A/N yes much fun, I liked doing this, I actually started with this chapter first, I wanted Sam to clear her head a little hear but leave room for her to slip back into her little panic thing. I had to chuck Daniel and Vala on the planet because I think they're hilarious and although I will be jumping back and forth, I'll be spending more time on the planet than anywhere else.

New surroundings.

They'd been laying on the cold ground for hours, Sam slowly awoke, her head still fuzzy, and now aching, She tried to move, but her body replied with shooting pains down her back, she blinked, trying to clear her blurry sight, it was green, the grass was green, she slowly inched her neck to the left, once she moved it enough she knew the pain would lessen, trees, she saw trees, and birds, she could hear them in the distance, that s good, life sighs are good Suddenly the visions of jack being tortured replayed in her mind, she began shivering, she squeezed her eyes shut, remembering how dazed she had been in the minutes after that, it was embarrassing, she couldn't allow that to happen again, she was a soldier, and had to be strong, she knew as well as anyone, that both her own and her team mates lives depended on her keeping a level head.
She inched her head slowly to the left, there was Daniel on his stomach, with his arm wrapped around Vala's waist, Vala shifted, her leg twitched, and there was Todd sprawled alongside her, hand on her chest, she didn't appear to be fed on.

Sam inched her head further left, there was Rodney, curled up in the fetal position, and to the left of him, Jacob, her dad, already, beginning to sit up, holding his head.

The arm around her neck tightened, it must've been jack, she smiled, he'd, covered her to protect her,

'Dad' she choked

'Sam' Selmak replied in his husky voice

'Are you ok?' she asked as the arm tightened yet again, she pinched it and jack loosened his hold on her.

'Jacob is hurt, but I believe I can heal him, I will need some time though.' Selmak winced

'Ok, look after him' Sam moaned. As he lay back down

'Sam?' jack whispered groggily,

'Sir? You ok?' she asked

'No!' he snapped 'can-can you move?' she questioned.

'Yes why?'

'You're on top of me and you're hurting me'

'I feel like I laid in a bed of razors' he commented as he rolled of her and moaned in agony as he hit the ground.

Sam slowly felt the blood rushing through her body, she began moving again,

Then she heard Vala scream, 'oh my, oh my-my god, oh my god, arghh, oh my god, my god she screamed' while hyperventilating.

'Get of me, get of me, danieelll! Get it of meeee!' she continued as Todd jumped to his feet with a startled yell.

Sam was looking around they had rescued a little, but not much, the few back packs of supplies and the weapons they'd each carried.. Sam was thinking logically again, now kneeling on her knees, as Vala had spent the last two minutes screaming at Todd about whether he was trying to feed on her or not, she'd assessed the situation, they were alone, there was no DHD, and knowing they hadn't managed to bring a Naquda generator they seemed to be stranded, but the planet, seemed livable, and they had some tents, they could last several weeks on the rations, Jack, was wining and tugging on her vest by now,

'Sir?' she looked down at him.

'owwchies' he whined pointing, to his back.

Sam rolled him over 'staff weapon,' she informed him as she inspected his shoulder, 'it's clean, we can patch that up sir' she encouraged.
By now Todd, was yelling, and throwing his arms in the air.
Todd! Can you be quiet! Rodney moaned, Sam hadn't seen him awaken, but there he was headache, it's ok, he didn't eat you, or whatever, so shush! He demanded.

Todd huffed and walked towards the Stargate.

'ouch!' Rodney whined as he held the back of his neck

'You ok MacKay?' Sam asked

'No, I mean yes, I guess something always hurts, I'll survive, to save the universe another day, I suppose' he replied under sufferance, in truth he was fine but he would've liked to whine about it, only he was momentarily distracted by the gate.

Vala was trying to wake Daniel, slowly he shifted.

Rodney, was inspecting the gate, it didn't look as if it had been used in a while.

Several hours later Sam had finished patching everyone up, Selmak had finished his work, and Jacob had awoken. Vala and for the most part Daniel had made camp, there were four tents, they had positioned them in a row, and built a fire, and started boiling some tea. Rodney had spent his time working on the gate, looking for some sign of the DHD, or an alternate power sauce. And investing a lot of energy clearing out what little was left of the rations, namely the power bars, Taking into account Rodney s appetite, Sam decide to limit the rations, so that they would last the few weeks that she had hoped for rather than a few days.

The night approached quickly and they found themselves arguing over who slept in which tent.

'I think I need a man's protection' Vala winked at Daniel,

'Yes, yes, I like that idea, Sam?' Rodney smiled.

'Oh, I've, I've, uhh no' Sam stumbled

'Well I don t care, I got the end one,' jack smiled knowing Sam had already stored some of her gear in it.
'Well, where's he sleeping?' Vala asked as she pointed to Todd,
'it's ok, he's got his own tent' Jacob explained

'Are you sure?' she asked

'Yeeeesssss' replied jack as he headed off to his tent. He heard them continue to argue.

Daniel was doing a lot of mediating, jack could definitely hear that, Daniel was always the peacemaker; jack ignored the commotion, sitting down and continuing his book, something with a long title, about Einstein s theory of relativity.

It was a big book, but jack was always trying to understand the conversations that Sam would try to initiate, granted he was a lot smarter than he pretended; he often acted dumb just so that, he could have her undivided attention, for however long she explained whatever it was to him. But all the same it was nice to know what she was on about.

Suddenly Sam appeared in the doorway of the tent

'Getting your stuff carter?' jack mumbled

'No sir' she huffed

'Huh?' he didn't understand

'I'm moving in' she grinned widely.

'Oh good ... OH GOOD' he smiled, as the recognition hit him

'Thought you'd bunk in with Vala or Jake' he replied

'No Vala won't be separated from Daniel'

'like that'd kill her'

He intercepted

'Both of them' she added, as they both chuckled

'Jacob?' jack asked

'Rodney doesn't wanna stay with you' she rolled her eyes

'Me? What s wrong with me?' he sounded offended

'He's scared of you'

'Why?'

'The whole macho bravado, thing, its intimidating'

'Really? Am I?'

'No'

'What am I then?' he asked mischievously

'Endearing' she hesitated

'Really?' he asked

'No, but there s worse on this planet, that I could bunk in with' she attempted a conversation change

'Like?'

'Rodney' she grimaced

'Ha, well that works out well' jack mumbled as he rolled over. With a large grin spread across his face.

Sam began rolling her sleeping bag out,

'It worked' Jack chuckled trying to suppress his excitement knowing, he would be spending the next however long sleeping barley two inches away from her.

'What?' she asked, self consciously

Jack never answered her, she spent the next ten minutes, unpacking, sorting through her back pack, laying out her personal items at the head of her sleeping bag, as jack had already done.

She sat down and began her meditation for the day.

Jack rolled over casually, avoiding leaning on his shoulder, he propped himself up and smiled

'Hey, watcha doin? Kel-no-reem-ing?' he asked

'Yeah, well no, I'm meditating, it helps' she said softly.

Jack took a moment to look at her, 'helps with what?' he finally asked

'Huh?'

'You said it helps, with what?'

'Um, just getting all your thoughts into order, you know, working things out' she began stumbling

'Yeahp, I know' he smiled still staring at her.

She opened her eyes and stared back

'Dinners ready!' Vala's beaming smile had suddenly popped into the tent

'Thanks Vala' jack flickered her a fake smile.
'Ha! I interrupted something, didn't I? Ha! I did' she squealed excitedly 'Daniel, Daniel' she ran off into the distance.
