Radesh

It had been two weeks since Jack's proposal to Sam, and she now stood in her office, with Daniel admiring the gleaming jeweled ring.

Standing back up from his prior position, hunched over Sam's, Daniel placed his hand on her shoulder. "It's really beautiful Sam. I'm so happy for you."

Sam grinned back. "Thanks."

Daniel took of his glasses and wiped some dust off of them. "Actually Sam I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Yes?"

"Remember those dreams you told me about? Well I….I think I've been having the same ones."

Sam was surprised by Daniel's sudden news. "Really?"

"Yeah. I-"

Daniel was suddenly interrupted by Jack, who had just strolled into the room. "Howdy gang," he said. The two looked at him with curious expressions on their faces. "What?" he asked.

Sam raised her eyebrows, confused. "I've never heard you say that before."

Jack shrugged. "Must've heard one of the guys at work say it. Anyways Daniel, haven't seen you around lately where've you been?"

"Oh you know… here, there. Digging here, translating artifacts there."

Jack brushed it off not to interested in his scientific babble. "Yeah yeah yeah, how would you like to join Sam and I for dinner tomorrow night. As long as that's okay with you," he said looking over at Sam.

Sam nodded, "I have no objections."

"Sure sounds great," said Daniel.

"Great then I'll see you two tomorrow night."

Radesh – one day later

The meal had been delicious, the wine exquisite, and the talk light and casual. After dinner the three of them moved their conversation into the living room. Jack seated himself in the corner of the couch, and after putting her wineglass down Sam joined him.

"That was a wonderful meal Sam," Daniel said as he walked over to the fireplace, coaxing flames out of the glowing coals.

"Yup, absolutely delicious," said Jack, draping his arm across Sam's shoulders.

Sam blushed. "Thanks. It was nothing really." Suddenly remembering something, she put her hand on Jack's knee. "I forgot to tell you. Remember those dreams I told you about a couple weeks ago? "

"The ones about us exploring the galaxy?" asked Jack, smirking.

"Yes. Well Daniel's told me he's had similar dreams."

"Very similar actually," said Daniel.

"You said we were all in it?"

"Yes."

"What about this other guy you were telling me about?" Jack asked Sam. "The one with the gold forehead."

"Well he seemed to be a friend of ours. Yet he wasn't quite like us. I…I don't think he was human."

Daniel nodded. "Yeah I think you're right."

"What about a bald guy? Stockier build?"

Sam and Daniel both looked at Jack with curious expressions on their faces. "Jack?" questioned Daniel.

Jack took a deep breath. "I think I've had the same dreams."

"You didn't tell me," said Sam accusingly.

"It was just the other day, and I wasn't so sure until just now." Jack looked at her apologetically and squeezed her hand softly. "I'm sorry."

"This is strange," said Daniel, sitting down across from them. "All three of us having the same dream." Sam and Jack nodded. Daniel pinched the bridge of his nose in deep thought. "What are the chances of different people having the same dream?"

Sam looked at the two of them. "The probability of three people having exactly the same dream with identical details is -"

"I get it," Jack interrupted. "High unlikely."

"Yes," said Sam, smiling.

"Well I've got my yearly physical and checkup at Medical Aid at the end of the week. I'll mention these….dreams to them. See what they have to say."

Radesh – the end of the week

Once the doctor had finished with his examination, he asked Jack if he had any questions. "Actually there was one thing."

"Sure," said the doctor.

"I've been having these strange dreams lately."

"Dreams?"

"Yeah. Ummm.." Jack ran his fingers through his hair. "They're all pretty much the same. I find myself on a strange planet with my friends….exploring…." Jack laughed and shook his head. "I know this sounds pretty crazy right."

"Not at all. Actually just to be safe, I want to run a few tests. Just to make sure. If that's okay with you."

Jack nodded. "Whatever you want doctor."

The doctor came back in through the door. "Good news. You're brain scans seem to be fine. But I'm going to give you a mild sedative, to at least help you sleep tonight. He walked over to Jack and pulled out a small syringe filled with a blue liquid. After inserting it into Jack's arm, Jack looked up at him with a confused expression on his face.

"Whh….what was that for?"

"Your headaches."

"What?"

"Don't you remember? You came in to see me with a really bad migraine. You said that you've been suffering from them for awhile. What I just gave you should stop those bad headaches."

Jack rubbed his arm. "Uh thanks."

It was much later that night and Jack was sleeping, stretched out on his bed with Sam lying next to him, head resting on his chest.

"Jack?"

Jack turned his head. "Mmmmm."

"Jack."

Jack sighed. "What?"

"How did your appointment go today? At the doctors."

"It was fine."

"Did you ask him about the dreams?"

"What?"

Sam propped herself up on one elbow. "Did you tell him about the dreams?"

"What dreams?"

"Jack the dreams about the other planet! With Daniel and I. Remember? We all had the same dream!"

"I'm sorry Sam, I don't know what you're talking about. The doctor gave me something for my migraines, but that's it. No dreams."

Sam looked at him concerned, but decided not to push it. "Alright Jack."

Jack pulled the blanket up around them and wrapped his arms around her. "Goodnight night Sam."

Sam snuggled into Jack, but there was uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something wasn't right. "Goodnight Jack."
