"Stargates, Dragons, and Amazons"

Ch. 7

Daniel's POV

(Amazon Village, Night)

A huge bomb fire sat in the middle of the village. At least 2 ½ feet away the long table placed all around it. The space in the middle of the fire and table filled with the Dragon Amazons dancing to vibrant music and dancing just as energetic. After the ceremony, this included a showy display of putting a mask on, 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?" I asked, grinning mischievously.

"Sometimes," he said, not meeting Sam's eyes or mine.

I noticed Tris making her way to sit with them. The Amazons had pushed her to wear an outfit that shown a lot of skin. She looked extremely sexy in it. A fellow Amazon, however, pulled her away. Was she dancing? Now this was a side to her he had never seen before. As Tris danced her way around the fire, she managed to sneak down by her friends and finally sat with them.

"Not bad," Jack complimented with a big grin on his face.

Tris reached in front of her for some food and ate hungrily.

"Hungry?" Sam asked.

"Very," she said with her mouth full.

"I guess you would be after dancing like that," I said. That was a stupid thing to say, Danny! I thought. She probably was embarrassed for dancing in front of everyone here! I noticed that she blushed. Wait, did she just blush at something that I said? She has never done that before.

I turned my attention over to the Amazon dancers. However, my attention was still on Trisana. She is beautiful though. In addition, she is also smart, funny, gentle, and willing to risk her own life to save another. Not bad qualities, I thought. Just a wild guess, but I think I am in love with Tris. Then I started thinking, Hold on, there Danny! You do not even know she has those kinds of feelings about you.

What about Sha'are, though? I thought. What about her, another voice asked. She died over a year ago. She told you not so long ago to move on and told you it is all right if you found another. Oh . . . Yeah, I thought. I turned my attention back to the Amazon Dancers.
