Disclaimer: Stargate's not mine… now that's what I'm talking about.

Hawk: Sorry it took so long, gah, school, but now the teachers are on strike so I should have lots of time to update

He had lost the SGC's archaeologist… of course he did. Even as an adult that guy attracted trouble like a magnet. Though, the same could be said for all of SG1. What really worried him, was what would happen if Teal'c found out…

"Daniel!" Maybourne called looking around quickly. No answer… of course. He frowned. Where could that little geek have got to?

"Damn it I need a leash for you kids…" Maybourne muttered turning back to … where Jack and Sammy were.

"DARN IT!" he yelled getting funny looks from all the patrons.

Daniel looked around the restaurant holding Pengy in his arm. He knew that he should probably stay with Mr. Harry, but… this place was so interesting! He had never seen anything like it before. Only hotels and dig sites. A tall door piqued his curiosity. He pushed it open and wandered in.

"Hey! What's the kid doing here?" someone shouted.

"Awww he's so cute!" a woman squeaked. Daniel instantly started doubting the intelligence of walking through this door. He nervously adjusted his glasses and pushed the sleeves of his too long shirt up. He looked down at his shirt again. Instead of seeing a green uniform, he saw an aqua shirt with a little duck in a blue sailor's suit on the pocket and a blue t-shirt. Before he could ponder this, a tall man came in front of him. He hugged Pengy to him.

"This was a bad idea Pengy…" he muttered to the Furbie.

"Kid, you can't come in here. Where are your parents?" The man asked in exasperation.

"Mark, don't be mean. He's just a little kid. He was probably looking for the bathroom." A strawberry blond woman grinned widely at him.

"I… don't know where my parents are…" Daniel answered Mark's question softly forcing himself not to take a step back. He had faced Unas warriors and Jaffa and Mr. Apophis. He shouldn't be worried about normal people.

"Oh lord." Mark muttered, "Okay Julia," He said turning to the woman, "You can look after him while we find his parents…" He pointed his finger at her, "And no. You can't keep him." Julia pouted.

Why did he have to open the door? He let out a startled squeak as Julia picked him up.

"We're gonna have lots of fun while Mark find your parents," She said happily. She carried him back through the door that had started this whole mess.

"Okay Major, Doctor Jackson has been taken by an alien force. It is our mission to find Doctor Jackson without engaging the enemy." Jack said. They had found an HQ under an empty table.

"Right. What about Harry though?" Sammy asked. Jack frowned.

"He's doing his own search. Jack answered seeing Harry's feet scamper by. "Don't worry about him… for now. As far as we know, he's on the level." Jack brought up his hand to his mouth, "Krrsh, Archaeology boy, Sergeant Pengy, this is Sierra Golf One Niner. Can you hear me? Over." He waited for a dramatic moment, "No answer."

"Sierra Golf One Niner?"

"What? I thought it was cool…"

"Anyways… where do you think he – I mean… Where do you think the aliens took them?" Jack slammed his fist in his palm.

"The ball room! That's the perfect place for the alien menace to take him!" he paused, then giggled, "I just noticed… you're wearing pink… some soldier you are," Jack laughed. Sammy looked down at her pink shirt and dark blue overalls with flowers on the front pocket. She twitched.

"It's all the Jerkwad Bozo's fault…" She muttered, "I know it… hey! At least I don't have sponge-bob on my shirt." she replied crossing her arms. Jack looked down at his green t-shirt with said sponge.

"Shut it Sammy."

"So what's your name?" Julia asked Daniel, who, at the moment was scolding Pengy for getting them into a situation like this.

"We should have stayed with Mr. Harry—Umm… I'm Daniel and this is Pengy," He said showing her the little black Furbie. She gave him a bright smile.

"Hello," she said to Daniel and then patted the little Furbie on the head.

"Now here's the ballroom. You two go play." Daniel blinked, "Ballroom? Like dancing?" Julia chuckled softly, "No, no silly, you've never been in a ball room? It's that room in there and it's filled with balls. It'll be fun, I promise."

"Okay…" Daniel said looking dubiously at the little jungle gym filled with balls and then back at Pengy.

"The things you get me into…" He muttered climbing in.

"Krrsh, this is Rocket girl to Sierra Golf One Niner, I have a visual. Over." Sammy said quietly looking behind the corner seeing the ball room. In the middle of the netted Jungle gym was Daniel.

"Roger that Rocket Girl, what's going on in there? Over." Jack asked from the other side of the doorway.

"S'not good." She barked, "He's in an impenetrable prison with the alien guarding him at the front. What do you advise? Over."

"You take left, I'll take right, we sneak up, I'll distract the alien with Corporal Ears, you take Lieutenant Jim and get in there and save Archaeology boy and Sergeant Pengy. Over."

"Yes sir! Over and out!"

Daniel lay in the mound of balls like he would in water trying not to sink.

"This is definitely not fun." He muttered to Pengy. He swam forward in the balls and looked out of the nets. He blinked twice. It was Jack and Sammy!

Jack and Sammy ran up behind Julia.

"Go, go, go," He whispered to Sammy. He tugged on Julia's shirt. Sammy sneaked by behind, unnoticed.

"Doctor Jackson! Sergeant Pengy! You're alive!" Sammy said happily. Daniel looked back at her.

"Uh…oh! Yeah, well, the – what's Julia?" he whispered.

