A/N ~ Sorry it took so long but between exams and getting delusion watching
Buffy I wasn't up to it. But after all the Sg-1 that's been on including
one of my favourite when Teal'c and Jack get stuck in a time loop I've got
the bug again. So it should be put up more often. Sorry about all the
talking no action. Please review my head needs some swelling.
P.S. I do not own Mickey Mouse.
Chapter Six
"Do I look fat in this?" Jack asked twirling so the rest of the guys could get a look from all angles. The clothes brought by the couple for them were Xander's and the Watcher's. The younger of the two fitted Teal'c even though the trousers were a little short while Jack and Daniel were forced to wear the tweed of the other.
"No, but I don't think that colour of shirt goes with those trousers. I'll swap you this waist coat for the pants" Daniel answered.
"I don't think so," Jack stressed turning catching sight of Sam coming down the stairs. Anya clothes fitted her a little tightly but she looked great. So different from her military self she was dressed all in red. A scoop long sleeved top and a knee length skirt with flat slippers. She was beautiful!!!
Xander came in catching the look between the two officers not commenting he flopped down beside Spike on the couch.
"So do you guys often find yourselves in different dimensions?"
"It has occurred twice before. Once through a mirror to DanielJackson and secondly by a solar flare which interferes with the stargate." Teal'c answered continuing to rummage around the guy's box though he was fully dressed.
"I was thinking." Xander said causing Spike to take his attention from the cartoons and give him a look. "Shut up!"
"Hey I didn't say anything. It's not my fault that you left yourself wide open."
"Why don't you just get lost, Spike. No one wants you around. I understand the whole stalking thing comes naturally but she's not interested and will never be."
Kicking the coffee table with his boot, Spike got up and looked down at Xander giving him a glare of absolute hatred. "You better be careful little man. One of these days you're going to find out………."
"That's enough, Spike." Buffy ordered coming into the room. "Why don't you just go?" he looked straight at her hard tilting his head the way he did every time she pulled out his heart and stomped on it. She was driving him mad.
Looking hurt behind his anger Spike argued, "But I didn't…..Fine. I guess I'll see you when you need my help." he stormed past them not looking back as she watched him pull out an umbrella from the stand and slam the door shut.
Everyone was silent until Willow came in carrying the box. "I've been thinking about the whole stargate and how to get you home problem. Couldn't we just build one?"
Sam came further into the room sitting on the arm of the couch next to Xander. "The stargate is an extremely advanced piece of technology. From looking around you don't seem that more advance than us."
The young man laughed patting her exposed knee. "Don't let looks fool you. We've got a whole lot of things that are far more powerful than technology."
"Xander now that you've stopped being Mr.Know-it-all, maybe we should head to the magic shop and get in research mode." Buffy sharply interrupted.
"Xander donut run." he said standing up, "I don't need to be told twice, Buff. Tell Anya I'll see you guys there." Waving goodbye he headed for the door, "Oh…….any requests from you guys on the brain food issue."
"Cherry pie" Jack answered looking at the his team for conformation until coming to rest on Teal'c who was alternating between a bright pink golf cap and a sun visor with Mickey Mouse ears attached in front of a mirror.
"Go with the ears Teal'c. They complement your superman t-shirt more." Jack insisted.
Teal'C turned and raised an eyebrow, "Indeed O'Neill"

"What do you mean people came through using the pillar??!!" Thoth asked calmly continuing to stroke the child's black hair, which lay against his knee. His human Prime said nothing continuing to look downwards. "You killed them of course?"
The man bowed down lower; a broken man who had failed his God and was about to be killed for it. He sucked in a breath, "My God. This is my fault let your divine judgement fall upon me."
"So you didn't kill them and now I don't have my young either." he tighten his hand on the child's head causing her to cry softly knowing that any more sound could cost her her life. The man's competence was none existenct, Thoth thought, once a Minster to their one true God he now wiggled like a worm on a hook.
"Don't worry, Michael. You're not going to die today, well not this hour anyway." Thoth released the child's head watching distastefully as it ran to its mother. Did this planet have anything other than disillusioned humans and power hungry monsters? All weak when faced with his greatness?
"You will go and get my box and deal with those who have it. Where are those who came through the pillar?"
"They have joined forces with the ones who stole your young………the Slayer."
Thoth looked away sharply from the child. "The Slayer. So we're finally going to battle. Move up all our plans." with a flick of this hand he gave his first human Prime permission to leave.
Before his servant left the hall Thoth said "Do not fail me in this." causing Michael to still but then keep walking followed by his lieutenants.

"This is an amazing machine." Sam exclaimed going over Willows laptop. "Did you do all these improvements yourself?" Willow blushed.
