“Daniel, what is that?” Jack questioned.
“What that?” the archaeologist responded.
“That what!”
“What is what?” the confused scientist queried innocently.
“*That*!” Jack exclaimed as he pointed into the woods.
“Um, it looks like ... woods, Jack.”
Jack grunted in consternation before clarifying, “Not the woods.
*That* ... that ... creature.”
“Jack, all I see are ... trees and leaves and .... trees.”
“Are you blind?” the frustrated older man retorted.
Daniel glared at his Love and asked, “Have you been drinking some of
that juice Liea gave us last night?”
“Daniel, I'm telling you there's a, a thing over there.”
“Right, Jack.”
“Daniel, it's right ...” Jack looked around, frowning at the lack of
being able to see what he'd been talking about. “Well, it was
...” He paused, seeing the doubting look on his Love's
face. “I am *not* making this up. There was this little ...
bear or something.”
“Bear?”
“Yes, a bear!”
With a gentle tone, Daniel responded, “Jack, why don't you sit down and
rest? The sun on this planet is very intense.”
“You don't believe me,” Jack responded, sounding about five years old
and looking very forlorn.
Daniel laughed and confessed, “Yes, I do. I saw it. It's
called a gobix, and it's ... kind of like a bear.”
“You saw it, and you let me think ...?” Jack stood up, his eyes
lit with fire. “You are *so* going to get yours.”
Ignoring protocol, Jack put down his P-90 and chased Daniel into the
woods.
====
After their impromptu playtime in the woods, Jack and Daniel headed for
the village where SG-1 was staying. As they approached, Jack
noticed that the streets seemed to be lined with women. In fact,
so far on this planet, they had only seen women.
~Okay, Ladies, hands off. He's spoken for,~ Jack groaned
internally. Apparently, while the three men of SG-1 were a
curiosity, Daniel appeared to have attracted the heart of every
female. ~Look, I understand, but back off,~ he thought while
observing all the ogling that was going on. The colonel was
struggling big time as he tried to prevent himself from making a public
declaration that Daniel was his and off limits to everyone else.
~I could retire early. I've done it before.~
Sam and Teal'c were waiting for their teammates to report in about
their progress. They had just begun their report, when they heard
a seductive female voice calling out.
“Danyel.”
The teammates looked up to see Kelin, the leader of the village,
beckoning them over, or rather, beckoning Daniel over.
Jack realized quickly that the rest of SG-1 was just along for the
ride. He noticed Daniel looking at him, a faint trace of
amusement in his expression.
“What?”
“Jack, you just growled,” Daniel pointed out.
“I did not!”
“You did.”
“You're imagining things, Daniel,” an increasingly perturbed Jack
claimed as he looked menacingly at the crowd of giggling females.
**I'm not, Love. You growled,** the archaeologist insisted,
switching to the couple's special non-verbal communication ability.
**I'm telling ya, Danny, she wants you.**
**It's too bad for her that I'm taken then, isn't it?**
Daniel gave Jack a shy smile that forced the colonel to look away and
think of cold showers.
~Something is wrong here,~ Jack thought as he grew more serious while
the couple made their way through the village. “Daniel, we need
to find out what happened to the men. These women aren't able to
maintain this place. It may be a village, but look at the
equipment and machines. No offense, Carter,” Jack glanced at his
2IC, “but I just don't buy that they are running this place.”
“I agree, Sir. They don't seem inclined to talk about anything
other than ... hair and ...”
“Don't say it, Carter.”
“They are fascinated with DanielJackson, O'Neill,” Teal'c stated with
an hidden smile on his stoic face.
“Teal'c, I just said not to say that.”
“No, you told MajorCarter not to say 'it'. I did not say 'it',
O'Neill. I said that ...”
“Never mind, Teal'c.”
====
A few hours later, the team was at a gathering in the center of
town. As usual, the men seemed to be the center of attention,
though Daniel stood out. This left Sam free to do a bit of
exploring.
Kelin seemed to be making some sort of proposal to the women.
Although the women spoke English, they were using their native tongue
during this meeting. As far as Daniel could work out, the
language was formed from derivatives of Latin, Ancient Greek and
Hebrew. Although he could not understand every word that was
spoken, he could understand some of it.
Jack was not happy. He might not understand the language, but he
knew Daniel's name when he heard it, and he was hearing it a lot during
this particular meeting.
“Daniel, what are they talking about?” Jack kept his voice low,
his gaze fixed on the women. When Daniel didn't answer him, he
turned to look at his lover, surprised to find Daniel blushing.
