5 After Avatar: Part two
'The Barbeque'
A/N: What kind of friends does Pete have? Lets use our dimensional shift timeline variance transducers to peek in on what is going on in the Stargate Realm.
Sam's House
Sam put her journal in her desk and locked it. She had been writing in her journal for over an hour while drinking a cup of tea. Whenever she drank tea, the experience made her think of a dear friend from college who would ask her to indulge in a cup now and then. Things were different back then for her. She had been so caught up in intellectual pursuits and the military that she felt like a large truck rummaging down the Mall in Washington, D.C.
She always felt like the truck would get close to the monument then burst forth with wings and carry her over the cares of the world. The trucks transformation to a lovely flying being would allow her to sore the very heavens and the increasing expanse of outer space. Sam remembered that general feeling of being trapped in a way and wanting to be liberated. And now she was free. She had her own place, great job exploring new planets, friends she can trust and her father back in her life.
Sam smiled as she peered out the window in her kitchen. Yes, it was a lovely day also. The sun was shining on children playing with a little puppy. The wind danced lightly in the trees and sang with the birds encased in the peace of the clouds. Sam walked out into her back yard and leaned against a tree. She closed her eyes and felt the sun on her face and the wind dancing in her hair. While picturing herself transformed into the flying being, she imagined herself over her house gliding up into the clouds of tranquility.
Sam was durst from her imagination as she heard her doorbell ringing. The door opened and in walked a feeling that tipped the balance in the clouds and with a thud her winged being landed back in reality.
"Hi, Pete. I'm almost ready, come on in." Sam walked to her bedroom to change her shirt.
Jack's House
Daniel and Teal'c showed up around 2 p.m. to pick Jack up for the barbeque. They knocked on his door for what must have been five minutes before the door opened.
Anise answered the door with a pair of very short jean shorts that were low cut anyway and a pink bra. Daniel glanced at her body and outfit then looked over her shoulder. He saw Jack walking into another room with only a pair of black pants on. Anise waved them to enter, and she started putting her shirt on.
Jack walked into the room just when she started to button the only three buttons on her pink shirt that barely covered the Victorian Secret satin bra. Jack was tugging down a t-shirt then swatted her on the rear. "Hey, guys. Thanks for coming to get us, but we could have drove out ourselves."
Teal'c raided an eyebrow as he seen that he was also wearing a t-shirt. "We wanted to make sure you did not get lost on the way, since you were never given the driving directions or address."
"Oh, yea there's that." Jack went back to the kitchen to get the apple pies he and Anise had made the day before. "Ok, ready."
Bubo's House (the friend of Pete)
Pete and Samantha showed up just after 2 p.m. with potato salad for the potluck cook out. Sam smiled and followed Pete around as he introduced her to his friends in groups. Then she heard a loud yell as a tall slender man bounded off the porch. "Heyyyyson!"
Pete responded with a similar shout. "Whazuuuuuppp!"
"Absolutely nothing, the old lady is mad at me today cause I said a few of her snobby friends couldn't come over. And who is this little hotness over here?" Bubo tipped his head and inspected Sam's form. She had on low rider jeans with black boots and a baby blue tank top that showed off her athletically slender figure.
"This piece of hotness is Sam, my girlfriend. Sam this is Bubo. He has been a friend of mine since high school." Pete beamed and took a beer from Bubo.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." She held out her hand to shake his.
Bubo looked down at her hand and shook it while clasping the other around her shoulder. "Come on over, I want ya to meet the old lady." They took a few steps toward the house and a slender auburn haired woman about the age of 20 came out with hotdogs in a pan. "Hey, Dottie I want ya to meet Pete's new woman, Sam."
"Hi Sam."
"Hi Dottie. Do you need any help?" Sam offered.
"Yes, that would be great. I have more stuff to bring out for the grill." Dottie waved Sam to come into the house.
Bubo slapped Pete on the back hard enough for him to spill his beer. "Good woman ya got there Pete. She knows her place, in the kitchen."
Pete winced and remembered how his friend viewed life. "Uh, Sam is not the Betty Crocker type, but she is friendly and likes to help out when she can."
"Well, with an as like that, a guy can't complain." Bubo started laughing and another guy named Sandy joined in.
Sam stopped at the door at hearing how they were talking about her. Dottie seen the expression on her face and put her arm around her waist and ushered her into the house.
"Don't listen to those idiots out there. I'm more than ten years younger than Bubo, but I do believe about twice that amount smarter. So, Pete told me you work for the Air Force. Do you like it there?"
"Oh, yea it is always interesting studying the stars. Where do you work?" Sam took a pan of condiments off the white counter in a rather large kitchen she noticed.
"I'm a nurse at the hospital in town. I just got out of college, and Bubo had a friend who helped me get into the OR at the hospital. They have stuck me with another nurse, and I fear I have to follow him around for the next six months for orientation. So far, I like it very much." Dottie grabbed a plate of hamburger patties and walked with Sam to the door. "Oh, just ignore them. They have to act manly in front of each other and all that you know. I have to admit, you're nothing like Pete's ex."
With that comment, Dottie walked out making Sam wonder what that meant. She seen a truck pull up at the front of the house and blocked the single lane road. She turned to Dottie, "Is this road a private drive here on the hill?"
"No, the road circled around then back down the hill. You have to watch out for the biggest pothole in the road you ever seen when you leave. The truck that just pulled up is one of the neighbors. They block the road and even park in our parking areas. It gets annoying." Dottie glanced at the house next door.
Sam paused, "What happens when you have to leave?"
Dottie flipped her hair out of the way. "I have to rev the engine and honk the horn. You know they could park further down the hill or in that drive way they just put in a week ago. No, they have to block the road."
They set the things down and started back in the house. A red Ford truck blocked the road just in front of the truck. They were parked with the front bumpers almost touching. Sam thought it could be bearable but the power company blocked off the other side of the road at the bottom of the other hill. Dottie told her that the power line fell and they were putting in a new one.
About ten minutes later, they left and Dottie asked Sandy to go out and get more chips and pop. As Sandy was walking to his truck, there was an old Dodge pick up truck that pulled up and blocked the road again. Sandy walked down the hill as he seen the two guys that were in the other truck walk up the hill on the other side of the fence. He got into his truck and pulled up to the Dodge. He reved his engine and the guys just turned and looked at him.
Bubo yelled, "Hey, man. Move your truck out of the way."
They neighbor's friend yelled back, "Just back down the other side of the hill."
That was when Dottie yelled out the front door. "Hey, the other side is blocked by the state trucks."
The guy stomped down the hill and moved his truck to the driveway of the house he was at. Sandy then drove down the hill and off to the store cursing the teenagers who finally let him go.
Dottie and Sam joined the group again. The guys were talking about times when they were in the National Guard. Apparently, the guy named Rodic had a wife that had been a Marine at one point before they got married.
Rodic said, "Yea, the old lady was a Marine and I was a National Guard when we met. After we got married she found her true place." He paused and then all the guys except for Pete chimed in. "In the Kitchen."
