The 12 Days of Christmas: SGC Style

Excerpt from the diary of Colonel Samantha Carter

23rd December. 2 days until Christmas

Well this is it. Party day! A week's worth of planning all comes down to today. Surprisingly, I haven't seen Vala yet today. I expect she will be at the school gym, setting up decorations all morning. It's possible she'll be back later and I'll have to put up with her then. It'll almost be a good thing when Christmas is over, just so she'll leave me alone. Don't get me wrong, I love her company, but she's just so enthusiastic about everything! She's so over the top. But we love her anyway. She's done well over the past year to improve herself. I'm proud of her, though probably not as proud as Daniel. As much as she drives him up the wall, I know he's proud of the changes she's made. Anyway, bust get some work done today, before Vala gets back.

——————————————————

It was 1630 hours. The party started at 1930 hours. Three hours to go. Sam was sitting in her lab, typing up a report that General Landry had wanted yesterday. Sam hated having to hand things in late, but this wasn't her fault. As she'd told Landry yesterday, Dr Lee hadn't let her near the device for a lot of the time. She was currently annoyed with him.

"Hey Sam! Check this out!" Vala bounded into the lab, and Sam was left gaping at her.

"Wow." Sam said.

"You like it?" Vala asked.

"It's... cute." Sam replied.

Vala was wearing a short red skirt, and a tight fitting red shirt. Both had fluffy white edges. She was also wearing a Santa hat. A sexy female Santa suit, topped off with knee high, laced, black boots.

"So, you like it?" Vala repeated.

"It's... cute." Sam said again.

Vala grinned. "Good, 'cause I got you one."

"What?"

"This." Vala indicated the outfit. "Is what you and I are wearing tonight."

Sam didn't hesitate. "No."

"No?"

"I'm not going to wear that!" Sam said.

"Oh yes you are." Vala replied.

Sam laughed. "Vala, I let you get me a Christmas tree, put decorations in my lab, I took you shopping, I let you do my nails. I draw the line at tiny Santa suits."
Vala grinned. "I knew you were gonna say that. But just think, you can get any guy, to do anything for you dressed like this. And it's comfy! Daniel is going to go crazy!" The last part was directed at herself.

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"A thousand times no."

"What are you two arguing about... oh, wow." Cam had walked into Sam's lab, and was now ogling Vala. "You got one of those Sam?"

"Yes she does." Vala replied. "She's gonna wear it tonight."

"No, I'm not." Sam said.

Cam turned to her. "Pretty please?" He pouted.

Sam gave him an incredulous look. "Why?"

Cam shrugged. "One beautiful lady dressed like that, and I'll be ogling her all night. And Jackson won't like that. But if there's two of you, I can ogle both of you, and make it look as though I'm just a healthy male."

Sam glared at him. "You're mad."

He shrugged. "Maybe."

"Fine, I'll wear it." Sam muttered.

"Great!" Vala dumped a bag on Sam's desk. "Here you go."

At 2230 hours, with the party in full swing, Vala hopped up onto a table, calling for everyone's attention. She got it quickly. She also got a few wolf whistles. She laughed at that. "Okay everyone, now for something special. May I introduce... Santa!"
By now, everyone had had a few drinks, so everyone cheered loudly.

Someone dressed in a baggy Santa suit walked into the room. He walked over to Vala.

"Thanks, miss." He said.

Sam turned at the sound of the voice. It was eerily familiar. She knew who it was.

"I have a present here in this sack for everyone." Santa announced. "But you can get them yourselves. Grab one when you leave."

Everyone cheered again, except Sam. She was busy staring at 'Santa.'

"I've also got some special gifts." Santa announced.. "First, General Hank Landry. For 'being the best CO around at the moment.'" Santa read the tag on the parcel out loud. He gave a snort of laughter, then passed the gift onto Landry.

"Next, Dr Daniel Jackson. Resident smart-ass. This is for 'everything.' That's all it says. 'Everything.'" He lobbed the gift to Daniel, who managed to catch it. Everyone clapped, as they all knew that Daniel could be a klutz.

"Okay, the next gift is for Colonel Cameron Mitchell, for 'leading SG1 so brilliantly.' Following in the footsteps of some truly fantastic COs." He threw the gift to Cam, who smiled in return.

Santa reached into the bag again. "Teal'c. 'Part of the best team around.'" That gift was passed to Teal'c.

"Next, Vala Mal Doran, for 'organising this bash.'"

Vala looked pleased. "Thanks."

"You're welcome. Now, one more official gift, and also an unofficial gift. This goes to a certain Colonel, who tonight is looking incredibly hot. Colonel Samantha Carter, can you come up here please?"

There were some more wolf whistles and laughs, and Sam turned bright red as she wandered towards the man dressed as Santa. When she arrived, he passed her a wrapped gift, then grinned.

"Merry Christmas, Carter." He said, before, without hesitation, pulling down his fake beard, placing his hands on either side of Sam's face, and kissing her.

Sam would have gasped, but she was frozen for a moment. Then she reacted, her hands coming up to meet around his neck, kissing him back. His tongue sought entry, which Sam happily gave, parting her lips. The kiss would have become more passionate, and could easily have led to something more, but he pulled away, grinning madly at her.

"Merry Christmas, sir." Sam replied, grinning back at Jack, her other gift all but forgotten.
