Daniel and I had a little get-together at my house two weeks later. Jack, Jack Jr., Jonas, Martouf, Delek, and Fifth came from the SGC. I invited Sam and Janet but they were busy. I also invited my friends Katie, Alexandria, Christina, Jules, Monica and my dear baby sister Robyn. Jack, of course, brought the beer.
I got very drunk. I don't know how Jack talked me into drinking. I slurred. "I wanna gets a tattoo."
Daniel drunkenly said, "Yes. Tattoos. I'll get one with you."
Christina said, "I wanna…piercing."
I slurred again. "Who's driving?"
It went silent.
Someone mumbled, "Teal'c…"
"Ok." I picked up the phone and called Teal'c. "Teal'c. Pease drive us to tattoo place…"
Teal'c said, "Are you ill Leslie MacGyver?"
"Drunk…" I giggled.
"I will be there in 15 minutes."
"Tanks Teal'c." I hung up the phone. I giggled again. "Teal'c funny on phone. He…here soon."
Teal'c arrived at my house and knocked on the door but no one answered. He took out his copy of my key and unlocked the door.
Jack said, "Hey T…have a nice cold one…"
"I cannot."
"Suit yourself…"
"Are you ready?"
I said, "Yesh. Lesh go."
Jules, Katie, Jack, Alex, Jonas, Chris, Martouf, Daniel and I loaded up in Teal'c's van. The rest stayed at my house. Christina and Martouf wanted to go get piercing instead of tattoos so Teal'c dropped them off and drove over to the tattoo parlor. He stayed in the van while the rest of us went inside. We were greeted by a large man with a big, bushy beard. He had a variety of different tattoos covering his body.
He said, "Hello. Can I help ya with anything?"
Daniel said, "We'd like to get tattoos"
The man said, "You've come to the right place. Pick one off the walls or I'll draw one up for ya. Take all the time you need."
I said, "I know what I want. I'll go first. I want to get it over with before I start thinking straight."
The man said, "This way please."
I followed the man into another room. I pulled a picture of the Earth Symbol out of my pocket and showed it to the man. "I'd like that on my right shoulder."
The man nodded. "Alright then. Sit here."
I did so. I felt the first needle and I hissed a little. Lantash helped a little with the pain.
After about 20 minutes, the man said, "Ok. Done…"
"I'd like one more tattoo on my lower back. I'll be right back with the picture." I jumped off the table and walked out the door. I went in my purse that Daniel was holding. I pulled out the picture and walked back into the room with the man. I showed him the picture and he proceeded to draw it on my lower back.
About 50 minutes later, he said, "Done."
"Ok…how much?"
"$100."
I handed him a $100 dollar bill. "How long will it be before it heals completely?"
"About 2 - 3 weeks."
I nodded and walked out the room. I sat down next to Daniel, making sure that I don't hit the new, bloody tattoos. "So…whose next?"
Jules said, "Me! Mine won't take too long."
Katie said, "I'll go after her."
Jules got a little cat's head on her right hip. Katie got a little UFO with an alien inside the bubble on her right ankle. When Katie came out, Jack stood up. Katie gave him a quick kiss and Jack went in.
Jack walked out 30 minutes later and showed Katie his new tattoo. It was a tattoo of a boat out on a lake with a boy and a girl fishing. There was a beer bottle in the boy's hand.
Katie blushed.
Daniel said, "I'll go last. Jonas, you can go ahead."
Jonas got up and said, "I'm getting something for you, Alex."
Alex smiled.
Jonas went in and came out 30 minutes later. He got a tattoo on his right butt cheek. It said Alexandria with a heart under it. He said, "I don't think I'll be able to sit down straight for a while." (It was Alex's idea)
"Come here for a second, Jonas." I placed my hand on his forehead. I was seeing if I could numb him. I was able to so I gave Jonas a couple hours of numbness. He was then able to sit down.
It was Daniel's turn. "If I get a tattoo, you can't see it until after the wedding."
I nodded. "Ok. Would you like to be numbed before you go in?"
Daniel said, "Yes. Please."
I placed my hand on Daniel's forehead and numbed him. He then went to go see the man. 45 minutes later, Daniel was done. He paid the man. "So…Ready to go?"
