Thank goodness for vacations thought Shannon. Not that she didn't like her job at the space program or her part time job on the television show Stargate, she loved both her jobs, but sometimes, sometimes you just needed a break away from it all, and Shannon was on a break now.

Shannon was on her way to meet Cameron Osborne, a rather handsome guy she had met on the space program and the show. They were both, or at least they had both been part time on the show, but she had just been given a full time role on the show. So her time at the space program would now be less, but it wasn't bothering Shannon, at least with the full time role on the show and part time at the space program she would get the best of both.

Dressed in a pair of denims and a pink satin top and black leather jacket, very casual for Shannon, she made her way to where she was going to meet Cameron. It had been a while since Shannon had spent time at Central Park. It didn't take Shannon long to reach the park, and as she walked through it, she thought how lovely it looked.

It didn't take long to find Cameron sitting on a bench. She walked up to him, hands in her pockets, she smiled down at him. "Hi Cameron." Then she moved to the other side of the bench and sat opposite him. "How are you?" She asked, as she looked around before turning to him again with a smile. "Reading through a script I see." She said stating the obvious, still looking at him and smiling.

Cameron was dressed in a pair of Levi jeans and a St. John polo shirt that was just blue. He was glancing at the script wondering what it was going to be like to be full time in this show. He loved to watch the show and it wasn’t very popular. They had good ratings and it really didn’t matter to him. He was just glad to have a job at this moment and time.

The park was a gorgeous place. It was probably the only thing in New York City that actually looked like it was before the settlers came. Before Britain came to start the colonies. It was just a peaceful part of the city and it wasn’t chaotic. Okay, it was probably chaotic. However, at this particular moment and time it was just peaceful and that was good enough for him.

Cameron was just interested in the script. It was a rough draft. However, it was just amazing. He was lost in his thoughts when he heard a familiar voice. It was Shannon Reeves. The one he was suppose to met here. “Hello” He said as he looked up with a twinkle in his eye almost, “I’m good” He stated as he looked at the script “Yeah, just skimming through” He said with a slight nod. “Please sit” He said as he patted the empty space next to him.

[shannon]

Shannon smiled when Cameron said hello and the twinkle in his eye didn't go unnoticed by her. He had such gorgeous eyes and a lovely smile. Shannon really enjoyed spending time around him. She loved what he was wearing, he looked so handsome and casual. Yes it was true, Shannon Reeves really had it big for Cameron Osborne. But then, who wouldn't?

"I'm glad to hear it." Shannon replied when Cameron said he was good, "I'm fine also." She added giving him a warm smile. She smiled again and nodded when he said he was just skimming through the script. "So is it any good?" She asked, the show did well from what she knew, and Shannon enjoyed her time working with it. Even if she did just start of as an consultant.

Cameron patted the seat beside him and told her to sit, so she did just that. "Why thank you Cameron." She replied, as she sat down and slapped her hands on her knees. "So, what you got planned?" She asked, wondering what he had planned for their little get together.

[ooc:rah, that's awful, sorry...for some reason I just can't think more to write.]

[cam]

Cameron wasn’t one for fashion. He just would rather where casual clothes and to be honest he decided to do something different and what he was wearing was different. For some reason he just decided that it would be easier for him to dress perhaps impress her. He was all about impressions at this moment in time and was hoping that he did impress her.

She was a beautiful individual and he was surprised that from reading her bio online that she wasn’t married or was in a serious relationship. Yet here he was trying to get in a relationship with a women who probably didn’t want a relationship. He smiled. “That’s good” He said with a slight nod and just kept looking into her beautiful eyes.

“My cousin written the episode and so far it is good, but he said that the producers would might want to change it up” He said sighing. “I get to be a part of the main team which is cool for me, I started out with the main team in the beginning of the show, but it was just a reoccurring deal” He said mentioned about his experience on the set.

