In The Pink 3 - The Belle of the Ball
By Julia Alien
A Note From Julia:
This is the third and latest instalment of "In the Pink". I haven't posted this before, so I'd like it if I could have loadsa feedback to spur me on. Thanks for reading, Julia
So Amarelle has just announced that it was time to leave the table and change for the evening's ball.
"Sam, if you could follow me please, I will show you to your dressing room. The men must follow Commander Kantono, and he will show you to yours."
As instructed, Sam followed Amarelle as she swept out of the room and down a long corridor with many multi-coloured doors. The queen turned, and opened an orange one, where some women were waiting to dress her. As they entered the room, Sam saw that there were five women, each holding a piece of cloth, a different colour: Pink, blue, orange, yellow, and red.
"Please choose which colour you would like to wear tonight," Amarelle instructed. "These ladies will then dress you. When you are ready, choose some sandals and accessories. I will return in 30 minutes." And with that she left swiftly to dress herself.
Jonas, Daniel, Teal'c and Jack were taken down along a corridor, up some stairs, and onto a large landing full of identical green doors, each with a symbol on it.
"This is the men's dressing parlour." Commander Kantono spoke for the first time. He had a deep gruff voice, which sounded like he had a cold. "Please enter the first door. You will be given further instructions." And he left swiftly.
"So.... Danny, which is the first door?" Jack asked. Each of the symbols was unrecognisable to him.
"This one." Daniel said firmly. He had already looked at all of the symbols, and recognised them easily as Goa'uld numbers.
"Right. All for one..." Jack took a deep breath, anticipating something nasty like..... pink (!) though the door, as he turned the handle and they all walked in.
`Hmmmm.....' Sam thought. `The blue is nice, but might clash with my eyes. I refuse to wear yellow or orange, and the pink is disgusting. So that leaves....'
"Red," she said loudly to the woman holding the red cloth, and pointed to it, to make sure the woman understood. Like lightning, the other women quickly stored the other materials and started to remove Sam's clothing!
"Eeeek! I can do it myself! Can I have some privacy please?" The women nodded; they didn't seem to speak. One woman produced a white under-dress and gave it to Sam. They then left all the room temporarily.
The men walked into a room, in which stood four men, holding a fluffy pink robe each, and standing next to a screen. Also in the room stood a man wearing a long, golden tunic, with a large flowery hat on his head.
"I am the head dresser in the palace. I am here to help you dress for tonight. Please step behind a screen each, and change into a robe. There is no need to remove your underwear." Each of the men did as was instructed. When they stepped out from the screen, they all seemed very embarrassed to be wearing a pink robe. They looked ridiculous!
The head dresser then told them, "Could you each now step out of this door back into the parlour, and then each into a different room. For the ball, everyone is dressed in uniform according to their profession. You will each do the same."
They did as instructed, each to find in their room a selection of clothing, and an assistant, also wearing a golden tunic.
The women entered the room again to find Sam wearing the under-dress. They then picked up the red cloth (a deep scarlet colour) and unfolded out to reveal that it was a long piece of cloth, about a metre wide and 6 metres long. Sam soon discovered that this was to be woven round her like a dress. In one of the few moments Sam had actually listened to Amarelle at dinner, she had heard this was the traditional dress for women at the ball.
Round, under, over, up, twist, down, round, up, and twist went the fabric, and then the dress was finished. There were, however, no mirrors in this room, so she didn't know what she looked like. The women left the room again, to arrive back with a small mirror, a display of jewellery, and a display of shoes (carried by two women).
Sam finally decided on a gold necklace encrusted with rubies and some gold sandals, which matched very well with the outfit. She still couldn't tell what she looked like fully, as the mirror was only small.
As they finished dressing, each of the men of SG-1 stepped out of their respective room and into the parlour. Looking each other up and down, they decided they looked okay, and in silent unanimity, they agreed this planet wasn't so bad after all. At that moment, Commander Kantono appeared and asked them to follow him. They walked down the same staircase they'd come up earlier and along another long corridor. Kantono led them to the top of a large, sweeping staircase leadingdown to the ballroom. The ballroom itself was covered in golden cloth, and deep pink flowers in wreaths were hung all over the room. Kantono gestured towards Amarelle, who was sitting on a throne-like chair on the other side of the ballroom, and then he left down a corridor to their right.
"There's something fishy about him, I just can't put my finger on it," Jack said as he, Teal'c, Jonas and Daniel walked down the stairs into the crowd of important looking people.
"I concur O'Neill." Teal'c stated. "He does not say much. He may be hiding something."
"I don't think so Teal'c," Jonas said, shaking his head.
"I agree with Jonas. People who are concealing something usually talk too much, rather than not at all. He may be just naturally stoic," Daniel said, with a glance at Teal'c. Teal'c just raised an eyebrow.
The ballroom was large, so it was only as they got nearer to Amarelle that Daniel saw Amarelle in her full beauty.
"Woah!" He stopped, mid step, causing Jonas, Jack and consequently Teal'c to bump into him from behind.
"Hey! What's the hold up?" Jack had to raise his voice over the noise of the chattering in the room and the enthusiastic band in the corner.
Daniel didn't reply, just stood there with his mouth open staring at Amarelle. She was wearing a long, baby pink dress, which had a slit up the side, revealing her long legs, and the top was very low cut. I'll say no more - you get the idea. Amarelle gave a little wave as she noticed the men through the crowd, and Jack pushed Daniel in the back a little to snap him out of it.
"Come on space monkey, lets get this over with," Jack whispered in his ear as they walked over to her.
"Greetings Daniel, Jack, Jonas, Teal'c." She flashed a special smile at Daniel, seeing his handsome attire.
The women led Sam to the top of the ballroom stairs and then left silently. She spotted the men from across the room, and noted how attractive they all looked. Daniel was wearing a sort of tight tunic, in a stone colour, which accentuated his body. Jonas' top was tighter than Daniel's though, but of the same stone colour. He was, however, wearing some loose trousers and not a tunic. Teal'c was wearing the same loose trousers, but leaf green, with a sash over his shoulder. When her eyes moved onto Jack, she took a sharp, deep breath and a step back. He looked... gorgeous. He was wearing the same as Teal'c, but it looked a lot better than him. Sam was sure that it would show off his lovely chest muscles (mmmm) and his well toned arms.
Back over the other side of the room, all the men had their backs to the staircase, so they didn't see Sam as she descended the staircase. Amarelle, however, did, and told them all to turn around to see who was coming down the stairs. Teal'c turned round and raised his eyebrow. Jonas turned round, and raised both his eyebrows. "Wow!" Daniel exclaimed as he turned round and raised his eyebrows, his eyes wide in shock and exclaimed.
Jack turned round, sharply inhaled in shock, took a step back, tripped over backwards, put his hands out and pulled down two waiters and an unsuspecting `guitarist', and still ended flat on the floor with a loud Smack!
The End So far... but I'd really like some feedback people! It really encourages me to keep writing!
