Why This Must Be Read: Sam-in-command at Atlantis, on a mission with Teyla to rescue the rest of her team after Teyla has accidentally sold them...
Great bonding between the two women, entertaining world-building, a deft and humorous touch, and a tagline that will leave you giggling. Even if, like me, you're not an SGA fan, you'll still love this one!
Sam saw Teyla walk out of the Stargate without her team, and braced for trouble. She did not expect Teyla to step through the doorway of her office a moment later with her lips pressed together and her eyes glimmering with suppressed laughter.
When she could speak calmly, Teyla said, "I am very afraid that I appear to have sold my teammates."
Sam pushed the laptop away, sat back and blinked at her. As a veteran of many less-than-successful SG-1 missions, there was only one thing she could say under those circumstances.
"What did you get for them?"
"Forty head of theurox cattle and a ranch to keep them on," Teyla said.
Sam raised an eyebrow. "Why did you want --"
"It is a very long story."
"Well, I accidentally traded Daniel for a basket of dinner rolls one time. That didn't go in the official reports." Sam pushed back her chair, then paused and raised her head to catch Teyla's eye with a grin. "I don't suppose we can leave them there?"
Teyla gave it just long enough that she really seemed to be considering it, but Sam was learning to read her well enough to see the amusement in her face. Finally she sighed. "I fear not."
