The 12 Days of Christmas: SGC Style
Excerpt from the diary of Colonel Samantha Carter
19th December. 6 days until Christmas
Four days until the party, and six days until I see Jack. I have to say, Vala's thoughts on the matter were quite insightful. She may not look it, but she's quite intelligent when she wants to be. Despite all of her shortcomings; being a former thief, still untrustworthy at times; she is an invaluable member of the SGC, and I can't see why Daniel continues to push her away. Maybe I should talk to him about that. Anyway, for a party that's only been in planning for a few days, it's going very well. All we need now is the food, which we will collect on the 23rd, so it is fresh. I'm actually looking forward to this opportunity to be with my colleagues and friends outside of the SGC. I think it will be good for everyone.

Daniel was sitting in the commissary by himself when Sam entered. She grabbed a bowl of blue jello and plopped herself down in front of him.
"Hi." She said.
"Hello." He replied.
They sat in silence for a little bit, while Sam ate her jello.
"So..." Sam said.
"So..." Daniel said in reply.
"I don't generally stick my nose into other people's business, but seeing as you stick yours into mine all the time, I feel entitled to stick mine in yours."
"What? What about?" Daniel asked.
"Vala." Sam replied.
"Vala? What about her?"
"Are you going to keep brushing her off?" Sam asked.
"What do you mean?" Daniel asked.
"She's in love with you." Sam said.
"No she's not. I'm a constant source of amusement and entertainment to her."
Sam rolled her eyes. "Trust me on this Daniel."
"Most of the time, she's just messing with me."
Sam shook her head. "She loves you Daniel. Just give her the chance to prove that to you."
"Did she put you up to this?"
"No. This is all from observations and the fact that I know you have feelings for her, too. You gave me advice, this is me reciprocating."
They sat in silence again as Sam finished her jello.
"At least think about it." Sam said, getting up. "Oh, and be careful for mistletoe."
"She knows about mistletoe?"
Sam gave a nonchalant shrug.
Daniel sighed, took and his glasses, and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Oh great."
Sam suppressed a grin, and patted Daniel on the back. "You'll be fine." She said, before leaving the commissary, leaving Daniel sitting by himself again, this time with even more on his mind.