He smiled as she took his jester and sat down next to him. He placed his hands on the script and went to a page. “Well, I was thinking of practicing some of the dialogue, I mean you were the only one that wasn’t busy, everyone else is busy with life, okay Walter isn’t, but Walter didn’t want to come to New York” He said sighing. It was true. “I haven’t played this character in years, I did do some guest spots but that was like long ago and last year it was only just a few guest spots” He finally admitted.

{I'm making so that he was part of the original cast. Walter, Greg, and he were a part of the regular cast}

[shannon]

Shannon couldn't help but notice how Cameron kept staring into her eyes. She found that as he did so, she was locking her own eyes with his very bright sparkly ones. Yes, it was true, Shannon found Cameron extremely handsome. Cameron remarked that the script was written by his cousin and so far it was good. She gave Cameron a warm smile. "That's good your cousin wrote the script, and glad it's good so far."

However he then mentioned about a change being made. "You don't think a change will help I gather?" She asked, having not really worked on the show before other than being a consultant, she had no idea about scripts and changes. Cameron then went on to explain about being a part of the main team, except last time he was only a recurring character. She gave him another bright smile.

"It's good you're getting to be part of the main team again then." She replied as she had sat down and then waited for him to answer her question about what he had planned. When he mentioned going over some of the dialogue, she hadn't quite expected that, but she was happy to do so. "Sure, of course I don't mind helping out, might get myself into the spirit for joining the show." Shannon said with a slight laugh.

Shannon continued to smile and nod her head as he spoke about not playing the character for years and when he did it was just guest spots. "Well come on then big guy." Shannon said with a wink, "What you waiting for, hit me with it."

Cameron finally took his eyes off of Shannon. He didn’t if he was embarrassing her or not and he decided that he wouldn’t stare. Staring wasn’t good. He didn’t want to get in trouble. He just gave a weak smile and nodded when she gave him a warm smile about his cousin writing the script. “He can be creative at times, sometimes dull at time” He remarked.

He did mention about a change being made. He didn’t know what would be changed it was a possibility. He had seen it many times during the first season. He sighed. “Yeah, we changed the pilot too many times” He said chuckling “First the Gou’ld were suppose to be and they were supposed to be Marians, then we decided on symbioses – the snakes” He said mentioning about the script changes.

“Glad to be back” He remarked about being part of the main team again. It was nice to actually be back in the acting business. It was something different and he was just excited to just do something that wasn’t Air Force related. Of course it was still Air Force related. However, it was a fictional show and he got to play a civilian. It was nice – change of events. “I see” He said with a smile “I’m sure it will get you in the spirit of the join” He said with a wink.

He glanced at her as she continued to smile. He smiled at her also and then was put on the spot. He sighed. “Alright I guess I could give it a shot my character has died so many times that I could pull it off” He said decided to go with what scene. “Not sure if your familiar with the season finale of last season, but my character Hunter was placed back on SG1 for this mission to find a machine that supposedly can kill the new enemy that appeared in the season premiere of the season last year” He said just giving Shannon a refresher course. “So I’ll be doing a scene about…gaining the old man’s abilities” He said referring to Merlin. He sighed and began to speak in character, “What just happened?” He asked with a slight pause “Don’t tell me…I took Merlin’s mind…I didn’t did I Lancealot?”

[shannon]

{Alright, I wasn't sure if Shannon was supposed to read a reply back from the script or not - so I just went with her commenting on how good he was in character. If that's wrong let me know and I can amend. Sorry}

Shannon could only shake her head with a slight laugh of amusement when Cameron said his cousin was creative but could also be a bit dull at times. Funny how family members could get away with saying things like that about each other, but if an outsider were to say it about Cameron's cousin, then he'd probably have something to say about it. "Creative but dull, well that's certainly different. Dull? How can you be so cruel about your own cousin?" Shannon replied, but laughed after asking her question about the dull statement, so Cameron would hopefully realise she was teasing with him a little.

"Changes keep us on our toes though Cameron." Shannon said with a slight laugh and a bright smile when he went on to explain about the pilot being changed several times. "Although, I have to admit, I think going with the symbioses was the best idea." She added with another bright smile. Shannon may only becoming a part of the cast in the new season, but she had always tried to watch the show, and she had always enjoyed it, even before being a consultant on it, and now she was about to star in it. It was rather amazing how things could evolve.

