***********************************************
SG-1 was off world over night; they were staying in a village not far from some ruins which Daniel wanted to see. While they were there, there was a wedding going on, so they stayed and the party afterwards. They were enjoying themselves, eating and drinking.
There were bowls of bread, meat and fruit being passed around. Women came with water jugs and made sure everyone's cups were kept full, although Teal'c chose to have rations and the water they had brought with them. He was also watching over his teammates, making sure they didn't get into any trouble.
He saw one of the women walking over to Sam; she refilled her cup and then walked away. However, he was concerned when he noticed that the woman didn't refill anyone else's cup. He made his way towards Sam, who was now talking to two other women. He called out to her when he saw her move to drink from the cup.
"Major Carter!" But Sam didn't hear Teal'c because of the music.
He tried to get to her but it was too late, she had already drunk most of it by the time he got to her .
"Major Carter." She turned to Teal'c and smiled.
"Hi Teal'c. Enjoying the party?" Then she saw the concerned look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"The woman who refilled your cup did not refill anyone else's. I think we should find O'Neill and Daniel Jackson." Sam looked at her cup and then at Teal'c.
"Good idea. Before we do, though …" she pulled out a small test tube and poured some of her drink into it, then sealed it.
"I was planning of getting a sample of the juices anyway." She said as she put the tube into her top pocket.
"Let's go, do you know where they are?"
"Indeed."
Sam followed Teal'c till they were close to where Jack and Daniel were, but before they reached them she suddenly stopped.
"Teal'c -" Teal'c stopped and turned in time to see Sam collapse on the ground.
"Major Carter?" He quickly stepped over to her.
Jack and Daniel were talking to two of the leaders of the village when they heard Teal'c call out Sam's name. They turned to see Teal'c stepping towards Sam's motionless body. They were shocked and ran over to them.
"Teal'c what happened?" Jack asked.
"We must get Major Carter back to the SGC, I think she has been poisoned."
"What?" Jack and Daniel said at the same time. Teal'c quickly picked Sam up.
"A woman poured something into Major Carter's drink and then walked away. I'm sorry O'Neill, I got to her too late."
"What did the woman look like, Teal'c?" One of the leaders asked.
"She was old, with long grey hair."
"I know who you talking about, I'll go and talk to her." The leader told them.
"Teal'c, Daniel, let's go." Jack said.
"Jack, I'll stay here and find out more. If Sam was poisoned this woman might have an antidote."
"Ok Daniel. Teal'c, let's get going."
Jack started walking towards the Stargate with Teal'c behind him carrying Sam in his arms, while Daniel and the leader headed towards where the old woman lived. When Jack reached the DHD he dialled Earth, then sent the iris code through.
"Let's go." They walked up the steps and stepped through the gate. They had just started down the ramp when they heard the intercom:
"Medical team to the gate room, medical team to the gate room."
When they reached the bottom of the steps General Hammond walked into the gate room.
"Colonel, what happened to Major Carter?"
"We think she's been poisoned, sir."
"Poisoned?" Then Janet and her staff ran in. Teal'c laid Sam on the gurney.
"What happened Colonel?" Janet asked.
"Don't know Doc, ask Teal'c." Teal'c opened Sam's top pocket and pulled out the test tube.
"Major Carter was drinking this before she collapsed." He passed it to Dr Fraiser.
"Thanks Teal'c, let's go." Then she followed her staff as they wheeled Sam out of the gate room. Teal'c turned to Jack and General Hammond.
"Teal'c, care to tell me what happened?"
"I noticed a woman walking towards Major Carter. She refilled her cup and then she turned and walked away without refilling anyone else's cup. I was concerned, and tried to get to Major Carter to stop her from drinking whatever was given to her. I was too late, I'm sorry General Hammond, O'Neill."
"It's ok Teal'c. What happened next?" Jack asked.
"I managed to get to Major Carter and told her what I had witnessed, and she pulled out a test tube and filled it with the drink. Then she followed me to where Daniel Jackson and O'Neill stood. We were close to their position when she called out my name, and I turned around to see her collapsing on the ground."
"Daniel and I heard Teal'c call Carter's name and we saw her on the ground. Teal'c picked her up and we came back." Jack added.
"Dr Jackson?"
"He's staying behind to find out what the woman put in Carter's drink. The leader knows who the woman is."
"Very well. Dismissed."
"Yes sir." Then they left the gate room and walked down to the infirmary to find out the latest on Sam.
When they walked in they saw Sam lying there with an IV and heart monitor attached to her. Janet saw them come in so she went over to them.
"Doc, how is she?" Jack asked.
"She seems to be sleeping, I've tried everything to wake her up, but nothing is working. I'm waiting for the results of the analysis of the juice to come back."
"Thanks Doc."
"Come on, I'll get the nurses to give you both your shots, then you can go and have a shower. When you're done you can come back." Janet told them.
They walked over to two gurneys to have their post-mission injections and normal examinations.
When they were done, Jack and Teal'c went down to the locker room for a shower, and then, when they were dressed in clean BDUs, they returned to the infirmary to visit Sam. Jack sat down looking at her while Teal'c sat in a chair on the other side of the bed. They were quiet, listening to the monitor as it beeped. After ten minutes the alarms went off.
