'They cut your hair.' The Colonel stated obviously as they sat inside in the infirmary.

Daniel all but glowered at him and tugged at his newly shorn hair rather self consciously.

'Yes, Jack they did.'

'It's really short.' He blinked in what could only be described as wonderment as he cocked his head at him.

'Thank you.' Daniel bit out, lying back in the bed and staring up at the ceiling, grinding his teeth slightly.

'I mean it's really short.' Sam was watching the increasing bizarre conversation play out between both men. She couldn't tell if the Colonel was being serious or just attempting to drive Daniel completely up the walls.

Given how long he'd been talking about Daniels' new hair style it was the latter reason.

Janet at this point was standing outside the team and was watching the two grown men in slack jawed shock. Makepeace and his team were guffawing at them and Teal'c seemed to be kel'no'reem-ing.

Sneaky bastard, Sam thought waspishly as she watched him.

'I mean look at you! It's really short!'

'I'm perfectly aware of that Jack, can we please leave it alone.'

'But-'

'JACK!'

'Daniel!'

Janet at this point had overcome her shock over the lunacy of the conversation and had come over to her and was doing the usual check up.

'I have found a new level of respect for you Sam.' Jane muttered quietly to her as she shone the ever annoying penlight into her eyes. Sam nodded, smiling slightly as she focused on her friend and not the squabbling children. The argument had descended into simply barking Jack and Daniel at each other.

'The bonuses are pretty good.' She joked crossing her legs and leaning back on her forearms. Both women focused on the men yet again.

'Stop commenting Jack!'

'It's really disconcerting!' At this Sam and Janet exchanged a confused glance.

'Seriously?'

'I've known you as the shaggy hair linguist for over three years! This isn't you!'

'For Christs' sake Jack!' At this point Sam and Janet were watching this argument like they were watching a tennis match. Sam couldn't help but wonder how ridiculous this looked to anyone else milling around.

Two grown, intelligent, successful, if not somewhat powerful men, squabbling like children, two women watching the back and forth in bafflement and one alien meditating in the corner.

Just when Sam thought that her life had reached the maximum in weirdness.

'Am I not allowed to be surprised by sudden changes in my life?'

'Sure you are, but it's my HAIR!'

'I have to look at it nearly every day!'

'It's my hair!'

'You don't have to look at it all the time!'

'Sam's hair changes all the time and yet you don't comment!'

'Hey!' At this Sam couldn't help but interject, those two arguing about something completely inane was one thing but to drag her into the mix was quite another.

'You two leave me out of this!' She pointed at both of the commandingly and narrowed her eyes as a warning.

'Sorry Sam.'

'Sorry Carter.' Daniel and the Colonel both mumbled apologetically at her and tried to pull the puppy dog eye trick on her.

Sam merely stared at them levelly and they both mumbled sorry again.

'And to think that most of the women are base are jealous of you.' Janet muttered under her breath to Sam and she had to do her best to stop herself from laughing.

'Especially with Daniel's new hair.' She countered quietly and Janet had to bite down on her lip to prevent the laughter.

'You poor woman.' Janet giggled as she moved away with varying blood samples and notations.

'Oh woe is me.' Sam called rolling her eyes and turning to find both Daniel and the Colonel staring at her in a similar manner to her previous look. She blinked before pulling her most innocent expression and smiling brightly at them.

Luckily for her, the guys usually bought her innocent stare, wasn't like Sam was the type to need to fake that particular look.

Teal'c was the only one who didn't buy it, but he always saw why she needed to do it. A very understanding jaffa, Teal'c. She couldn't imagine Bra'tac doing the same thing for her.

He'd probably focus on the Colonel and call him a hassock.

She really had to ask Daniel what that meant, could come in extremely handy.

'Anyway Daniel, I don't comment on Carter's hair because she's a woman. Hair change is normal, I'm just glad I don't have to guess what's different. Sorry.' The Colonel focused back on Daniel, but gave Sam a rueful look at the latter part, which she just waved off.

Though she did have the mental image of the Colonel stammering and looking baffled at what Sam had done to her hair.

Sam had to will herself not to laugh at that.

'Can you please stop? Yes they did cut my hair. Woop de bloody do! A-mazing.' Daniel snapped at him and they both dissolved back into their finicky arguing.

Sam couldn't fathom how these too managed to get so much out of one hair cut. They had now been arguing for total three quarters of an hour about Daniels new hairstyle.

Personally Sam thought it was about time, but she was smart enough to know when to keep her mouth shut.

She also couldn't understand why the Colonel was so baffled by the change, but he was by nature a surprising man. She should really have known better, but they'd had a rough couple of days.

'Jack if I could get up I would smack you!'

'Like you'd actually manage to make contact!'

Sam rolled her eyes, not caring who saw, and suppressed a groan.

'It looks like they cut it with a very small bowl!'

'Well at least I don't have grey hair!'

Sam couldn't help the loud groan that let loose.

She was going to kill them both.

Screw the consequences.

'DAMNIT DANIEL!'

Oh yeah they were both doomed.


Yeah this popped into my head this afternoon and I just went YES!

I was hoping to do a follow up to 'Unexpected Hair Issues' as the response has be amazing and I was rewatching 'Out of Mind' and 'Into the Fire' and I just knew that I had to do this.

Only Jack could get away with it, and Sam would of course be stuck in the middle of it all.

I even have another about Teal'c half done... My muse fairy was very kind this afternoon!

Anyways enjoy and I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it! I'm still giggling.

PLEEEEEEEASE read and review!
