Anyway back to the chapter.
Its Show Time
"You got a job?"
Sam smiled.
"I sure did."
Janet looked at her all confused.
"What's wrong? You're giving me that look."
"What look?"
"That look like you have no idea what im on about."
Janet placed the bear she was playing with down.
"Why do you want a job? You've got to plan for prom."
"Proms taken care of. I have a date, my dress is sorted and i couldn't be happier."
"The play?"
"That ends tonight."
"Jack?"
"Me and Jack aren't going to spend every waking hour together."
Janet looked at her again. Sam smiled and shook her head when she realised what was on Janets mind.
"You know this job only takes up three of my days."
"That's it?"
"Yup. Which gives me four days for my friends and Jack."
Janet smiled and hugged Sam.
"So what is this job?"
(School Dressing Rooms)
"A Dancer!"
"Yes Jack."
Sam hung her costume up on her door. Ferreti smiled.
"What sort of dancer?"
"Not the sort you can leer over."
"So what type of dancer are you gonna be?"
"Promise you wont laugh?"
"Cross my heart."
Sam cross examined Jacks eyes.
"There's this new 70s diner opening and they need people to perform cheesy dance routines. Im one of those people."
Everyone went silent for a short while then burst out laughing.
"Well, there was this application for a bar across the road. Erotic dancer i believe it was."
Jack raised his hand.
"Cheesy dancer will do fine."
The drama teacher knocked on the dressing room door.
"Time to get changed guys. We go on in an hour."
Ferreti extended his hand to Kawalski.
"My lady."
"Thank you kind sir."
Kawalski and Ferreti walked out of the dressing room.
"Im so glad they put girls separate from boys."
"Im not sure if those two qualify as guys."
Janet pulled her curling tongs out of her bag and plugged them in.
"Ok, this is our cue to go."
"Well, unless your characters have curly hair, i agree with you."
Jack kissed Sam.
"I'll see you out there."
Sam waved as Jack disappeared out the door. Daniel gave Janet a quick peck and ran out after him and Teal'c.
"Right, beauty time."
(Jack and Daniels Dressing Room)
"So have you told Sam about this gig you got yet?"
"No. I don't want her to feel that she has to be one of these girlfriends who has to come and watch her boyfriend perform. She's already at every game."
"That's because she's a cheerleader."
"You've got to be kidding."
Jack looked behind him to see a very pissed off Graham.
"Can we help you?"
"This is my dressing room."
"No it's ours."
Daniel stepped in between them.
"You know we could all share the dressing room."
Graham chucked his stuff to one side of the room.
"This is my side."
"And this is our side."
Daniel took a deep breath.
"I think this is going to be such a fun night."
(4 Hours Later)
Everyone watched as Graham and Jack took on their characters of Paris and Romeo. They gripped their seats as Romeo and Paris fought.
"Oh, I am slain"
Paris fell to the ground
"If thou be merciful. Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet."
The crowd began to clap and cheer as Paris slowly died. Romeo took his place looking over Juliet.
"...Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on. The dashing rocks they sea-sick weary bark! Here's to my love!"
Romeo holds the bottle to his lips and drinks the poison.
"O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss i die."
Romeo fell to the ground. Daniel entered dressed out in his robes as Friar Lawrence
"Saint Francis be my speed! How oft to-night. Have my old feet stumbled at graves?"
The Friar walked over to Romeo.
"...Romeo! O, pale! Who else? What, Paris too? And steep'd in blood? Ah, what an unkind hour. Is guilty of this lamentable chance! The lady stirs."
Sam's eyes fluttered open taking on the character of Juliet.
"O comfortable friar, where is my lord? I do remember well where i should be, And there i am. Where is my Romeo?"
Silence filled the stage and crowd.
"I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest of death, contagion and unnatural sleep. A greater power than we can contradict. Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, and Paris too. Come, i'll dispose of thee. Among a sisterhood of holy nuns. Stay, not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go good Juliet."
Friar stops as he hears a sound.
"I dare not stay longer."
Friar exits as Juliet looks over Romeo and takes his hand.
"What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand? Poison i see, hath been his timeless end. O churl, drunk all and left no friendly drop. To help me after? I will kiss thy lips. Haply some poison yet doth hang on them. To make die with a restorative."
Juliet bends down and kissed Romeo. Sam almost giggles as Jack tries to keep the kiss going on longer. She eventually pulls away.
"Thy lips are warm."
Juliet closes her eyes as she hears noises.
"Yea noise? then i'll be brief. O happy dagger!"
Juliet takes Romeos dagger.
"This is thy sheath."
Juliet raised the dagger and jabbed it into her stomach.
"There rust, and let me die."
She falls on Romeos body and after letting the audience hear her last breaths, dies.
The audience got to their feet and began clapping and whistling. So caught up in the moment, no one noticed Jacks lips moving.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Jacks hand tightened on Sams. After a minute of clapping, everyone got to their feet on the stage and disappeared.
"Get ready to bow everyone. Romeo and Juliet will go out last. Extras will go out first. By the way, all of you were great tonight. Even you three."
The drama teacher pointed to Teal'c, Ferreti and Kawalski.
"Oh please! We were the show."
"Right go!"
Janet and Daniel linked hands and ran on stage together.
"Daniel Jackson as Friar Lawrence and Janet Fraiser as nurse"
Janet and Daniel took their bows and stood to the side for the next people. Graham looked at Teal'c. Teal'c raised his eyebrow.
"Don't even think im holding your hand."
"But they're nice and soft."
"Go!"
"Teal'c Murray as Mercutio and Graham Simmons as Prince."
Teal'c and Graham walked out. There were a few boo's for Paris but mainly claps as they took their bows. They stood to the opposite side.
Jack looked at Sam.
"Ready?"
"They either loved us or hated us."
"Go."
Jack took Sams hand as they walked out and bowed to the standing ovation. Everyone stood in a line and joined hands. Sam looked at Graham who was standing next to her. Graham grabbed Sams hand tight.
"Graham, you're slightly hurting me."
"I can't hurt you as much as you hurt me."
Sam ignored the pain and carried on smiling.
(Sams house)
Glasses knocked together and giggles sounded through the house.
"I can't believe you tripped over your dress."
Kawalskis cheeks brightened with red.
"The heels were hard to walk in."
Jack played with Sams fingers.
"Owww."
Jack looked at Sams hand then her eyes.
"You didn't have that cut on stage earlier."
"I don't know how i got it."
Janets eyes widened.
"You were holding hands with Graham for the bowing."
Sam threw a pillow at Janet.
"He did this to you."
"It doesn't matter. It's just a cut."
Jack went to say something but Sam placed her hand over his mouth.
"It doesn't bother me, so don't let it bother you."
She took her hand away and pressed a kiss on Jacks lips.
"Forgotten?"
"Forgotten."
Sam smiled.
"Good."
Teal'c smiled.
"Looks like Daniels no the only one under the thumb."
Now it was Teal'c turn to receive a pillow in the face.
"Hey Jack, have you told Sam about your gig yet?"
"Gig. What gig?"
"Thanks Daniel."
"Your welcome."
"Me and Asguard got a gig."
Sam threw her arms around Jack.
"That's great. Where?"
"Here. At Oasis."
Sam and Jack fell back onto the couch as Ferreti lifted a clear bottle.
"Were out of vodka."
