Spoilers: none Season: 1/2?
Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate.
The members of SG1 were sitting around *their* table in the commissary enjoying a box of Fruit Loops while listening to Colonel O'Neill reminisce the good old days of basic training.
"So then I say to the general, 'Yeah, well your mother is a ('"
"SG1 report to the debriefing room," an unidentifiable voice droned over the intercom, interrupting the Colonel.
"Oh, come on! I was just getting to the good part."

"Please take your seats everyone. This meeting will not last long," Hammond began.
"As you already know, SG3 has been spending the last two days making contact with the Lenowans on P3X-829."
"That's the planet the MALP showed as having a great amount of vegetation, right?" Daniel asked.
"Precisely. Dr. Frasier was especially hopeful that some of those plants might have medicinal benefits. And it turns out she may get a chance to find out."
"The people were friendly, I take it?"
"Yes, Colonel, they were. But they are very cautious about trading outside of their village. Especially to people of such different cultural beliefs."
Daniel's head popped up. "Why, what type of a culture do they have?"
"Well, the belief that most affects us right now is that all of their people must be married by a very early age. It is considered an offence to be over the age of seventeen and still unwed. Needless to say, it made them very uneasy to know that all but one of SG3 were not married."
"Um, I don't understand, sir. How does this involve us?" Sam asked.
"Since trading with these people could prove very beneficial to us, we need to do everything possible to gain their trust. That's why I'm sending part of SG1 to complete the trade negotiations."
"General Hammond, I do not understand. If SG3 found difficulty because of their marital status, how is SG1 any different? Neither Colonel O'Neill, Captain Carter, Daniel Jackson, or myself are married."
"Well, Teal'c, the Lenowans don't know that."
"I do not understand."
General Hammond took a deep breath and steeled himself.
"Although it gives me slight pause to be deceptive with the Lenowans, the President and I agree that it is harmless enough in order to gain the supplies we need. As there are no married couples with both people familiar with the Stargate project, Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter will go to Lenowa as husband and wife."
Jack spit out his coffee.

"So, Teal'c, you think they'll be able pretend good enough to get us some of those plants?"
"I am uncertain Daniel Jackson. It will be quite a change for Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter. However, they have proven themselves to be capable warriors."

Jack and Sam stood at the base of the ramp leading to the stargate.
"So are you going to be okay with this whole marriage thing, sir?"
"Yeah, it should be a piece of cake."
"Oh, well I was just a little concerned after you spit all over the General like that. That was kind of gross, sir."
"Carter! Get through that gate!"
"I mean you even got it all over my folders and everything, sir."
"Now, Carter!"
"Yes, Darling!"
"Carter!"

Well, there's the first chapter. I can have another chapter up tonight or tomorrow. Should I continue? Please review!
