AUTHOR'S NOTES: just a short one

"Seventh chevron, locked."

"Well Colonel, just a basic recon mission. There shouldn't be any problems."

"No sir!" Jack grinned. 'I'm sure we'll find something to liven up the mission though.'

'Oh yeah?'

'Yeah.'

They realised that they had been staring intently at each other and that Hammond and Teal'c were looking at them.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes sir." Jack smiled at Hammond.

"Well then, good luck." Hammond stood and watched his team disappear through the shimmering blur portal, chuckling inwardly.

When they emerged through the gate they saw a planet that was barren stone on one side with some caves only a few paces from the gate. On the other side there were some large trees and a lot of shrubbery. They knew from the malp that the planet wasn't very large.

"Well this planet looks... boring!" Jack adjusted his shades as he glanced at the two suns, the only feature that separated this planet from earth. "Carter, why can't we ever visit any fun planets?"

'Like the one where you had a lot of "fun" until you started to age about a thousand times faster than you should have done.' "Fun planets sir?"

'Hey that wasn't my fault.'

'Always a sucker for a pretty face.'

'Yeah, more than you know.'
Jack shot Sam a sly smile. She looked at the ground and smiled.

"Yeah, planets that are like made of jello with rivers of chocolate, where it rains skittles." Carter looked up at this and even before she thought it Jack had realised that she was about to launch into a scientific speech. "Nevermind. C'mon Teal'c, let's go cave exploring."

"Don't go too far sir, the malp readings show dramatic pressure and electrostatic charge fluctuations."

'Bring me back a stalactite.'

'Does that grow up or down?'

'Down.'

'Ok, but only if you're a good girl.'

'I'll just be taking some rock samples.'

'Don't go having too much fun!'
