Season Six Jonas ficlet for controlfreak80, April 3, 2006
Still flying high from his first official mission with SG-1, Jonas walked into the commissary and made a beeline for the cafeteria line—after all, it had been hours since he had polished off that banana on the alkesh.
"Jonas?"
He turned to see none other than Major Davis in line behind him, smiling in greeting. "Major Davis! Nice to see you! Glad to see you made it back to the SGC all right."
"You too," the man said, seemingly sincere. "Some first mission, huh?"
"Definitely," agreed Jonas with fervor, loading up his plate and grabbing a few extra bananas for good measure, peeling one while they progressed down the line.
Major Davis watched his actions with a quiet sort of intensity. "You really like bananas."
Honestly, Jonas had never really thought about it. "Errr…yeah, I guess so. There's nothing really like them at home."
Davis nodded thoughtfully, then smiled. "Hey, I'm going to be in town until next week. Would you be interested in a trip up to the surface to do some sight-seeing, maybe catch a movie? As the Pentagon's liaison to the SGC, I'm cleared to be your escort up there."
Excited at the prospect, Jonas swallowed a big bite of banana quickly. "Really? You wouldn't mind?"
Oddly, Major Davis seemed to be staring at his banana. "Oh no. Not at all."
"Great! See you then!" Jonas agreed, reaching the end of the line and making his way happily to the table where the rest of SG-1 sat.
"You seem…chipper," Colonel O'Neill observed.
"Oh, sorry Colonel, I'm just excited. Major Davis is taking me out this weekend."
At this news, the Colonel coughed a little, exchanging a quick glance with Sam. "Well, that's…nice. But in the future? How about you just…not tell us. And we won't…uh…ask."
Finishing off the last bite of his banana, Jonas nodded agreeably. "Whatever you say, Colonel."
