Daniel's Journals

by Nadie2

Set post-season, but pre-Sam going to Atlantis. In this story Walter publishes a daily SGC newspaper complete with betting pools, gossip, jokes, fanfiction, and Vala's wild tales of adventure. Vala begins swiping Daniel's journals, and publishing the "juicy bits" behind his back. This story is what she published, and various characters reacting to it in "intermissions."

Right now, I am four years old in Egypt. My parents are still alive. I really want to go there, and stop them from dying, but there are a lot of problems with it. First of all, I'm not sure that I could convince them. It didn't work in the Gamekeepers mind, and I haven't come up with new plans since them. Second of all, there is no way that I could get there in the time allotted. I would have to stay here forever if I save them. Third of all, there is no way that Sam would ever let me get away with it. It would mess up the whole space time continuum, or something.

But also, I don't really care. I want to save them. It couldn't knock the world off its axis too much just two little lives saved.

I can save the whole world, but I can't save them.

That's not even mentioning all the ancient civilizations that I could visit. Isn't time travel the archeologist's dream.
