Hey Kitty, you're so fine.
Chapter 1.
The blue event horizon rippled as four people stepped through.
"So Carter, is this a scientific trip or an archaeological one?" Colonel Jack O'Neill asked placing a baseball cap firmly on his head.
"You weren't listening Sir?" The blonde haired Major asked in mock surprise.
"You know as leader of SG1 it might be an idea to at least ask before we leave Earth." The team's linguist said rummaging through his pack to find that ever-elusive floppy Boonie hat.
"I believe O'Neill is hauling your shackle Daniel Jackson." Teal'c said seriously.
"Yanking your chain T, yanking your chain!" Jack sighed. "Lets move out."
"You don't want to know wha..." Daniel stopped.
"What?"
"Did you just see that?" He whispered.
"See what?" Jack asked pulling his P-90 into a more accessible position.
"It looked human, it's coming along the path." He pointed through the trees.
"I'm seeing nothing Danny Boy...was that a tail?"
"I think it was Sir." Sam said moving to a more defensive position.
They watched, catching glimpses through the trees as the figure moved along the path, getting closer and closer. The figure emerged into the clearing where the Stargate was and froze. It turned out to be a girl with long wavy brown hair, and two cat like ears poking out from the top of her head. She was wearing a pair of orangey yellow three quarter length baggy trousers with a tail sticking out and a tight orangey yellow top.
"Hi, I'm Daniel Jackson and this is..." He started as a look of panic crossed the girls face. Her eyes flicked across each of them in turn, her ears twitching, taking in every sound around them. "We are peaceful explor..."
The girl ran off into the trees.
"...ers from Earth." Daniel finished before running after her. "Wait! WAIT!" He yelled.
"Daniel!" Jack yelled running after the man in question, the rest of his team close behind.
They ran through the forest jumping over logs and weaving in and out of trees until the trees started to thin out and they ended up the other side of the tree line. Several meters in front of them were houses, grand houses with three floors and of Goa'uld design.
"Jaffa!" The girl cried running to the nearest house and pounding on the door, then she ran to the next and pounded on that door. "Jaffa...the Chapp'ai!"
"This doesn't look too good." Jack sighed.
"It's fascinating." Daniel breathed. "That looked like one of the representations of the Goddess Bastet recorded in the book of..."
"Daniel, I really don't care." Jack said pushing the man forward. "Go do your peaceful travellers bit."
By now, the inhabitants of the town had come out of their houses and were now armed with the odd Zat and a staff weapon or two. The girl that SG1 had seen first was hiding behind one of the older men. Upon closer inspection Daniel could make out what must be a family of jackal/humans with large, black pointed ears and long black tails, a family of lion/humans with golden ears and long tails, cheetah/humans with spotty tails, and bird/humans with wings attached to their arms. The girl seemed to be the only cat/human in the whole town.
Now Jack was feeling particularly freaked out, this must be some freakish experiment gone wrong he persuaded himself.
"Hi, ur...I'm Daniel Jackson from a planet called Earth." He said nervously.
"Earth?" One of the Lions asked.
"Yes, we are peaceful explorers."
"But he is Jaffa." The Lion person waved his Zat towards Teal'c.
"He has left the service of Apophis and joined us in the fight against the false Gods." Daniel said quickly before closing his eyes ready to be shot.
"You appose the false Gods?"
"You know they're false Gods?"
The Lion man laughed. "They are nothing but parasites living inside innocent people, many of our people died in the past before we were liberated from our oppressors. Now we live free!" He shouted and the crowd cheered. "Come, we will talk more in comfort, your friends are welcome to join us, or they could take a tour of our humble town."
"Tour, I vote tour!" Jack said straight away. "What about you Carter?"
"Carter is an unusual name for a woman." The Lion said.
"It's her surname, Jack calls her Carter because...well it's complicated but her name's Sam." Daniel explained.
"I see. Well, my name is Sef, Daniel would you like to come and learn of our ways?" He motioned towards the first house.
"I'd love to." The archaeologist beamed at the nice man/lion thing.
"Sanura," Sef beckoned to the girl SG1 had met first. "Show these travellers from Earth around while I talk with Daniel."
The girl moved closer to the newcomers cautiously while the crowd dissipated.
"And Sanura, behave." Sef warned before leading the archaeologist towards his home.
"So Sanura, what does your name mean?" Jack asked crossing his arms.
"It means kitten O'Neill." Teal'c stated. "It is a name used by Egyptians for their domesticated animals."
"So I'm supposed to believe that you are a sweet and innocent little being and no trouble to us at all?" Jack said knowingly.
"Sir, how can you judge her when you've only just met her?" Sam asked in defence of the quiet girl.
"Those who believe what they see and abide by their eyes are fools to not see what is not visible." The girl said before grinning evilly and running off past the first house. "Are you coming?"
"HEY!!!" Jack yelled.
"Straw!" Sanura said stopping and turning around.
"Wait for us." The Colonel said walking up to the girl.
"What if I don't feel like it?" Her green eyes sparkling in an evil fashion.
"Didn't Sef tell you to behave?" Sam asked.
"It was a request." She stated.
"So you aren't going to listen to him?"
"Why should I, I have no need to do as they wish." She almost spat. "I am a free spirit, answer only to myself and that's how I like it!"
"So where are your family?" Jack asked.
He noted the sparkle die in her eyes. "Where are yours?"
"My team is my family, my parents live in Minnesota. Carter's dad is a Tok'ra; her brother lives with his family in San Diego. Teal'c's son lives..."
"I get your point." She glared at him.
"So are you going to answer my question?"
"No." She said turning on her heal and walking off. "To your left we have a house, coming up on the right we have the after school."
"The what?"
