The Apprentice: SG-1 Series

Chapter Three: girls night

I quickly pulled the brush through my hair, then pulled it up into a high pony tail. I set the brush back in my bag and grabbed my Bert the farting hippo slippers out of the bag and slipped them on my feet. I glanced in the bathroom mirror and smiled. I had on my Bert the farting hippo PJ shirt and pants, plus the slippers, and I had the same dog collar around my neck as the one on the hippo. I grabbed my bag and made my way out into the living room. Tonight Sam, Sha're, Janet, and I were all spending the night at Sam's house for a much-needed girls night. We're going to watch some movies, play a couple board games, do our hair and nails, and maybe have a pillow fight or two. After the last couple weeks that we've had I say we deserve this night.

Several weeks ago, we found Apophis bruised and beaten on another planet and he'd asked for asylum on Earth, which I regret to say we gave to him. But he died two days later. Those two days where hell for Skaara. He refused to see Apophis and spent most of those two days in our shared room on base. He was plagued by nightmares for days afterwards. I did my best to try and comfort him, but there wasn't much I could do to stop the memories of Klorel from surfacing.

Then about a week after that we'd gone to another planet and found this old man, named Ma'chello, who swapped bodies with Daniel. While trying to figure out how to swap them back, Teal'c and Jack accidentally swapped bodies, and Skaara and I wound up accidentally swapping bodies. It was a really messed up day for all of us to say the least. Then last week we went to this planet where we found a group of aliens with some sort of white paste covering their entire bodies. We'd damaged one of the local planets which caused the aliens to become sick. We managed to fix the problem, and all was well.

Then today a boy showed up at the SGC followed by his mom, who turned out to be part of an invisible race of aliens known as the Reetou. A group of Reetou had managed to infiltrate the base and we had to call on the Tok'ra to help defeat them. Honestly the past several weeks had been beyond stressful, and I was ready to relax and spend some time with my friends. I set my bag down on the floor next to the couch and plopped down, waiting for everyone else to finish getting dressed. I only had to wait a minute or so before they came out into the living room.

"So, what should we do first?" Sam asked.

"Board games, and I have the perfect game in mind. Anyone up for Uno?" I asked, pulling the deck of Uno cards out of my bag.

"I don't know how to play this Uno game," Sha're stated.

"That's fine we'll show you how to play," Janet replied.

We spent the next couple minutes explaining the game to Sha're. After we finished explaining the game I dealt out the cards to everyone and we started playing. Turns out Sha're is a pretty good Uno player, but not as good as me. I won 5 out of 15 rounds, Sha're won 4 rounds, Sam won 3, and Janet won 3.

"How bout we play Monopoly?" Sam suggested.

"That sounds great," I replied.

Sam grabbed the game from the hallway closet and we quickly explained the rules to Sha're. The next thirty minutes we spent trying to beat each other at the game. I was picked as the banker, and I managed to snag all the rail way lines on the board. By the time the game was over both Sam and Sha're were practically broke, with Janet bringing up the rear, and me in the lead.

"Come on guys ya gotta do better than that or am I gonna have to kick your buts at every game we play," I exclaimed, smirking.

"Okay how about we play 'Sorry", you do have that right Sam?" Janet asked.

Sam nodded her head and grabbed the game. But after ten rounds of playing 'Sorry' the girls realized it was no use in even trying to beat me.

"Sorry guys but I spent most of my childhood conning the kids on my street out of money playing board games and poker, and card tricks, I'm an expert at these games," I stated, snickering.

"All right why don't we move on to painting each other's nails before we decided to kill her," Sam grumbled, putting the board games away.

I stuck my tongue out at her, and Janet got the bottles of nail polish out of her bag. We each picked a color, mine being blue and red, Sam's being orange and green, Janet's being pink and purple, and Sha're's being white and black. Sam painted my nails, while Janet painted Sha're's, then when mine and Sha're's nails were dry we painted Sam and Janet's nails.

"Okay so what now?" Sha're asked, standing up.

I smiled evilly, a smile worthy of a true super villain, and moved over to the couch and grabbed my pillow.

"PILLOW FIGHT!!!!" I shouted, whacking Sam in the back with the pillow.

The three-woman raced to grab their pillows, while being constantly whacked by my pillow. They finally managed to get their pillows and then it was a free for all. We hit whoever was closest to us. I laughed when I hit Janet in the back of the head and her hair frizzed up. We kept this up for several more minutes before the four of us collapsed on the ground laughing and giggling.

"Anyone up for watching a movie now?" Janet asked.

"Yeah sure I could go for a movie," Sam replied.

"You guys pick out the movie, I'll go make us some popcorn," I exclaimed, jumping up.

I quickly made the popcorn, put it in a bowl, then raced back into the living room.

"So what movie did you guys pick?" I asked, sitting down on the floor in between Sam and Janet.

"Forest Gump," Sam answered.

"I love this movie," I exclaimed, taking a hand full of popcorn...

~(^.^)~
Several hours later

We'd watched two more movies after the Forest Gump, and now we were all just sitting on the floor. Suddenly a pillow slammed into my face, and I could hear someone running away. I glanced behind the couch to see that it was Sam.

"Did you just... did she just... Oh heck no, get back here," I shouted, grabbing my pillow and chasing after her.

And so, started another pillow fight. This one lasting longer than the other, mostly because we'd stop and sit down for a few seconds before one of us would ambush another, which got the game going again. After almost half an hour of pillow fighting we all just collapsed on the floor, each of us leaning against someone else. I was leaning on Sha're, while she had her head resting on Sam, who in turn was leaning against Janet, who was just lying against the couch with her head resting on top of Sam's head. I yawned and closed my eyes.

"Night," I mumbled.

"Night," Sam, Janet, and Sha're said in-unison.

I could already here light snoring coming from the direction of Sam and Janet, and Sha're's breathing had slowed down slightly indicating that she'd fallen asleep. I yawned and finally followed their example and drifted off to sleep...