"An alien," Sammy whispered back.

"Well the Alien is friendly," He answered.

"Ah, we better get back to the Colonel then before he does something stupid… like usual…"

Jack was just about to take down the Alien when Daniel and Sammy came back through the opening of the evil prison of … doom… and stuff.

"Danny, you're alive!" Jack declared running up to the other boy.

"Yup, the… uh… I mean… Julia's friendly." Daniel said brightly.

"Oh, you have little friends?" Julia asked, "Where's your parents?" Jack and Sammy shrugged in unison. Julia bent down.

"What are your names?"

"I'm Jack and this is Sammy," Jack answered, "Danny, why'd you leave?"

"Cause I've never seen a place like this Jack, it's fac'nating," Daniel answered. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Of course… you gotta stop wandering off! You coulda got hurt!"

"I wouldn't not have… it's not like we're offworld…" Daniel pouted.

"Danny I'm serious here," Jack glared crossing his arms. He looked over at Julia.

"He's from Egypt," he muttered to her as if it explained everything, "And you, why didn't you bring Danny back to us? We were worried!" Julia blinked. Was a little kid telling her off? Jeez, what a mother hen… wait…

"Egypt?"

"Yeah, that's where he comes from," Sammy piped up. Daniel nodded in agreement, "Yup. My parents study 'Giptian stuff." Daniel explained adjusting his glasses.

"And your parents are in Egypt?" she asked. Daniel nodded, "Yup,"

"Are you staying with Sammy and Jack?" she asked. Daniel blinked.

"Ummm, kinda…" he answered starting to feel uncomfortable hugging Pengy to him.

"Where are two from?" she asked Jack and Sammy.

"I'm from Chicago, I used to live in Minnesota though." Jack answered cheerfully, he turned to Daniel, "I need a leash for you or something," Daniel glared at Jack, "Don' baby me…" he threatened.

"I'm from Washington D.C." Sammy answered. The woman's eyes widened.

"Are you on a road trip?"

"No," the children answered.

"Who's looking after you?"

"Jack," Daniel answered. Jack grinned forgetting his anger.

"Well… yeah, me," He said proudly.

"Are you with an adult?" Julia asked biting her lip.

"Yeah, Harry," Jack answered rolling his eyes.

"JACK!"

"And heeeeeeeeeere's Harry," Jack announced. Maybourne ran up to the children panting slightly.

"Jack! What the heck are you DOING!"

"Excuse me sir, are you his father?" Julia asked suspiciously.

"He's not my Dad," Jack answered, "We met him at a gas station." Maybourne froze.

That didn't sound good coming from a little kid's mouth. He slowly looked up at Julia, whose eyes were narrowing suspiciously.

"You met him… at a gas station?"

"Now m'ma'am, I can explain—" Maybourne stuttered.

"KIDNAPPER!" she screamed as he tried to get closer. Bunches of people were up and out of their chairs in a moment running to Julia's aid. Most of them were parents.

"What's going on?" one man demanded.

"THIS MAN KIDNAPPED THESE CHILDREN! ONE OF THEM IS FROM EGYPT!" Julia cried. The people buzzed with horror and hate. The parents knew that the children's parents must be in horrible states worrying about what's happened to their kids. They slowly started closing in on Maybourne. Like crows surrounding road kill.

"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Maybourne yelled as the mob of parents came closer and closer.

"WAIT STOP!" Daniel shouted. The parents paused looking down at the little boy, who now had tears in his eyes. The other children looked much the same.

"Yeah, Harry's an idiot, but he helped us escape the Jerkwad Bozo who captured us," Jack declared. Sammy nodded in agreement. The parents looked up at Maybourne who was now cowering in fear. Assassins, aliens, politicians were scary… a mob of angry parents out for blood was… well he had nearly wet his pants. He nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes! I was on my way to take them to the…police—yeah, that's it… so that they could deal with this whole horrible mess." he said.

"I called the police on my cell," A mother said, "They'll take care of all this.

"What's a cell?" Jack whispered. The other children shrugged.

Meanwhile Harry's brain was working a mile a minute to find a reason not to hand the children over to the police.

"SAM! DANIEL, JACK!"

"DADDY!" Sammy squealed happily running through the crowd of people shooting into her father's arms holding on to him tightly. Daniel gave Jack a worried look. Jack shook his head and put his hand on Daniel's shoulder.

"Thank God you found them," Jacob sighed in relief carrying Sammy back to where Daniel and Jack were standing.

"Who are you?" Julia asked.

"I'm Jacob Carter, this is my daughter Samantha. I've been spending the last two days looking for these three. Jack's father and Daniel's parents are working on a government project. They were kidnapped to be used to barter for secret information, which could lead to the destruction of the country. Thank you sir, for saving them," Jacob said to Maybourne, "You'll come with me won't you?"

"Uh, no," Maybourne said hesitantly. Hell, if he ended up at that complex he would never see the light of day again, "I'm just a normal citizen doing the right thing." Jacob nodded reluctantly.

"Come on kids, let's go home," he said taking hold of Daniel and Jack's hands and giving Sammy a piggy back to the car.

Hawk: Ahh finally done this chapter! Please Review guys! Oh and I don't own Donald Duck (for that was who was on Daniel's dress shirt pocket) or sponge-bob.

Special thanks to my Dad and Mom who help throw around ideas.
