"Purposefully put you into cardiac arrest? Are you kidding?" Cassie's mother scoffed. The girl had explained their idea to her friend's father, who had immediatly taken them to the infirmary to consult with the doctor.

"It's the only way!" Cassie urged her mother. Her cerainty was boistered by Cassi's, but she knew her friend was right.

"What's going on guys?" Sam asked when she walked in.

"Cassi wants me to put Cassie into cardiac arrest so she can get back into her own body" Janet told her.

"Would that work?" Sam questioned Cassie, very interested.

"Samantha!" Janet cried, outraged that her friend would even think of it.

"Mom, I know it's scary but it's not like you won't have any control! You can revive me as soon as Cassi is back in her body! And if it doesn't work, you can still revive me!" Cassie tried again.

"It's the only way, Janet" Jack added. That tipped the scales.

"I want permission from the General" she said and Sam ran off to find him. They moved Cassi's body to another bed so they could put Cassie right next to her. She was laying down when Sam and the General arrived. Sam had explained the idea on their way down and he now simply watched the preperations.

"Is this safe, Doctor?" he asked finally, and got a searing look fromt he mother who was about to "kill" her daughter.

"For a few minutes" she answered. Nurses swarmed around the two beds with monitors and other equipment. An image of both of the girls brains appeared, as well as the rest of their vitals. A nurse was preparing some sort of hyperdermic needle, while another attached wires to their temples and chests. The needle was handed to Janet. Teal'c and Daniel were suddenly standing around with everyone else. Cassie was laying down her eyes open and on her mother. Janet took a few steadying breaths and approached her.

"This won't hurt" she said, more for herself than for the Cassie's.

"We're ready" Cassie answered and closed her eyes. The needle punched through the skin and Janet slowly pushed it's contents into her daughter's blood stream. Behind her, Sam's hand seeked out Jack's. His eyes flicked to hers and then back at Cassie. He squeeze her fingers in his. Everybody watched the girls' vitals. Her worried mother announced everytime they dropped. The sound of her beeping heart beat rang like a giant gong through the otherwise absolutely silent room. Everyone caught their breaths when she flatlined.

"I'll give her two minutes" the Doctor announced.

"I though you could wait five" Hammond said. Another doctor handed her the shock paddles.

"Two is safer" Nobody argued. The silence resumed as they all waited for some sign that the two girls were back in their proper bodies.
