"Teal'c I had work to do you know." Daniel complained from the back seat of the car.

"Me too." Sam added.

"It was nothing of immediate importance." He replied, eyes fixed firmly on the road. Daniel sighed. Teal'c had forced them into the car and told them it was an emergency. They had caught on when he hadn't given them any details that is definitely wasn't a case of life or death. After it was clear he wasn't going to explain they had given up and resorted to grumbling and complaining every two minutes.

"Hang on . . ." Daniel said leaning forward and looking out of the window. "This is the way to Jack's house."

"We're going to the Colonel's house?" Sam asked incredulously.

"Indeed."

"That would explain the pizza." Daniel said indicating the pizza boxes in the front passenger seat. "Err Teal'c, does Jack know we are coming?"

Silence.

"I'll take that as a no." he said giving Sam a worried side-glance which she returned.

"Crap!" Jack exclaimed as Tal blocked yet another one of his shots. She laughed.

"You're out of practice Colonel Jack." She said. He noted that a few of the older, more confident kids nodded in agreement. He just scowled at her. "Gonna bother trying again? Because I really don't see the point, I mean you know you're gonna lo- Aaaaaah!" she screamed as he skated full speed towards her, throwing his hockey stick to the ground.

She turned round and tried to skate to freedom, but it was too late, he had her and began to tickle her mercilessly.

"Car!" one of the kids called and they all scattered, taking one of the hockey nets with them.

Jack paused and looked up. "Shit." He muttered upon seeing one of the bases jeeps, the type that was usually driven by . . .

"O'Neill!" Teal'c called as he stepped out of the car, which was still, thankfully, a good few feet away.

Jack looked down at Tal, who was still in his arms, but staring intently at the jeep as the rest of his team stepped out of it. Quickly Jack pulled the cap he was wearing off and put it on her head, pulling it forward so it would cover part of her face.

He let her go and they both straightened up. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek then skated over to pick up her bottle of water that was on the ground next to the net.

"Okay kids! Game's over!" Jack called to the children that were still hanging around. A few complaints could be heard but they all slowly departed.

He turned back to Tal who gave him a wave before she too glided away, pulling her cap down as she passed the rest of SG1. They were walking towards him, when they reached where he was standing he looked at them curiously.

"So, kids, in the neighbourhood?" he asked as he turned round a glided slowly over to the other net, picked it up and then moved towards the house, they followed him.

"We brought pizza." Teal'c said. Jack turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"Pizza?"

"Indeed."

"And a movie." Daniel added. There was a moment of uncertain silence while Jack studied each of them for a moment.

"Cool, come on in." He said finally. Daniel and Sam smiled in relied and Teal'c inclined his head in acknowledgement.
