"So, where is Colonel O'Neill?"

"He isn't here. Did you say Colonel?"

"He?"

"Yeah, he is General now."

"General?"

"Major General Jack O'Neill."

"Oh, no. Not her husband. I mean the Colonel."

"Her … husband?"

"Vala?" a voice asked in the backround.

"Ah, there she is. My cute blond blue eye Colonel. Do you know, nobody know you in the City."

"What are you talking about?"

"I asked about Colonel O'Neill."

"Oh, ah, well … yeah maybe because I didn't changed my last name. Not in the Air Force way. Actually, it is a double name. … but here still only Carter."

"Yeah I see so." She looked on Sam's Shirt. "Sorry about, but I damaged the surprise."

"Don't be afraid about that. I think they are surprised enough." she smiled and her arms coming around Vala's shoulders. Together they left the gate and control room. Left behind a couple of personal from Atlantis, confused faces and eyes full of irritation.
