on her! The dress was embroidered with colored flowers, mostly blue with set off her eyes.

"I know, I look like a freak, but Poi insisted-"

"Carter, you look fine! I'm the one wearing a dress!"

She laughed. "Wanna dance?" she asked mischievously.

"Sure"

She looked surprised. "Ok… Poi showed me how to do one…"

Teal'c watched as O'Neill clumsily copied the graceful moves of Major Carter. Both were laughing and having a good time. He checked his watched. 10:49…

----

"So, tell me about this wedding" Daniel said eagerly "What was it like?"

"Loud, Brown, Loud, Brown" he stopped "Did I get it all Carter?"

"Fun?" she suggested.

"That too"

"So what happened?"

"They had dancing till about 11:00 or so then they just all… vanished."

----

"Good bye Samantha!"

Jack and Carter released each other instantly. "Where you going?" Carter asked.

"We are done. The spirits have blessed our marriage. Good bye O'Neill"

"Bye… Pie?" he tried.

She giggled "Poi"

"Right!"

Lucas drew near "Farewell. I am glad you have graced us with your presence!"

The gate activated and the people left, still dancing.

"Ok, it may have just been me buy that was the most bizarre wedding I have ever been to!" Jack said as soon as the gate shut down.

Carter nodded. "Where did they put my clothes?" she wondered.

Teal'c handed them to her. She thanked him and hurried off.

Jack pulled the robe off. "That was fun"

"Indeed"

They sat silently until Carter came back.

"I have an idea," she said slowly.

"What?"

She held out her hands. "I found these in my pockets…"

Apophis stronghold.

As the gate activated, the Jaffa stood ready. To their surprise, colored missiles came through. The leader watched as his whole squadron fell. He picked up one of them that had fell to his feet harmlessly. He pulled off the thin coating and examined the interior. He tasted it. It was… water.

"Excellent idea Carter" Jack said as the last water balloon sailed through.

She laughed. "I wonder if we hit anything?"

Teal'c shook his head. Major Carter had suggested throwing water balloons through the Stargate for fun. She said that they would freeze and become like rocks.

Jack looked at his watch and sighed. "12:00 campers"

Carter grabbed her bags. "I'm going to miss this place," she mumbled.

"Me too" Jack said as Teal'c nodded with agreement.

Carter hit the first chevron. Second. Third, forth, fifth, sixth, seventh, center and…

As the event horizon shot out, no one heard the sigh of disappointment come from one Samantha Carter.

"Let's go!" Jack called and the three team members stepped through.

----

"The End."

Everyone stared. "That's it?" Daniel asked. "Sam didn't dial… Edora or something?"

"That's it Daniel."

Paul stood up. "Thank you for letting me stay General. Major Carter, Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, I'm glad you're safe. Daniel Jackson, I'm glad you are feeling better and farewell!"

With that, the Major hurried out of the room.

Daniel looked decidedly disgruntled. "I can't believe this. That was a sucky ending" he said siding up to Jack.

"Daniel!" Jack said exasperated "You're making it sound like we are making this up!"

"Didn't you?"

I hope the ending of their time on 94X-234 didn't disappoint you. Now just a few more chapter...

Hey, don't protest so much! Oh, and I managed to sneak the Grace scene in...

Hope you liked it and...
