For all these crossover stories I'm writing, I have tried to marry the air dates of both shows and have therefore mentioned or taken direct quotes from both shows. Kudos goes to the writers of both the West Wing and Stargate SG:1 for their text. No infringement is intentional.

As the siren sounded, General Hammond raced down the stairs to the control room overlooking the gate room.

No-one's due back.

Its SG1's IDC Sir.

Good. Open the Iris.
Hammond and Daniel ran down the stairs and entered the gate room as the Iris opened, the silvery-blue horizon illuminating the gate room. Relief flooded through them all as Colonel O'Neill, Captain Carter and Tealc stepped through the gate.

Well it's about time!

We've been dialling home for over a week.

It's great to see you guys too.

I am pleased to see you well Daniel Jackson.

Thank you Tealc. You've got a... Daniel pointed to his chin and then pointed to Tealc's chin.

Ack, don't touch it.

Glad you made it SG1.

Where's the fan fair General?

We did kind of save the planet Sir

Again; this should not get old General.

Job well done

Thank you Sir. It was...nothing.

What happened to Thor?

We got him out in the stasis pod.

It was retrieved when we passed through the Stargate on P4X-P34

It must have had a locating beacon.

They left you behind?

We were...fine Sir.

I'd be happy to debrief you all after I've debriefed myself for a nice hot shower.

General Hammond wrinkled his nose as Jack, Sam and Tealc stepped closer them.

Permission to shower granted; in fact I insist on it Colonel.

Bad?

I wasn't gunna say anything...
Daniel stepped back to allow them to walk past him, almost gagging from the scent.

Leo knocked on the President's adjoining door to his office and without waiting for a reply opened the door.

Yeah; the President replied looking up at Leo.

Mr. President, I just got word from Major Davis, SG1 returned safely to the SGC.

Oh, thank God. How are they?

Well, aside from Tealc growing some facial hair and some very smelly bodies, they were fine. Turns out they had travelled to a nearby gate and enjoyed the time going fishing, well at least Colonel O'Neill had. I got the impression Captain Carter was getting rather annoyed with him by the end of their forced leave and Tealc had wandered off after eating some hallucinogenic berries.
Leo smiled as Jed threw his head back and laughed.

Leo, we've gotta get them up here. Invite them for dinner on Saturday. We'll have it in the Residence with senior staff.

Yes Sir. What about Tealc?

Ah, tell 'em it's a casual affair. He can wear a hat if he likes. I want him to come though Leo.

Yes Sir. What should I tell senior staff?

They've met them before, they don't know what they do, but not many people do know that.

Yes Sir.

Thanks Leo.

Hey CJ

Hi Sam

So, are you going to the Residence this Saturday?

Yeah. I wasn't aware we were in a position to refuse.

We aren't.

So, why are you asking me?

Did you hear that SG1 is coming too? Toby's so not looking forward to meeting Dr. Jackson again.

Yeah I did hear that. It should be entertaining watching Toby getting a good arse-kicking again.
Sam laughed at CJ's response, remembering the dressing down Toby got by the Colonel over the speech for the state dinner.

Do you think the President will be able to resist speaking the entire night in Latin?

CJ laughed at that and heard Josh laughing too as he approached them.

I seriously doubt that. Josh replied.

You know, Dr. Jackson could speak to the President in Latin and the First Lady in Italian all night.

Yeah, and if Zoe turns up, he could talk to her in French.

Josh, CJ and Sam all sniggered at their conversation.

JOSH! Donna yelled.

Gotta go. See ya later.
Josh ducked out of CJ's office. Sam turned to leave as well, before calling back to CJ

What are we meant to wear on Saturday?

Smart casual, you know jeans and a nice button-up shirt.

What's the occasion?

Apparently SG1 has just returned from a lengthy mission and the President wants to reward their hard work.

What do they do, exactly? And why are they called SG1?

No idea. Leo and the President have never mentioned it before, although last time they were here they met in the Situation Room, so it must be pretty high level stuff.

'Kay.
Sam nodded, turned and left CJ's office.

General Hammond waited until SG1 were seated before speaking.

President Bartlett has invited you all to dinner in the Residence this Saturday, including you Tealc. He's impressed with your recent mission and would like to show his gratitude by spending some time with you.

Who else will be there Sir, and what do they know about us?

Apparently it will just be the President and First Lady, and senior staff. Only the President and his Chief of Staff know about the SGC.
Daniel groaned as Colonel O'Neill rolled his eyes.

What's the matter Dr Jackson, Colonel O'Neill? I thought you enjoyed your time at the White House?

Sir, Daniel's just a little pissed that he has to speak to Toby Zeigler again. They got into a bit of a shouting match over the President's speech for the state dinner.

Well, the others will be there. I'm told the President has a love of Latin and would love to converse with you about it, probably in Latin.
Gen. Hammond had a flicker of a grin pass his face at his last comment. Sam giggled at Gen. Hammond's response.

No giggling, Carter.

Sorry Sir; Sam replied, trying to contain her amusement.

What attire will I be required to wear for such an occasion? Tealc asked.

Smart casual; I'm sure Colonel O'Neill and Dr. Jackson can help you there. You will need to wear a hat or beanie though.

He could wear his bandana that he got in 1969, Jack said with a smirk.
Sam and Daniel grinned at his remark.

There's a carrier plane flying to Washington on Saturday morning, which you will all be on. You'll need to catch a commercial flight back on Sunday, unless the President is flying out this way. Dismissed

Thank you Sir.
SG1 rose from their chairs and returned to their offices.

The days before Saturday night seemed to be flying by as C.J. tried to keep Zoe's friend's drugs story out of the media, Supreme Court nominee Mendoza was confirmed by the Senate and Josh met a nominee for assistant attorney general who believes in slavery reparations. Meanwhile, Sam fought with Mallory over private school vouchers and Mandy worked to get two new pandas for the National Zoo. By the time Saturday afternoon came around Sam was exhausted and Toby frustrated with Josh about using Mandy to play with him. Never-the-less, Saturday evening arrived.

The reference to what SG1 did while stuck on another planet is taken from a story that someone wrote and posted here on . I loved that story and thought it would be appropriate to mention it here.
