"So it's all agreed, we'll have a girl's night on the first and last night of Daedalus' visit," said Elizabeth, the others agreed.

"Did anyone else see that film...oh what was it called...it was all about women who got their own got their own back on their husbands?" said Laura.

"The First Wives Club" replied Emma, Laura sat up

"That's it, we need something like that"

"I saw that film too, I liked the song they sang at the end "You Don't Own Me"" said Kate.

"Oh I saw that too, I think I've got the soundtrack" said Elizabeth, she went over to her CD collection and started to hunt through it "Ah here it is". She put it on and the voices of Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton began to sing about women and attitude.

"Brilliant, that song is us" said Lindsey. Laura nodded

"Yes that's us, we are women do what we want, when we want, and to whom we want," Laura said with a wink "The "You Don't Own Me" Club". The other women cheered, Elizabeth raised her glass

"Ladies I bring to an end the first meeting of the You Don't Own Me Club" she said, the others raised their glasses and toasted their new club

The Next Day

Sheppard picked up his breakfast tray and went to join McKay, Carson, Major Lorne, Ronan and Colonel Caldwell at a table, as he passed Laura Cadman and Lindsey Novak they started to giggle. He looked over his shoulder and frowned at them and they started to laugh even more. He joined the others as Lindsey and Laura went and joined the other women on another table,

"I think we're in trouble," he said as he sat down

"Huh" said Rodney, Sheppard nodded towards the group of laughing women.

"I know they had a girls night last night, I overheard Elizabeth ask Teyla to join them and I have a feeling they trashed us" he said, the women were nudging each other, pointing and laughing.

"I thought my ears were burning," said Carson.

Dr Lindsey Novak marched into the Daedalus' engine room whistling and she starts to run through her pre-flight checks.

"Dr Novak why are you blowing air through your lips in that manner" asked Hermiod,

"It's called whistling and I'm doing it because I'm happy" she replied

"Did you do something that made you happy last night" he asked. Novak grinned

"Yes and I had a wonderful time" she went over to Hermiod's console and leaned her elbow on it. She rested her chin on her hand "you don't have women on your planet do you?" she said. Hermiod's eyes widened and he shook his head,

"We do not have different genders we have no need" he replied, Lindsey smiled at him

"Then you have no idea how much we girls need time with other women when we are surrounded by men all day" Hermiod shook his head. "One day when we have a few hours to spare I'll explain what a Girls Night is to you" she said and carried on whistling You Don't Own Me, Hermiod sighed, if he spent the rest of his days among humans he would never understand them, human females would take two lifetimes to understand.

In the Lab Dr Miko Kusanagi was singing softly in Japanese. She had strolled into the lab earlier with her head held high, she'd winked at Radek, blew a kiss at Rodney and thrown a used tea bag at Kavanaugh, she had then whispered and giggled through Rodney's briefing like a naughty schoolgirl. Rodney raised his eyebrows at Radek and then looked at Miko; Radek shrugged and shook his head, unable to contain his curiosity any longer Rodney crossed over to Miko's desk.

"Goodnight last night?" he asked, Miko stopped singing and looked Rodney in the eye, he was surprised because Miko usually kept her eyes down when she talked to him.

"Very nice thank you" she replied

"What did you do?" he asked, casually

"I spent time with Dr Weir and some of the women of Atlantis and the Daedalus" she said

"So it was a bitching session then" he said. Miko grinned

"We did talk about some Atlantis Personnel, yes" she said, Rodney swallowed

"Did you talk about me?" he asked. Miko burst out laughing making other scientists look up, they weren't used to hearing Miko laugh, usually Rodney made her cry.

"Oh yes I talked about you, the other women really liked hearing about you" she said with a smirk. A flash of fear squashed the ego that was swelling in Rodney's chest when he saw the evil glint in her eye; she reached her arm around his waist and pinched his arse. Radek looked up sharply as he heard Rodney yelp, he saw him back away from Miko, his cheeks flushed. Miko carried on singing You Don't Own Me, this time in English. Radek bent his head over his computer so Rodney couldn't see him laughing.

"Good night last night Major?" asked Colonel Steven Caldwell

"Beg pardon Sir?" said Major Emma Cooper.

"You've been humming that little ditty ever since you came on board" he said. Emma grinned

"Yes sir Dr Novak and I met up with some of the women from Atlantis and we...well we had some fun" she said

"At my expense?" he remarked. Emma's lips twitched as she though back to Elizabeth's reaction to her story,

"No sir not just you, we had fun at the expense of a lot of other people too" she said with a smile.

