Sam was dressed in a gown of something close to satin that had a long slit down both sides of her legs. The wide V-neck in the dress made Sam blush a little, but she was too entranced to realize exactly what was going on. When she emerged from her dressing room Eros was waiting for her. He gave the ladies who dressed her a nod and they scurried out of the room giggling to themselves. "You look lovely my dear."

"Thank you." Sam said, accepting Eros' outstretched hand. He had her lie down on a chaise lounge.

"Your friend is undergoing changes too. He will be ready in a minute to join you."

"You mean Daniel?" Sam grinned.

Eros nodded and bent to kiss Sam's forehead. "I have to meet my sister. I will be back later." And he left her to sit and wait for Daniel.

Sam knew she should be looking for a way out, but she didn't want to. Besides, these doors seemed to open on their own, and only when certain people walked through them.

Speaking of opening doors, Daniel just emerged through one. Sam grinned at him, looking him up and down, much the same way Eros did earlier. He had no shirt on and his pants were also of the satin-like material, flowing freely down to his bare feet.

"Sam, are you ok?" He asked, walking next to her. She looked gorgeous in the gown and the healthy blush just accentuated her cheeks. He knelt down beside her chaise lounge.

"You look great Daniel." She said, continuing to admire his muscles.

"Uh, thanks, but we need to get out of here." He regretted putting the clothes, well, the pants, on as he saw the effect they had on Sam. She was obviously enchanted by this place and its people. But the girls helping him refused to let him see her until he changed. Daniel took Sam's hand and tried to get her to sit up and help him. "Sam, help me look for a way out."

She shook her head. "I want to lie here Daniel. You find a way out if you want."

He sighed but let go of her hand and searched for a way to trigger the doors. Searching the walls rewarded him with no answers. Maybe there was something on the floors? As he looked around the floors Eros, followed by Harmonia, entered the room. They gave him sad smiles before going to where Sam lay in the middle of the room. She looked up at them and offered them genuine smiles. "She is ready my brother." Harmonia said.

Eros nodded and looked over at Daniel, who had stopped searching the floors to watch them. "Is he suitable?" Eros asked.

Harmonia frowned. "Mother was strict in her decision that it should be one of her friends. This one seems the wisest choice."

"Yes, the other ones were either too old or too void of emotion." Eros agreed. He walked over to Daniel.

"What have you done with Jack and Teal'c?" Daniel demanded.

"They are being fed by our ladies in waiting." Harmonia said. "I assure you, they are not harmed."

"Nor will they be." Eros looked over at Sam. "She has transformed into a lovely woman."

"She already was one." Daniel said, growing weary of these games. "Are you going to let us go?"

"Eventually." Eros said, turning back to Daniel.

"First, she will be loved." Harmonia said, standing next to Sam.

"That'll be nice." Sam said, grinning.

Did she know anything that was going on? "And you have been chosen to love her." Eros told Daniel.

"What?" Daniel paled.

…

"We have to find a way out T." Jack said as he bit into an apple. "These are delicious!"

Teal'c nodded. He was finding the fruits enjoyable himself. "We need to find Daniel Jackson and Major Carter first."

"Yeah." Jack looked around the room. The "ladies in waiting" as Harmonia had called them, stopped feeding him as he stood up. "How do we leave this room?" He asked one of them.

She looked over at her friends and giggled. They weren't going to be any help. "Any idea's T?" When Teal'c didn't answer Jack looked down at the pillows Teal'c was sitting on. "Teal'c!" He didn't expect to see the Jaffa in a lip-lock with one of the ladies.

Teal'c broke the kiss and looked up at Jack. "If we do as they ask, they will probably let us free."

Jack plumped back down on his pillows and allowed one of the girls to give him a back rub. "Since when has that worked?"

Teal'c raised an eyebrow at Jack. "It has not."

"Then why do you think it will now?"

If Teal'c shrugged, that's what he would have done. He didn't know his reasoning behind his statement; he just knew it to be true. He looked back at his lady and offered her the best smile he could. "They didn't ask us to make-out with these girls Teal'c."

Before Teal'c could reply he looked over at Jack and found him kissing the woman who was giving him the back rub. Succumbing to the most basic human feeling, Teal'c went back to kissing his beauty.

…

"And then the spell was broken and we escaped." Daniel concluded the story.

Jack frowned. "I know that we figured out there was a chemical being pumped into the temple to make us react differently then we would." He shook his head. "And that once they stopped pumping it in we snapped back to normal and jumped Eros as he came through one of the doors."

"We went to get Daniel Jackson and Major Carter." Teal'c added.

"And we hightailed it out of there." Jack said, nodding in agreement. "But I still think something is missing."

Sam gave him a rueful smile. "Nothing is missing Sir. We escaped and came back through the gate."

"To the concern of Gen. Hammond at seeing mine and Sam's new clothes."

"At least they weren't the Emperor's." Sam winced, remembering the looks she received as she walked to the dressing room to change.

Jack sighed. "Still seems off."

Sam looked at her watch. "Sir, I have some work to do."

Jack nodded, dismissing her. "I've got to read some reports." Daniel said, following Sam out of the door.

Jack turned to Teal'c. "I suppose you want to go back to reading your book?"

"Unless my assistance is needed further."

"No, go ahead." Teal'c bowed, then left the commissary, leaving Jack to his thoughts. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something they were forgetting.
