Jack was having the night of his life. He had cold beer, his favorite female colonel, a whole series of The Simpson's and his best friends all at his cabin. They were currently half way through a discussion comparing the characters of the show to members of the SGC.
"Hammond would have to be Homer Simpson. Hands down." Jack chuckled, taking a large swig of his beer.
"No way!" Daniel protested. "General Hammond would not be Homer. You would be Homer."
Sam almost spat her drink back out in laughter as she heard that. Jack rubbed her back, glaring daggers at his slightly inebriated friend. Jack had made sure Daniel was only drinking Ginger Beer tonight, because the last time he got drunk he ran around stark naked, but that was a different story, and Jack wasn't going to make that mistake again.
"Daniel, think about it. What did Hammond used wear to work everyday?"
"A white shirt."
"And what does Homer wear everyday?"
Daniels eyebrows furrowed in thought, before he caught on.
"A white shirt! Oh, I see your point now…but, I still think that you are more like Homer than Hammond."
"I can actually see that Jack." Sam laughed to her Fiancée. "Both you and Homer are obsessed with beer, both you and Homer have really bad senses of humor," that received her a mock glare, "and both of you work for really old guys."
Daniel snorted, Teal'c entering the living room with a fresh beer..
"Sam," Jack said with a smirk. "Did you just call the president old? Most of all, did you just call me old?"
"Yep!" She grinned.
"I believe Colonel Carter would be Marge Simpson then if O'Neill is to be Homer Simpson." Teal'c spoke up, a smirk gracing his over sized lips.
"I thought you were on my side, Teal'c!" Sam complained, and Daniel laughed harder. "Hey, Daniel you shouldn't laugh. You most resemble Millhouse." She pointed out.
"Yeah, Danny boy. The glasses, the geeky-ness…it all fits." Jack pitched in.
Before Daniel could argue, the doorbell rang, and he jumped to his feet, racing to welcome the others. Pulling open the door, Daniel saw Vala and Cam outside smiling; pizza boxes, along with two extra cases of beer in their hands.
"Greetings earthlings!" Cam smiled, brushing past Daniel into the hallway.
"Mitchell! Did you bring the beer and the pizza?" Jack called.
"Sure did."
Vala smiled as Daniel held the door open for her. It was nice to see that chivalry wasn't dead, and that Daniel still practiced it occasionally. Despite saying that his feelings for her were none, it were actions like holding the door for her, or offering to carry something as he did now, that lead everyone to believe that there unspoken feelings between the him and Vala.
"So what are we talking about?" Vala said as she entered the living room, setting the beer onto the coffee table.
"We are comparing the characters of 'The Simpson's to real life people," Teal'c explained, watching when Vala sat just inches away from Daniel.
"Oh. And who have we decided Muscles is?" She asked.
"Actually, we haven't gotten to him yet." Sam smiled, realizing that Teal'c had so far evaded the game. Not for long she thought. She quickly explained the comparisons to Vala and Cam, before getting back into the game.
"Okay, Teal'c you would have to be Chief Wiggums officers."
"Ha! Which one?" Jack asked.
Sam thought about it. "Both."
Teal'c raised his eyebrow but remained silent.
"I'm getting bored with this already." Vala whined, and Daniel nodded in agreement.
"Well, what do you suggest we play?" Jack asked, passing the box of Pizza to Sam, after taking his own slice.
"What about Truth and Dare?" Cam offered, and the group sighed collectively, except for Jack who was smiling broadly. Everyone knew that Jack O'Neill couldn't back down from Truth or Dare, and Cam mentally kicked for suggesting the game.
"You're on, Mitchell." Jack grinned. "I'll go first. Hmm, Daniel." His friend looked up. "Truth or dare?"
"Oh god, um. Truth."
Jack thought for a moment. "If not a Goa'uld, which Goa'uld would you hook up with?"
"Quatesh." He replied instantly, and Jack, Sam and Cam burst into laughter at the look on Vala's face. It was of pure surprise, and then turned into one of happiness.
"Really, Daniel? I did something for you as a Goa'uld. What about not a Goa'uld?"
Daniel chocked on his words, obviously trying to cover his mistake. How the hell did he come out with Vala's alter ego? It was not possible that he said it out loud, but now that he had, he knew no one was going to let him forget it. Ever.