I said, "Yeah."
We all loaded back up into Teal'c's van. We went to go pick up Chris and Martouf from the piercing parlor. Chris and Martouf got piercing but they wouldn't tell ANYONE where. We then went back to my house.
When I unlocked the door, Delek was sitting up waiting for Jules to come back, and Monica with Fifth asleep together on the floor. My sister and Jack Jr., were sleeping on the couch.
I said, "I'll be right back." Before Daniel could ask whereI was going, I got in the car and drove to the SGC. I asked General Hammond, "Mind if I borrow the goa'uld healing device?"
General Hammond asked, "What ever for?"
"Well...I need to heal someone. Someone was..." I sighed. "Someone got very, very drunk."
"Ah. Lemme guess. Jack brought the beer?"
I nodded.
General Hammond chuckled. "Permission granted."
"Thank You, Sir." I grabbed the device from the infirmary and went back home. I went back inside carrying the hand device. Daniel saw what I was holding.
I said, "I'm gonna use it on Jonas first so he can sleep better."
Daniel nodded.
I walked over to Jonas and showed him the healing device. "You're first." I took his hand and we went into my bedroom. I used the healing device on him. I did the same thing to everyone else.
Our guests found a place to rest. Daniel and I went upstairs into the bedroom. We fell fast asleep on the bed.
In the morning, I woke up and saw Daniel next to me. I kissed him and went down stairs. I stood at the bottom of the stairs staring at the bodies on my living room floor.
Daniel called from the room, "Leslie, bring some aspirin for my MAJOR headache. Please."
I brought up the goa'uld healing device that I saw on the coffee table. Daniel was sitting up on the bed holding his head in his hands.
I said, "Lay down."
Daniel lied down slowly.
I sat next to him and used the healing device for his headache and hangover. I took off the device and sat it on the night stand. The next thing I know, Daniel is on top of me.
I said, "I guess you're feeling better."
Daniel smiled.
"There are a lot of bodies on my living room floor."
Daniel and I stood on the stairs looking at all the bodies. We were wondering what happened last night. We saw Jack in the corner with my friend Katie. I tried to wake him up but all he did was groan. I used the healing device on him.
Jack said, "I have never had a hangover like that before." He then looked up at me and Daniel. "What are you guys doing in my house?"
"I should ask you that, Sir. You're in my living room."
Jack then looked around. He tried to get up but someone was on him arm. "Who is this?"
"That's my friend Katie."
"Oh."
"Jack, do you remember anything from last night?"
"No. Don't remember a thing. Hey, listen, I have to get up. Can you move her?"
Daniel and I lifted Katie up slightly so Jack could get his very numb arm out from under her. When he stood up, he ran straight for the bathroom upstairs.
Daniel and I chuckled. Daniel and I then heard a yell, "What the hell is this?" We ran upstairs to the bathroom Jack was in.
Jack was standing in front of the sink looking in the mirror with his shirt off.
I asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Jack turned around and pointed to something on the right side of his chest. It was a boat with a boy and girl fishing. "When did I getting this."
Daniel asked, "Shouldn't it be bloody?"
I nodded. "Hmm…" I walked off to the bathroom in the bedroom. I closed and locked the door. I stripped down to see if I had any tattoos. I found two. One was on my shoulder and the other on my lower back. I then realized that everyone will see them through my wedding dress. I said, "Oh no!"
Daniel knocked on the door. "Honey, are you ok?"
"I'm fine." I cursed under my breath.
"What's wrong?"
I got dressed and opened the door. "I got a tattoo too. We must have gotten them last night or something."
Daniel said, "If you have one then..." Daniel went into the bathroom and closed the door. I walked over and sat on the bed. Daniel walked out of the bathroom 10 minutes later. "I have one too."
"Only one? I have two. What's bad about where they are is that you'll be able to see them through my dress, especially the big one."
"What are your tattoos of?"
"I want to surprise you. You'll have to wait until the wedding."
"Ok. But you'll have to do the same. That means no peeking or anything like that."
"Ok. I promise."
Daniel and I went to go find Jack. He was still in the bathroom looking at his new tattoo. "So…do you have one?"
