Jack looked behind him in despair as Lt. Mary Cliver, his new 2IC, brushed her hair using a small pocket mirror, and was even more despaired when Nathan produced a mirror and comb and began to do the same thing. Those two made Jonas look normal.
"Colonel," said Jonas, "I thought..."
"I know, Jonas," said Jack, "Just try to ignore them. They're not normal."
Mary and Nathan put away their mirrors and accessories and stepped up to meet Colonel O'Neill, Jonas and Teal'c.
"Have to look good to meet the Tok'ra, sir," Mary drawled.
"Yes, I am looking forwards to meeting them," said Nathan, casting one last look into his mirror.
"Gotta go through this first," Jack grinned, pointing to the Stargate. Mary swallowed, but Nathan boldly stepped up.
"I'll go first, Colonel. It can't be that hard."
"After you, Nathan," said Jack, standing aside and letting the young man pass. He stepped through.
"Mary, you're up next."
"Colonel, it is appropriate to refer to someone by their rank, not their first name. You should call me Lieutennant Cliver, not Mary."
Jack grinned again as he remembered Sam telling him almost exactly the same thing, except there was no threat of an arm-wrestle from Mary.
Jack gently gave Lt. Cliver a push through the gate and instructed Jonas and Teal'c to follow her. He would go through last, giving him less time with his two irritating new team members.
**********
Jack reached the other side of the gate to the sound of retching. He smirked as he realised the cocky Lt. Braun was being sick. He felt a warm breeze pass by his shoulder.
"Uh..God..." said Nathan, wiping his mouth with the back of his sleeve.
"It may interest you to know that the arrogant astrophysicist Major Carter was not physically sick on her first journey through the gate," said Teal'c, enjoying himself immensely. Jack grinned at Teal'c, thankful that he had told his friend of Sam's first gate experience, annoyed though she had been.
"She wouldn't!" said Mary, "Perfect Miss Carter, can't put a foot wrong!"
"Excuse me," said a familiar voice, "But that's my daughter you're talking about!"
Jack, Teal'c and Jonas turned around to greet Jacob.
"Been a while," said Jacob, shaking Jack's hand. "Who are they?"
"Don't ask," said Jack, but Nathan took the liberty of introducing himself.
"I'm Nathan Braun, SG-1's new scientist, and this is Mary Cliver, SG-1's new archaeologist."
"Hi. I'm Jacob Carter, and..." there was a pause.
"I am Selmak."
Jack watched the reaction of his two new team members with glee.
"Hey Selmak, how've you been?" he asked.
"Very well, Colonel."
"Oh my God!" said Mary, "Is that a....a....Goa'uld?"
Selmak got a little shirty at that comment.
"I am NOT a Goa'uld! I am a Tok'ra!"
"Snake's a snake," said Nathan, turning around with his hands in his pockets.
Jack gave Selmak a warning glance and they turned around, walking towards the Tok'ra base.
"So, Lieutennant, I heard your opinion of my daughter. How is it that you know her so well?"
"We went to high school together," said Mary.
"Ah. Are you the girl that used to shut her in a locker and leave her there? You were a cheerleader?"
Dammit, dad, why'd you have to mention that in front of Jack?
Jack snorted. "It'd have to be a big locker," he joked, then remembered something.
For no apparent reason, Jack tripped and fell on his face in the sand.
Good one, Sam.
He asked for it.
Better not make a habit of it though, he's got his hands full.
True.
"Sorry, Sam," he murmured.
Sorry.
"Yes, I was a cheerleader. She told me if my skirt was any further up my ass it would be a belt."
Jack, Jacob and Jonas snorted with laughter at this comment, though Teal'c didn't quite understand. Mary, however, was quite serious.
"Oh, that's my girl," said Jacob, still laughing.
You did?
It was true.
I was scared of cheerleaders in high school. They were horrible.
"Yes, well, she's gone now," said Nathan.
Jacob was greatly angered by that comment, but Jack gave him a warning glance. Just seconds after his comment, Nathan fell flat on his face in the sand. Then, a sudden puff of wind blew sand into his hair and matted it.
Good one, Daniel!
Thanks. He had it coming, mind. He's getting on my nerves, so God knows what it's doing to Jack!
Tell me about it.
"Colonel, do you get the feeling we're not alone here?" asked Lt. Cliver, as a cold wind blew past her.
"Of course I do, Lieutennant. Jacob and Selmak are with us!"
"I didn't mean that, Colonel."
"Oh, I dunno. We seem to be alone, don't we, Teal'c?"
"We do, O'Neill."
"I just feel like there's someone else here," said Mary.
Jack looked at Jacob, and they both shook their heads.
"Nope."
Sam and Daniel grinned.
