Disclaimer: Stargate sg-1 is the property of MGNand.. Well... you know the rest.
A/N: That aside, this is set in season 4 after upgrades, parings: S/J. Description: they get glued togetheron a mission and have to find out how to get unstuck. A bit of humour is haded (well my type of humour anyway). Hope you like it.
PS: don't forget to review afterwards...
PS 2: Oh and I should mention that this chapter isn't betayed so sorry for all my mistakes I did my best to get ride of most of them but no doubt I mist a few. If you find mistakes absolutely unbearable to read in a fic than I advice you to turn back now because I stick at grammar and stuff like that.

Opposites attract
Chapter 1: A new problem arises
"How much further is this place?!" Jack complained. They had been walking on the alien planet for the last two hours and if the colonel wasn't angry before they left, he definitely was now. Although, technically he wasn't mad, he was frustrated. Only a few days ago, they helped the Tock'ra with an experience with some armbands that could enhance their physical abilities. He was so close to admitting the one thing he swore he would never say, so close to saying he loved her. He might not have said it out loud, Jack thought, but the way he looked at her and her at him... they didn't have to say anything, that look said it all. He knew for a while that he had feelings for his 2IC and had realised that she actually had feelings for him too when she kissed him back when they were stuck in the time loop. If anything, what happened on the ship was just a confirmation of what he already knew. But it was also a reminder of what could never be. And that was the problem, the reason why he was frustrated, Jack realised.
"It's only another mile sir." Sam answered bluntly. Jack realised he wasn't the only one who was in a bad mood and he figured the rest of sg-1 wasn't oblivious to the tension between them. In fact, Daniel had come to see him the other day to convince him to go talk to Sam. Jack simply said that there was nothing to talk about. So, instead of trying to work things out, he avoided Sam and, of what he heard, she had been doing the same. It was working... until they had to go on this stupid mission.
"Would someone please tell me why on earth we even have to go on this mission!" Jack said.
"The UAV showed some ruins that I think might have been built by the ancients." Daniel answered enthusiastically.
"Let me rephrase that, could you tell me a good reason."
"Jack, these are the ancients we're talking about! The gate builders!"
"Ya, so?"
"Just image all we could learn from them!"
"Didn't you tell me these where ruins we're going to visit?"
"Yes... but what does that have to do with anything?"
"So there aren't going to be any ancients around to tell us stuff."
"I meant what we could learn of what they left behind." Daniel said, rolling his eyes.
"Boring... now a huge honking space gun on the other hand..."
"It's always about weapons with you, isn't it?!"
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
"Oh and it isn't?"
"Yes Daniel, wanting to find something that can save earth is a bad thing." Jack said sarcastically.
"Enough!" Teal'c finally spoke up. Everybody stopped walking and turned to look at the jaffa in shock. It wasn't like him to get impatient. "This bickering must cease!"
"Sorry Teal'c."Daniel said.
"I am not the one in need of your forgiveness Doctor Jackson." Teal'c answered before resuming their walk, Sam followed him with a small smile. Jack and Daniel looked at each other and then back at Teal'c. They continued to walk in an awkward silence before Daniel finally spoke up.
"I'm sorry Jack."
"Ya, me too. I just..." Jack answered
"I know." Daniel said quickly.
Sam smiled at their interaction and Teal'c had a satisfied look on his face. They walked a short distance before they finally made it to the ruins.
"All right, you guys do your geek stuff while Teal'c and I check out the surroundings." Jack said. "And don't touch anything!" He added after he started walking away with Teal'c right behind him.
"This is amazing!" Daniel exclaimed. They had only just arrived twenty minutes ago and the archeologist had already spread out his things like if he had been there for hours. "Look at this place!" He added in the midst of translating.
"I know. These energy readings indicate a strong energy source." Sam put in. "I think it's coming from inside that structure." She added, pointing to the only building that was still intact. She started to walk toward it and Daniel was soon behind her. The building in question was simple enough. It was a single large room and, in the middle, stood a pedestal with two silver looking cubes on it.
"I think there's some type of writing on these." Daniel said looking at one of the cubes. "But it's too small, I can't make it out." He added placing his fingers over the rough surface.
"Hey!" A voice yelled behind them. They both jumped in surprised and looked at the door. "I told you not to touch anything." Jack said after taking a few steps into the room with Teal'c right behind him. Daniel immediately backed away from the artefact.
"I was just looking at it." He answered innocently.
"Right. What is this thing anyway?" The colonel said.
"I'm not sure." Sam answered. "I'm detecting a magnetic field."
"So?" Jack asked now standing next to his 2IC.
"It wasn't there before. And it's getting bigger." Sam said. "This doesn't make any sense."
"You'll figure it out." Jack said, patting her on the back. In an instant, the two cubes collided together.
"Whoa!" Jack yelled. "What just happened?"
"I don't know sir."
"Uhhh, Jack..." Daniel started, staring at the two officers.
"What?" Jack asked. The archeologist simply pointed at the way Jack's hand was still resting on Sam's shoulder. Jack realised what Daniel was trying to say and tried to take his hand off. When it wouldn't obey, he used his other hand to pull of the first.
"Sir?" Sam asked worried.
"It's stuck!" He exclaimed, still pulling on his arm.
"What do you mean?" Daniel asked.
"I mean it's stuck as in it's stuck!"
"How?" Daniel asked.
"Excellent question Daniel, but for now can you just help me out here." Daniel hurriedly came over to help but it didn't do much.
"All right, let's try something else. Carter, take off your vest."Jack ordered. He figured it would be better to walk around with a vest stuck to his hand instead of the alternative.
"Uhhh sir." Sam said hesitantly. "It's stuck between your hand and my shoulder."
"Daniel, pack up. We're heading back." Jack sighed.
"But we just got here!" The archeologist argued.
"We can always come back once we get this whole thing figured out."
"Colonel O'Neill, I believe it would be wise to take the artefact with us." Teal'c said.
"You think it's what caused this?" Daniel asked.
"Well the cubes did slam into each other at the same time that we got stuck." Sam said.
"All right, grab the cube things." Once they had packed everything up, they started their walk back to the gate. For the entire walk to the gate, nobody said anything. They all stayed in an awkward silence. It wasn't the fact that Jack had his hand stuck to his 2IC that had him worried, Jack mussed, no, that part he enjoyed. It was the fact that their current situation would definitely give off the wrong impression once they made it back to the SGC. Like if the rumours weren't bad enough, Jack thought, how on earth was he going to explain this one to Hammond. It was going to be an interesting debriefing. Jack looked around at his team mates, Sam looked deep in thought, probably thinking about the artefact, he thought. Daniel looked equally pensive and Teal'c... looked, well...like Teal'c. When they finally arrived at the gate, Daniel dialled earth and the event horizon swirled to life. Sg-1 steeped through the gate and, before they knew it, they were back at the SGC..
