Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Stuck
Chloe slowly stirred, feeling the soft mattress beneath her she smiled slightly, "Hey Bubba how you feeling?" came Danielle's familiar voice, Chloe opened her eyes looking to her friend,
"I had the weirdest dream," she mumbled, Danielle smiled,
"It didn't have anything to do with being on Stargate Atlantis and meeting Sheppard, Ronan and Mckay did it?" she asked, making it sound like a statement more than anything, Chloe's eyes widened,
"How did you…" she looked around to see she wasn't home, or at her hospital it was then she saw Ronan, John, Mckay and Carter, "Oh no," she groaned, dropping her head back onto the pillow, Danielle laughed slightly,
"Crazy huh," she said, Chloe looked at her like she was mad,
"Crazy, this is beyond crazy this is…this is impossible," she exclaimed sitting up, Danielle stood from the chair beside the bed, and placed a hand on her friends shoulder,
"Okay just breath okay, don't pass out again," she smiled, Chloe just glared at her,
"So now you can start talking," said John, who had just watched the exchange,
"Who are you and were are you from," asked Carter,
"Earth, just not your Earth…as crazy as this sounds you have to believe us, the reason we know who you are, the reason we know about Atlantis and the Stargate programme is because we've watched it all unfold for the last 11 years," started Danielle, "We've watched it on television," each member of Atlantis exchanged the same looks 'Whatever'
"You expect us to believe that?" said Rodney, Danielle rolled her eyes,
"No you don't have to believe if you don't want to, but it is the truth, how else would we know the things we know, the last thing I remember doing is watching Stargate Atlantis, getting ready to watch Alien, the next thing either of us know is we're here," she sighed, Chloe never said anything she just looked to each of the Atlantis crew, hoping that maybe this was one bizarre dream,
"Well if that's true you wont mind telling us a few things then, something about each of us," said Sam, Danielle shrugged,
"That's fine," she turned to Rodney, "Meredith Rodney McKay, when Laura Cadman was in your head she gave you some tips on how to woo Katie Brown, she also took charge when you got nervous at dinner, making you sweep Katie off her feet and kiss her," she said, Rodney stared wide eyed having told no one, next she turned to Ronan, "On Satedea you had a girl-friend called Malena, who was unfortunately killed," Ronan stared at her, Chloe piped up here, still refusing to look at them,
"John Sheppard, likes American football, has beaten McKay at chess on more than one occasion, has fallen for two unascended beings, and has been married, Colonel Samantha Carter, dated a guy called Pete, first trip through the Stargate was during the second trip to Abydos, and the replicators created a double of you," by time both girls stopped talking, each of the four members stared wide eyed,
"I guess your telling the truth then," said John, frowning slightly, Danielle smiled and turned to Chloe who was looking down,
"This is fabulous," she exclaimed, expecting the same reaction from Chloe, who looked at her,
"No it isn't, okay this is not right, we shouldn't be here, its like something out of a sci-fi film Danielle, stuff like this isn't supposed to happen in reality," she exclaimed, the smiling Danielle was soon frowning,
"Chloe but this is a good thing, come on how many people can actually say they skipped realities…in our world that is," she asked, Chloe shook her head, and looked to Rodney,
"Your Rodney smartest person here, beside Carter, can you fix this, send us home?" she asked voice wavering, Danielle stared at her in shock,
"Chloe what the hell is wrong with you?" she asked, outraged that her friend was acting like this
Ignoring her Chloe continued to look at Rodney who grew uncomfortable under her gaze, "I'll see what I can do," he mumbled before hurrying out
"Right I'll have to ask you guys to leave, she needs her rest," said Dr Keller walking over
Everyone nodded and left Danielle and Chloe, who both noticed the armed guards stood nearby. When Keller walked away, Danielle slid onto the bed beside Chloe,
"Okay so now we're alone, do you want to tell me why the hell you view this as a bad thing, Chloe this is the most amazing thing that has happened to either one of us,"
"Danielle don't you understand, we have no idea how we got here, or even if we can get home, we could be stuck in a reality we're we don't exist, everything we've strived for these many years means nothing here," she frowned
"All I know is this is a dream come true, I mean come on that was SGA 1, the Stargate is real everything we've watched over the last 11 years is real,"
Chloe nodded, "Yeah including all the bad stuff as well," she said, looking at Danielle she knew the two had different opinions that would not be resolved tonight, "Look I'm tired so, if you'll get into a different bed," she shook her head and couldn't look at her friend.