“Daniel?” There was a hint of amusement, concern, fear and
irritation in the word. ~He's not supposed to look like that
here.~
“They're talking about me.”
“Yeah, I got that,” Jack acknowledged with a hint of annoyance in his
voice, “but what I want to know is *what* are they saying?”
**That I'm intelligent, that my presence here could benefit them.**
**Over my dead body are they getting any benefits from you!**
**Jack.**
**No benefits, Danny. They're mine.**
====
Meanwhile, Sam roamed the streets, looking inside buildings and
examining objects she'd found. Thirty minutes later, she returned
to the center of the action and worked her way to her CO.
“Sir, we need to talk.”
It wasn't hard for Jack to gain a bit of privacy. He simply
started talking about Daniel, and the women seemed to flock over to the
younger man. He cringed, but jealousy would have to come after
duty.
“Okay, Carter, what'd you find out?”
“Sir, there have definitely been men here. There are clothes and
even photographs in some of the homes. In fact, some homes seem
to have a number of photos of men lined up like some kind of ...” Sam
shrugged.
“Some kind of what, Carter?”
“I have a funny feeling about this. It's the way they have the
photos arranged, not on a mantle or with children, but with ... things
... like a ... Sir, like a collection.”
“Great. We're a hobby.”
“There's something else, Sir.”
“And that is ...?”
“In some of the houses, a few of the photos of the males are encased
in, I guess you'd call it a shrine, or altar, and I couldn't help but
notice that all those men had a similarity.”
“And ...?” Jack was growing impatient.
“They look like Daniel, Sir.”
Jack looked over at the women surrounding his lover and called out
commandingly, “*Daniel. Time to go.”
====
“Jack? Jack!”
After trying and failing to get Jack to slow his hike back to the
Stargate and talk about Sam's discovery, Daniel had had enough.
He stopped, took off his pack and sat down.
“Daniel, get up.”
Daniel wondered how Jack could do that. He knew his lover didn't
have eyes in the back of his head, but it certainly felt like it at
times. Jack hadn't even turned around when he'd issued his order.
“No.”
Stopping and finally turning around, Jack reiterated, “Daniel, get
up. That's an order.”
“Jack, I'll get up when you agree to talk about this.”
Jack gave out a frustrated sigh and looked hopefully at Carter and
Teal'c for backup. It seemed they had decided discretion was the
better part of valor and were carefully looking everywhere but at Jack
and Daniel.
~Oh, no you don't,~ the colonel thought about his other two
teammates. “Carter?” He saw the reluctancy with which Sam
looked at him, but chose to ignore it. “Do you agree with
Daniel? Should we stay on this planet even though we know he is
likely to be a target?”
Sam shuffled her feet nervously. The colonel was giving her one
of his famous glares, the 'if you know what's good for you, you'll
agree with me' look.
“Ah, actually, Sir, I think Daniel has a point. I think this
planet might have some technology we could use and ... and ... with
Daniel here, we have a better chance of finding out exactly how
advanced they are.”
Jack scowled at her and looked at his stubborn linguist. Daniel
just looked beseechingly at him.
“Teal'c?” Jack heard the plea in his own voice, and his scowl deepened
at his weakness. ~What that man does to me.~
“I concur with MajorCarter and DanielJackson.”
“Fine. Daniel, you don't leave my side. Teal'c, don't take
your eyes off him,” Jack snapped and began stalking back to the village.
**It's the right thing to do,** Daniel declared as he stood up.
**Thank you.**
**So help me, Daniel, if you come out of this with one hair out of
place ...**
**I'm sorry, Jack. I don't want to put you through this, but ...**
**I know, it's our job.** Jack glanced back, letting his eyes say
what only his mind and heart could at the moment. **Space Monkey,
I love you.**
**I love you, too, My Silver Fox.**
====
“Danyel, you have come back!” Kelin exclaimed with delight.
Within seconds, Daniel was surrounded by the women. Smaller
groups huddled around Jack and Teal'c, but mostly, it was Daniel who
had their attention.
Nervously, the inquisitive archaeologist stated, “Um, Kelin. I
need to ask you a few questions.”
“Anything, Danyel.”
“Where are the men?” Daniel questioned curiously.
“Men?” Kelin responded, looking over at the other women and shrugging
as she did so.
“Males.”
“Males?”
“Um, the others, like me, and Jack and Teal'c.”