"It's not difficult. Now what you are doing is amazing!! Working out alien technology….gating around space. Nothing could be more exciting."
"Okay if you two have finished telling each other how wonder everything is have you got anything from the box." Jack enquired. Willow and Sam were sitting next to him on one side of the table with Xander and Anya on the other. Buffy was standing in front of the stairs as Teal'c leaned against the counter.
"I'm still running the text through the computer." Willow apologised.
"I've got a translation for the Goa'uld." Daniel said, "It refers to the beginning and end. Then goes on to talk about how over many moons old demons were replaced or changed turning the earth backwards till humans came. It doesn't make much sense."
"What else is new from old texts? Why are they always so damn cryptic?" Xander complained before Jack could.
A sudden burst of activity by Willow at her laptop grabbed their attention. "There's a line of demonic script going through the Goa'uld." Her brow furrowed with intense concentration. "I'm sure I've seen something like it before." looking up worried she suddenly remembered.
"The Books of Ascension."
"Willow, are you sure? You only got to look at them for a few minutes." Buffy argued not wanting to admit that the Mayor could have left an evil legacy other than Faith.
"I'm sure. Life and death situations give me a great memory. I saw this language." printing it of she handed the line to Daniel.
"Well I've not seen this but from all the books here I'd say there are a lot of languages I don't know. Do you happen to have these books?"
"No." Buffy coldly answered before turning around to sit on the steps.
"Something tells me there a story here." Daniel stated expectantly.
"This town is actually a big human buffet counter for this demon who was also this century's old mayor who needed the Books of Ascension to turn into an ultimate demon snake and rule the world." Anya stopped.
"Why is it always snakey things?" Jack grumbled. Getting a look from this team mates for interrupting, Willow finished.
"He changed at our high school graduation into a giant snake. We only managed to stop him by trapping him in the library and blowing the school up. We never got our hands on the Books only a few pages."
"So what's the plan?" Jack asked moving for the last piece of pie no longer surprised by anything these kids could tell him.
"We can't do much more until we discover what's in the box." randomly Buffy ran her hand over it picking it up from the step beside her and rattling it. Suddenly she was thrown across the room over the table and her friends' heads by a great white light hitting the floor with a deafening bang. Rushing towards her everyone helped her up except for Teal'c who aimed his newly acquired axe at the box.
"Are you okay?" Daniel asked amazed when the young woman immediately got up and began brushing her clothes down and fixing her hair.
"Teal'c don't." she ordered.
"Yes. We need to keep studying it." Daniel added. Teal'c merely raised an eyebrow not lowering the axe.
"No." Buffy countered not agreeing with his reason. "If you go around hitting it with axes it could do you a lot of damaged. Until we can work out a safe way to destroy it lets not get all destructo Barbie."
Jack smiled while Daniel scowled. She was a true soldier doing what needed done no matter the cost certainly not a book hugger. His type of girl.
"Willow have you any ideas how we can get around the protection spell?" she continued.
"There's not much I can do," she answered moving towards the box. "It must be a telepathically aware spell knowing when those around it mean it ill. Teal'c you better lower the axe."
Finally the large man did, having had instant trust of the young woman before him since they first met.
"I know of only two people who could really help now and since ones in another country…………." Willow said haltingly. "Tara." Finishing the sentence on a sigh.
Xander went over putting a comforting arm around her. Another story, which needed to be told, thought Sam.
"I'll go ask her and check out the graveyard where you guys dropped in." Buffy planned.
Jack retrieved his tweed jacket and put it on ready to follow her. "Where do you think your going?" she asked.
"With you and so is Teal'c. Sam and Daniel can stay here working on the box and you could use some back up if it's the graveyard you're going to."
Putting her hands on her hips she scowled up at him. "What made you think I would need your help sir?" she sarcastically dismissed. "Its more if you two stay here and look after the box. I have been managing perfectly well on my own for a long time now."
"Well I don't agree and that's final, Biffy. Show the way." He ordered waving a hand motioning her to go first.
She saluted and marched past him. "The name's Buffy."
"Ohhh…I could think of a few others." he shouted after her. "This is sooo going to be fun," he said to Teal'c as the silent bright pink golfing hat clad man passed him following Buffy who he in turn followed giving the others a warily smile before closing the door.
"This is not going to be pretty if he keeps giving her orders." Willow said as everyone left sat round the table.
At the enquiring look from Sam and Daniel she clarified, "Buffy doesn't work well with authority."
"Well they should get on great cause neither does Jack." Sam smiled. Wondering how long it would be before the pair came to blows. Jack was always passionate about everything he did. Her smile softened and she blushed lightly mulling over the possibilities that could rise from that for a second. Sighing she let Daniel capture her attention and got back to work.