"Well, if the alarms won't wake her up then I don't know what will." Jack commented. Teal'c looked at Jack and raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed."
"Doctor Fraiser should have gotten the results back by now."
"Perhaps it will take longer, since the juice came from off-world?" Teal'c suggested.
"Yeah, you could be right there Teal'c." A couple of minutes later Daniel ran into the infirmary.
"Daniel?"
"We have a problem."
"Daniel!" Jack looked at him.
"I spoke to the woman. She told me the reason she gave Sam the drink was because she can see into her soul."
"Daniel?" Just then General Hammond walked in and over to the bed.
"She said only Major Carter's true love can wake her."
"What… like in sleeping beauty?" Jack asked.
"Yes." Jack turn to General Hammond.
"Sir, can you contact Detective Shanahan?"
"I'll get Walter to make the call." He called the control room.
"Jack, are you sure it's wise to call him?" Daniel asked.
"Well you did say her true love." He stood up.
"I'm going to get some coffee." Jack said and left the infirmary.
General Hammond hung up the phone and returned to Sam's bedside. "Dr Jackson, is there anything else I should know?"
"Yes… when I asked the woman what she meant, she said that Sam loves one man more than the other, and the kiss will reveal who her true love, her soul mate, is."
"Any idea who she is talking about?"
"Yes sir, I do."
"Doctor?" Daniel looked at Sam and then Teal'c before looking back at General Hammond.
"She's talking about Pete Shanahan and… Jack, sir."
"Colonel O'Neill?"
"Yes sir, only one of them is her true love."
"Who do you think it is?"
"I think it's Jack. I think the reason she's going out with Detective Shanahan is because her brother set her up with him, and Jack wanted her to get a life." General Hammond looked at Sam and thought about it, and then looked back at Daniel.
"When the detective gets here, can you take care of this?"
"Yes sir."
"Good." Then he turned and walked out of the infirmary. Daniel turned to look at Teal'c when a nurse came over to them.
"Dr Jackson, can you come with me please for your post mission examination?"
"Ah, sure." He followed the nurse to another gurney and the curtain was pulled across for privacy.
A few minutes later the curtain was pulled back and Daniel walked back over to the bed.
"I'll be back, Teal'c." He had a last look at Sam before heading down to the locker room.
Twenty minutes later he came back into the infirmary to see an SF and a man in plain clothing next to Sam's bed. Pete was asking Teal'c questions about what had happened, but Teal'c said nothing. Daniel walked over to the SF.
"Can you go and get Colonel O'Neill, he'll be in his quarters."
"Yes sir." The SF left the room. Pete turned to the voice and looked at Daniel.
"Dr Jackson, right?"
"Yes."
"What happened, this guy won't tell me anything." He pointed to Teal'c.
"Sam was drugged. From what I've learnt, we think only one person can wake her up."
"Is that why you called me in? How do I wake her up?"
"Ah … kiss her, like in the story, sleeping beauty."
"So I'm Prince Charming." Daniel coughed uncomfortably when he saw the smirk on Pete's face.
"Well then I'd better wake her up." Pete said, and he turned and bent over Sam.
"Wait."
Pete turned to Daniel. "What?"
"I'll go and get Janet … Dr Fraiser." Daniel said, and left.
Pete looked at the door then down to Sam, before leaning towards her again.
"I would wait if I was you, Detective Shanahan." Pete jumped, having forgotten that Teal'c was there.
"Ah, sure." A minute later Janet, Daniel and Jack walked into the infirmary. Jack saw Pete so he stayed back and watched.
"Ok Detective, you can … kiss her." Daniel said.
"Ok." Pete bent over and gave Sam a kiss. While he was doing that, Jack turned his head away - he didn't want to see it or be there. When Pete pulled back he looked down at Sam.
"Sam … wake up." Daniel and Janet looked at each other then back at Sam.
Pete looked up at them "Why didn't she wake up?"
"Perhaps you are not Major Carter's Prince Charming." Teal'c said.
"What? You're crazy, you know that? It's just a fairytale story."
"Indeed."
Daniel turned around to Jack. "Jack."
"Daniel." Daniel and Jack looked at each other.
"No Daniel, I'm not going to kiss Carter, she's my second in command for crying out loud!"
"Jack, just do it. If she doesn't wake up you're in the clear, you're not her Prince Charming."
"Funny Daniel, real funny … no." He said, cutting Daniel off, before turning and marching out the door.
"Are you thinking that Colonel O'Neill is her Prince Charming …" Pete asked and then laughed.
"This has got to be a joke, he's too old for her."
"Detective Shanahan, thank you for coming, but I suggest you leave now." Teal'c said.
"What … come on, I want to be here for when she wakes up."
"At this point, it's more like if she wakes up." Janet said. Then Pete's cell phone rang, so he walked over to the corner to answer it. A minute later the call ended and he came back.
"Ah, I got to go, can someone show me to the elevators?"
"I will." Teal'c said as he stood up.
"Thanks, I'll be back as soon as I can." Then he walked to the doors and out with Teal'c behind him.
