The Library

[janet_fraiser]

Janet unlocked the library and walked in, setting her laptop down warily behind the desk and trying not to think about Hathor the last time she was in here. She took a drink from her extra-large mug of coffee and started working.

ETA: She popped out a moment later and stuck a note up on the door: "New teachers need to check out the Rules of Conduct and fill out a library card application in blue or black ink, damn it. Please come inside for a form. Thank you."

Liz hugs Sam back. "I still can't believe it," she laughs.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Why not? You were obviously the best person for the job, even with the mumps." Sam's still grinning.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth giggles slightly. "Doesn't necessarily mean that you'd get elected... have you seen some of our public officials? Would you have considered Kinsey the best man for the job?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Well, you had one of the most determined campaign managers on the planet or any other one, too."

Sam gives a theatrical shudder at the name Kinsey. "I wouldn't have considered Kinsey the best man for any job, let alone the one he managed to lie, cheat, and steal his way into."

"Oh, that's a point... have either of you seen Parker since she went to the clinic last night?" Elizabeth frowns. "I really hope it wasn't her appendix..."

She gives a small, tight smile. "My point exactly."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam shook her head, blushing slightly. "I, um, didn't even notice she'd left, actually."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth tried valiently not to snicker. "Did you notice when Janet and I left?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam lowered her head and mumbled. "Eventually..."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She tried not to laugh. She really did.

But the giggles escaped, and then didn't stop.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam's face was red as a beet now and a smile played around the corners of her mouth, eventually breaking into a wide grin that she couldn't control.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"So," Elizabeth nudges Sam. "Any gossip? I think Janet and I deserve to know after being so thoughtful and leaving you to it."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

*Sam blushes, and elbows Elizabeth* "I...can't really talk about it, until I get John other things taken care of."

She leans over and whispers, "He does have great hands, though."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet grinned widely at Sam. "Well," she said. "That's nice. I'm so glad that worked out for you." She pursed her lips and tried not to laugh. Too much. It's about damn time.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Well, I wouldn't say that it's worked out...more like it's still in the process of working itself out."

Sam almost started humming, but caught herself in time. She'd never, ever hear the end of it.

Janet giggled.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet tries not to make gagging noises. "Don't even get me started about that loathsome creep."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"No. We have absolutely no need to talk about that idiot at all." She nods firmly.

[ooc: It's fun, really, trying to combine Stargate politics with West Wing politics... *headdesks*]

"Hey, Madam Vice President!" Parker cheers when she sees her. "Congratulations!"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She laughs, and turns to Parker. "Thank you... for everything. I couldn't... possibly even wouldn't have done it without you!

How are you feeling today?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"You're very welcome. Have fun being powerful and without regrets. I'm so glad I'm out of it."

Parker mutters, "I'm better. Just pissed off." She rolls her eyes at Zero's decaf comment, then says, "No! It's not decaf! But it's all I'm going to have today, okay? One damn addiction at a time."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She grins. "Vice-president isn't traditionally one with much power, but I'll enjoy what I can."

She raises her eyebrow as Parker snaps, and thinks over what she's just said. "Have you given up smoking, or something?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Tragically, yes. The smoking is no more. Maybe I should make a general storm warning announcement in the cafeteria later." Parker sighs. "Stupid campaign gave me an ulcer."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth looks sympathic. "The perils of politics, unfortunately. And it might be an idea... that way you can claim that you warned them after you've beaten someone for annoying you too much."