Danielle looked down, not believing that Chloe was so down on this turn of events, sliding out the bed she crawled into the one beside it and turned her back to Chloe, who in turn had done the same.
The next morning rolled around and Chloe had half hoped that maybe all of it had been some bizarre dream, which is why even though she had awoke it took her a good 20 minutes to open her eyes.
Danielle had awoken early her excitement barely contained much to the amusement of Dr Keller,
"You seem like a very annoying morning person," she smiled.
Danielle shook her head, "Nope not me, I'm usually terrible in the mornings, it's Chloe who is the morning person," she glanced over at her friend who still had her back turned
Dr Keller seeing this, smiled slightly at Danielle, "Is she alright?"
Danielle shrugged, "For the first time since we met, I don't know what she's feeling. I just don't get it, this is huge I thought she would have been happy,"
"Well I expect she's in shock I mean from what you guys say this is a huge deal, in your reality we're all on television, and the Stargate isn't real," she said, "Plus the information that the Wraith exist in this reality is enough to knock anyone back for 6,"
Dr Keller turned and walked away, leaving Danielle to think, she felt slightly angry at herself, being so excited she didn't even comprehend that maybe Chloe was just scared. Smiling slightly she slid out the bed and creped back over to Chloe's bed, sitting on the bed she leaned over her friend so she could see her face
"Hey Bubba, you awake," she asked quietly, when Chloe made no movement, Danielle started tickling her, which worked affectively,
"What are you doing?" exclaimed Chloe; she turned on her back, whilst Danielle lay on her stomach beside her,
"I wanted to apologize I didn't understand how you were feeling last night. I just got so wrapped up in actually being here that I couldn't even remember about the scary things that come with it," she sighed,
Chloe looked at Danielle. It was why she was so upset about being here, everything she had watched about the Wraith and all the other things, made her feel slightly scared
"It's me who should apologise, all this is crazy, I mean we are actually on Stargate Atlantis," she paused for a minutes "STARGATE ATLANTIS!" she exclaimed loudly
Surprised at her friends outburst Danielle stared at her for a beat before laughing out loud, causing Chloe to finally laugh and feel excited about the countless possibilities now that they were here and in unison they both started singing, "Exploring planets, I'll do my damndest to be on Stargate Atlantis."

"So all in all, what your trying to say is you have no idea how they got here, or how to get them home," said John
Having just listened to McKay ramble on for 20 minutes on the different ways they could of got here. For a moment McKay thought,
"Erm…well…yes, looks like they're stuck here until I do," he finished.
Sam raised her eyebrows and looked to John and Ronon, "Well we'll assign them a room each, details on where, are here," she said handing them both a sheet of paper, "Both of you try and find out what they really know when you separate them," she ordered. Nodding both men stood and left.
-- --
"How come Chloe and I don't get a room together or at least beside one another?" asked Danielle as she walked around her new quarters
Ronon shrugged and watched her. He didn't care if he was coming off rude, he acknowledged the fact that she was smaller than him and probably couldn't do any physical harm, but experience made him wary of new people
Danielle snuck a glance at him, and couldn't help but blush slightly under his gaze, which surprised her as she never blushed, that was Chloe's thing
"You want to know something?" she said, turning on her heal, Ronon shrugged his arms crossed, "The scariest thing about this whole thing isn't the fact that we're here, it's that we don't even know how we got here," she sighed, walking over to the window
Ronon narrowed his eyes and watched her a beat longer before saying, "You must have some idea,"
Danielle smiled slightly, "I wish I did, but the truth is we don't know how this happened, which makes me wonder when it'll end, and we'll be sent home,"
-- --
Chloe walked around her room a slight smile on her face, John had been making small talk all the way here, confirming to Chloe, that even though he hadn't said why he was here, she knew,
"You know if your fishing for something, a reason or a answer as to why I'm here then I want you to know I don't know anything, I know as much as you," she said
John stared surprised. "I wasn't trying to…" Chloe held up a hand,
"Don't worry about it, I totally understand, it's not every day people from Alternate Universes appear," she laughed slightly, then paused, "Well unless you're here," she frowned slightly and shook her head
"Rodney hasn't been able to explain how you got here either," he said, Chloe smiled slightly,
"He'll get it eventually I'm sure of it," she nodded, "After all he is Dr McKay, brilliant Scientist,"
John laughed slightly, "So he keeps reminding everyone," he looked again at Chloe who was staring out a window, "Come on are you hungry?"
Chloe turned and smiled, "Sure,"
