"Hi Daddy!"
-----------
"Hi Grace," Jack said in a light tone, than in a harsher tone, "Mitchell."
Jack was pissed off! He came in to the commissary for some Jello for he and Sam, and before he could get the Jello he sees this! Lt. Colonel Mitchell, holding the hand of his only daughter! He had given the of SG-1 to this guy, cause he asked for it and Jack wanted to spend more time with Sam. If Sam was not in command then she did not have to go through the gate as much. But now this guy had crossed the line. He did not like the picture of his only daughter holding anyone's hand who was not family!
"General, sir, uh I...um... this is not what it looks like!" Cameron spit out.
"Then what is it Colonel?"
"Dad!"
"What?"
"Chill out! I am not 13 any more! Yes I am your only daughter, but I am an adult! Cam has not done anything you think he has! Don't you dare take away his new job, then you and mom would be back where you guys where! Now go get your Jello and go rant to Mom."
"Right, I always forget you can do that," Jack said then went to get the Jello and left them as they were.
"He always forgets that," Grace mumbled.
"What just happened?"
"Well, I have the Ancient gene like my Dad. I have the full gene, so I can read the mind of anyone who has the Ancient gene, and Ancients' minds as well. I am the next form of the Ancients."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"So, when do you have to go back?"
"Um, I have no idea!"
"K, So."
"So?"
'Just ask her!' Mitchell said to himself! "Do you want to go out sometime?"
Grace smiled one of her 100 watt smiles that she got from her mom. "I would love that."
"SG-1 is grounded until everything goes through. So how about tonight?"
"Sounds great!"
"I'll pick you up at 1700? Where are you staying?"
"1700 is great, I am staying with my parents. Don't worry they won't be home."
"Sweet, see you later!"
"See you!"

I sat back and smiled. Today was going to be a good day. Swam, I'm at home, saw mom and dad, and met a great guy! I finished my cake and went off to find Daniel and Teal'c.
I walked down the halls to Daniel's lab. "Daniel!"
"Hey Grace! How are you?"
"I'm great! It's so good to be back in my own country! Yeah I love practising my Mandarin, but here I have people who are my height! I'm swimming great! By the time the big meet comes, I will be able to shatter all of my best times. Cause now I can swim faster than just about all of the world records. I might have some trouble with a couple races but, if I break my best times than I should be bringing home some golds, hopefully."
"Wow! That's great! All of us are going to try to get there so we can watch you swim!"
"Sweet!"
Then I felt my pocket vibrating and 'The Simpsons' theme song fills the air.
I pulled out my phone and see it is Frank, the best gay friend I could ever wish for! "Frank!"
"Hey Gracie. Next week the team has a promo. in DC. You will be there right?"
"Yeah, hold on."
"Daniel, when is the dinner?"
"Week from tomorrow, so next Thursday."
"Yeah I am going to be there the whole week! Bye Danny!"
"Who is Danny?"
"My parents' friend."
"Oh! You mean the doctor with the Ph.D in being hot?"
"It is not in being hot, and he has two, and yes Daniel Jackson. Frank, as I told you before he is married."
"Lucky girl! So I'm guessing you're back home?"
"Yup! Later I have to tell you about this guy I'm going out with tonight!"
"OOOOOO! Tell me, tell me!"
"I will, after the date."
"Bitch!"
"Damn Straight, Queer!"
"Grace O'Neill, why do you say Queer, when you are not talking to any one?"
"Hey T, I'm talking to my friend."
"Is he this Queer? As in 'Queer Eye for The Straight Guy'?"
"T, ya need to stop watching Bravo!"
"OMG! I love that show! You know a guy named T?"
"Yeah I do Frank and don't you have shopping to do?"
"Yeah I do! Bye Love you!"
"Love you!"

