Okay so maybe a few of you were expecting Daniel to fall for Vala. But thanks to your wonderful reviews here's chapter two!
Disclaimer: I still don't own it, but I have a plan, oh yeah, a Wylie Coyote Style Plan, heh just kidding.
Mangled Beauty
Daniel and Vala made it back to Daniel's apartment around 11. Cassie hadn't seen Daniel in a long time and wanted to talk to Vala so she begged Sam and Jack to invite them to dinner. Cassie and Vala had hit it off right away and spent the whole time talking while the former members of SG-1 got caught up.
Vala leaned against the wall while Daniel unlocked the door to his apartment. He pushed the door open and went in.
"Well this is small," said Vala after Daniel turned the lights on.
She tossed the bag of clothes Cassie had given her on the couch and flopped down next to it. She picked up the remote and was examining it when someone knocked on the door.
Daniel rushed over before Vala could get to it. He opened it revealing a skinny blonde girl with a mini skirt and a top that left little to the imagination.
"Daniel, you're back, I've missed you so much," squealed the blonde.
"Yeah, well I've been busy at work, you know my job requires me to travel a lot Christi," said Daniel.
"Well, you're here now, so lets go get a drink," said Christi.
"Uh, well, hold on a second," said Daniel.
He shut the door and walked over to Vala. He pulled the remote out of her hands and tossed it in a chair.
"Vala, do you think, that possibly I could leave you here alone for half an hour while I go out with Christi," asked Daniel.
"But I want to go out too, I'm so bored Daniel, and if you leave me cooped up for too long I might have to go steal things," said Vala.
"Fine, you can come, but there are rules, okay," said Daniel. "Number One, you can not, under any circumstances, mention the Stargate or anything even remotely connected with it. Two, you will not bother me and Christi unless it is an absolute emergency, and three, please don't steal things and get us in any more trouble, which you have a tendency to attract."
"Alright, am I in prison or your house," said Vala sarcastically.
"Okay, are you ready to go," asked Daniel.
"No, I have to change my shirt," said Vala.
She then proceeded to pull her shirt off and toss it at Daniel after swinging it around her head a few times.
"Vala, put a shirt on, Christi is right outside, she'll never go out with me if she finds you in my apartment like this," said Daniel.
"Fine," said Vala as she pulled on a pale blue tank top.
It matched perfectly with her eyes. Daniel was staring at her and Vala knew it. She walked seductively over to Daniel and whispered in his ear, "Christi is waiting Danny Boy."
Daniel looked at her and mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like, "at least it wasn't Space Monkey." He opened the door to find Christi leaning against the doorframe.
"Finally, I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to come back, oh hi," she said as she noticed Vala.
"Oh, Christi this is my, my…" mumbled Daniel.
"Hi, I'm his sister Vala," said Vala as she stepped past Daniel.
"Yes, my sister, she'll be riding with us, but she's going to pretend like she doesn't know us once we get to the bar," said Daniel, "isn't that right Vala?"
"Yes of course dear brother, I wouldn't want to ruin your evening," said Vala as she headed down the hallway.
"You're sister seems like an, um, interesting person," said Christi as she wrapped her arm around Daniel's waist just as Vala had done earlier.
For some reason Daniel couldn't stop thinking about Vala the entire ride to the bar. She was sitting in the back seat looking at all the lights and buildings. Sometimes Daniel caught himself wondering what Vala could have gone through to make her the way she was. He didn't believe people were just born to steal and cheat people.
They arrived at the bar in record time and the three went inside. Daniel and Christi headed off to find a table and Vala was walking towards some young guys playing pool.
"So, where does your sister live," asked Christi.
"Oh, she lives in Denver, but her apartment is being fumigated so she asked if she could stay at my apartment," said Daniel.
"And you're just so sweet you couldn't turn her down," said Christi, but Daniel didn't hear a word she said for the next few minutes.
One of the guys was "teaching" Vala how to play pool, but Daniel had a sneaking suspicion this was going to end up like the time some guys challenged Sam to a game of pool. Excluding the fact they were wearing those magic armband things.
Sure enough a few minutes later Vala was collecting a large pile of money.
"Are you sure you've never played pool before," asked one of the guys.
"Absolutely, they don't even have pool where I'm from," said Vala as she counted the money.
"And where exactly do you come from, 'cause that accent is incredibly sexy," said another guy.
"Ah, it's a tiny village, far far away from here, you wouldn't have heard of it," said Vala, "well I must go buy myself a drink."
"No, ma'am, after you schooled them boys in pool it's the least I can do to buy you a drink," said a man with a thick Texan accent.
"Why thank you," said Vala sexily as she winked at Daniel, who was still watching her.
"Daniel, are you listening to me," asked Christi.
"Oh, yeah of course I am," lied Daniel.
Luckily he was save by his cell phone ringing. He talked for a few seconds before hanging up.
"Uh, Christi, I'm really sorry, but I have to go, that was work," said Daniel.
"It's fine, go save the world, or whatever it is you really do, Mr. Top Secret," said Christi.
Daniel nodded and rushed over to get Vala. She was talking to a guy with a cheesy mustache and cowboy boots.
"Vala, come on we have to go," said Daniel as he pulled her off her bar stool.
"But I'm having fun," whined Vala.
"I don't care, we have to go," said Daniel as he drug her towards the door.
"Hey, partner, I think the lady wants to stay here," said the Mustache.
"Well she's coming with me, or she's DEAD," said Daniel. He emphasized the last part directly to Vala.
"Was that a threat, 'cause I don't take kindly to men who threaten women," said la Mustache.
"No, Bill, it's okay, he's rough, but I love him," said Vala as wrapped her arms around Daniel's neck.
Daniel looked at Bill then rush out to his car. Vala followed him at a leisurely pace.
"So where exactly are we going in such a rush," asked Vala.
"Cheyenne Mountain, someone came through the 'Gate and they claim to know you," said Daniel.
"Oh," said Vala.
They sat in silence for the rest of the trip. Vala seemed to be pondering who it could be. And Daniel was concentrating unusually hard on the road ahead of him.
They arrived at Cheyenne Mountain and were taken to a holding room where they me Col. Mitchell and Gen. Landry.
"So who's in there," asked Vala.
"A girl who claims to be your sister," said Col. Mitchell
"My sister, are you sure," asked Vala.
"That's what she says," started Gen. Landry but Vala was already opening the door.
"Ah, my darling sister…" said Vala
