Independence day
Jack had said his goodbyes and turned to face the Stargate.
He knew he did the right thing, Abbydos was free and he didn´t leave Jackson behind.
The man had turned out to be a lot braver then the sneezing geek Jack had thought he had meet for the first time,
28 levels under the big mountain under NORAD.
Jackson had turned out to quite a man and he had saved Jack´s and his men's life, found a way home for them.
No, Daniel Jackson was a good man to have in your ringcorner, no doubt about it.
And the man had nothing to return to. All he had was some ugly clothes and some books.
No, this was Jackson´s paychek. Happiness on an alien planet with an aliengirl.
The people on Abbydos had turned out to be not so alien, but indeed very human.
To want freedom and independence is human.
And now, he left them, to celebrate their very first independence day ever.
He turned around, to see that everything was all right, with them or with himself, he didn´t know.
But when he saw Jackson and Shau´re standing arm in arm, looking very much in love, he knew that everything was all right.
For now.
"See you around…Dr. Jackson."
And Jackson smiled.
Everything was very much allright.
And Jack steeped through.
The end.
*And the rest is, as they say, history*
