Spoilers: None that I know of… but anything in season 10 or earlier is fair game.

A/N: First in a series, it shouldn't be too long for the next chapters to be added.

As Daniel sat at a table in the commissary; Vala walked over and sat down next to him, carrying a tray loaded with food, including a large pile of spaghetti.

"Vala, you're not going to eat all that, are you?"

"Not at all, some of that's for you."

Daniel stared off; thinking about how much Vala had changed since they had first met. Before, she had been more likely to try to steal something from him, instead of giving him something. He didn't have much time to think however, as Vala soon distracted him.

"Daniel? Are you okay? It's only food."

"I'm fine."

The sound of a spoon clanging on metal soon broke the usual sounds in the commissary, and Daniel and Vala looked over to see Major Brown of SG-8 looking at the now empty spaghetti plate at the counter. He looked around the room, but soon looked back to the counter, and found something else to eat.

"Vala, you didn't take all of the spaghetti, did you?"

"Of course not, I left at least a scoop."

Daniel had soon finished the food that he had got for himself, and as soon as his tray was empty, Vala quickly scooped some of her spaghetti onto it.

Whatever food Daniel didn't want, Vala quickly ate herself, so it didn't take long for the rest of their food to disappear. Daniel picked up his tray, then gave Vala a quick kiss on the cheek, and whispered in her ear.

"Thanks for the food, but next time, you don't need to bring quite that much."

Several days later…

Daniel walked up to the door of his office, but before he could open the door, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see who it was, but there was no one in the hallway, at least not to the side that the tap came from.

"Over here."

He turned to his other side, only to find Vala's face, complete with smile, only about an inch away from his own. She gave him a quick kiss, then backed away to a more reasonable distance. Daniel thought about telling her not to surprise him like that, but then after a second, decided not to.

"Hello, Vala."

"Is it time to stare at old stuff again?"

"They're artifacts… but yes, it's that time."

"Well, actually it would be you staring at the artifacts, while I sit on the table and wait for you."

Daniel didn't respond, as he knew that was what was going to happen, and it had been that way for pretty much as long as Vala had been on the base. He opened the door, and saw a somewhat large, unidentified artifact sitting in Vala's usual spot, along with a note.

Vala rushed over to the artifact before Daniel could reach it, and picked up the note.

"Found on P5R-87C, sitting next to the DHD, no sign of other things of interest. Major Brown, SG-8."

Daniel looked at the artifact for a few seconds before speaking.

"I wish they would just leave it where it was, and just leave a note for an archeology team to pick it up."

"What's wrong with what they did?"

"You can't know exactly where it was located if you don't take precise notes."

"It was next to the DHD."

"Yes, but was it to the left of the DHD? In front of it, or behind it?"

Daniel mumbled some other stuff that Vala couldn't hear, then cleared off some stuff on the table and moved the artifact so that Vala could sit down, which she did as soon as Daniel let go of the artifact. Vala watched Daniel examine it for a few seconds, and then picked up a magazine she had left there earlier.

Several minutes later, Daniel looked very closely at a part of the artifact, before looking over at Vala.

"There's some sort of door in it."

She put down her magazine and looked back at Daniel.

"What did you say, Daniel?"

"There's a door in the artifact."

"Can you open it?"

"That is what I'm trying to figure out."

He looked around for another minute, before finding some sort of latch on one side of the door. By this time Vala was actually interested in it, and was now standing next to Daniel's chair, looking at the door.

"This should do it."

He pulled it open a tiny bit and grabbed a flashlight to look inside.

"What's in it?"

"It looks empty, just black"

"Maybe the treasure is hidden in another compartment."

"I don't think it has any treasure in it, Vala."

However, this did not seem to lower her interest in it, though Daniel was not sure whether it was the artifact, or himself that kept her standing next to him.

"I don't see anything dangerous in it."

"Good."

Daniel pulled the door open, and a large amount of spaghetti and meatballs immediately shot out, splattering all over Daniel and Vala, and a meatball rolled under the wardrobe behind them.

"Nothing dangerous, huh?"

Daniel just sat there and stared at the artifact, though considering the amount of sauce on his glasses, he probably couldn't see it.

"There's another note inside."

"Now what?"

Vala shook several noodles out of her hair, and reached into the artifact and grabbed the note, then handed it to Daniel. He tried to wipe the sauce off of his glasses, but it didn't do much, other than smear it around.

"You read it, I can't see a thing."

Vala unfolded the note, which only said a few words.

"I hope that's enough spaghetti. -- Major Brown."

Daniel groaned when he heard what the note said.

"And here, let me help with those."

Vala snatched the glasses right off of Daniel's face, and then spit on them to help clean them. After checking that they were wet enough, she wiped them on a clean part of Daniel's shirt, getting most of the sauce off.

"Thanks. And I think you took too much spaghetti a few days ago."

Vala didn't seem to hear him, as she was busy picking noodles off of Daniel's shirt and face, and then eating them.

"Vala?"

"You know, spaghetti and Daniel tastes pretty good, you should try some."
