Sam and Teal'c handed their bags to Cam, asking him to take them to whatever quarters they had been given.

He, of course, agreed and the two were soon stepping though the gate once more to go and help Rodney. After the worm hole had disengaged once more John turned to Cam and asked, "Would you like me to show you where you're being put up?"

Cam nodded, "I'd appreciate that, and I was wondering if I could take a look around. I've heard a lot about Atlantis but didn't really have a chance to look around the last time I was here."

"Of course," Elizabeth said, "John can show you around since all his paperwork is up to date."

John picked up some of the bags, while Cam grabbed the rest. Elizabeth watched them walk away before returning to her office, she needed to think about how she was going to write the report about what happened to John on the planet and how it had affected their 'relationship'.

Teal'c and Sam stepped through the gate and were greeted by Ronan and Teyla. While Teal'c and Ronan sized each other up Sam looked at Teyla, "So you must be Teyla Emmagan. I've heard a lot about you."

Teyla inclined her head, "And I you Colonel Carter."

Sam looked around the planet and smiled lightly to herself. "So where is McKay?" she asked Teyla.

"I will take you to him," Teyla answered before turning and leading Sam towards the trees.

They walked in silence until Rodney came into sight. He looked up as he heard them approach. "Ah Samantha. How lovely to see you again," he said.

Sam gave him a smile. "Hello McKay," she said before squatting beside him and examining the device. "So what does it do?" she questioned, running her hand over it, feeling the smooth surface and noting that it felt slightly warm to the touch.

"Um," Rodney started, "We first arrived on the planet three days ago and when we started to explore these woods Colonel Sheppard was knocked unconscious, although later on Atlantis we found that he was just in a deep sleep that we couldn't rouse him from. After he was taken back to Atlantis by a medical team we carried on exploring the area and came across a woman called Rachel who explained to us what happened and how to wake John up."

He stopped speaking and looked at Sam, who rolled her eyes and said, "And? That doesn't explain what the machine does, and why it only affected Colonel Sheppard and not the rest of your team."

Rodney sighed, "Rachel told us a story that was very similar to Sleeping Beauty, that a spirit in the forest could sense if someone was in love. Now if the feelings had been acted upon, or were not returned than the person was ignored, but if the feelings were returned but nothing had been done about it then the person would get put into a deep sleep that only their loves kiss could wake them from." As he spoke Sam became paler and paler but Rodney didn't notice and carried on speaking, "But I found this machine and I think that it cause John's stay in the infirmary rather than a spirit."

"John and Elizabeth," Sam whispered to herself before getting to her feet and saying in a louder voice, "I have to get off this planet now."

Teyla and Rodney both gave her shocked looks but before either could say anything the machine in front of them began to hum and there was a blinding light. Once Teyla and Rodney could see again they saw that Sam was lying on the floor, unconscious. They looked at each other, shocked. Rodney opened his mouth to say something but snapped it shut again when Teal'c and Ronan came bursting into the clearing.

"We saw the light from the gate," Ronan explained while Teal'c knelt beside Sam and checked for a pulse.

"What happened?" Teal'c asked once he was satisfied that Sam was only unconscious.

Rodney was still too shocked to speak so Teyla said, "Everything will be explained on Atlantis Teal'c, as soon as we get Colonel Carter to the infirmary."

"Indeed," Teal'c said before picking Sam up and holding her against his chest.

The group made their way back towards the gate, Teyla going ahead to dial the gate and inform Atlantis of the situation. Teal'c came next, carrying Sam carefully while behind him Ronan walked beside Rodney, helping the scientist carry his equipment.

At the same time, in another galaxy, General Jack O'Neill was in his office trying to get some paper work done when he heard the unmistakable voice of his old second saying, "Hi sir."
