Thanks Farzana for beta-ing!!

Jack turned off the TV turned to Carter, "So what do you think?"

"I think we need to get going." Colonel O'Neill said, standing.

"Indeed, " Teal'c said. He had remained quiet during their stay; the looks he was receiving from Tebias and Makepeace were slightly offencive (Offensive). They were prejudiced (prejudiced) against him, and though it was not the first time he'd felt that sort of thing, it still made him uncomfortable.

"But," Jack protested.

"Colonel O'Neill's right, we don't belong here." Carter stated. She turned and followed the rest of her team out the door. He (who?) marched down the hall to the elevator.

"Bye now," Tabias sneered, her eyes narrowing as she looked Carter up and down.

"Captain," Jack warned.

"Just being polite," Tebias said sweetly. The elevator dinged its arrival, and she turned her back on the group.

"Well it was nice while it lasted." O'Neill quipped.

"It was interesting," Daniel nodded. He shook hands with Dr. Jackson, Makepeace and Jack. The elevator door swung open and he and Teal'c stepped in. "Uh, I don't think we will be seeing each other again soon."

Dr. Jackson nodded in agreement.

"Um, I really don't know what to say." Carter said, she looked at her hands. When she finally looked up he was smiling.

"Uh, sorry kids, but we need to blow this pop cycle stand." Col. O'Neill interrupted.

"You're cute when you're embarrassed." Jack whispered to Carter.

"Tell that to your wife." Carter returned smirking herself.

Sg-1 stood around the mirror, in their own reality.

"Well that was interesting." Daniel commented.

"What was the point of this?" Carter asked no one in particular.

"Say, Major, whacha think about that?" O'Neill asked, his eyebrow raised. "Superstar!" he mimicked the famous movie line. Everyone took notice how he left out the oh-so-obvious attraction between the other reality's version of themselves. "Boy is that Tebias a bitch!"

Daniel put his arm around Sam's shoulders and gave her an understanding smile. "How ya doin'?"

"Fine." Carter returned the smile weakly. They watched O'Neill's retreating back and recalled all that had occurred in the other reality, all that they had learned. Sam recalled the audition offer she'd gotten when she was in university. That must have been where it changed, she thought. So, if she'd taken up audition she could have been a big star. She didn't know which was better, being a famous actress/singer or saving the world.

"You sure?" He looked down into her blue eyes.

"Yeah I guess. That," she jerked her thumb at the mirror, "was weird."

"I know," shaking his head he looked at Colonel O'Neill's retreating back. "How do you think he's taking it?"

"Blah," Sam dropped her head on Daniel's shoulder, "how should I know?" They both laughed gently, "I bet HE doesn't even know."
