Author's Note: This may or may not be the first in a series of letters. If there are more, it will be written with me writing Vala's letters, and Annerb writing Sam's. The reason it might not be is that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
annerbhp and I are busy busy people who are contemplating the insanity of finishing fics before deadlines and then, just for kicks, doing NaNoWriMo. :-)
Spoilers: Season 4 of SGA
Rating: Well, this is fairly tame, but you never know with Vala.
Dear Samantha,
I know it's only been a few hours since you left for the Pegasus Galaxy, but I had to get this down on paper before Daniel and I go on our date tonight. (He refuses to acknowledge that it's a date, as usual, but I'll wear him down eventually. After all, when the guy pays for everything, one ought to be able to call it like it is.)
I realized, after you left, that I had completely forgotten to give you the advice I'd picked up over the years about being in a new place.
(Oh! And I just wanted to say that it absolutely does count if you pay the guy back later because you're not allowed to have credit cards anymore. Which really--you could have warned me about just how expensive those shoes were.)
The first thing is to never show fear. Unless you're faking in order to lull your opponent into a false sense of security, in which case it's a good idea to not over-exaggerate. But you're not likely to be double-crossing the Atlantis expedition in order to steal one of their ships, so I doubt this applies.
The second thing is to take advantage of your people. I don't mean that way. Well, I do, but only if he is very hot, and if you can run away quickly when discovered by his wife.
Which leads to my third piece of advice--always know your exits. Atlantis may seem confusing at first, but really, I had no trouble getting around after a few hours. (Although the security teams did start to get a little annoyed the third time I set off the alarms.)
I've got to dash off now, so I'll just seal this letter up and send it once I get back from dinner. Or...breakfast?
Love,
Vala
P.S. I found these in my quarters and thought I should probably return them to you. Shouldn't have left them there--I thought they were mine and almost wore them tonight!

Ha! I now have this mental image of Sam opening that letter in her office, and having to shove the pair of cute blue underwear into her desk drawer when John and Rodney knock on her door.