Shannon smiled and nodded her head when Cameron said he was glad to be back. Then he remarked that helping him would indeed get her in the spirit of joining the show. "I agree." She replied finding it extremely difficult not to do anything but smile at Cameron. Shannon had then told Cameron to hit her with it, and she couldn't help but laugh as he sighed, and went into a slight explanation of his character. "Alright then." She replied as she then listened to him go into character and read out a couple of lines.

"Lancealot?" Shannon asked, trying to figure out who in the show again Cameron's character would call Lancealot, however she smiled, because listening to him sounded great, from what she could remember on the show he sounded like he was in character to her. "Very good Cameron, I could hear the character in your voice." She replied, granted she hadn't watched the show all the time, there were certain episodes of seasons she had been unable to watch, but she'd certainly watched most of it.

{{LMAO I should do a journal entry on Cam’s alter ego}}

It was just quiet odd that family members could get away for saying things about how crazy their family is. His family was indeed crazy and quiet strange all together. He just gave a smile to Shannon and nodded as she spoke about his statement before hand. “Well, he has killed my character off many many times” He said with a slight chuckle as he got that Shannon was indeed teasing him.

He explained that the pilot had changed many times and waited to see the reaction from Shannon. It was kind of odd to be mentioning these things year later, but that was how it went. Yes it went like that. Things were always liked that. “Yes, they do” He said with a bright smile when she said that changes kept people on the toes. It was true. Especially in this business. He nodded in agreement. “Yes, symbioses were the best thing, I had to play one of them, well, one of them got stuck in my character” He said jokingly. He was having an interesting time with Shannon.

“Oh…uh…I forgot to mention I got Merlin’s mind, so that was why I was saying Lancealot” He said as he turned red scratching his head. He felt embarrassed for not even mentioning that part. It made him feel like an idiot and he indeed hoped that Shannon that of him like that. People made mistakes and he made mistakes. It was kind of sad to make mistakes, but that was just life. He smiled when she complimented on him doing good on his character. “Thanks” He said with a slight nod. "So who is your character?" He asked

[shannon]

{{Yes you should! I might do the same. But man I've got so many journal threads to create LOL}}

Shannon pretended to be mock shocked when Cameron mentioned about his character being killed off so many times. "Well that's just terrible, no wonder you think the way you do about him." She said teasing him, as she smiled mischievously, her eyes would give that away with the twinkle in them. "I mean, really, who could kill such a handsome guy off all the time?" Shannon said, and then immediately blushed after it realising what she had just said, that was more or less a chat up line.

Shannon smiled as Cameron agreed that changes kept you on your toes, and again when he agreed that the symbioses were the way best way to go. "That must have been interesting." Shannon said when Cameron spoke about having one of the symbioses stuck in him, or his character at least. "Tell me something Cameron, do you get to keep any props like that as a keep sake at all?" She asked, not that she thought keeping a prop of a symbiote would be a good idea, but, well there were plenty of other props which could be cool to take home.

"No need to get a red face Cameron Osborne." Shannon said with a grin, "I should have realised when you said mentioned having Merlin's mind in your line, just didn't get the connection, but I should have." This time it was Shannon's turn to get a red face, for not picking up on the connection between Merlin and Lancelot.

"You're welcome." Shannon replied when Cameron thanked her for saying he was good in his character. He then asked who her character was, she gave a smile, "I actually like this name, well the first name anyway." She said with a laugh before continuing. "Abigail Samson."

[cam]

“My cousin is the king of killing people off” He said shaking his head. “He is famous in the fandom for killing off the most annoying character that was ever introduced” He said with a mischievously smile as he just looked into her eyes. “Well, I had prior commitments family deaths” He said shaking his head. “And service to my country” He stated as to why he was killed off as he noticed that she was blushing. Did she like him or something!?

