Of course I don't own Stargate, if I did I would have a lot more money in my pocket right now.

I just suddenly felt that I had to write something about Daniel and Vala. I've always been amused by their relationship. And as I've written before – I'm Swedish, so I hope the English is ok. If you find that it isn't – I'd love for you to tell me and then I could improve.

Please write reviews if you like it, it's extremely funny to know what you think! =)

"Vala!"

Daniel Jackson doubted that he had ever been this frustrated in his entire life.

"Vala, get over here! I'm warning you…"

Vala Mal Doran was standing in a corner of Daniel's room at Stargate Command. In her hands she was holding one of the most exciting artifacts Daniel had ever rested his eyes on. She juggled it in her hands, laughing.

"Is it this one you want, Daniel?"

"You know it is, Vala. Just stop bugging me already."

"Well then… If you want it that bad? Come and get it!"

She threw her head back, laughing, and in less than a second she had run out through the door with the artifact clutched in her hands.

"Vala… Valaaa!"

Daniel could still hear her laughing mischievously at the other end of the hallway, but he didn't really bother following her since he knew that's exactly what she wanted him to do. He knew that she had absolutely no interest whatsoever in "that piece of rock" as Cam so kindly had called it. She only wanted to annoy him. And God knows – it worked. He sat down in his chair and opened up his laptop. Right now he was very happy that he had scanned the writings on the tablet into his computer so he could still work on the translation of it. He had just about started when a familiar person showed up in the doorway.

"She's a real piece of work, huh?"

Great. Cameron Mitchell of course. Daniel sighed.

"Yes, Cam. She sure is."

"So. What did she do to get your attention this time then?"

Daniel could see that Cam was very amused by the situation. As always.

"Did she… steal your glasses, or mess up your papers or what? Or maybe she just… I don't know? Pulled your hair? That's the most common way to do it in kindergarten? So I've heard."

"Wipe that grin off your face Cameron."

"Come on Daniel. There's nothing wrong with her? Why not give it a try?"

Daniel knew very well what he was trying to insinuate. And he didn't like it. Not that Vala wasn't pretty, or even stunningly beautiful, but that wasn't the problem. She was a nutcase.

THAT was the problem.

He remembered the first time he had met her as if it was yesterday. Never had he felt so many different things in one single day. Fear, pain, infatuation, vulnerability, passion, confusion… disappointment. He could go on all day. He turned his head to Cam.

"A lot of things are wrong with her, and you know it."

"Oki-doki. Whatever you say, Dr. Jackson."

Cameron turned around and left the room, but before he did this he smirked secretive as if he knew something that Daniel didn't. This left Daniel confused. What on earth was that supposed to mean? He decided not to linger on that and instead he turned his thoughts back to the scanned writings on the screen. They just didn't seem to make any sense? He had managed to translate it, or at least he thought he had. But something had to be wrong? The writings didn't tell him anything. According to what he could understand it said. "We will help you". Why would anyone write that on a tablet? And why would-

"Help! Please help me! Somebody!"

His thoughts were interrupted by a woman screaming at the top of her lungs. And not just any woman.

It was Vala.

Daniel could feel his blood freeze and for a moment he stopped breathing. He reacted instinctively. He jumped up from his seat and ran out the door.

"Vala! Where are you?!"

She didn't answer but he could hear her screaming. He ran towards the sound and he could see other people in the building doing the same thing. It didn't take long until he could see her, and it wasn't hard to see why she had been screaming. The tablet that she had stolen from his room had transformed into something completely different. It still had the writings on it, but that was the only thing that made him recognize it. It had turned into a white, pulsating substance that was covering almost her entire body. She was surrounded by eight or nine different people who all stopped Daniel when he wanted to reach out for her. One of the people standing closest to her was Samantha Carter.

"Daniel! Don't touch her! I tried, but I couldn't reach her. There's some kind of shield around her. Look at what it did to my hand."

Daniel quickly looked down at Sam's hand, and it was severely burnt.

"But... what are we going to do! We can't just stand here, Sam! Or at least I can't!"

Suddenly a voice filled the room.

We can help you Daniel Jackson. We can help you Daniel Jackson. We can help you Daniel Jackson.

For some strange reason it was suddenly so simple. The force field wasn't there to keep him out. It was there to keep everybody else out. Now he finally understood the writings. It was a message. For some reason he knew exactly what to do. He gave Sam a quick look and easily passed the force field. Just as he already knew – it didn't hurt him. He closed his eyes and reached for Vala.

Everything grew dark.