Kelin looked at Daniel blankly, shaking her head.
Daniel elaborated, “Look, in our culture, you and your friends are
called women or females. You all have certain ...
characteristics.” He blushed slightly, trying to discreetly point out
Kelin's figure and breasts. “And people like me, Jack and
Teal'c,” he continued, “are called men or males. We, too, have
certain, uh, characteristics; uh, but our characteristics are ...
different.”
Kelin smiled blankly at Daniel, not comprehending his words.
“So, Kelin, men. You must have men here,” Daniel asserted.
“Maybe you should visit the Gallery of Uhlans.”
“Uhlans? Horse Cavalry?” Daniel questioned as he looked around,
feeling more confused than ever. “Where is this gallery?”
“It is in the Great Tunnel of Cavendish.”
“Cavendish? Who is Cavendish?”
“Sounds like an English waiter,” Jack snarked, having covertly wandered
over close enough to listen in to the conversation.
“Jack, go away!” Daniel ordered his lover. When Jack had returned
to his prior spot next to Teal'c, the archaeologist smiled
apologetically at Kelin for the interruption. “Who is Cavendish,
Kelin?”
“He is the greatest of the Uhlan. All comes from Cavendish.”
“Ohhhkay, and where is the Great Tunnel?”
“I will show you.”
“Good! Let me get my friends,” Daniel replied happily, making a
motion towards his teammates.
“No, just you.”
Daniel looked back. He saw Teal'c watching him closely, while
Jack was now involuntarily involved in a discussion with three of the
women villagers who kept tugging on him. Daniel gave the Jaffa a
'help' look as he stood up to go with Kelin. As Kelin led him
away, the archaeologist hoped Teal'c got the message. He was
going to communicate with his lover silently, but Kelin was involving
him in a discussion, and he just couldn't focus on both.
--
At about the same time, Sam was trying to question her CO's clinging
women with Jack listening in.
“Ah, excuse us,” Sam requested, pulling Jack aside. “Did you hear
what they said?”
Jack blinked, aware that even though he was listening, his mind had
wandered. He'd missed bits and pieces of it.
“What?” Jack asked. He watched as his 2IC shuffled her feet
nervously. “Come on, Carter, spit it out.”
“I, uh, I think they see men as ... as ...”
“As what, Carter?”
“Animals.” Sam saw Jack raise his eyebrows in a manner befitting
Teal'c and hurried on with her explanation. “Treasured animals,
though, um, kind of like pets.”
“Pets? Sweet.”
Just as Sam finished speaking, Teal'c caught their attention, calling
out, “O'Neill,” and inclining his head slightly towards the departing
Daniel and Kelin.
~Danny!~ In the distance, the colonel could see Daniel and Kelin,
alone, walking away from the village. “Daniel, I am going to kill
you when I get my hands on you,” he muttered under his breath.
Forcefully, he ordered, “Teal'c, Carter, you stay here and dig around
some more. The sooner we get off this planet the better.
I'll go and retrieve our errant archaeologist."
With that, Jack stalked off after his lover, jogging double-time to
catch up.
~I swear, Danny, I'm going to put you on a leash every time we go
through that blasted Gate. Maybe a blue one, to match your
eyes. Or maybe I'll get one of those tracking devices they use to
locate animals in the wild. Yeah, that's the way to go. I'm
sure I can get Hammond to agree.~
====
“Daniel,” Jack called out when he was within a few feet of his lover
and Kelin. He considered staying back and just following, but
then he changed his mind, not wanting to take chances with his
partner. **You're so dead.**
“Hey, Jack,” Daniel replied casually. **Gawd, I was afraid Teal'c
didn't see me leave.**
**We are *so* going to have a discussion later, Daniel.**
Nonchalantly, Jack asked, “Where ya goin'?”
“Kelin is going to show me, I mean us, the Gallery of the Uhlans, which
is in the Gallery of the Cavendish.”
“And you know what that is?”
“Actually, I have no idea, but we'll find out soon.”
“I can only take you, Danyel,” Kelin interjected.
“Sorry, Kelin, but Jack is my commanding officer, and if he insists,
then I can't go without him,” Daniel stated feeling quite smug in his
own unique way. **See, Babe. I'm following orders.**
“And I do insist,” Jack stated strongly. **We'll discuss your
order following skills later.**
“It would be against the rules. It is only for Danyel.”
“We're a package deal, Kelin. Take us both, or leave us both, but
... 'Danyel' isn't going anywhere without me.”
