Author's Summary:
This was not about Jack's ego.
Why This Must Be Read:
Written for Jack Alpha-Bit soup.
Turns out the natives of P2W-280 had no interest in older people and the silver in Jack's hair put him firmly in that category. While Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c had lovely (young) people hanging all over them, Jack had to wear a Pepto-Bismal pink robe and gets one old crone to hang out with. Then, of course, chaos happens.
It's cute and humorous!
"This is not about my ego."
Daniel spared him a glance from the dancing girls. "Of course it isn’t." which Jack translated as Daniel-speak for "Of course it is."
"This is about inappropriate stereotyping."
"Uh huh."
"Downright bigotry."
"Yep."
"Just because I have a few grey hairs doesn’t mean I’m..." He waved a hand in the air, searching for the best word.
"Old?" Daniel supplied.
"Distinguished," Jack corrected with a glare that went completely unnoticed by the recipient and the rest of his team.
The fact that the grey hairs in question--silver, the distinguished part of him insisted--were caused by said ungrateful team was not lost on Jack.
Sadly, the fact that he was currently wearing a pink dress couldn’t be lost either.
