Halloween...it's all about the costume

spacegypsy1

Sam and Vala try a new approach to costuming. S/V friendship.

~o0o~

Vala laughed so hard she doubled over and tried to suck in some air. Sam's echoing laughter escalated and set off a chain reaction...again.

"This is insane. We are going to be soooo sorry. Oh, Vala, I can't do this. It's so wrong on so many levels!" Giggling uncontrollably, Sam took a seat at the foot of her bed and turned her face away from her friend. She couldn't take another moment of this. It had to stop! There was no way this could actually be done, no matter what safeguards Vala insisted she'd put in place.

"It works. No one will ever know but you and me. Come on, Samantha! You NEVER do anything for the fun of it. Besides, I promise you, there is no way to find out. These aren't from the storage wonko area thingie from that foothold situation I read about. They're the ones I found on PX3-4P9. Nobody ever came to pick them up and they've sat in Daniel's cabinet for two years. Please!"

Covering her face with her hands, Sam shook her head in denial, all the while her laughter bubbled up.

"Look." Vala shoved a mirror in front of Sam's hand covered face.

Fingers splaying slowly, Sam's eyes peeped through. All she could see of the reflection were those grey eyes staring back at her. She nearly screamed with hysterical laughter and fell back on the bed. "OH, MY GOD!"

Vala flipped long blond hair off her shoulders, brushed imaginary lint from her Colonel star studded uniform, looked in the mirror, cocked her head, and tried out some 'Carter speak', "Holy Hannah! Magnetic particles are shifting the thingies... ah, I mean the polar fields... damn, I'm going to have to figure out all that stuff."

Sam sat up, parting the mass of ebony curls that covered her face, yanked the leather bustier back down, and drew a steadying breath. "Let me see that!" She snatched the mirror from her friend and gazed at her reflection. Actually, Vala's reflection. "Darling! Thingie? Wonko. My Daniel... easy! I can do this. It is Halloween after all."

Vala glared at Sam from Sam's own body. "Absolutely no kissing my Daniel!"

"Not a problem. And no flirting with Jack. Deal?"

"Deal."

Vala and Sam shook hands. Or really, Sam and Vala shook hands...