“Cavendish will not be pleased.”
“Kelin,” Daniel began with a hint of urgency. “Cavendish is
alive?”
“All things come from Cavendish.”
**We need to see this, Jack,** Daniel advised the other man.
**Not going alone, Danny.**
“Um, Kelin, isn't there ever a time when you can bring more than one?”
Kelin thought for a moment and then admitted, “Yes, only if the two are
one.”
“Excuse me?” Jack asked.
“If the two are as one, as Selena and Tynia are. They are as one.”
**I've met them, Jack. They are two people,** Daniel informed his
lover “Kelin, when you say two as one, you mean ...
together? Married?”
“Married? I do not know this term. Together, yes, as one
spirit, for the expanses of all tomorrows.”
“Love?” Daniel asked.
Kelin smiled and affirmed, “That which is in the heart, yes. The
joy within that combines one with another. If two are one, they
may go to the gallery together, but that is the only exception.”
“Okay, lady. You got it. Danny here and I ... we're two as
one.”
Kelin looked at Daniel in surprise, asking, “Is this so? You are
hymengninay?”
Daniel worked his knowledge of the language of the inhabitants,
mumbling, “Hymengninay. Hymeneal? Um ...”
**Danny, why are you hesitating?** Jack questioned.
**She means married.**
**What the heck. Just say yes.**
Daniel shrugged and asserted, “Um, yes, Kelin. We are
hymengninay.”
“I must see.”
“Oh for crying out loud,” Jack responded.
Without giving Daniel a moment to prepare, Jack scooped his soulmate
into his arms and kissed him long and hard, causing Daniel to moan and
totally forget where they were and what they were doing.
“Oh, Jack, yes,” Daniel moaned, leaning in for another kiss.
“See, Kelin. We are ... hymingawhatever.”
“Oh, gawd. I hate it when I do that,” Daniel sighed as his senses
came back to him.
“I don't,” Jack replied, smiling with satisfaction. **I'm the
only one in the world who can make you forget you've got a brain.
Geez, I love that.**
**Arrogant.**
**You love me.**
**Incredibly, it's true,** the younger man admitted.
“Very well. Follow me. I will take you to the wall,” Kelin
instructed.
====
It took ten minutes, but on the fringe of the village, the three came
to a doorway that seemed to lead into a mountain.
“This is where we enter,” Kelin instructed.
Taking a deep breath, the two men prepared to go inside, but Kelin
stopped them.
“I must warn you. If you are one, you must always be
together. If Cavendish determines you have deceived him, you will
be punished. You must connect.” Kelin put Jack's and
Daniel's hands together. “To let go, would not be good.”
Jack and Daniel exchanged a glance and then rearranged their hands for
a better hold, one more normal to them. With a nod they were
ready, the trio walked through the doorway.
====
As soon as the three stepped through the door, Jack knew he'd have to
keep a firm grip on his lover's hand. They appeared to be in some
sort of cave, the walls of which were covered in what looked like
prehistoric paintings. Daniel was fascinated by them, and was
already walking towards them, forgetting to hold onto Jack's
hand. Fortunately, Jack did not forget and gripped his soulmate's
hand even tighter as he followed his absentminded archaeologist.
“Jack, look,” Daniel requested as he pointed to some of the
paintings. “These are like rock drawings on Earth. They
show the lives of the tribes, the different tasks that come with each
of the seasons.”
“Come. Cavendish is waiting,” Kelin stated as she stood in front
of a stone altar that looked strangely familiar.
Jack tugged on Daniel's hand and led him over to the altar, though
Daniel still focused on the paintings.
“Ah, Jack?” Daniel called out even as he allowed himself to be led over
to Kelin. “I think I know who Cavendish might be.”
Before Jack had a chance to respond, Kelin pressed a carving on the
altar and the three were transported to a vast stone hall.
====
Still clutching Daniel's hand, Jack looked around. The hall
seemed to be completely empty except for a circular stone dais in the
middle of it. Kelin was kneeling before it, her hands extended
out in supplication.
“Daniel, do you have any idea what's going on?” the colonel asked his
cultural expert.
“I think we're about to see a recording.”
“What?”
“Keep watching the dais,” Daniel advised. “If I'm right, any
minute a holographic recording will start playing.”
Almost as soon as Daniel finished speaking, a light flickered and a
life like figure stood before them.
“Cavendish, I presume,” Jack said with an English accent.
“I am Cavendish. How dare you ...”
