for all of those who actually read this... here it is!

Suspicions aroused, Major Dunlop and Major Doyle, edged closer to the table near them, trying to over hearing the conversation that was going on. Using complicated "military tactics" and careful, accurate planning they stealthily moved from table to table, until they were just one seat away.

"Is it them?" Seanait asked.

Faolan snuck a peak, and had to suppress a giggling laugh, she nodded vigorously.

"REALLY! LET ME SEE!" Seanait nearly yelled, and Faolan instantly hushed her, while pushing her back into the seat.

Shhh…

Seanait laughed openly, hey it wasn't anything unusual people laughing in public, now was it. Still all the same, SG-1 stared at the two. Faolan gave an innocent little wave then pretended to look in the menu while hiding. At last the waitress came over.

"What can I get you tonight?"

"Steaks, and some coke if you please."

"Same here," Faolan piped up. "And a margarita, heavy on the tequila, if you please."

"That be all?"

"For now thank you." She walked away to send in the order.

"Faolan, what's up with the drinking?"

"Well, I figure we have to fly tomorrow right?"

"Right…" Seanait said not knowing where this was going.

"So why not, bottoms up!"

"Faolán!"

"Yea, what?"

"We have to fly tomorrow."

"I know, I just told you that," she said having a 'blonde moment.'

"So then why the hell are you drinking!"

"Why not?" Faolan's childish innocents, and naïve shown in her buoyant smile.

Seanait shook her head and mumbled, more to herself then to Faolan, "How'd you ever get through flight school…?"

Faolan replied anyway with an evil glint, and completely serious tone, "I slept with all the council members."

Seanait was so shocked she didn't have to think it through, "You what!"

Major Dunlop's face broke into a smile, "I'm just kidding," she laughed hysterically. "If you could have seen your own reflection…." she clenched her side, cramps forming. "You do realize that half the council is made up of women, right?"

Seanait was silent for a second, then joined in Faolan's laughing.

"I drink because I wanna, and that's all I need for a reason."

They laughed again, and ate, as the steak arrived. It was delicious, as always, and the two engaged in deep conversation, while every now and again they'd glance to the table next to them.

Jack sat staring sadly at his steak.

"What's wrong Jack?" Daniel asked.

"My steak's cooked wrong. They overcooked it, they never overcook it.

"You know, in the amount of times I've come here, I've never had any problems with my steak. But they undercooked it," Seanait complained.

The waitress head toward their tables. Both Jack and Seanait stood to see her and complain.

"Excuse me ma'am-"

"Jen-"

"My steak's under-overcooked…" They spoke at the same time.

"Oh- sorry Colonel, go ahead."

Jack went to open his mouth, but turned quickly to Seanait.

"What did you call me?"

"Uhh- Colonel…"

"How'd you know-"

"I saw your tags!" She said thinking quickly.

Jack gave her an awkward look, "Oh-okaay… Jen I think my steak was overcooked."

"I'm sorry about that sir, I'll take it right back."

"Thank you," Jack sat back down.

"Can I help you…?"

"My steak was undercooked…"

"I'll have them do you up another one," she smiled.

Seanait sat down. "That was close."

"You're telling me," mumbled Faolán, who continued to eat her steak, she seemed to be more enthralled with it's consuming than with what was going on around her. She was hungry, who could blame her?

"Still haven't lost your appetite," Seanait chuckled.

"Hmm? Oh- no I haven't," she laughed a little and took a drink. "Every try any of this?"

"Can't say that I have."

Faolán chocked- "What! Your poor deprived person! Waitress… got me two more of these please?"

"Alright I'll be right back with those, here's your steak ma'am." She walked off to give the Colonel his re cooked meal.

"Sorry about the mix up sir! Anything I can get you?"

"No thank you Jen, we're just fine-"

"I'll take a bud light actually if you please." Daniel interrupted.

"Daniel? Is there something you aren't telling us?" Jack played at him.

"No Jack I'm just feeling up to a drink," he said lightly in reply.

Jack gave him side ways glance, "Alright get the man his drink then!"

"Okay- so a beer and two margaritas…" Jen mumbled to herself

"Margaritas?" Jack looked taken back.

"Oh- not for you sir."

"Ah! I see," he nodded knowingly.

Jen left.

Back at Faolán and Seanait's table Seanait looked to Faolán seriously, "How you been?"

"Well, I'm flying and flying high!" Faolán finished off her drink.

"On what?"

It took Major Dunlop to realize exactly what she meant, then she laughed lightly. "I'm in my bird, and I'm on life, that's all I need! Yourself, what you been up to? How's your grumpy old man?"

"I've been great… busy with you know, Air Force stuff. Hm- well he's okay. Still holding a grudge against the Military career choice, but we talk now and again and I visit on holidays sometimes. Hey, when did you join? I mean I knew it was always a thought, but I never expected you to join. "

Faolán smiled while looking off into the distance, "Lets just say it wasn't without costs," her eyes flickered a deep fire of passion and memory, one that Seanait had only ever seen on one rare occasion. She was intrigued to know if her thoughts were correct.

Seanait raised her head a smirked, "You're kidding me, right?"

Faolán winked and got up. "Well, we should be going. Have to fly tomorrow, and if I drink anymore of theses I might not be able to…"

"Awe, Faolán! C'mon am I right? Are you serious?" She said trying to keep a straight-face. There was no reply and she knew that she wouldn't get the answer she wanted.

They walked to the parking lot.

"Fuck, I still can't believe how long it's been," Faolán sighed.

"What you and…"

"No! You and me, it's been a life time!"

Seanait nodded slowly, "Indeed it has."

Faolán brightened a little opening the door to her Hummer, "See you tomorrow! And don't forget your seatbelt, and extra parachute, just incase."

Seanait tried to remain serious, "This isn't a game."

"My dear friend, life is a game I gamble with," Faolán climbed in and shut the door, "but you can fly first just incase."

Seanait shook her head and couldn't help but laugh "Same old Faolán."

"Hey go take a good look at your self first before you stat accusing me of that 'same old same' shit... Some things never change," she revved up the engine and peeled out. Seanait looked after the taillights and laughed more openly now, listening to it's engine roar.

The people coming from O'Malley's looked at her oddly, so the respective Major got into her Mini and drove off.

Back in O'Malley's the members of SG-1 stood to take there leave. Jen, the waitress met them at the door.

"Hope you all enjoyed your meal. Sorry for the mix up Colonel. Come back soon."

"I think we'll do that, except it's your turn next time to pay," he said to Jen then to Sam and Daniel.

They all smiled laughing warmly and went home for the evening.
