"Hey, babe."

"If you call me babe again, I'm going to castrate you with this zat gun." She picked up the zat and waved it around like she meant it.

Wow. Was that even possible? Jack supposed that if her aim was good she just make his testicles vanish into thin air. Disturbing. But still... "So, honey, got that DHD fixed yet?" Heh. Sure he was risking some important body parts but her expression was so worth it.

"No." Carter paused. She was probably counting to ten. Very Zen. Or Feng Shui. Something. "Don't you have something more useful to do?"

He didn't really. The planet was uninhabited and the wildlife was completely uninteresting. Tasty, but uninteresting. "Nope. Not a thing." She'd been working on the DHD all day and Jack was feeling slightly ignored. Like a fruit cake three days after Christmas. "Wanna go back to the tent?" She was so never going to sleep with him again. Still, this was the most fun he'd had in the two weeks they'd been stuck on this rock. "Snookums?"

She cocked the zat.

Jack backed away with his hands out. "All right. I'll go."

He set the timer on his watch to go off in twenty minutes then changed it to thirty. Just in case. Harassing Carter was fun but he didn't want to push his luck. And he wasn't really in much of a hurry to leave. Being stranded with Carter was the best thing to happen to him since he took that stupid job in D.C.

Maybe he'd give her the parts he stole from the DHD tomorrow.

And maybe she wouldn't kill him.

Maybe.
