"Stargates, Dragons, and Amazons"
Ch. 7
Tris's POV
(Amazon Village, Night)
A huge bomb fire sat in the middle of the village. Placed around the huge fire, a long table circled around it, at least 2 ½ feet away. Filling the space in the middle of the fire and table, the Dragon Amazons danced energetically to vibrant music. After the ceremony, this included a showy display of putting on a mask that was extremely uncomfortable in front of everyone. Teal'c managed to arrive after the quick ceremony, but arrived just as the celebration began.
"Nice timing, Teal'c!" Jack said, once Teal'c sat down beside him.
"What did the General say, Teal'c?" Sam asked.
"All work and no play, Major?" Jack asked.
"Sometimes" she blushed
"General Hammond says we may stay another 24 hours. He also wishes to give the Amazons his deepest sympathies as well," Teal'c said.
"Sweat," Jack explained.
"All party and no work, Jack?" Daniel asked, grinning mischievously.
"Sometimes," he said, not meeting his or Sam's eyes.
Wearing an outfit that shown way too much skin, I made my way to sit with my friends. However, a fellow Amazon pulled me away.
"Dance with us princess!" she said.
"Oh, no thanks," I said, trying to get out it. "I don't dance,"
Dancing in front of the whole tribe and my friends was not on my agenda for tonight. I am going to be teased for this! However, no matter how much I fought, I had lost. I did my best to follow the other Amazons dance moves. Jack had better not say anything, I thought as I danced.
As I danced my way around the fire, I had managed to sneak down by my friends and finally sat with them.
"Not bad," Jack complimented with a big grin on his face.
Starving, I took a bunch of food that lay out in front of her and began to eat.
"Hungry?" Sam asked.
"Very," I said with my mouth full.
"I guess you would be after dancing like that," Daniel said.
I fumed at him. However, I could not stay mad at him for long. I loved him to much to get my red-hot temper in the way. Instead of getting mad and stomping off, I felt myself blush feverishly. I wonder if he feels the same way I do about him. I thought. Does he love me at all?
I shook the thought out of my. He just lost his wife over a year ago, I thought. Daniel is not ready to move on yet. Instead of thinking about the subject anymore, I joined her friends in watching the Amazons dance. It looks a lot easier than it seems, I then thought.
