"Good morning, Camper! Sleep well? I did."

"Good morning, Jack. I'm happy, you're happy." Daniel muttered grumpily, still sipping at his coffee, as he stood bleary eyed in the Gate Room.

"Aw, buck up there, Scooter! It is a beeeeeutiful 0600 this morning and a perfect opportunity to see the sunrise on…. P4X- 224, or as I like to call it, Ruinscape!"

"Can I ask why you have to come with me? Why couldn't Sam or Teal'c or, heck, Siler? As you so gracefully said, it's a deserted planet, not Gou'uld Central."

"Oh, I'm hurt!" Jack cried, throwing his empty left hand over his eyes in mock pain. "You'd rather be all alone on a deserted planet than with your best friend?"

"Best friend?" Daniel asked, hiding a smirk.

"Oh, you cut me to the quick! Here I am, ready to head off with you to the planet of never-ending boredom, just for your curiosity I might add, and you have the gumption to inform me you have another best friend. Well, mister, that's the last straw!" Jack went storming off in mock dejection while Daniel broke into a fit of giggles.

"Gumption? God, Jack…"

Jack popped his head back around the doorway, grinning. "Got ya outta your funk, didn't it?"

"Did not."

"Did too!"

"Did not."

"Did too… Oh, shut up!" Jack's chocolate brown eyes danced with humor as he swatted half-heartedly at Daniel's head. "Let's blow this popsicle stand!"

Daniel mouthed the words 'popsicle stand' to the back of Jack's head and followed him up the ramp and through the stargate.
