Flames
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was safe to say Jack was becoming more and more relaxed as the evening passed, possibly due to the large amounts of alcohol he was consuming, so when his name was finally called he was up for the challenge, if but for a moment before he stumbled over a chair. Thankfully Tealc was on hand to save him the embarassment sprawling over the floor, and he was spared a snigger. Instead most people cheered and eventually he managed to push his way through the crowd, cursing each chair and table as he went.
Sam looked uncertainly at Janet who returned the look.
"Want to go hide in the restrroms now or.....?"
"Oh yeah, I can imagine the headache I'd get for not sticking where I am and watching"
"How about we order really tall glasses"
"Of heavy alcohol"
"Just wait till Jack gets back here and I tell him his girlfriend wanted the earth to swallow her up rather than listen and see him make an ass of himself."
"You wouldn't dare Daniel"
Daniel returned her challenge with a smile before turning to the stage.
"Who would want to miss this. I wish I had a video camera, this would go down so well at the base"
Sam dug Daniel in the back with a finger before turning her attention back to the stage and watched as Jack managed to step up onto the stage, running a hand through his hair,then over his face.
"Suck it up O'Neill" muttered Daniel.Sam leaned over to Daniel's ear.
"I hope you realise Daniel, if he goes through with this, you have to follow suite."
"I'm well aware of that Sam. Tell me what's it like dating the worlds biggest clown"
"At least he stepped up to the plate on the dating game as well. How long has your flame been burning for a certain doctor?"
"At least half the time of your's and Jack's"
"Are we going to have to put the both of you at opposite ends of the room?" interjected Janet, leaning over the table.
Sam and Daniel looked up at Janet and smiled.
"Just a little bit of friendly banter Janet"
"Well save it till after the show, your getting serious dagger looks from Jack. He's about to start"
Sam sat back and turned her full attention to the stage, where Jack held the microphone and grinned his childish grin her way. Sam grinned back, and heard a chuckle coming from across the table. She shot Janet a look.
"What?"
"Nothing, just cute how he manages to turn you into butter"
Sam was about to retaliate but instead grinned as the music started up. It was safe to say if anything Jack was going to be entertaining. Sam really wasn't surprised at the choice of song.
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain//Too much love drives a man insane//You broke my will, but what a thrill//Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
I laughed at love 'cause i thought it was funny//You came along and moved me honey//I've changed my mind, your love is fine//Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
The crowd around the stage went stir crazy, people were cheering, gyrating, whooping. Jack's singing was something to be desired but his boyish charm seemed to come out on stage and the crowd was definetely picking up on it.
Sam shot first Daniel a 'beat that' type of look before shooting Janet a grin. Janet bowed her head in agreement as the crowd went even wilder.
I chew my nails and i twiddle my thumbs//I'm really nervous, but it sure is fun//Come on baby, drive my crazy//Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!
Kiss me baby, woo feels good//Hold me baby, wellllll//I want to love you like a lover should Your fine, so kind//I want to tell the world that your mine mine mine mine
Sam was tapping her feet and smiling as some women were practically throwing themselves at the stgae baring near all and Jack's eyes missed it all as they pierced into hers. She suddenly felt too warm under his gaze. Yup flames were definetely burning. The crowd had now joined in with the song and the added acompiament of voices seemed to somehow, and Sam couldnt think how, make Jack sound quite good.
As the song finished and the crowd erupted. Jack stood onstage and gave more than a few bows, grinning his boysih grin and shot a smug 'your next' look to Daniel. He stepped down the stairs and was engulfed by the crowd, Sam lost sight of him for a moment and then caught sight of him again as he headed away from them being pushed on by the crowd and she was sure she spied a few women straying hands pinching him as he passed. Standing she excused herself from her friends. Janet stood as she rounded the table to pass by them and whispered in her ear.
"Don't be too long Sam, you two may miss Daniel's performance"
"We two?"
"Oh please, I saw the hand signals. Cute by the way real cute"
"Janet!"
Her friend smiled, and pushed her on her way.
Janet turned to Daniel and Tealc.
"I'm going to check up on Cassie and grab some drinks from the bar. You guys want anything?"
"I am fine Janet, thankyou."
"I'll have Martini dry please"
Janet made her way towards the bar, Cassie gave her a wave and a quick thumbs up as Chris stood. She whispered in his ear before beelining her way to her mother at the bar.
"Hey Cass, having fun?"
"Oh yeah, this is the best birthday ever. Chris just asked me to dance"
"Ok sweetie. Have a good time"
"Jack was so cool up there"
"The crowd certainly enjoyed it"
Cassandra smiled and pinched her mother softly on the arm before turning to the young man standing waiting for her. Janet collected the two drinks and headed back to the table.

So sorry it been so long since updates but my computer has been ill and had to go in for an overhaul. So I thankfully had the laptop to type on and I managed to grab a few hours on a friends computer to check emails but unfourtuantely much more than that has been kinda when Ive had the time and their computer has been free. I managed to upload a chapter onto 'The writers' while I had a bit of time. But I'm back on track thankfully, although stuff on my big computer was lost, (thank goodness for backups). Thanks for reviews from any stories you've reviewd for me, I've been very lax in sending personal replies but that is because of the lack of time I had with using other peoples computers.
And lastly, I'm going to be starting another 'Blues' story soon and I was hoping you could help me. If you email me at stargater22@msn.com , I will let you know what help I'm after.
