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."
