A/N: Hehe, and so it begins....

As the two middle aged women dragged her away, she was unsure what to think.

She was taken to one of the other buildings, which seemed to serve as a tailors and clothing shop. As they entered the room she looked around. It was magnificent. Everything was elegant, beaded and very very feminine.

"What is your name my dear?" one of them asked her

"Samantha." She said "But you can call me Sam."

"I am Hailee, and as you know that is Marina."

"What exactly are we doing in here?" Sam asked

"As we said, those clothes do not befit a woman of your age or beauty my dear." Hailee said

"The women here are used to having the finest of all things and you, as our guest, shall also be graced with these luxuries." Marina said

"I appreciate it, but it really isn't necessary." Sam said

"Perhaps not, but it our pleasure." Hailee said "No go behind that shade and remove what you have on."

Sam did as she was told and waited as the elder women went around the shop picking out different items. When they had finished, they brought them over to the shade and hung them there.

"There you are my dear." Hailee said "These shall do nicely"

Sam grabbed the clothes and put them on. It was certainly a contrast to what she was used to, and she was not entirely sure that, while on duty, it was appropriate. However, this was the culture to which they were now immersed and she had no choice. She had to admit, as she looked in the mirror, these…clothes (for lack of a better word) gave her a very feminine feel and a boost of confidence.

Stepping out from behind the shade, the two women gasped.

"My dear, you are perhaps the most beautiful thing we have seen in this village for many seasons." Hailee said

Sam blushed, not used to this kind of attention "Thanks"

"Come now my dear." Marina said "It is time for us to return to dining area, where you shall take your seat at my right side."

While the women left the table, Daniel turned to Jack, who was still smiling.

"What are you so happy about?" he asked

"Nothing." Jack said, feigning innocence

Teal'C raised his eyebrow at him

"Carter is gunna HATE this." Jack said with a laugh

"Why?" Daniel asked

"You should'a heard her when she was assigned to the team that came to get you from Abidos. She was almost out of line in her attitude, trying to get us all to think of her as just another officer instead of a woman." Jack said, unable to hide the smirk.

"Your Captian does not like to be seen as a woman?" Kelan asked in confusion

"No, it's not that." Daniel said "There are those, where we are from that still have a tendency to look down on women. They think they are not as capable as men, stuff like that. Captain Carter is a strong believer that woman can do anything men can do, and that they should be treated as equals."

"Then I fear you are correct Colonel." Kelan said "Captain Carter is not going to like this."

"Why not?" Daniel asked

"Here, the women are revered. They are the most precious thing in this village, and they are treated as such. Everything from their separate dining table, to their attire reflects their superiority and beauty." Kelan explained "Someone who is not used to such things may have a hard time adjusting."

A little over ten minutes later the large door behind the woman's table opened and three women stepped out and onto the little stage area. The team recognized the first two as the women that had taken Carter away. What they saw next caused them all to do a double take, and even then they were speechless.

Carter stepped out along with the other women, in the most ridiculously un-regulation outfit the Colonel had ever seen. Being only mere feet from the stage, SG1 had a very good view of the new Carter. On her head was a silver circlet embedded with many different jewels, and matching earrings hung from her ears. In place of the BDU's she had been wearing was quite possibly the sexiest thing they had ever seen.

She had on a hot pink strapless top that resembled that of a bikini, figure-eighting across her chest and a black wrap skirt that went just above the middle of her thigh. Jack was sure that in that outfit if she were to bend even in the slightest, they would see a whole lot more then they bargained for. The skirt as well as the 'shirt' (and that term was used in the loosest way possible) were ordained with tiny sparkling jewels. She was also wearing a silver necklace with a line of jewels that connected it to a silver chain around her waist, accentuated by her belly button ring, that none of them knew she had, and a pair of no less than four inch silver heels.

"Is that.." Daniel began

"Indeed" Teal'C said

Jack had to admit, she looked damn good. The outfit or lack thereof, accentuated every aspect of her perfectly toned body and the colours played up her pale skin and blonde hair. Of course it was merely an observation of the change; after all he would never have sexual thoughts about his 2IC. Not even when she was dressed in such an incredibly inviting outfit. After all, it was against regs. Then again, what nobody knew couldn't hurt him.

Sam scanned the room. All eyes were on her, and she knew it. As she took in her surroundings she finally found what she as looking for. Colonel O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'C were among those who were staring at her, and she was becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Something the other women picked up on.

"Relax my dear; they are simply not used to seeing such beauty." Marina said, causing her to blush.

"Come, sit and eat" Hailee said motioning toward a chair "Try to ignore it, I know it can be very overwhelming when you are not used to it."

Carter turned her gaze once again to her team, whose eyes were still locked on her. Gave them a smirk and sat down, after all this was O'Neill's idea, and by the look on his face she guessed it was a surprise that she had actually gone along with it.