He smiled at her and nodded. “It was quiet interesting” He said remembering it. He just wanted to laugh at it. It was just quiet interesting speaking about this that was so old in a script change. He just looked at her when she asked him if he got to keep any props. “Yes, I have the symbiote” He said with a chuckle. “I also have a model of the Stargate, it is a fake one of course all of them are fake” He said speaking about props. He had other props, but those were not to be mentioned at this moment in time.

He didn’t even noticed that his face was red. He felt quiet embrassed when she mentioned to him that his face was red. He looked at her and nodded. “It’s just a mistake we are all prone to mistakes, yeah?” He asked. Everyone wasn’t prefect. Everyone had mistakes and that was just one of them. He looked at her and noticed that she was turning red also. He just simply smile and didn’t say a word. It was best if it was unsaid.

Cameron was going to help her out with her character. He smiled and nodded when she said she liked the first name. It was a pretty name. He liked Abigail. “Nice, if I remember correctly, she is a Astrophysicists” He said “Hopefully she is a better Astrophysicists than Damion McDowel ” He said with a slight chuckle.

[shannon]

{Alright Shannon digs astrophysics, but personally I have no clue}

Shannon just smiled softly as Cameron told her his cousin was the king of killing people off and for killing off the most annoying character ever introduced. Shannon then grinned, teasing she said, "I wouldn't say your character was annoying at all." She laughed after it, and then couldn't help but add, "So do you call your cousin the Grim Reaper or anything then?" Shannon then laughed, laughing at her own humour, was that sad?

"Ah, so there was a valid reason for you being killed off then?" Shannon asked, feeling a little foolish now for asking why would they kill such a handsome guy off so many times. "Service to your country? What were you doing?" Shannon asked genuinely interested in Cameron done, unless of course he was talking about being an astronaut, which of course Shannon was herself. Something she was now doing part time since getting a full time stint on the Stargate show.

Shannon gave off a bright smile when Cameron answered her question about props and said he was able to keep the symbiote and a fake Stargate model. "That's awesome Cameron, I hope I might be able to get a model of the Stargate some time." She said with a grin.

Shannon nodded, "Yes, it's true, everybody is prone to making mistakes, hell I know I've made a few in my life." If someone said they had never made a mistake in their life, then they had to be lying. It was impossible to go through life and not make at least one mistake.

"Really? How fortunate is that? I'm a bit of an astrophysics nut myself." Shannon replied with a bit of a laugh, finding it incredible that her character was an astrophysics also. "Sounds almost like they made the part for me." She added, and laughed again. Yes, Shannon was pretty sure she was going to enjoy working on this show. Especially since she had a handsome co-star, well a few, but she only had eyes for one man and that was Cameron Osborne. She just wished she knew if he felt the same way or not.

“No, mine wasn’t the annoying character it was someone totally different” He remarked about the conversation at hand. He was really enjoying talking with Shannon. It was better than actually talking with Evan or anyone else. It just was nice to have a civil conversation and not having an argument over it. He chuckled a bit. “Actually Dean, the producer calls him that” He said trying to hold back the laughing.

He slowly nodded when he mention that he did have a valid reason for being killed off those times. “Yep that was the reason, though no one knows that well expect for a few fans, but that’s about it” He said sighing as she asked what he was doing for his country. “I was in Afghanistan doing USO stuff ended up getting reinstated for three month helping fighting become buddies with the Vice President before he was the Vice President” He said referring to what he was doing for his country. It was an amazing time. Fighting wasn’t his favorite thing, but entertaining his fellow soldiers were nice.

He nodded in agreement as she gave him a grin about the props. “Maybe we have a lot scatted around especially in storage” He said with a bright smile. He was really going to enjoy working with this woman – he could tell. “See we all do” He said nodding in agreement. It was very true. Because no one was prefect. Everyone had a flaw in their lives and it was just the way it was. People were just like that, god wanted people to have mistakes and be prefect. It was just part of life.


He laughed when she said that she was an astrophysics nut. “I’m also, but my character is an Archeologist always wanted to be one, but I get to play one on television” He said shaking his head. “So have you met any of the other cast members?” He asked wondering if she had got acquainted with them or not. He hoped that she wasn’t acquainted with any of them. Well, not at the moment and time. He wanted to acquaint himself with her.

