Chapter 1

Daniel stood in his office feeding Jonas' fish. He had been quite surprised by Jonas's request. After all, Daniel knew little to nothing about fish. They were one of the few things he was not an expert on. In fact, he didn't even know what kind they were. They kind of looked like goldfish, but kind of looked like…something else.

-Well guys, I guess you must miss Jonas huh? I mean, I don't even know what kind of fish you are, let alone if you have names or anything. You'll have to bear with me as I figure out what I'm doing. But, we'll get to be good friends as we get to know each other.

Suddenly Daniel heard a knock on the door.

-Since when do you talk to fish, Danny?

Daniel flushed slightly.

-Well, uh…what are you doing here, Jack?

-I came to see what you were doing.

-Oh. Well, I'm feeding Jonas' fish and thinking.

-Oh no. Let me sit down here.

Jack grabbed a nearby chair and straddled it.

-Ok my dear doctor. What are you thinking about today? Is it some new connection between the pyramids and the tides of the moon? Or a theory on the relationship of interplanetary cultures? Or, I really like this one, did you figure out why grass is green?

-Well…uh…grass is green because of the chlorophyll in it.

-Oh, I knew that.

-And uh, actually…I was thinking about Jonas.

-Oh. What?

Daniel smiled. It sure was good to be home again.

-Well, you know he asked me to feed his fish…

-Yah. I was wondering about that. Why'd he ask you?

-I don't know if it's because we had the same office or if he knew you'd kill them or…

-For your information I'm very good with fish. Every time I go fishing I feed them worms and no harm ever comes to them.

-Right. Well, as I was saying, I don't know why he chose me. In fact, I really don't know that much about him at all. I mean, I only met him 3 times.

-Only 3?

-Yah. The first time was on Kelowna when I uh…had my run in with a lethal dose of radiation. The second was when I 'dropped in' on Abydos and got myself, how'd you put it?, kicked out of the Oma Desala fan club. The third was a week ago when we went on a mission together aboard Anubis' ship. And you know my memory, I really only remember the last one.

-Hmm…

-So, tell me about him. Tell me about the man whose fish I'm feeding.

Jack smiled.

-You got a couple hours?

-Yah actually.

-Ok.

Jack settled in his chair.
