HIGHER PLAINS
Daniel and Orlan meet up in the higher plains as they are watching over their friends.
"Hey, I know you." A familiar voice sounded in Daniels general direction. He turned around to see Orlan standing there.
"Daniel Jackson. Your Orlan." Daniel said.
"Your Samantha Carter's friend. From earth."
"Yes." Daniel said.
"Humans don't evolve that quickly." He stated, firmly but not unkindly. "How did you get here?"
Daniel's mouth formed a straight line and squinted his eyes a little bit. "let's just say that I got a little help."
"Oma Descella?" Orlan asked, already knowing the answer.
Daniel glanced over him quickly. "How did you know?"
"Samantha told me that she helps ascend those who exist on the lower plains."
"She did?" He asked.
"Yes, when I was down there before. Since my second ascension, I've been here this whole time looking down at her."
"Yes, I find that despite the white light and bright colours that seem to irritate my supposedly new and improved vision, I find some comfort looking down at my friends knowing they're okay." He turned back around to face away from the bright horizon.
"She misses you so much." Orlan told him, honestly and openly.
"Yeah. And she's got Jonas and Teal'c to pick up the pieces."
"And the one you call O'Neill?"
Daniels eyebrows disappeared above his hairline as he turned back to the rising sun. "Jack doesn't do emotion so well."
"Oh." Orlan said, "Is that why he ignores her?"
"They're military. Emotion is suppose to stay beneath the surface otherwise they risk being emotionally compromised."
"Oh. But it's so hard not to love her." Orlan stated walking towards Daniel.
"Yeah, I know."
"Its been such a long time since I've felt the sting of love."
Daniel smiled at Orlan knowing exactly what he means. Daniel gazed down from the higher plains and zeroed his vision on Sam. She was so beautiful.
"She'll be okay this time."
"How can you know?"
"she's got two guardian angels watching over her."
