Ty and her family sat at the table and ate their breakfast as Rick flew threw the door. During the last one and a half year situations like those became almost a daily habit but this time was a bit different. Today would be the first time for them to go through the ring to meet new people on a new planet. Of course had they been through the ring before but this time it would just the two of them.
"§Good morning Duiadrick, would you like to sit down with us?§" Tys' 'mom'
asked. "§Huh? No thanks, uhm, I just thought that Ty would be ready – so are you?§", he asked now looking at her hopefully noticing that her plate was already empty.
"§Ready? Ready for what?§", she asked innocently, and looked at the food on the table as is she tried to decide what to eat next. "§What do you mean ready for what? Did you fall on your head??§" Ty had to grin at that, cause she was sure thathe knew that she only meant it as a joke.
"§Why don`t you come and sit down with us? I can get you something to drink.§" Tys mum asked him and stood up without waiting for an answer.
"§Yeah come on sit down, we still have time. You know that we have to wait for Winlersen before we can depart.§"
With a sigh he sat down at the table and looked like a drowned cat. Ty had to laught at the sight and earned a scrowl from Rick.
"§You know, one could think you`re not excited at all.§"
"§Oh, but I am. But I also know that all will just go fine.§" She said with a conviction that he couldn`t understand sometimes.
Tys mom came back with the water for Rick and someone else in tow. "§Look who I found at the door§" She said full aware what a reaction she will get.
Rick got bright eyes but it was nothing compared to Ty who jumped on her feet and got all exited. She all but run into Winlersen and hugged him as hard as she could.
Over the last one and half year they became as close as a real brother and sitster and while she loved every member of her new family it was him that she felt closest to. And while everything she had learned was new to her she often became easily bored thanks to her ability to learn fast, but he alsways could think of ways to make it a bit more excited for her.
That was one thing she learned about herself since she had been kidnapped back on earth, that she was able to remember things a lot easier but also that her body healed a bit faster than normal. She had no idea what they did to her but last year she was pretty tankfull for it.
It had been their second trip throught the ring as they walked down a little road when the ground under her feet gave in and she fell and broke her leg and had serveral scratches on her body. It hurt like hell and they brouhgt her to a healer on an other planet who had a lot more experiences with broken bones, but it was still a bit unnormal at which rate her leg healed. It didn`t take 3 weeks till she had full use of her leg back, but more surprisingly were the scratches which healed within two days. The healer said that he didn`t do anything on the scratches and that she may be just a fast healer. But she had the feeling that it had something to do with her kidnappers.
Over the last one and a half year she lived as happy as one could ask for; she had a family, friends and one best fried, sure sometimes she missed her friend Carr but she was sure that she had a good life as well and that was all she could wish for.
Ty and Rick became close friends and partners, they learned together as much as they could an had a lot o fun doing so. Today would be the first time they were to travel through the ring alone, as a team to explore the new world and look for chances to trade and to learn new things.
They waited for this day, but now they were sure they were abe to fillfull their assignment. They learned how to comunicate with strangers, learned a lot more languages and to defence temselfes if nessecerry, in hand to hand and to handle the weapons.
Winlersen had been told to bring them to the ring and send them on their way. But more than that he wanted to do so.
He sat down with them at the table and took some drink himself.
"§So are you two ready?§" He asked with a grin on his face that told clearly that he already knew the answer. But they ignored it and answered nonetheless, "§Ofcourse!§" they said eagerly.
He had to laugh, "§And do you have all your stuff ready?§"
Rick just held his Bag up and Ty got up and fished her Bag from under the table ready to go.
"§What, you want to use that thing?§" he akes and looked at her bag. The one that she did made herself, trying to make it look just like the one he had.
She allways thouht when she will be going to travel through the ring she will just have the same, it looked really cool to her and was from an other planet, just the right thing she thought.
"§What do you mean? Of course, that's what it was made for!§" She looked at him like he was crazy, couse she knew for sure that he knew why she made the thing in the first place.
He shruged an got up, walked towards the kitchen and got out of it with just two bags like the one he used himself."§If you say so, than what I am going to do with those?§" he said grinning at the two who looked plain stunned.
"§Wow. They look exactly like yours."§
"§That's because those are exactly like mine. Maybe because I got them from the same place mine is from.§" he said grinning.
"§Really?? Cool! And those are really for us?§" she asked still unbelivingly.
"§Of course. Now pack you bags and we`re out of here.§" he said laughing.
They packed their stuff, which was nearly identic. Both had an extra pack of clothes, a scarf, a notebook a pencil. Ty had an extra notebook, it was her diary, the one that Rick gave her When they got to know each other.
"§You ready?§" "§Yeahsureyabetcha!§" they said in unsion. And grinned like mad.