Moving one, he thought of whom he could ask, and turned to Cam.
"Truth or Dare?" he asked.
"Well, truth is for sissies." Cam commented.
"So truth then?" Jack laughed.
"Very funny, General." Cam smirked, turning back to Daniel who was looking at him for an answer. "Dare."
"Okay. I dare you to go into the infirmary on your next check up and ask about face moisturizers and mud packs, and then invite Caroline to come over and help you with it."
Cams face screwed up in disgust, Teal'c's hearty laugh filling the cabin.
"No. Way." Cam protested, glaring at his alien friend. "You're next buddy boy. Don't you worry about that."
"You have to do it Mitchell." Jack said in between laughs.
Cam growled, searching the amused glances of his friends and the one very smug look coming from Daniel. This sucks, he was thinking.
Hey, now you might get to ask her on a date, his subconscious chimed in.
She is married!
So? She is getting a divorce anyway.
And she is Landry's daughter! He would kill me if I asked his daughter on a date!
"Earth to Cameron!" Sam waved her arm in front of the mans face with a smile, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Sorry!" He grinned sheepishly
"It's your turn to choose," Sam told him, taking a bite of her pizza.
"Ok." He didn't even have to think about it. "Teal'c, truth or dare?"
Teal'c raised his eyebrow in thought.
"I believe I will choose dare colonel Mitchell."
This was it. He was going to get it for laughing at him, Cam mused to himself with an evil smile.
"I dare you to let Vala wax your leg hairs" He stated and if it was possible Cam thought he saw Teal'c's face pale and Vala's eyes light up
Vala turned to Sam, excitement radiating off her, a dangerous twinkle in her eye. Oh dear God.
"Sam do you have any waxing strips?"
Jack jumped up and ran to the bathroom whilst exclaiming "I'll get them!"
A moment later he returned with a purple box and Sam gasped before sending a glare in her fiancées direction "How did you know I had wax strips?"
"I see all, carter" Jack replied, a sly smile on his face.
"Oh I bow to you all great and all seeing Jedi master," Sam replied sarcastically, a smile gracing her face. She leant against Jack, kissing his cheek sweetly.
"You know you do remind me a little of Yoda" Daniel exclaimed taking a sip of ginger beer, watching his friends. He still couldn't believe that after 10 years of working together, of saving the world, and each other, they had finally found love. He wanted that. Ever since Sha're, he had wanted something like what he and she had shared, but he hadn't found the woman yet.
But then he met Vala. She was the complete opposite of his previous lovers. She was wild, insane, funny, sexy…the list went on.
"I am not short green and I do not speak backwards…although I'm not denying that I am wise." Jack was saying, grinning.
"There was that one time when you said and I quote 'make sense you not'", Daniel laughed finding his mind still thinking abut the woman sitting just inches away from him.
"If anyone's Yoda here, its you Danny." Jack retorted.
"Awwww your calling me wise? That's the biggest compliment you've ever given me. Thanks."
Jack rolled his eyes.
"Guys, Guys, Guys, Guys, Guys, Guys, Guys." the bantering stopped as Vala spoke, all eyes landing on her. "Who's this Yoda fellow?" The others all voiced their disbelief before Jack cut in.
"That's a story for another time."
"Let's do this!" Cam said, snatching the box of wax strips from Jack, handing them to Vala who grinned manically.
Quickly, she Jack and Daniel cleared an area on the floor, Sam laying towels on the carpet, and patting them invitingly for Teal'c who actually appeared frightened.
"Sorry Teal'c," Sam smiled apologetically, "But you chose dare."
Jack disappeared once again, and was gone a moment before returning with Talcum powder from the bathroom, receiving him a curious glance from Daniel.
"I've never thought of you being one to wax, Jack. You seem to know all the tricks of the trade." He remarked.
Jack ignored his friend and handed Sam the powder. Teal'c was now seated on the floor, hi trousers rolled up to his knees. Carter applied a generous amount of Talcum into her hands, before applying it to her friend's legs.
"Okay, Vala. He is all yours." She said, wiping her hands on a towel beside her. Vala smiled evilly, kneeling beside Teal'c, Jack, Daniel and Cam standing back from them. Cam smiled to himself. This was going to be fun!
