Jack gulped and did a double take. His jaw dropped once more and his eyes stared at the beauty sitting beside him. Daniel's jaw had also dropped and Tealc looked, well as surprised as a Jaffa could look considering their lack of facial expression.

"Do you guys have to stare" hissed a voice barely above a whisper "You aren't exactly making things easier for me"

Samantha Carter couldn't think of herself being in a worse position. They had travelled through the gate hundreds of times before. Moreover, everytime they met the natives of the different planets most irritatingly considered them gods.

However, this is the first time she had been swept away by a tide of people. Pampered and petted. Smelling of twenty different oils, scents and sprays. They had done something to her hair, which she knew, looked good but not necessarily comfortable. Mortifyingly enough they disrobed her before she had had a chance to think about what was happening and robed her once more in a fabric which felt like satin, looked like silk and accentuated and clung to every curve of her slim figure. It was an icy blue, which set off her eyes, with hints of silver running throughout, swept the floor, hung gracefully off the shoulder, she had no idea how, it stayed up but it did. The back hung low revealing all of her spine; they had adorned her with jewels, which lay about her neck, on her wrists, in her hair and fingers. She wore flat sandals on her feet, which were also silver, and had twists of silver twisting around her ankles and up her legs.

Samantha Carter had never been so embarrassed or uncomfortable in her entire life.

The natives had then brought her into a large chamber. The walls were adorned with beautiful paintings. Flashes of colour raced along the walls. Windows reached from ceiling too floor allowing the light of the suns too shine through, the colours of the walls glistening in their rays. Sam was sat at the head of a long banqueting table. The table itself was a sight too behold. Any part of it not covered with meat filled platters, bowls of fruit, pitchers of wine and juices was filled with sweet scented flowers, and twisted golden candlesticks.

Her teammates had then been brought to the banqueting table. Still robed in their SG uniforms. They had been seated and joined by a throng of about fifty natives. They had sat silently looking at the person they could only describe as a Goddess sitting by them. Realisation had set in, and jaws had dropped, eyebrows had raised and a considered Goddess had turned a complimenting pink.

Sam shifted uncomfortably under their gaze. Jack looked like he was about to drool. Daniel looked shocked and Tealc was uncannily staring. The people around them were laughing a joking, uttering words of no meaning too them. Sam found herself being served from platters being poured wine and being urged to drink and take part in the nuptials before her. She looked helplessly at Daniel, hoping he could shed some light on the situation. He shook himself from his stare and turned his attention to the young man sitting next too him. Tealc turned his attention to the people around him. Jack had managed too close his mouth but still had not dragged his eyes from, all over her. She shifted beneath his gaze, uncomfortably aware of his eyes looking over her. She could not bring her eyes to meet his, and felt herself becoming slightly giddy from the scented oils she was wearing. She smiled and picked up the small goblet before her taking a sip of the sweet wine it held.

Samantha Carter had a feeling it was going to be a long mission. Jack O'Neill secretly hoped it was going to be.