Still holding Jack's hand, Daniel surprised Kelin by going to the wall
and pulling out the controls. After a bit of shifting, the
hologram disappeared. Moments later, a very familiar creature
appeared.
~What's he doing?~ Jack had watched in amazement at what his
lover was doing, but his emotions soon took a swift change.
“Thor? Oh, for crying out loud!” he exclaimed, twisting around
for a moment as relief set in. “I thought we were in trouble
here.”
“O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, what are you doing on Ludio?” the Asgard
questioned, surprised at seeing the two Tau'ri before him.
“Ludio? Now this makes sense.”
“What? Huh?” Jack responded, not understanding anything at all
right now.
“Ludio: it's Latin for play, like a game,” the linguist explained.
“A game?” Jack questioned in disbelief. “Thor, what kind of place
is this?”
“It is a play world for the people of Playsiklsbeilskja.”
“Playsi... Let's just call it PBJ,” Jack suggested.
“As you wish,” Thor agreed.
The next remark surprised Jack and even Daniel.
“Hey, what's going on? Thor, you promised my group a full month
of relaxation here. Who are these dudes who interrupted our game?”
Jack looked at Kelin in surprise. She now appeared to be a
different person. In fact, she was. Her appearance had
changed dramatically into another type of lifeform.
“What the heck is going on here?” Jack asked.
“It's ... Disneyland, Jack, for who or what exactly, I'm not sure, but
...”
“Doctor Jackson is correct, O'Neill.” Thor looked at Kelin and
inquired, “Why did you bring them here?”
“Danyel is of great intelligence. We came to request that he be
allowed to join our game. Liea is very taken with him.”
Daniel felt himself tugged closer to Jack.
“Why haven't we been invited here before?” Jack saw Thor's stare, at
least it looked like a stare, to his query. “Too young?”
“Way too young, Jack, if my guess is right,” Daniel interjected, still
holding his Love's hand.
“Uh, Thor?” Jack asked as he arched his eyebrows and raised Daniel's
hand in his.
Thor nodded, explaining, “The game has been halted. You and your
people must leave, O'Neill.”
“I really wish someone would explain this to me; and, hey, I want to
play!” As Jack took a breath, Thor took the opportunity to
vanish. “Hey! Where'd you go? I wasn't finished,
Thor!”
Daniel smiled at Jack's indignation. No one at the SGC liked
being called 'young' by the advanced races they'd met, but Jack seemed
to hate it the most, especially from races like the Asgard and the
Nox. Those two allies in particular meant it so genuinely with no
offense intended that it was impossible to hold their words against
them.
The lovers looked at Kelin, or the lifeform that had been Kelin.
She was still the same height and shape as she had been, but instead of
skin, she seemed to have an almost translucent leathery membrane which
was thick enough to appear a grayish white. Her eyes were the
same shape, but looked like they had been turned ninety degrees.
All in all, her appearance was just human enough and just different
enough to be really disturbing. Jack was very relieved when she
morphed back into her all human guise.
“So ...” Jack's words were cut off as they were transported back to the
cave they had first entered. Observing Kelin stalking out of the
doorway, he opined, “I think someone's a little upset that we messed up
her game.”
“Come on, Jack.” Daniel tried tugging his hand free, but Jack
refused to let it go. “Ah, Jack, I don't think we have to hold
hands anymore.”
**Yeah, we do.**
**Ah, why?** Daniel asked.
**Because I like holding hands with you, Angel.**
**Sap.**
**You know it, Babe,** Jack responded with an upbeat communication.
Jack and Daniel shared a warm and loving smile, and then Daniel urged
softly, “Let's go, Jack. Sam and Teal'c are probably worried sick
about us.”
====
“So this is essentially a playground for alien races?” Sam asked Daniel.
“More or less, but it's a very complicated playground. Jack isn't
going to like this ...”
“Hey, I'll say what it is I do or don't like ...” Jack began.
“Right,” Daniel interrupted. “As I was saying, the more complex
and sophisticated the mind, the greater the need for play, and along
with that, the method of play.”
“Oh, so we're too young to play here. Is that what you're
saying?” Jack questioned.
“I told you that you wouldn't like it.”
Jack scowled and responded, “This is right out of an episode of 'Star
Trek' -- you know, the one with the white rabbit.”
“You are correct, O'Neill,” Thor stated, surprising everyone by popping
in.
“Thor, good buddy. You've come back,” the colonel greeted, hoping
to get some more answers now.
