Please review and please No Flames.
This Story is an AU story! Daniel's Parents are alive in this one! Instead of Daniel Jackson Opening the Gate in 1994, his Parents figure out how to open the gate in 1973 when Daniel is 8 years old after getting called to the secret base in Colorado Springs.
Summary: Daniel Jackson lives in Colorado Springs with his parents who are Archaeologists. His Parents run the Archaeology Department at the SGC and they are also on SG-1 as their linguists and diplomats. Daniel is only on base after school where he does his homework in the briefing room. Though he is a shy and quite boy, he always seems know what you need before you even tell him what it is you need.
I definitely do not own any of the quotes that are mentioned through out this chapter and in future chapters
Chapter 1- 1973
Clair and Melburn Jackson were working in an Exhibit in the New York Museum of Art that was suppose to open in a couple of weeks, when Clair noticed that the large object that they were placing on top of four columns wobbled dangerously.
Then the chain snapped. Clair watched as their exhibit collapsed in front of them.
She and her husband were lucky that they weren't standing underneath the structure when it collapsed.
Just as they were coming out of shock, their small, pale looking 8 year old boy who they had named Daniel, came over to them.
He had been watching his parents from a far distance. After seeing what had happened to the display, Daniel was a little shaken.
Daniel knew that if his parents had been under the structure, he would be parentless.
Though he had seen what had happened to the structure, he wanted know exactly how it had happened.
"What happened to the structure mommy?" Daniel asked hoping his parents would tell him.
"The structure wasn't very stable Danny so when the chain snapped and dropped the cover stone, the columns collapsed" his father said.
Daniel nodded at his father's response to his question and hugged his father.
After telling the curator what had happened to the exhibit, the Jacksons decided to head home for the day.
After entering their large apartment house, the phone in their kitchen started ringing.
Mr. Jackson turned to Daniel.
"Danny, you are not in trouble but I need you to go to your bedroom and stay there for awhile. Ok son?" Mr. Jackson said.
Daniel did as his father told him to do and went to his bedroom.
After Daniel had gone into his bedroom, Dr. Jackson picked up the extension line.
"We need you and your husband to come to Colorado Springs" General Hammond said to Clair on the phone.
"I would like to know why sir?" she said.
"It has something to do with what we have found Dr. Jackson in Giza in 1928" General Hammond said.
The conversation on the phone went on about the object that had been found in Giza for at least an hour before Clair told the General about their son Daniel.
The General said it wouldn't be a problem if they brought Daniel with them as long as he behaved himself.
The Jacksons agreed and told the General that Daniel was a shy and quiet boy of 8 years old and that they would be in Colorado Springs in a couple of days.
A couple of days later, the Jackson Family found themselves in Colorado Springs.
There was a car waiting for the Jacksons at the airport.
An hour or so later, they found themselves beneath Cheyenne Mt and in the briefing room.
In the briefing room, Dr. Jackson, Clair and Daniel who was to be taken to the infirmary to be looked after by Dr. Frasier, were introduced to several Airforce Officers and General Hammond.
"Have a seat people. Before we continue this meeting, I am just waiting for Colonel Jack O'Neill, Captain Samantha "Sam" Carter, and Dr./Captain Lexi Finn to arrive." Hammond said.
As he spoke, three people entered the briefing room.
The three Officers took their seats and waited for the General to start.
The Jacksons minus Daniel who was in the infirmary with Dr. Frasier, looked at the three people and smiled.
The General cleared his throat and started speaking.
"Colonel O'Neill, Captain Carter and Dr./Captain Finn these two people are Dr. Melburn Jackson and his wife Dr. Clair Jackson and they will be the ones to translate the coverstone symbols." General Hammond explaned to the group.
Later that day in the Commissionary.........
8 year old Daniel Jackson was reading a book on Ancient Egypt while eating a sandwich and something else he couldn't really identify but the airman who was on kitchen duty said it was a veggie, when three people sat down around him.
Daniel didn't look up from his book even when Mr. O'Neill said something to him the first time.
"Hey, buddy, what is your name?" Jack asked again thinking that the boy hadn't heard him the first time.
Daniel looked up and saw the Colonel looking at him.
"Daniel Jackson um eh sir" Daniel stuttered over the last few words.
Jack smiled at the boy who was sitting across from him. "Danny call me Jack. You don't have to call me sir or Colonel, the only people who have to say that are these two people and other lower ranking Airforce Officers" Jack said pointing at Sam and Lexi.
Daniel nodded as he took a bite of his sandwich and went back to his book.
Lexi Finn looked at the boy and noticed the book he was reading.
"Daniel-" she was interrupted by the small boy.
"Please call me Danny, Captain Finn" he said softly.
"Ok Danny, so Danny what are you reading there?" Finn asked before adding "Please call me Finn Danny".
"A book about Ancient Egypt, my parents are Archaeologists and Linguists" he said excitedly.
While their son was with the three Airforce Officers in the Commissionary, Dr. Jackson and Claire were in a large room with a large circular cover stone that had Ancient symbols on it.
Near by there was a chalkboard with hieroglyphs written on it and by the looks of it, it looked like some one had already translated the writing.
Claire Jackson went up to the chalkboard and began reading it to her self. After she was done.
"Mel, some one already translated this and by the looks of they used Budge and why they keep on reprinting his books is beyond me. Mel this translation is wrong, it should read: A million years into the sky is Ra, Sun God. Sealed and buried for all time his Stargate." Mrs. Jackson said correcting the Translation.
Dr. Jackson nodded to her and went on working on the other symbols that were on the cover stone.
One week later, they discovered that the symbols that were on the stone were Star Constellations.
Later that same day, the two Dr.s explained what the star constellations stood for and that the constellations on the coverstones form an address by which to chart a course through space using Earth as a point of origin.
General Hammond decides to tell them about the Stargate.
And that is where this chapter of the story ends. Like I said in the beginning, this chapter is based off of the Original Stargate Movie. I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE OUT THE REST BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE MOVIE.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE ORIGINAL MOVIE:
If you want to know what happens at the end I recommend that you watch the Stargate Movie starring James Spade and Kurt Russell.
This Story is an AU STARGATE SG-1 STORY.