{{LOL -- USO = United Service Organization. It is when entertainers go to the war zone to entertain the troops.}}

[shannon]

{Dean calls him the Grim Reaper - does he now? LOL}

Shannon grinned, "I thought so, so who was the annoying character? Have there been many, in your opinion?" Shannon asked, enjoying her conversation with Cameron Osborne, not only was he handsome, have the most gorgeous sparkling eyes, he knew how to hold a conversation and that in itself was just fantastic in Shannon's eyes. When Cameron said that the producer Dean actually called his cousin the Grim Reaper, Shannon couldn't help but laugh also. "Really? Funny I should say the same phrase then."

"I see." Shannon replied when he agreed that was the reason for his being killed off and nobody knot really knowing apart from a few fans. He then went on to explain what he did for his country, this intrigued and impressed Shannon. She smiled at him, "That's wonderful Cameron that you did that for the troops and then fought for the country too. And friends with the Vice President, you really are something, huh?" Shannon said obviously very impressed and showing it.

"Well, that would be great." Shannon replied when Cameron agreed she may be able to get a prop of a Stargate. She could just imagine having her photo taken standing by the Stargate and showing it off to her family. They would be so impressed with her. She laughed to herself at the thought. Shannon just smiled when Cameron agreed that everybody makes mistakes. It would seem that indeed was the case.

"Really? How interesting." Shannon replied when Cameron said he was an astrophysics nut himself, although his character was an archaeologist. Cameron then went on to explain that he had wanted to be an archaeologist, but at least he got to play one on television. "Yes, that you do, and a good one at that." Shannon replied giving him a smile, and blushing again slightly, realising she was paying him yet another compliment.

He then asked if she'd met any of the other cast members yet, well she hadn't. So far, Cameron was the only one, but right now, she was pretty certain Cameron was the only one she wanted to meet for now. "No, you're the only one I've met so far, and I'm actually quite glad about that." Shannon said, blushing again when she realised what she had just said. Man, why did her mouth always have to get in the way.

[cam]

{{Yep, lmao}}

“The only annoying character in my book has been the one who was killed off” He said shaking his head “That character had something to do with my character, a love-hate relationship” He shrugged his shoulders back as he spoke about the character. “She was okay at first, but then she got annoying and the fans got pissed at her” He said with laughter. “So my character killed her, apparently she was some kind of Replicator from the future” He said rolling his eyes as he nodded in agreement. “Yes, we all call him that on set, it is what you would call an inside joke”

He wondered if what he was doing for his country impressed Shannon at all. It always seemed to impress people – he met in bars. They were always the people who wanted to support entertainers and the troops. He smiled. “Thanks” He said with a warm tone. “Turns out the Vice President is also my cousin” He said with a slight chuckle, “Haven’t talked with Evan about it, he is probably still shocked about it” He said referring to how the Vice President was now his family member and not just a friend now.

He was enjoying this conversation with Shannon. It was something different and he liked different. Different was always good in his book. He liked unique stuff and this conversation was rather interesting. Yes it was interesting. Perhaps it would be one of the most interesting conversations he had in a very, very long time. “I’m sure it will be” He said with a slight nod as he glanced around wondering what else to speak about.

It was true Cameron Osborne was an Astrophysicist nut himself. He had majored in it and loved to read things about it. It was just one of those thing that he enjoyed. It was an interesting concept. He turned red a little as Shannon informed him that he was a good one at that. “You really think so?” He asked with a curious tone – wondering if she was just playing with him or was she really saying those things as if she cared.

He went on to ask her if she had met any of the other cast members. He was surprised to hear her answer in which she didn’t meet them yet. He felt good. He was the only one who have met the new addition of the cast and that was a first for him and he liked it. He liked it a lot. He smiled at her. “Oh you are?” He asked as he looked into her eyes, “I’m glad at met you also” He finally admitted. Not sure why he was admitting this. This was new to him.
