"Come in." Sam said as she opened the door the next morning. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah, when I finally kicked Daniel out at one a.m. I had some very interesting dreams involving you, me and a strawberry cheesecake." He held out the box to her.
"We'll leave that until later. Let me grab my jacket and purse and we'll head out." She was dressed in jeans, a tight pale blue top and a pair of sneakers.
"I thought you wanted to paint your living room."
"I do and that involves buying paint. I'm thinking a sandy yellow, but I need to buy something else before we go to the hardware store and I'd like your opinion."
"Okay."

"You brought me dress shopping? I'd rather fight the Goa'uld." He whispered in her ear.
"Behave yourself. It was your idea that I come to the wedding, by the way the General will let me have the day off. Besides I know what I'm looking for I came shopping with Cass one weekend about a month ago and I saw this great dress but as I didn't have anywhere to wear it I didn't buy it. I just want your opinion on whether you think that it or if it's suitable for Sara's wedding."
"Okay." He conceded.
"Good, take a seat while I go and try on a couple of dresses." Sam suggested as she pointed out a chair near the dressing room. Jack nodded. "You might want this." She took his Game Boy out of his bag.
"Thank you." Sam went and grabbed a few dresses and headed to the dressing room.
A few minutes later she came out dressed in an ugly dress in a shade of green that didn't suit her at all.
"So what do you think?" She asked him as a test. He looked at her and tried to think of something diplomatic to say.
"Honestly?" She nodded. "Stick to kaki if you have to wear green, it's not a good colour for you."
"You passed." She said with a smile.
"It was a test?" Jack questioned.
"You really think I would wear something like this anywhere. It's worse than the dress that the Shavaddi made me wear. Now at least I know you can be honest. I'll just be another few minutes." She walked back into the dressing room and changed into the dress she liked.
"WOW!!!" Jack said as Sam stepped out in a spaghetti strapped sea-blue dress, which fell to just above her knees.
"You like?" Sam asked as she span around.
"Definitely."
"Good, me too. There's a matching jacket so it'll be great for the church as well as the reception. I just need to grab a pair of shoes, they're in the next store."

"I can't believe you bought an Egyptian hieroglyph border." Jack said as he carried the bags through the front door.
"Daniel's enthusiasm is catching. My ancient Egyptian isn't that good so I can't tell you if it means anything but Daniel could."
"We'll be sure to ask him tomorrow." Jack said sarcastically.
"Why wait? I'll just scan a section and e-mail it to him it'll take ten minutes and I'll know if I'm saying something that will offend someone." Sam took a roll out of the bag and headed towards her office.
"If Daniel is the only one who stops by who can read it, who cares?"
"I do. Besides Dad can read Egyptian too." She turned on the computer and scanner, and began the scanning process, before picking up the phone and dialling Daniel's extension at the base.
"Daniel Jackson." Daniel answered.
"Hey Daniel it's Sam."
"Hey, I'm sorry about intruding on your dinner last night."
"It's fine, the reason I called. I'm redecorating my living room and I bought this Egyptian hieroglyph border and I don't want to offend anyone so I'm e-mail a copy to you. Do you think you can translate it for me? I don't want to put it up if it says something stupid." Sam explained.
"Sure. An Egyptian theme cool. If you need any help." He offered.
"Just the translation, besides the Colonel making sarcastic comments is enough for anyone."
"Okay. I'll translate it and get back to you. Bye."
"Bye Daniel and thanks."
