Sorry that this has taken so long! I have been so busy at school, with all of the holidays teachers seem to feel the need to give us tests and projects in every subject, and I am a part of the drama club, and since our play was recently preformed we have been having a lot of rehearsals. Sorry!
Please review!
Sam looked around at her handy work. Her decorations had been up for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time.
Outside she had ghosts hanging from the trees, fake spider webs with fake spiders, pumpkins with all sorts of faces, one of those witches that smashed into a tree…the list went on and on.
Inside Sam had pumpkin lights hanging all over, a table with a Halloween table cloth which was filled with all sorts of treats; a big bowl of candy; cookies; punch; cake, all sorts of things. She had special lights shining all around, streamers everywhere…
She was proud. It was her best decorating yet.
Sam was already in costume, and all she had to do was wait for the guests to arrive.
Her eye was on the clock. Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock. There was one minute until 6:00, which was when the party started.
'Ding Dong' the doorbell rang. Sams face lit up like a Christmas tree. A smile went across her face, her cheeks turned pink with cheer, her eyes turned bluer than ever before.
Sam practically jumped out of her chair and sprinted to the door. When it opened she warmly greeted her first guest.
"Hello, Dad."
"Hi, Sam" he hugged her.
"Nice costume…"
"Sorry…I just got the message." Jacob was wearing his Tok'ra clothing.
"Come in." She said to her father.
"I like what you've done with the place." He said, hinting sarcasm.
"Thanks. Halloween always was my favorite holiday." She said not noticing his sarcasm.
"Apparently it still is." Jacob said. She laughed.
'Ding-dong' the doorbell rang for the second time.
Sam ran to the door again. When she opened the door she saw her brother, and his wife and kids.
"Hello, Sam," Marks wife, Cindy, said.
"Hi." Sam said, while letting them in. She bent down to give Marks kids, Michael and Grace, a hug.
"Do you like my Princess Jasmine costume, Aunty Sam?" Grace asked, her own big blue eyes sparkling like the rhyme stones on her costume.
"Yes. You look very pretty. And you, Michael, look very nice as well." Michael was dressed in a Spiderman costume.
"Thank you." The two kids said, almost in unison.
"Your very welcome."
'ding-dong'
"ONE SECOND," came a voice from beyond the front door.
There was a clinking sound that could be heard from the outside of the house. Janet had opened the eye thingy and saw a man standing on her front porch. The man she saw was looking right back into the eye thingy , with black paint circling his eyes.
The door swung open.
"Hey Colonel O'Neill!" The woman in the house said.
"Hello, Fraiser. Carter told me to pick you up…said you might forget…"
"Oh…thank you…I think…"
"No prob!" He said, with one of his famous grins.
"Nice costume by the way." She said, eyeing it.
"Back at you."
Guest had been arriving one after the other, and it was only 6:27 when Sam had last looked at the clock.
The doorbell rang again, but she was on the other side of the room getting punch for Grace.
"Dad, can you grab that?" She called to her father.
"Sure thing." He replied. Jacob walked to the door and opened it.
"Colonel Mitchel! How are you?"
"Good,"
"Well that's good. Come in!"
A few minutes later the doorbell rang again, and Sam was the closest person to the door.
"Hey Janet," Sam greeted her friend.
"Hey, Sam"
Sam looked at Janet's costume – a skeleton.
"Nice costume…how…original."
"Hey! That's my line!" Vala called from the back round.
"Well I'm a doctor…doctor, skeleton…it just works." She said going inside with Vala.
She almost closed the door but something stopped it. Five long fingers, in a black glove, curled around the door, slowly pushing it open.
Sam helped the door open.
"Boo." The man said.
Sam looked at him. "Sir…….?"
"You got it!" He said, smiling.
"But I thought…I thought you thought dressing up was…not…you?"
"There was no way I could say no…you would have hunted me down…" Jack said quietly at the end.
"Well…thanks for dressing up!"
"Don't mention…don't even mention it…" he said.
Sam closed the door, and went inside, but she noticed Vala and Janet, nodding their heads, and laughing at Jack a little.
"I SAID IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Jack yelled to them, very annoyed as if they had been laughing at him the whole night.
Almost everyone was here, "everyone except Daniel…and Teal'c...but where's Daniel?" she thought. "Where is he? He better not be here because he didn't want to be with Vala..."
'Ding-Dong'
"I'll get it!" Janet called, as she was standing right next to the door. Sam followed.
When Janet and Sam answered they saw Teal'c.
"Hi Teal'c…ummmm…" Sam said as they glanced at Teal'cs costume, "ummm…nice…costume…"
"Thank you, Major Carter," Teal'c said as kids ran down the street. He glanced over his shoulder slightly. "Your world is a strange place."
"Yeah, well…come on in" Sam said. As Teal'c walked by, she noticed someone else standing behind Teal'c. Teal'cs costume was rather…ummm…large….so it was difficult to see around it.
Noticing Daniel she said, "Hey...oh...ok..."
"Daniel…? Is that….is that…you?" Janet screeched, falling to the floor in a hysterical laughing fit.
Jack, Teal'c, Vala, Sam, and Mitchell had all been by the door, and looked out at Daniel. Amongst much laughing from Janet, who was on the floor unable to get up from all of the laughing, there were many sounds of confusion.
"Oh…"
"Holy…"
"Wow…"
"…my…"
"...I...wow…."
"What the-"
"OHMYGOD!"
"…just….wow…"
"…God…"
"What the-"
"Hey, guys!"
Sorry that this chapter is a little repetitive…ok, VERY repetitive.
The next chapter should be up sooner than this one, and I assure you that it will be better than this one. Some things in this chapter happened the way they did for a reason, so hopefully it will work out the way I want it to.
I promise, by the way, that you will find out what the main characters are dressed up as in the next chapter!
