'Can I at least see it before we go?' Sam voice rang through the corridors outside SG-1's locker room. Despite the fact that the female sign was still visible on the door a male voice answered her.

'No. Carter you played with it and held it for long enough this morning in the car I'm sure you can go a few more hours.' Replied the voice of Jack O'Neill.

Meanwhile the other half of the team came to a stop just beyond the door at the sound of their team mates voices.

'No sir, I guess it's kind of addictive and I dunno!' Her voice strained and frustrated, 'Just get it out for me !… please?' she added pleading, no doubt batting her eyelids beyond the door at her commanding officer.

'You asked for it Carter.' he said giving in.

The sound of a zip made it's way to the egger ears of those in the hall, Daniel gasped and Teal'c eyebrow was raised.

A few seconds of quiet.

'Ok now are you finished looking?'

'Hmm…' she said quietly, as though in deep contemplation.

'What does 'hmm' mean?' he replied incredulously.

'How did you get it that big? I mean it was a lot smaller a few hours ago. It just doesn't seem right.'

'Carter, it is right. What makes you think I don't know about my own equipment? I got it bigger than you did cos it's mine and I know all the little tricks.' He said smugly.

'We'll just see about that, you've just booked your self in for some rigorous combating.'

'Oh really.'

'Yes really.'

'Fine my place at 18.00'

'I'll see you there.'

Again the sound of a zip could be heard.

'See you there.' Sam said as she left the room to allow Jack to get changed into his off world gear. 'Hi guys.' She said to her bemused team-mates waiting on the other side of the door before walking smugly in the direction of the gate room.

'I deeply regret not believing your previously, Daniel Jackson, it would appear that there is indeed something occuring between Major Carter and O'Neill. I apologise.'

'No problem Teal'c I don't think I would have believed it either.' He said serious. 'So what are we going to do about them?'

'We obviously can not let them meet this evening.'

'Certainly not.' Replied Daniel.

Teal'c look pointedly in Daniel's direction.

'What?' he said confused, before being hit by realisation. 'No I can't do that. Jack already hates me enough, and he'd definitely shoot me if I did that!'

'Who's going to shoot you space monkey?' said Jack emerging from the locker room, and despite the fact he asked about Daniel's future well being he seemed a little preoccupied, not that Daniel and Teal'c where surprised.

'Oh no one.' He replied giving Teal'c a look, which in Jack's current state he completely missed.

'Ok then, just make sure 'no one' doesn't shoot you before the mission, don't be late.' He said walking in the same direction that Sam went.

'O'Neill appears to be…'

'Disturbed, he's always been like that.' Daniel interjected as he watched the topic of discussion disappear round the corner.

'…distracted.' Said Teal'c finishing his sentence.

Daniel nodded knowingly.

'We need to keep an eye on them while we're off world.'

'Daniel Jackson…'

'Don't worry Teal'c I'll do it.'

Dejectedly Daniel followed Teal'c into the locker, wonder it Jack might actually shoot him when it came to doing what he had to.