"Hmm I'm not sure if I like this side of you Major" he replied teasingly, Emma turned to look at him and grinned

"Sir you have no idea of what I can do" she replied. Steven Caldwell wasn't sure whether he wanted to know or not but he did know he was going to watch his back whenever she was in this mood.

Laura Cadman was whistling whilst cleaning her P-90.

"Missed you at the game last night Cadman" said Major Lorne "after all the fuss you made I thought you'd never miss one", he was also cleaning his weapon.

"I had other things to do, much more satisfying than poker" she said with a grin. Lorne smirked at her

"Oh yeah I thought you were with 'the girls' all night" he said

"I was"

"Oh and that was more satisfying was it" he said with a leer. Laura tutted

"Major Major Major" she sighed "when will you ever get your mind out of the gutter, it's amazing how similar we women are". She got up crossed over to where he was sitting and sat astride his lap, "Y'see you may be my CO and all that but I decide what I do, when I do it," she licked her lips "and with whom" she started kissing him. "That's something you guy's have got to get used to, You Don't Own Us"

"God bless women's lib" murmured Lorne.

Dr Kate Heightmeyer was humming softly

"Pretty tune you've got there lass" said Carson Beckett.

"Thank you Carson, I like it" she replied

"So did you have fun last night?" he asked. Kate smiled thoughtfully

"It was an interesting experience, professionally speaking" she said, Carson arched his eyebrows

"Professionally speaking?" he queried

"Yes, a lot of repression was unburdened last night I think, call it group therapy if you will" she said with a smirk "if fact I'm going to recommend it to the SCG. I'm sure Colonel Carter and Dr Lam can come up with something..." she ran her tongue over her top lip "interesting. I'm sure that will be a report worth reading" Carson grinned.

"If we're talking medical practises here, I'd like to see a report about last nights activities, seeing as I'm the CMO and you're going to be reporting your findings to the SGC" he said hopefully. He'd love to know what went on last night. Kate grinned and leant closer to him

"If you read that report you'd be on my couch for a month" she whispered. Carson gulped.

Teyla Emmagen was singing to herself as she was checking the emergency supplies in the Puddle Jumpers.

"Is that something your Grandmother taught you?" asked Ronan. Teyla smiled

"No it is something the women of Earth taught me" she replied. Ronan frowned

"Earth songs have no soul, no story" he remarked, she smiled

"A lot of Earth songs say what you want to hear, to me this song says I am free, I do not need you to tell me how to live my life, I do not belong to you" she replied. Ronan laughed

"I can't see you belonging to anyone" he said

"I am lucky that I was bought up to believe that I am equal to a man, some women are not as lucky, even on Earth" she said.

"So you are going to preach freedom from men to the women of the galaxy" he said

"No I have too much work to do here" she said with a smirk. Ronan frowned

"Meaning me" he growled

"You are learning to appreciate women" she said. He grinned lustily "but there are others that need teaching" she smiled "Sgt Stackhouse could do with a few lessons" she murmured. Ronan growled again and advanced towards her,

"You are not going to teach him anything " he said. She put her hand on his chest and kept him at arms length,

"You are my lover Ronan Dex you do not own me, unless you'd like to try make me a good, obedient woman" she said. Several people had reported seeing Ronan chase a laughing Teyla down the corridor, several more people warned Carson to expect one or both of them in the infirmary later on.

Elizabeth was in her office, she was humming a tune to herself as she worked on her computer. She'd received several emails from her friends recommending other women to join the You Don't Own Me Club, this was going to be a fun project.

"Hi Elizabeth, have a fun night with the girls?" said John Sheppard

"Yes I did, in fact we're planning to have more next time the Deadalus comes in" she replied

"I take it we, the men, got trashed" he said, Elizabeth laughed

"You don't really expect me to answer that do you?" she said

"No I don't" he replied "but I have to tell you, I've been getting some strange reports since this morning" Elizabeth donned her diplomat's mask. It seemed the women were obeying Rule 1, Go out and give attitude to any man you meet.

"Really, you'll have to let me have a look later on" she said. John smirked and perched himself on her desk

"Your place or mine?" he said. Elizabeth sighed and put her hand on his chest,

"Back off Romeo" she said, John pouted and gave her his 'Kicked Puppy' look, it always worked for him. "Forget it John, it's not going to work on me", he sighed, he'd been so used to getting his own way with the women on the base that this new attitude he'd been seeing was un-nerving. He knew Elizabeth was behind it, he needed some guy time and he knew just the guys to help him restore the status quo.

"Ok boss, you'll have my reports by this evening" he said as he turned round to leave. Elizabeth smirked, she had him just where she wanted him. John smiled as he sent emails throughout the city, soon he'd have her just where he wanted.