“I am sorry I left so suddenly before, but I had to ... arrange new
recreation for Kelin and her people.”
“Thor, are you a Trekker?” Jack asked, astonished Thor had answered his
question.
“One of our allies did research on Earth for a time. They were
undercover, as you might say, O'Neill. During that time, our
operative had ... ties with the TV show. Many of their ideas are
based on reality.”
“Get out of town! Trek is real?” Jack asked enthusiastically,
though Thor said nothing in reply. All he did was glare at the
colonel, a rebuke in his stare that seemed to say 'didn't you hear what
I just said?'. Jack cleared his throat. “Sweet!”
“Thor, why were there likenesses of Daniel in the houses?” Sam couldn't
but ask, her gaze making sure to avoid Jack's stare.
“The games require a guide. As you saw, the game was being played
in the guise of humans. Kelin's people found Doctor Jackson most
attractive when we described his physical appearance and intellect, so
we used his form. We did not anticipate that you would ever know
about this place and assumed it would be of no consequence if we used
his likeness.”
While Daniel was beet red, Jack wasn't sure whether to be outraged or
amused.
“I have reprogrammed the settings on the planet to be in line with your
... level of play, O'Neill. You are welcome to stay for two Earth
days. You might find it very pleasurable.”
“Thor,” Daniel began, “What about others? Can they come ... play?”
“The Tau'ri are welcome for the next two days. No harm will come
to anyone. The settings are on low and being monitored. I
must go.”
Before anyone could say anything more, Thor again disappeared.
“On low?” Jack groaned as he pulled back in disbelief, causing his
teammates to laugh. “I don't know why I like that little gray
guy; he's always insulting us. We're the ones that saved their
little gray butts from the Replicators. We ...” The
silver-haired man trailed off mid-sentence when he realized that his
teammates had stopped listening to him and were heading back to the
Stargate. “Hey! Wait for me.”
The rest of SG-1 paused, the three exchanging looks that said, “I
suppose we should.”
Jack caught up to his team, still muttering, only now the theme of his
utterances had changed.
“I'm the colonel, but you wouldn't know it. No one respects me,
takes orders ...”
“You're the Tony Stewart of the SGC,” Daniel opined. “Haven't you
finished whining yet, Jack?”
“I never should have introduced you to NASCAR,” Jack sighed.
“I'll have you know, Doctor Jackson, that Air Force colonels don't
whine.”
Daniel raised his eyebrows while thinking, ~That's so not true.~
“That is not so, O'Neill. I have heard you whine on many
occasions.”
~Thank you, Teal'c. I'll have to buy you some new candles for the
support,~ Jack silently snarked. “I do not whine, Teal'c. I
make legitimate complaints and suggestions as to the way my time and
abilities are used.”
A sarcastic snort from Daniel was the only response to that.
Fortunately, Jack was saved from making a response by their arrival at
the Stargate. A few moments later, they were in communication
with the SGC.
“Repeat that, Colonel,” General Hammond's disbelieving voice was
transmitted through the MALP.
“We've been invited to spend two days at 'Thorworld,' otherwise called
Disneyland, the next generation.”
“Colonel ...” General Hammond began, sounding somewhat annoyed.
“Sorry, Sir,” Jack apologized. “We seem to have discovered an
intergalactic playground run by the Asgard. Thor has allowed us
two days playtime here. We thought some of the troops could use a
break, and it might be good experience for some of the new recruits.”
“It's safe?”
“It's run by the Asgard, Sir. I really don't think it could be
safer,” Sam answered on Jack's behalf.
“Very well, SG-1. You may remain for the next two days.
I'll see who we can spare from here and who would like to join you.”
“Thank you, Mon General.” The transmission ended, and Jack turned
to his teammates. “Playtime, kids.”
====
“This is great fun, Danny,” Jack spoke jovially two days later.
“It sure is, Jack.”
“I still say we could have spent more time with those gorgeous babes by
the beach!”
“Jack, I have no desire to spend time with any gorgeous babe except for
you.”
“Ah, Danny,” Jack responded, his voice soft.
The two had found a secluded little part of “Thorworld” to enjoy some
private time. They were sunning themselves on yet another beach,
one of many the planet had to offer. Daniel was preparing a lunch
for them, something simple and befitting their time on “Thorworld.”
“Thorworld” was in fact very like Disneyland, albeit much more high
tech. Every game imaginable could be played with extra people,
male or female, being provided when necessary.
Yesterday, they had spent time playing volleyball on the beach, the men
