Sg1 walked into a huge hall. Leioma had called everyone in the village together for a huge dinner and then a Hasiigo, or what had been described to Sg1 as a dance. The huge hall had been decorated for the occasion, the hall was made of great wooden panels. Thick wooden beams separated the panels from one another; they were carved in beautiful intricate designs. A long table stretched from one end of the hall right to the other. There were no chairs, the table was low and everyone sat with their legs folded, something Jack was sure he was going to have a lot of trouble with.
Everyone had changed from their drab sandy outfits into outfits similar to those that Leioma and the other 4 had been wearing earlier. The hall was filled with laughing. No one was eating yet, they were all waiting for Sg1 Jack supposed. They saw 9 empty places near the head of the table, presumably for them and the 5 that had net them at the gate earlier. O'Neill made a move to go and sit.
"Not yet." Said Leioma in his ear.
"Oh, right sorry." Said Jack feeling slightly embarrassed. Leioma smiled.
"Do you have any other clothing that would be more suitable for the evening meal and the dance to follow?" she asked them, directing her question at Jack knowing he was the leader of their group.
"Umm.we have some green fatigues." He suggested. Carter gave him a bored look, she turned to Leioma.
"No, sorry this is all we have." She said. Leioma smiled.
"I thought that may be the case, never mind, we have prepared for this." She said. Jack raised his eyebrows at Sam in a worried look. She half smiled back, but also felt the stab of worry hit her gut. They weren't going to make them dress up were they? Of course they were, what was she thinking!
"Please come this way." Said a small girl, she seemed to be about 13. She lead Sam away from the three men. O'Neill grinned at her mockingly. She looked back at him, begging him to help her with her eyes. He just kept on laughing.
"And will you please follow me?" asked Sadrey.
"You?!" Jack exclaimed.
"Yes, me" Sadrey said laughing, "Will you please follow me?" Jack looked desperately around for help, when none came running he surrendered and followed the boy. Teal'c and followed after some gentle prompting from Leioma.
Sam emerged from behind the curtain she had been instructed to change behind. A mirror had been placed before her so she could "admire" herself. Sam was dressed in a beautiful halter neck top, the top was made of a silk like cotton fabric that seemed to be able to change colour in all the right places to make the shirt look amazing. It was a beautiful pink and red colour. The top cut just below her belly button, attached to the delicate straps were sleeves made of a very fine mesh that had a tint of pink in its colour.
She wore a long skirt that hung from low on her hips and reached the floor. It swayed elegantly as she moved. The skirt was made of different fabric, it was a deep red, and was made of normal light cotton.
Small delicate sandals were placed on her feet, her hair was changed from its flat military look and turned into a beautiful, feminine style that made her eyes stand out. She had been sprayed in a sweet smelling perfume, it reminded her a little bit of daisies.
She glanced at herself in the mirror and had to admit that it was a nice change from huge, heavy fatigues and clompy, heavy combat boots. She smiled, laughed at the thought of what the guys were going to say and followed the girl outside. She thanked the young girl and scanned the room for the rest of Sg1. They were nowhere to be seen, she laughed aloud when she realised they were probably dragged off to be changed after she was.
Jack glared at his reflection. He looked ridiculous! He was dressed in satiny silky pants, they were a bluey, purpley colour. They were reasonably tight, and hugged him in all the places he did not feel comfortable being hugged in. The pants, like those that the 2 men outside had worn only reached to just below his knees. He had a pair of light jandals on his feet.
His shirt, there was no shirt. The top of his pants had a hideous belt on them that stopped about 2 inches below his belly button.
He had a silky scarf warped around his head, it was about an inch wide and wrapped around like headband.
He had been "sponged down" by two of the women that had been in the crowd behind Leioma and her friends.then he had been sprayed with this dainty smelling perfume. So here was Jack dressed in tight, bare all pants and smelling like a woman.
Teal'c and Jonas of course were going through exactly the same ordeal as Jack, but neither of them seemed to have half as much of a problem with it!
O'Neill sighed, and moved over to where Jonas and Teal'c were standing. Neither looked all that impressed but on seeing Jack all "decked up" they soon forgot they too were dressed like idiots and headed out to find Sam.
The three men stepped back out into the hall, Teal'c stood in the doorway they had just came through, hands behind his back, head held high. Jonas was subtly hiding behind Teal'c, managing to hide himself from view. O'Neill stood uncomfortably in front of two of them, searching the room with his eyes for Carter.
Alas, she saw him first. She came up next to them three of them with none of them having noticed.
"Wow, you guys look....interesting." she said laughing. Jack jumped, and turned to her giving her the biggest "evils" look he could muster. But his glare was quickly washed away when he saw her. She looked absolutely beautiful!
"Thanks Carter..."he said, in the most sarcastic tone he could manage. Then he laughed. "Well, we may look like idiots but you look great." He said softly. She beamed up at him.
"Really? Thank you sir, you three look rather dashing yourselves." she said grinning before turning and heading towards the table. The three men watched as she sat down and started chatting away with some of the locals.
"Guess that's our cue then." O'Neill said, following her.