I answered, "Yes we do Jack. Actually, Daniel has one. I have two." I then fainted.
Daniel caught me. "Leslie!"
I said, "I'm…so…tired…"
Jack and Daniel carried me back to the bedroom. They laid me down on the bed. Jack sat at the foot of the bed and Daniel sat next to me. He pushed some hair out of my face. He said, "You must be exhausted from healing everyone. Maybe you need something to eat. Lay here until Jack and I get back."
I nodded slightly.
Daniel kissed me. He and Jack then went to the store to get some breakfast. I closed my eyes and was fast asleep.
About 30 minutes later, I woke up from some knocking on the door. My baby sister Robyn came up to see me. She poked her head in the door.
I smiled. "Hey, come in."
Robyn went over to the bed and laid next to me.
"Do you remember what happened last night?"
"I don't remember anything after drinking that soda that I know was spiked."
"Hmm…well, I must have been drunk enough to get a tattoo."
"Oh! Where? Lemme see!"
I got out of bed and showed her my two tattoos. "Do you think Daniel will like this one?" I pointed to my lower back.
"Oh yeah. He will love it."
"I sure hope so."
We heard an "Ahem" coming from the door. Daniel was standing there with his arms folded across his chest. He was tapping his foot on the floor. "What are you doing out of bed? Didn't I tell you to lie down until Jack and I got back?"
I gave Daniel a face like a puppy that was being yelled at.
"Get back in bed."
"Yes Sir." I got back into the bed.
Robyn said, "I'll be down stairs if ya need me."
I nodded. "Keep it a secret!"
Robyn nodded.
Daniel came over and sat next to me on the bed. He touched my forehead with the back of his hand. "You've got a fever. I'll bring you up some breakfast and something for the fever. Then I want you to sleep."
I argued, "But…"
"Ah! Doctor's orders."
I pouted, "Yes Doctor."
"Ok. I'll be right back."
I sat in the bed waiting for Daniel to return. Katie, Jules, Alex, Christina, and Monica snuck upstairs while Daniel was in the kitchen with Jack making breakfast. Alex knocked on the door.
I said, "Yes?"
Alex poked her head in.
I waved for them to come in. They sat around the bed.
I asked, "Does anyone know what happened last night?"
Monica shook her head. "I don't…why?"
"I think we took a visit to the tattoo parlor last night. Daniel and I both have tattoos. Jack does too. You may wanna look to see if you have one."
Katie lifted up her pants leg. There was the little UFO on her right ankle. "Where did this come from?"
Jules went into the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror looking at her right hip. Chris said, "Awe…that's cute."
Jules came out and showed everyone.
Monica asked, "Shouldn't they be bloody?"
I nodded. "I must have used the healing device on them."
Alex said, "So let's see yours…"
I sat up in the bed and pulled down the right shoulder of my shirt. "This is an ancient hieroglyph that means Earth."
I then stood up and pulled up the back of my shirt so they can see my lower back. "Do you think Daniel will like this one?"
Chris didn't know what it was. "He will love it…whatever it is…"
"Sorry I can't tell you guys what it is…I'll get in trouble with General Hammond..." I got back in bed. "Jack got one on his chest. It's a little boy and girl on a little boat fishing."
Katie said, "Awe."
I said, "Yeah. I wonder who the girl is."
Katie blushed.
Daniel then walked through the bedroom door. "Sorry ladies. Leslie has to get some rest."
Monica said, "We were just about to leave anyway..."
Chris said, "Yeah, Les...have fun. I know ya will."
Jules said, "Lucky girl you."
I smiled. "See ya..."
Alex said, "Get well."
Daniel said, "Help yourself to some breakfast. There is plenty to eat."
I said, "Hey, bridal shower is in," I looked at Daniel, "it will be in two weeks."
Before Katie left the room, she gave me two thumbs up."
I smiled.
Daniel said, "You need to eat. I'm gonna call General Hammond to ask for at least a week ofdowntime."
"Why?"
"So you can get your strength back."
I nodded.
Daniel smiled. "Now, you eat. I'll be right back. I have to talk to our guests."
"Ok. Tell the rest of them the shower is in two weeks."
"Ok." Daniel then left the room.
I started eating my breakfast.