"Why did you call me Frank?"
"Ugh, I was talking to my friend Frank."
"Indeed... Do you love him as you say, because my understanding of the word Queer is that he would not love you but a man."
"Teal'c, he's my team mate and like best friend. We love each other like a brother and sister would, so we say Love you at the end cos' we like to."
"Indeed."
I walked off to go find something to do. It was around 7:30 in the morning and I had a whole day before my date with Cam!
"SG-1 to the briefing room ASAP!"
Dad's voice echoed through the halls. Then I got an idea!
I made my way up to Dad's office. In the briefing room they were watching something on the projector so no-one could see into the office. 'Perfect,' I thought.
I got onto Dad's computer and started to look through the files. I looked through them till I found the one I wanted. 'Yes; he hasn't deleted my game yet!' Then u started to play when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Jack?"
"Grandpa George! I haven't talked to you in a while - how are you? How are the girls?"
"Grace! Good to hear your voice! What was all that about you being missing from Hong Kong? I'm fine, so are the girls - they can't wait to see you swim."
"They should come to the games! Yeah, I wanted to come home so I beamed myself out and into my dad's house. Then called my coach and told him I went home."
"Ah, very well. The girls would love that! I'll talk to you about that later. Grace, why are you answering your Dad's phone?"
"Cause it rang. He's in a briefing and I was playing on his computer."
"Got it. Well, I need to talk to him so can you go get him for me?"
"Sure thing! Hold on."
I opened the door to see all of SG-1 and Grandpa Jacob!
"Grandpa!"
"Hi Gracie. I herd about your new placement. My little girl is number one, just like her mother."
"Yup."
"Wait! What?"
"Cam, I was named number one in the world before I 'disappeared' from Hong Kong."
"Sweet."
"Hey! That's my word! And why were you in my office Grace?"
"Um... Playing my game. oh yeah! Grandpa George is on the phone; he wants to talk to you!"
"Okay then. We will continue this briefing later. SG-1 is on downtime the next week. Then off to DC you all go for the dinner with Hayes."
Mumbled replies came from the team.
"So how long are you here?" I asked Grandpa Jacob.
"I'll be here until the dinner. The next day I'm leaving to go back to the Tok'ra."
"Cool!"
Again, my phone started to ring.
I looked at the caller ID. "Fuck!"
"Watch your language, young lady!" my mom, grandfather and Daniel said at the same time.
"Grace."
"Where the Hell are you!"
"Why would you care?"
"I care about you Grace, I heard on the news you'd gone missing. I was worried about you, baby."
"Bullshit! Don't 'baby' me, you asshole! When someone dumps you, you stop calling them. If you don't stop calling me, and saying we are going out then I will kick your sorry ass, then a couple Generals in the Air Force would kick your ass, then I can call the President to come get some MORE guys to kick your ass."
"You would never do that to me."
"Why the hell wouldn't I? You seem to have forgotten that I am the daughter of two very powerful people, and I could, should and will kick your ass."

"God I hate that man! He is a fuckin' bitch."
"Language!"
"I'm going home. No, I'm going to work out."
"Bye sweetheart!"
God I was pissed! So I go out with this guy for a couple nights. He's nice, but a little arrogant, cocky, and thinks I don't know my right from my left! So I cut it off with him. The past week and a half he called me like every day thinking we are still going out! God, I hate idiots!
When I got to the gym, I changed into shorts and a sports bra, and went out to hook up my iPod to the speakers and started to blare dance music. I quickly stretched out then started my work out.
I started with weights, then ran, then more weights. When I had finished with the weights, I changed the song to Barbie Girl and started with the punching bag. I loved this new bag, the replaced one after my dad busted the other one, I was killing the bag and singing along with the words of one of my favorite songs.
"Do you always sing and fight at the same time?" Cam asked from the work bench.
I hadn't even noticed he was there!
"You scared me! How long have you been here? And yeah I guess so."
"Sorry, I got here when you started to kill the bag. What is this stuff anyway?"
Then Barbie Girl finished and Heaven came on.
"Well this is Dance, Techno with words. It really gets your blood going."
"Cool. I never heard of it; sounds like it's really good."
I just smiledHe smiled back at me, then turned to the weights I'd left on the bar. He lay down on the bench and sat up to do a set. I stepped behind the bar to spot.
He started to do a few but at five he had to stop, I took the bar from him and placed it back in its place. His face was red and he look really tired.
"How... much... was ...that?" He stammered out trying to get his breath back.
"Well you did five, and there's about 175 kilos last time I checked."
"Wow." Cam looked me over. "You can lift that?"
"Yup."
He got up and motioned for me to take his spot. I lay back and sat up to the set. "You going to spot for me or what?"
"Yeah, sorry." He took the spot I was in above the bar.
Then I started. I did a set of 20 then put the bar back in place. I hopped up and grabbed my drink. Cam was just staring at me.
"What?"
"You just did 20 of them, I could barely do 5!"
"Oh. Well, I am an Olympic athlete who's training, so yeah I would be stronger than you just cause I have to be this strong if I want to have any chance of getting my best times."
"Yeah, but... "
"Are you mad cause I'm a girl and I can bench more than you?"
"Yeah kinda," he said quietly, sitting down on the bench.
I smiled and walked over to him sat next to him and looked him in the eyes. "Look, I'm sorry it bothers you that I'm stronger than you are. I can train you to be as strong as I am, but does it bother you that my mom's smarter than you? Or Daniel can speak more languages than you? I was raised to believe there's nothing that can stop me. When my parents joined the program, Teal'c and Daniel kept me going; I learned how to fight from Teal'c and learn languages from Daniel. Now the fact that I'm number one in the world for some sport is not the end of my career. I am going to stay at the top until I can't go anymore, then I can fall back on the rest of my education. Write a book with my mom, help Daniel translate. Please, I'm most likely better than you at a lot of stuff' can you try to not let it bother you and accept me?"
"Of course." He looked me in the eyes and I could see truth in what he said.
Almost like we were one person we both leaned in and rested our foreheads together.
"Are you okay with this? I mean this thing we have...".
I didn't let him finish that thought - I leaned in an placed a gentle kiss on his lips. The kiss was light and quick. When we pulled back, I looked into his eyes and said, "Yes."
We kissed again with more passion this time.
"So."
"So."
"Do you want to have dinner and a movie for our date tonight?"
"Sure. Well, I should go take a shower, I must really smell."
I got up but was pulled back to face him again. "It's not that bad; what do you want to see?"
"Something I could be distracted from."
With a wink I walked out of his arms and went to the locker room to shower.