"§No you`re not!§" said her mum. "§You`re not going without your food, and as sure as hell not without saying goodbye§" said and done they were on their way.
A few minutes later they stood at the food of the ring and Winlersen gave them some intructions..
"§Please we already know all that!§" "§Yes you told us four times already on the way here!§" Ty and Rick protested with rolling eyes.
"§Good so you have listened to me§" and went to the dialling device.
A few seconds later the ring was spinning and they waited for the `woosh` and went throgh.
They landed with their feet on a sandy ground. It was warm and they looked at a large sea.
"WOW" said Ty and went down to the beach. Rick followed her speachless.
They stood there a few minutes and looked out at the sea. The sun was setting down and it was getting dark.
"§Let`s search a place for the night to camp. We can go looking for some people here tomorrow as well.§"
She knew he was right. Sure where they came from it was just midmornig but it would be to dangerous to walk throug the night when they couldn`t see were they set their foot.
They walked maybe half an hour to be away from the ring so they wouldn´t be surprised by some visitors or worse goa'uld.
They knew how to hide their traks and where it was safe enough to set up camp.
They didn't went stright to sleep, they just sat together and talked, something they never got tired of.
At about midnight they started to sleep one at a time, till the morning so they wouldn`t be tired during the coming day.
The next morning they packed up and walked in the direktion the ring faced.
They walked nearly all day until they could see a couple of hutts. There was still no sign of human life but the traces they`ve found at the ground.
They decided not to follow the same traces and take an other route. That way they needed a lot more time but where sure not to ran into those who left the traces until they where sure if they were friendly or not.

Col. O`Neill was in a bad mood. They where on a planet with great weather, a great beach even and what were they doing?? Lying on the beach?-No! Catching some fish?-Noo! They were following Dr. Daniel Jackson to a little gorup of huts. Still no sighn of life but he was so sure that it would be important. Right, thought Jack, it allways was important.
When SG-1 reached the huts there was still no sign of life and there was sure of hell no human or alien life. But Daniel was exited none the less, cause they forgot to clear their dishes before they left. Sure as hell he wanted to do it now.
"Daniel, what's up with you? It`s just some dirty dishes, let`s go back to the beach- THAT`S exciting!"
"But Jack, don`t you see what it could mean. I mean take a look aound, everything had just been left the way it was. Maybe they were on a run maybe, from the goa'uld"
"Yeah so?? If they were on a run they had no way to face and to fight them so why should we bother???"
"But.."
"No buts, Daniel. We`re leaving!"
Sam stood a bit away an had to grin at the behavior of her two teammates, it was just so predictable.
Teal`c stood as he always did and watched their sourroundings.
"O`Neil. I think we`re not alone" And with that the argument between Jack and Daniel came to a stop.
"Have you seen anything?" Jack asked and reached for his binucolars.
"No, but I belive I heard someone talking"
All went still and listened. But all they could hear was the birds and the wind.
.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
"§Look, there is someone§" Rick said looking at the four people in the middle of the huts "§Shit! Get down§"
"§What?§" Ty asked no idea what went on.
"§TSHH! One of them is a Jaffer!§" he wispert and looked alarmed.
'Are you sure?' Ty wrote in the sand. And Rick nodded. Well shit!
They looked down at the group, but couldn't hear what they were talking about.
.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
"Are you sure? I can't hear anythng" Daniel asked in a loud wisper.
"Tshhh!" made Jack and looked in the direction Teal'c looked. He gave a sign that meant for Sam and Daniel to stay, Teal'c and himself made their way with their weapons ready to shoot if nessecary, in the direction he heard the voices coming from.
"Jack, you can't just shoot at them!"
Jack just looked at Danel and went on.
.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
Ty and Rick saw them coming in their direktion and made sure they wouldn't find them. They crawled a bit down the way into the sand and diged themselves into the sand. They found a spot right beside a hill where some one wouldn't notice it if they weren't looking for them exactly there and knew what they were looking for.
They learned that technic from an other folk on an other planet, like most of their ways to defend themselfes and to hide. That way they had some what of a different style mixed together from a lot of dirrerent ones.
The man and the Jaffer made their way towards them, but they didn't moved at all, exactly the way they've learned it, thay contolled their breath and kept quiet.
They stayed unnoticed by the strangers. They heven't had a clear sight on the straingers but the big one was clearly a Jaffer through it seemed that the gray one was the learder. That didn't made a lot of sense to Ty, only, it had to mean the gray one had to be a gua'old, but nah, they wouldn't go on the war themselfes. So who was he?
The Two men stayed fot a few minutes and searched for any sign of them but eventually they went back and Ty and Rick were able to take a deep breath, but still didn't dare to move.
"Getting old huh T?" the one asked with humor in his voice.
