AUTHOR'S NOTES:
The Air Force medic walked down the halls of the SGC muttering curses under his breath. He had nothing else to do, he didn't have any place he needed to be, no work had to be done, all his friends were off on missions and his Sg team was all out on sick leave. Now the reason he was pissed , yesterday when Dr. Fraiser was giving him his physical he had decided to go for it and ask her out. She shot him up when he was still on the runway. Then after the examination finished he left so fast he forgot to pick up his bag he'd left in a corner of the infirmary, then he jumped into his car and took off for the nearest town. Halfway there while yelling at himself for being such an idiot his car died , emitting the worst sound he had ever heard a car engine make, then the smoke came. He had been so occupied beating himself up about asking her to go out with him , not knowing if she felt the same way he felt, he didn't realize that the temperature gauge on the cars console had gone past red line.
He took the keys out and got out of the car however he had gotten out of his car so fast he didn't quite clear the doorframe and smacked his shoulder on it. Really hard . After a few choice four letter words he eventually made it to the hood of his car , tried to pop the hood and learned two things about cars and one thing about the seasons. Number one if you want to pop a hood you need to pull the lever in the cars compartment , second when smoke is rising from your engine it usually means that your engine has over heated, therefore heating the hood. Mix this with an unusually hot mid summer day and you have a very hot engine hood. With a very loud and painful yelp he learned these things, he jumped back and stuck the three fingers he had burned into his mouth. After a few more curse words he got back into the car and popped the hood , got out without hitting anything and walked to the hood. He took off his shirt wrapped it around the non burned fingers on his other hand , stuck them under the hood and popped it. Steam and smoke came out and made him turn his head to his side and coughed a little. After he put the hood on the brace , he checked the oil and realized as he was about to do it, he had forgotten to change the oil for the past three months, he pulled the oil stick out and saw that it's level was either very low or non existence.
After that he did something he did not want to do for fear of what he would see , and he saw it , after a few seconds of inspecting the engine he had to face the facts , he had cracked the engine block wide open . He whimpered the most pathetic sound any soldier in the U.S. military had ever made. Now after a few seconds of whimpering he started to notice a sound, the sound of boiling water. He kept his shirt on his hand and reached down onto the radiator cap and twisted it. Now you must understand this, he is normally a very intelligent man , but due to the days events and the injuries he had sustained , he wasn't up to speed all that much. So when he twisted the cap a little it was a real surprise when it rocketed out of his hand and a fountain of extremely hot water came out of the radiator and landed on his bare arm. In an ear piercing scream of pain he ran and jumped into the car and started franticly searching for his bag that had his first aid kit in it. Then the realization hit him that he had left it in the infirmary , then the real horror hit him, that that bag had everything in it; his cell phone, his two extra bottles of water, his wallet which had his ID, credit cards, and all his money, hell it even had the baby pictures that his mom had put her baby names for him on.He frantically looked for some type of fluid to pour onto his arm to cool it , that's when he noticed the two week old, half drunken bottle of Gatorade that was on the passenger sides floor board.
He walked along the road on his way back to Cheyene. He was dehydrated , he was tired, he was bruised, he was burned, and his only sun shade was his grease covered shirt that he had wrapped around his head . On the bright side his burnt arm smelled of heavenly Lemon-Lime. Unfortunate for him Lemon-Lime didn't go very well with burns and he spent ten minutes after putting it on his arm, trying to suppress tears.
He finally reached the main gate to Cheyene mountain and walked up to the guard building. He realized then that the shift change had happened and that the guard who had waved him through hours earlier was now long gone and that he would have to wait for this new guard to confirm his identity . Twenty minutes later he confirmed his identity and waved him through with a curious raise of his eyebrow as the medic stumbled into the mountain.
He finally got off the elevator and headed toward Medical, as he went he got startled looks from others at his physical appearance and the odd smell coming from his very red arm. As he got closer to Medical he could hear loud laughter coming from it. When he got to the door and opened it, he could see almost all the medical staff sitting and standing around one of the beds. When he got closer he could see that one of the nurses had gotten his bag and had spread it's contents all over the bed, in her hand was one of the most humiliating pictures of him when he was young. It showed him running down a hall at the age of 4 , butt naked and it was a rear shot. As if on cue the medical staff looked up and saw him standing there and the woman who had his picture yelled. "Hey It's mommies little streaker!" , another yelled " It's mommies special little guy!" And that was all it took, first the room started to spin, then it went black as his head hit the floor.
