"You're not wearing that out." Jack said as he saw what his wife had on.

"Jack, you really don't have any say in what I wear. I'm an adult I can wear what I like."

"You're still not wearing that out of the house." He crossed his arms adamant in his resolve.

"Yes I am." She grabbed her jacket and purse as the doorbell rang. "I'll get that on my way out."

"Sam."

"Bye Jack." She kissed his cheek and went and opened the door. "Hi Dad."

"Hi Sammie." He looked over her strappy black heels, her tight black skirt which fell to just above mid thigh and her red halter neck top which cut low at the front and even lower at the back. "You look nice."

"Thanks Dad. But apparently my substitute father doesn't think so, so just make sure he doesn't have a heart attack."

"Will do. By the way there is a woman in an equal short skirt waiting by a cab at the end of the drive I told her I would tell you she was here. I think she said her name was Marianne and something about short skirt night."

"That would be my ride. Bye Dad." She kissed his cheek before leaving. Jacob closed the door behind him.

"You let her leave like that?" Jack asked.

"Yes," Jacob replied.

"Did you see what she was wearing?" He exclaimed.

"Yes. Jack, I had to realise how much I wanted to think of her as still my little girl, she saves the world for a living. She's all grown up, which means she gets to wear what she likes despite how I feel about it. Besides it's not like I have to worry about marrying some guy when she's drunk." Jake winked at him. "They're all Air Force Officers I'm pretty sure they can take care of themselves and anyone who hits on them."

"She still shouldn't go out dressed like that and if Marianne and Janet are the same I think we need to go and keep an eye on them."

"Jack they are adults let them have a night out."

"I'm holding you responsible." Jack said. "Beer?"

"Sure. By the way you'll love the dress she picked out."

"What does it look like?" Jack asked.

"That would be a secret. But don't plan anything three weeks today. Ever wanted to get married at the academy?"

"You're serious?"

"Yeah."

"Sweet."

"Okay, ladies who wants to lay the first bet?" Sam asked the first round of drinks.

"On what?" Marianne asked.

"On which of the men we know will be the first through the door deciding that we need our virtue defended."

"Sam I don't think..." Janet started.

"Janet, Jack practically banned me from leaving the house dressed like this. I had to leave him with my Dad. Marianne I'm betting Colonel Hudson just happened to drop by before you left."

"Yeah. He wanted to see if my plans had fallen through." Marianne replied.

"And he wasn't too happy out the outfit?" Sam asked.

"He liked the outfit he just didn't think I should wear it out in public without some stood next to me with a zat."

"Anyone else have interesting conversations with members of the base?" Sam inquired.

"Major Hillman." Captain Allison 'Ally' Mason replied. "He wondered if we would need close protection."

"Captain Bobbit." Lieutenant Claire Kent added. "He tried to invite himself along but I told him with great respect that he didn't have the legs to pull of a short enough skirt so he couldn't come along."

"Major Windslow wanted to know where I was going and why the rest of the team weren't invited." Captain Jenna Norton admitted.

"See." Sam said. "You all take your team mate. Ten bucks anti."

"What about me?" Janet said.

"Oh you can have Daniel and Teal'c. They won't come one without the other." They all agreed they were in. "Martin shots all round." Sam called.

"Coming up Sam." Martin called back.

"Then ladies lets play some pool."
