A/N: I'M BAAAAAAAACK! Sorry it took so long for this new chapter, but Vegas kept me busy. Thank you, JaneDoe612, for the suggestion. I did, in fact, check out the Luxor. I actually knew a lot of the statues and the history behind the symbols inside of there, thanks to watching Stargate! For those who might not know, the Luxor is a casino in Las Vegas shaped like a pyramid and is themed in Ancient Egyptian stuff. Anyway, now that my muse and I are broke, it is back to writing. Enjoy and please keep sending reviews, guys. Love ya!
Walk like and Egyptian....
Jack! Stop singing already! Daniel cried out as he stretched out on his bed.
Sorry. It's Thalia's fault! Jack blamed.
Oh no, Colonel O'Neill. I cant be blamed for your singing. Thalia interjected from her side of the temple. She could still hear them while she pondered how to help them in any was she could. She had sealed off the room that Jack had wandered into, to stop further mishaps. No matter how funny they were.
Thalia, please give us separate rooms. I don't want to hear Jack's warbling anymore. Daniel pleaded and Jack glared at him. Thalia pondered his request and decided it wouldn't hurt to do just that.
Alright. That will be better, but still safe. Thalia said. Everyone looked at one another, trying to decide who was going to share with whom, but Thalia had already decided. In a flash of bright light, Daniel, Janet, and Teal'c disappeared, leaving Jack and Sam in one room. Daniel and Janet appeared in the room next to the original, and Teal'c in one just beside that.
Um....we weren't going to exactly split up like this. Daniel said, glancing briefly at Janet.
Too bad. Thalia said, the barely suppressed giggle evident in her voice. Daniel, Jack, and Sam rolled their eyes at the Goa'uld's answer, then settled down for bed. Jack was not pleased by this slight turn of events, but his instincts told him the team would be fine. He usually trusted his instincts, and found himself also oddly trusting Thalia, so he didn't complain. Instead, he got comfortable and fell into a light sleep beside his 2IC.
Late that night, Daniel had waken from a restless sleep. He watched Janet sleep for a few minutes, enjoying the peaceful tranquility induced by her soft breathing. He gently reached over and brushed a hand through her hair, careful not to wake her. Sighing heavily, he stood up. He needed to walk some, let his mind think a bit before he tried to sleep again. He began to roam the temple, not really noticing where he was going. As he turned a corner, he stopped mid stride as a voice came from the room he was near.
"How long you going to keep this up, Thalia?...I know you say you can't do anything, but somehow I just don't believe you...They are a cute couple, aren't they? And so are the other two...Oh, I am a romantic? So are you, and don't deny it..." The young, feminine voice argued. Daniel listened to the one-sided conversation for a few moments, trying to figure out who the voice belonged to. Whoever it was, was speaking aloud to Thalia, and was apparently being answered back. His curiosity got the better of him, and walked into the room. In front of him was Thalia, talking to herself in a different voice. She hadn't noticed Daniel when he came in, but heard him as he spoke.
"Thalia?" he questioned. Thalia turned to look at him and smiled.
"Daniel Jackson. It is a pleasure to meet you." She said, only it wasn't Thalia's voice.
"You're the host." Daniel guessed and the girl nodded.
"I am. My name is Triss. pronounced Tr-eess, not like "trees" ummm, it sounds like "fleece" I don't know, I made it up.I am Thalia's host." Triss introduced herself. Daniel moved closer, studying her.
"Thalia gives you control?" he questioned.
"Yes, but only when others are not around. She fears that the other Goa'uld would disapprove too much. Her and her sisters try to not draw much attention to themselves at all costs." Triss explained.
"So, Thalia is actually like a Tok'ra." Daniel murmured to himself.
"Yes, very much so, but her kind, her sisters, are not a warring group, unlike the Tok-ra." Triss agreed. Daniel nodded in understanding, then moved to stand closer. He and Triss discussed what it was like to be with Thalia, and Daniel grinned as Triss and Thalia occasionally bantered back and forth. They sounded much like Daniel and Jack did on occasions.
"I want to ask him, Thalia...please...well, you certainly aren't doing much about it...not enough...no, Thalia!" Triss cried as Thalia took back over. Her eyes glowed briefly, but then she smiled at Daniel.
"Hello again, Dr. Jackson. I apologize for my host, she wants to do things her way, and does not realize that it would be erroneous to do so." Thalia explained, wincing as Triss argued mentally with her. Daniel was surprised not to be able to hear Triss. "Had you been here before your telepathy began to fade slightly, you would have been able to hear her. Luckily for you, now you cannot." Thalia said with another wince. Daniel smiled.
"What does she want to do?" he asked cautiously. Thalia and Triss argued for a moment before Thalia sighed and looked to Daniel apologetically.
"She wished me to interfere to...mate you and Dr. Frasier together faster."
"Faster?!" Daniel yelped.
"We have already determined that you two will end up mated together, but Triss want to, well, hurry it along." Thalia explained. Daniel was by now doing a fair impression of a fish out of water.
"Let me talk to Triss, please, Thalia." He sputtered. Thalia nodded and her head dipped down as Triss took over.
"Dr. Jackson, I am only trying to speed up a process that will be achieved anyway in the future." Triss said, before Daniel could question her.
"How do you know that Janet and I will end up together?" he asked.
"It is obvious. You hold strong feelings for the doctor, as she hold strong feelings for you. The past week should have proven that, Dr. Jackson." Triss said with a knowing smile. Daniel shook his head.
"I am going back to bed. I hope to speak more with you soon, though, Triss. Goodnight to you, too, Thalia."
"Goodnight, Dr. Jackson." Triss answered for the both of them. As Daniel walked out of the room, Triss grinned.
I believe you embarrassed him. Thalia said.
I believe I brought a possibility to his mind that he hadn't considered. Triss retorted.
What is that?
A future with the lovely Janet Frasier.
A/N: Ok, if this chapter seemed a bit odd to anyone, blame my muse. She isn't happy with me and is very tired since her and I drove out to Vegas straight through (a 31 hour drive for us.) So...blame her! R&R!!!