Now he didn't know how long he was out for but he did know that when he passed out it was still light out, and he did know that he woke up around 5:00 pm. this day. He got discharged as fast as he could so as not to be seen by Dr. Fraiser and to be seen even less by the rest of the medical staff who the moment he stepped out of Medical with his stuff erupted into laughter. So here he was, fully clothed, toting his pack and the burns on his arm bandaged. So he was walking down the halls cursing under his breath. As he passed one of the rooms he could hear some one else muttering. He looked into the room and it took him a second to realize who it was and what he was muttering about.
It was Colonel O'neill and he had his head on the table and was muttering some thing about himself and.... Captain Carter if he was right. No, he had no reason why he did this, every cell in his body told him not to, but if he had to take a guess it was because he had had a terrible day before and really didn't give a hoot about what happened. He walked in and dropped his pack next to the table and plopped into the chair next to the Colonel. "So what's up sir?" he said. "Is it any of your business..." He looked up at him and read his rank and name. "Lt. Kellen" Putting major emphasis on the Lt. "No sir, but I hate seeing a man that has gone through so much to be struggling over if he should ask a woman if she'll go out with him, because he's afraid that she'll say no." Kellen said. O'Neill glared at him, "This coming from the man who didn't even make it to bat with Dr. Fraiser." That one hurt, well Kellen knew he was pushin' the envelope when he'd mentioned the Captain, but damn word did spread fast on this base. " Yep, that did hurt, I really like her you know that." O'Neill just looked at the young man sitting next to him. "Sir, I know you probably don't care what I have to say, but there definitely is no chance that she'll say yes if you don't ask her, and besides from what I hear about how you two work together their shouldn't be any problem with both of you getting along in a relationship." Jack just sat there trying to figure out a way to respond to this young man when doctor Fraiser walked into the room. She nodded to Jack then fixed her attention onto Kellen. She looked at Kellen with a seductive smile. "Hello James." James looked at Janet with a confused look on his face. "Hi." James started kicking himself mentally, HI! That's it hi, Idiot! "So James is that date still out there?" James mind went blank...then he broke through his mental block. "Y-y-yah, but what made you change your mind?" Oh you idiot, you are such an idiot, yes lets just bring that incident in the medical up. "Well you know that picture of you running down the hall naked, well I just figured you had such a nice ass in that picture and that your only about 20, so I figured you still have it." James face went a dark red. She smiled at him. " I'm joking James , no what made me change my mind is that when you were unconscious I watched over you and learned a very interesting thing about you." James looked at her wondering what she meant. " What did you learn?" She stood there for a moment preparing herself for the reaction on his face she knew would be coming. "You talk in your sleep."
Jack couldn't help but smile as he watched the young Lt.'s face as it went to the deepest, darkest red he had ever seen.
Janet looked at James and gave him her most seductive, arousing smile she had. " Well James, do you want to go out?" James sat there for what seemed like hours but was really only a matter of seconds, finally he got out one word, "yes" it wasn't because it was all that was needed , it was because it was all he could say. "Good, well once you get off duty meet me at my house and we'll go out, Colonel you'll tell him how to get there won't you?" " Sure." O'Neill said not being able to hold a smile. "Well then I'll see you later tonight James." She turned and walked out moving her hips seductively as she left. James just sat there for a few moments not saying anything , then turned to O'Neill. " It was good meeting you sir." And with that James bolted for the door, grabbing his bag as he ran. O'Neill stood up and shouted, " Hey wait, when do you get off duty?" James looked at his watch, " ahh two more hours." "Well then why are you in such a hurry?" "Well I've gotta get a car sir." O'Neill just razed an eyebrow .. "I'll explain it to you later sir." "Well before you leave Lt. Just find me and I'll give you directions to her house." " Okay thank you sir." And with that the young man was off.
O'Neill Just sat in the room for a few minutes thinking about what had just happened then he remembered what the young man had told him. O'Neill stood up and started to walk where he thought Carter might be. He got to the door that lead into the lab Carter was in. O'Neill took a deep breath and opened up the door and went in.
There she was, just sitting there writing a report on some mineral they found on their last mission. She looked up as he came in and a smile spread across her face. "What are you doing here Colonel?" Well here goes nothing Jack thought to him self . " How would you like to go out and get some thing to eat Carter?" "You mean a date right?" "yeah, so what do you say?" "Sure." Sam looked at her watch, " just give me five more minutes and I'll be off." "Okay good" Jack said. "great" Sam said. "I'll see you in five." And with that Jack left the room. Carter couldn't help but smile as she finished up her report.
"I wonder what brought that up?" she said to her self
