A/N: This is for wackyjacqs because every girl likes to see Jack O'Neill in a uniform whether it be in dress blues or not, right? :)

"For cryin' out loud! You want us to do what, Sir?!"

"I know it is a ridiculous plan, Colonel but you know as well as I that every possible case of a Goa'uld invasion of any kind on Earth must be investigated no matter how it sounds."

Major General George Hammond was losing patience with his second in command. He knew it was a ridiculous plan but he needed his 2IC to take what he said and run with it for once! He was getting pressure from Washington to show more results and as of yesterday, there would be an internal audit at Stargate Command. Not that he mentioned this piece of wonderful news to the irascible colonel just yet and wasn't relishing it either. Jack O'Neill may well blow the proverbial gasket! So this 'mission' may be the perfect opportunity to show the suits in Washington just how effective his first team was out in the field.

"But Sir, undercover at a circus?! Really? Thinking about it though, T would fit right in! Not as a clown, no, he'd scare the children, we've only just taught him to smile! Maybe as an animal trainer? Danny boy can be the clown!"

"Hey! What makes you think you won't be the clown, Jack? You're perfect for the job seen as you act like a child most days anyway."

Sam couldn't help the giggle that escaped her as she pictured the colonel in full clown regalia -red nose included!

Jack swung around to look at his 2IC. "Oh laugh now, Carter. I guarantee you won't be laughing very soon!"

Sam paled. They were never going to make her dress up again, were they? Every time. How was it that every time they went on a mission to some weird planet with archaic rules she was the one to suffer with that world's traditions? Only this time it was here on Earth and she'd only just sworn to herself after the incident with the Shavadai she would never complain about sexism on Earth again! Now she was about to step into a situation where it certainly was 'a man's world.' She just would have to bite her tongue, nod and smile if it indeed came down to that. She had a suspicion it would.

"SG1, you have a go. You leave in one hour."

Walking down the corridor to the locker room Sam mentally prepared herself for the upcoming mission. Shaking her head as she got to the locker room door. She broke out of her reverie and her head shot up at the sound of shuffling feet near her locker. She caught the looks of guilt on all three of her teammates faces.

"What?"

Sam looked between all three of them and settled her gaze on her Commanding Officer with a raised eyebrow.

Jack was fidgetty. He'd seen what was awaiting Carter in her locker and knew she wouldn't be best pleased. But he would when he'd see her in it! He gave a low whistle. Yep. He'd be a happy camper. Every male within a 5 mile radius t would be tonight by his reckoning! Uh oh Carter was looking at him strangely better think of an answer quick!

"Sir?"

"Nothin' Carter. Just organising pick up for later. Danny's driving. See you in an hour!"

Jack exited the locker room like his feet were on fire. How was he going to concentrate on the job later if Carter was going to be looking like...well...Carter?! Oy! The things he must endure for his country! Still it was better than nothing. Maybe one day he'd bless the child who called that clown at the circus, "that funny looking man with the glowing eyes." But not today. Today he had a job to do. A job with distractions. And those distractions happened to be in the form of his blue-eyed second in command. Oy!

Sam was left staring after the colonel as he left the room. She looked to Daniel for and explanation.

"Don't look at me, Sam." Daniel shrugged his shoulders while failing to hide a smirk.

Teal'c just raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked as they exited the locker room, "What is a circus, Daniel Jackson?"
