Daniel sat at the long table in the debriefing room. He drummed his fingers on the table in an odd pattern and seemed unable to stop.
Directly across from him sat a girl who looked like she was about seventeen. She stared at him, her chin resting in her hands. She reached across the table and took the hand drumming on the table. Turning his hand palm up, she sighed contemplatively. "You have a future again," she said quietly. "One that's not boring what with being Ascended."
"Being Ascended wasn't boring," he chastised.
She looked at him from under her eyelashes. "Fine. Your life isn't lonely anymore. Being bored and being lonely are practically the same things."
"Why do you keep saying that?" he demanded. "You can be alone and still not be bored."
"So very young," she said, letting his hand go and leaning back into the chair she was sitting in. "You've never been truely alone to think that."
He looked at her curiously. "But you're not alone."
She smiled sympathetically. "You still don't remember what happened to me, do you?"
Daniel was thrown into consciousness when someone knocked on the door to his office. He rubbed his eyes as Sam entered his office. She smiled, shaking her head. "Have you stopped drinking coffee? I've never walked in on you asleep so frequently in the whole time I've known you."
He shook his head. "I don't know what's the matter with me. Every time I fall asleep, I have the same weird dream, and I have no idea what it means."
"Really? How weird?"
"Not weird like pink bunnies playing bongos on a trampoline or anything," he said quietly. "More weird like there's a person somewhere in the universe I've completely forgotten."
"That is weird," Sam agreed. "But it's just a dream, Daniel."
"No, Sam," he said slowly. "I really don't think it is."

Obviously, I don't own Stargate, but I get to claim the girl.
Author's note: I'm still contemplating whether or not to continue. What do you think? Should the world and Daniel find out who the girl is? Feed-back encouraged and welcome.