"After school. Where you go at age seventeen to learn the things you didn't learn in school."
"What things are you taught in after school?" Teal'c enquired.
"The lots of things; how to defend your self, how to fire a Zat, staff weapon, how to disarm a Jaffa. How to cook, hunt, ways in which the Goa'uld attack, some sciencey stuff etcetera." She explained. "Oh no."
She stopped in her tracks as the doors slid open and a group of teenagers came streaming out. They all looked at the newcomers questioningly, many running home to their parents to get answers, a few stayed behind to watch as the school bully walked up to Sanura.
"Why'd you miss school today kitty?" He sneered.
"Do you want the long version or the short version, maybe you want both because I have all night!" She answered.
"So you have no excuse? Pathetic." His black tail flicking around, tauntingly.
"Can't a girl just have some fun once in a while?" She asked, her tail swishing back and forth angrily.
"How can you have fun when you have no friends?" The boy/jackal said pushing her.
"Who needs friends when this town could be wiped out at any moment and I will be the sole survivor?"
That shut the boy up. "What makes you think you're so special?"
"Hmm, let me think." She paused and scratched her chin for a second. "Well there's the fact that it's been what, ten years since Bastet was here last? The only Goa'uld to take hosts from this planet, and what animal is she represented by class?" She asked sarcastically. "Cats, that's what; cats! So, seen as I'm the last cat on this stupid planet I think I have the right to do whatever the hell I like!" She yelled pushing the boy back onto his butt in the mud.
Jack looked from Carter to Teal'c then back to the girl, he slowly put his had on her shoulder to calm her down and steered her away from the crowd.
"Leave me alone!" She cried, tears running down her cheeks. She shrugged off Jack's hand and ran off towards the other end of the town.
SG1 managed to make their way back to the house they had seen Sef take Daniel to with no problems.
"What happened? Where is Sanura?" Sef asked as he ushered them into his house.
"Well she had a bit of an argument with one of the kids from her school and ran off crying." Jack explained.
"What were they arguing about?"
"Her not being in school, it ended up with her telling the boy that she didn't need friends because the planet was going to be wiped out anyway."
"It is true." Sef said sorrowfully. "Bastet is due soon and will be expecting to take a new host."
"You said that none of the Goa'uld ruled over this planet." Daniel said.
"They do not, Bastet only comes to harvest a new host, we cannot stop her and now she will destroy our planet because Sanura is the last of the Cats and too young." Sef explained sitting down.
"How old are Bastet's normal hosts?"
"30 of our years, old enough to have had at least three children to carry on the family. There are male cats in the next town that Sanura is supposed to become acquainted with in the next year, she is only 20 and Bastet will be angry."
"But when I saw her at the System lord convention she didn't have ears and a tail." Daniel remembered his time working in as Lotar to lord Yu.
"She only uses a cat host for a certain amount of time, six years I think then moves onto a human host for four years. I have no idea why."
"So what do we do about Sanura at the moment?" Jack asked.
"We wait till she calms down and makes her way back to the house. I am her guardian so she will come here." Sef replied.
--------------------
Two hours later, SG1 had been fed and watered and were sitting around a large table. The door of the house slid open and Sanura walked in, sat at the table and sulked. Sef continued on his conversation with Sam about the naquada reactor.
When Sam had finished her explanation of the importance of the naquada reactor to Earth's advancement Sef turned to his young charge.
"You didn't finish giving them the tour."
"Didn't start." She replied.
"You should show some appreciation to these people, they have a plan."
"And what exactly does this ingenious idea involve?" She asked perking up a bit.
"Well they have agreed to let you stay on their planet until Bastet comes and goes. We will add a grave stone to the cemetery with your name saying you died in a storm."
"What if she kills you all because she is angry?"
"The people of Earth will send through their armed forces to deal with hers. They will hide in our houses until she starts her attack." He explained.
"What is your planet like?" She asked Daniel.
"Well, it's not too different from this in places, but you won't be able to see it I'm afraid."
"Because of the tail and ears right?" She smiled.
"Yeah, that's one of the main points." He smiled back. "You'd be confined to the base mainly for your own safety."
"Understandable, so when do we leave?" She asked.
"Tonight, I have spoken with the council, they agree that it should be done as soon as possible. Go and pack some clothes into a bag, when you are ready you shall leave."
She nodded and disappeared into another room. Sef let out the breath he was holding and grinned.
"You do know that you're in for hell?"
"We were hoping she could get rid of a couple of irritating people for us." Sam smiled.
"She'll get stir crazy."
"We hope so." Jack grinned and got up to help the girl coming back into the room with a bag on her back. "Ready?"
"I guess." She smiled half-heartedly and went up to Sef to give him a hug. "I'll be back soon."
"You know you can keep her as long as you want." He joked to SG1 earning him a slap. "Take care of yourself and behave, they don't have to tolerate your behaviour missy."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll be good." She grabbed her bag back off Jack and made her way to the door. "See you soon."
"Thanks for everything Sef." Daniel said clapping the man on the back.
"No, no, thank you for all your help." He said before closing the door.
"So Sanura, ever been on TV?"
"What's TV?"
"Oh it's great, I'll have to show you my video collection of the Simpsons you'll love it." Jack beamed.
"Jack, don't you think you should teach her something more, I don't know, grown up?" Daniel asked.
The Colonel's jaw dropped. "How can you say such a thing? Simpsons rock!"
"If you say so Sir." Sam smiled.
"Well Bregman's gonna have a field day!"
"And Kinsey." Daniel said. "Don't, whatever you do, don't trust Kinsey." He warned.
"Okay, I won't." She assured him slightly confused.
"Okay, hit the speed dial Danny and lets go home."