Teal'c nodded his agreement and began to walk in the direction O'Neill had headed in. Jonas edged along behind Teal'c. trying his best to stay hidden. His plan didn't work, he had been spotted. A group of about 5 girls came rushing up to show him to his seat. Teal'c took the hint and left him be with his fans. Jonas wasn't impressed by this, Teal'c could feel the daggers Jonas was sending at him with his eyes on his neck. He turned to see Jonas smiling awkwardly as the girls swooned and fussed making sure he was completely comfortable. Teal'c managed a grin and shaking his head took his seat next to Jack.
Everyone chittered and chatted for about half an hour. A loud bell was hit and everyone suddenly fell silent. Jack glanced up looking slightly dazed and watched as Leioma stood to talk. All eyes were on her.
"People, fellow Pelacheans, we are here today to welcome Colonel. O'Neill, Major. Carter, Teal'c and Jonas to our village. I'm sure you will have all seen them today. Their presence comes as a surprise to us, but a welcome one." She said smiling over at Jack. "It has been many generations since visitors have come through the ring and we are honoured to be harbouring such guests. Welcome." she said, rasing a goblet of what Jack presumed to be some type of alcohol " to Pelach, may your stay be highly enjoyable!" she took a sip of her drink, Sg1 and the rest of the crowd followed suit with the goblet of liquid that had been placed in front of them. "Oh, and I would like to say that you all look lovely in your change of clothes!" she said smiling, everyone laughed, even Teal'c and they all once again took a sip of their drinks.
Once Leioma had sat down 12 huge plates of food were brought out. They were placed evenly along the table and everyone started to eat. Sg1 glanced around, Leioma smiled at them and they figured it was time for them also to start eating.
The meal lasted a good hour before the conversation really started to pick up. After lots of small talk and rattle about clothing and the Stargate O'Neill felt it was time to let his curiosity get the better of him.
"Leioma." he said, getting her attention instantly.
"Yes colonel?" she asked surprised, Jack had barely spoken a word all evening, just sat stuffing his face and listening.
"Well, I was just curious, how old are you folks anyway?" he asked, getting an odd look from Carter. Leioma smiled.
"I'll presume you mean us as individuals and not as a race?" she asked him.
"Yea." Replied Jack shortly.
"We must appear very young to you, but in your years I believe we are very old to you." She said, Jack looked at her blankly, expecting a little more of an answer. She picked up on this and continued. "During my conversations with Sam, I have worked out that I, in your years are approximately 400 years old." Jack looked at her dumbfounded.
"4..400??? You all look 20!" he said, surprised and quite honestly annoyed that he looked twice their age if not three times their age and still hadn't even live a quarter of what they had.
"Yes, we as a race age a lot slower than you humans." She said patiently. Jack looked at Sam looking offended, She laughed. Then in realisation said;
"You said that no one has arrived through the Stargate for generations.." Presuming she was going somewhere with this Jack let her continue. "Even if it were just 2 generations that's about 1000 years ago!" she said looking amazed, Jack quite frankly couldn't really care less. 'I mean woohoo.' He thought 'we've met like a million races that are way older than us!' Leioma laughed, she looked at Jack, laughed again and then turned to Sam.
"Actually it's been a lot longer than that. These stories of the ring igniting and people appearing through it have been passed down for a lot more than 2 generations. It's probably closer to 20 generations, quite possibly more." Sam looked amazed, she looked at jack expecting a board pout to be on his face but found a look of confusion, sure that's not strange for O'Neill but even still, she thought it quite odd. Jack would only be confused if he was listening, and he never listens to anything she says, 'I wonder what he's confused about.' she thought to herself.
"Are you alright Colonel?" asked Leioma.
"Huh?" replied Jack.
"Oh, it's just, you look a little lost, confused even." She said looking directly at Sam. Jack watched as Sam's eyebrows pushed together in confusion, causing a little furrow to form in her brow.
"Strange." she said, but was interrupted mid-thought by Jonas.
"Umm.I think this party thing is 'sposed to start soon.." He said, bright red with two of the girls he had been sitting with pretty much draping over his shoulders.
"Yea..umm.should we be heading off?" Jack asked Leioma.
"Yes, of course the Hasiigo! We've been sitting here for rather a long time, I wouldn't be surprised if it had started without us!" she said smiling as she raised herself from her seat.
"Was this dance not designed for us?" asked Teal'c.
"Yes, but the dancing will have started already. They will be waiting for their guests of honour however, so we best be off." She said ushering them out the door. Jack grabbed Sam's arm, the soft see through silk slipped lightly under his fingertips, he coughed softly then said.
"Hey can I have a word?"
"Sure." She said stepping back into the hall away from the door. "What is it?"
"I dunno.I'm just getting this weird feeling from Leioma." He said standing close to her so as not to be overheard by others still in the hall.
"Weird feeling sir?" she asked.
"Yea, I dunno.it's just some of the things she said. Kind of like she knew what I was thinking." He said, his eyes narrowing in concentration, trying to remember what it was she had said.
"Actually I noticed that too." Said Sam not having realised it before.
"Lets just keep an eye on her aye?" he said. He then offered her his arm. She laughed and slipped hers into his. They walked out into the party arm in arm in search of what had happened to Teal'c and Jonas.