"Iam old O'Neal" the other one answered in a more static voice.
English they were talking english. Ty were so lost in her thoughts that she was surprised when Rick rick freed her from the sand and took her hand to help her up.
"§What's up?§" he asked noticing that she was lost in her thoughts.
"§Huh? Did you notice which language they were speaking?§" she asked in a low wisper as they made there way back to have a sight to the huts again.
"§Of course, they were the talking the same language you talk. Why?§"
"§If they are talking english, they are from earth.§"
"§Not nessecarry, you know there are some other folks who speak that lanugage. Buirrik for example had never been to earh or met people from this planet but he speaks the language.§"
"§Yeah§" she said but wasn't really convinced.
They lay at the same pot as they had before and looked down at the huts. The four people were still there.
The one with the glasses were still standing in the middle of the little group of huts and takling while the rest were already walkig in the direction the ring was.
They were waiting a bit before starting to follow them. They already knwe were they were heading so they could take a different way and not risk to be noticed.
When Rick and Ty reached the ring the four strangers wre already starting to put the address in the device.
Ty took out her notebook and wrote down the simbols they were dailing. They waited until the straingers went through before they came out of their hiding place.
"§Do you really think the were from your planet?§"Rick asked still looking at the ring.
"§I don't know but I know now that we're never going to this planet, not until we are sure that it isn't earth§"Ty said and closed her notebook, "§Come on let's have a closer look at the huts, maybe we will find more or even some people.§"
They went back to the hut, but didn't find anything interesting there, so they decided to go a bit further.
They wakled till the sun was setting down again, and still hadn't found a sign of any human life.
They decided to set up camp and call it a night. The ate a bit and talked what they were going to do when they were back.
"§And we have to come up with something good to get Anlar back§" Rick said, and still got a red head when he thought back at the situaion.
Anlar was one of their friends, he was a bit older than the two and was always mocking them for beeing such good friends. The other day they were going for a swim when Anlar took their clothes and they had to go the way back nearly naked.
"§It has to be something original, like for example do you remember the color the Dornians put on when they have some big fest the one that won't come off for days? We could give them a visit before going home, what do you think?§"
Ty smiled but wasn't realy into setting up their friend.
"§You're still thinking about the possibillity of them beeing from earth?§" He asked, knewing exactly what she was thinking about, there had to be a reason he called himself her best friend right.
"§Yeah, I mean what if they are searching for me or anything like that, or worse if they are doing this still to other kids?§"
"§Don't worry. You know that even if they wuld come after you. You are one of us, but more , You are my best friend and I wouldn't let them get you."§
She smiled at him, seeing in his eyes that he meant what he said.
"But you know, there are a lot of people who wouldn't let them get you, and I am younger than the most of them so they probably want to get to them first."§, he said laughting.
He managed to lighten her mood a bit but it was still nagging a bit at her mind. When Rick was sleeping Ty used the time to write down her thoughts in her notebok. Till it was nearly midnight and it was time to wake Rick up.
Ty had a bit of a troubled sleep. It had been a long time since she dreamed about what did happen to her. Rick noticed it and wondered wether he should wake her up or not. When he heard her begining to stop he tried to wake her up, but instaed of waking she just rolled towards him and put her arms around his waist and came to a rest.
To say Rick was shocked would be an understatement he sat there as still as he could and waited for her to wake up, but she didn't. Instead she slept without any more signs of trouble. So he just sat there till the sun was getting up, without moving an inch.
When she was waking up he stood up as fast as he could hoping she wouldn't notice in which posistion she had slept.
She rolled on her side and rubbed her eyes. Rick was getting away as fast as he could wihout atracting attention. He took a gulp of the water, taking a deap breath before getting back to Ty.
Wordless he gave her the water and she took it and took a little sip herself.
"§So, uhm, are we haeding back or are we looking further?§" Rick asked with a rough voice, having the feeling he should take an other bit of the water.
"§I'd say so. I don't think were going to find anything here other than the houses. And besides we want to get the paint, don't we?§" she said with a mishious grinn that showed nothing of the mood she had the other day or the trouble she had in her dreames last night.
They packed up their stuff and went back to the ring. The way back took most of the day and when they reached the ring the sun was already setting.
Like said they didn't went straight home, first they made a little detour. When they came through the ring they were met from their friends. They told them that they had come to get a few things and were accompanied to the village. They talked a bit about all the things going on in ther homes.
Rick and Ty were tired from their days walk and had to decline the invatation to stay for a meal. They went back to the ring, said their goodbyes and went back home.
Ty and Rick were tired when they were back an their planet and all they could think of was to get home and getting some, well a lot sleep.
It was early afternoon when their village came into sight and what they saw was a nasty sight....
