"This had better be good, Carter, or you will never hear the end of it," O'Neill complained.
"Well, Sir... I can't say for sure that it'll be good but..." Sam's voice trailed off as she tried to think of something to say that would make the Colonel forgive her if the movie turned out to be horribly awful. It had taken her and Daniel literally hours to persuade him to come to a sci-fi movie, of all things. He finally agreed, but made sure to emphasize that he was only going 'so that Teal'c wouldn't be disappointed.'
"Aw, come on, Jack. It's spending time with your friends that matters, not whether the movie is good," Daniel joked, trying to save Sam from the Colonel's mock abuse.
"I believe that DanielJackson has a point," Teal'c agreed, picking up on the team's teasing, "and I have been greatly anticipating this movie. I have watched the original ten times."
"If this turns out to be a bomb, I'm holding you all accountable. I'll order all of you to come fishing with me!" O'Neill's threat got a round of laughter from the two scientists and an amused smile from the Jaffa.
"Sam, I can't believe you wore that," Daniel laughed, referring to her black T-shirt which had the words 'Anakin Skywalker' scrawled across the front.
"We gave that to you as a joke," Jack added.
Sam smiled devilishly, "I know. I thought I could be more of an embarrassment to you guys this way."
The four entered the theatre and took their seats. "You can't embarrass me. My Jedi powers prevent it," Daniel grinned.
"All right, Master Jackson," Sam quipped as she playfully elbowed him in the ribs, "Let's see your powers."
"I'll demonstrate later," he said as he smiled and raised his eyebrows for emphasis.
Sam stifled her laugh as the lights began to dim and the previews began. Eventually, the theatre became darker, and familiar theme music began playing as text scrolled upward from the bottom of the movie screen.
"Episode II
ATTACK OF THE CLONES
There is unrest in the Galactic
Senate. Several thousand solar
systems have declared their
intentions to leave the Republic.
This separatist movement, under
the leadership of the mysterious
Count Dooku, has made it difficult
for the limited number of Jedi
Knights to maintain peace and
order in the galaxy.
Senator Amidala, the former Queen
of Naboo, is returning to the
Galactic Senate to vote on the
critical issue of creating an
ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC to assist
the overwhelmed Jedi...."
The music faded and the image of a clear blue planet appeared as two Naboo N-1 starfighters soared past, followed by a royal cruiser and then more starfighters.
Inside the cruiser, an officer reported, "Senator, we're making our final approach into Coruscant."
"Very good, Lieutenant," replied the woman.
The ships flew through the clouds and down into the city. An enormous gold ship shaped like a pyramid seemed to lurk behind the cruiser as it dipped below the white myst.
Sam's back straightened and her eyes grew large. *What the... Was that a Goa'uld ship?* she wondered. *Don't tell me we've got more leaks giving out information about the SGC.*
Daniel noticed her reaction and leaned toward her, whispering, "Are you all right?"
Sam searched his face for any indication that he'd witnessed the same sight that she had. She found nothing but concern for her. "Yeah, but... Daniel, did any of that seem a little unusual to you."
Daniel became confused, "Not really. Are you sure you're all right?"
"Will you guys keep it down?" O'Neill whispered insistently.
"Fine," she reassured him and motioned toward the movie to indicate that they should focus their attentions back on the screen.
"We made it," a character on screen was saying to the starfighter pilot standing next to him. "I guess I was wrong. There was no danger at all." A huge ball of fire suddenly burst forth from the ship as the Senator proceeded down the ramp. It enveloped her and her guards, and knocked everyone else on the landing platform to the ground.
As the ship continued to burn, the starfighter pilot ran toward the fallen Senator, removing 'his' helmet to reveal the real Senator Padme Amidala. "Corde ..."
"M'lady, I'm so sorry. I failed you, Senator," the dying woman cried.
"No..." Amidala wept.
"M'lady, you're still in danger here," Captain Typho exclaimed. Amidala's head of security expressed that she must leave immediately, but she didn't move. She stood fighting back her tears over her lifeless friend. "Senator Amidala, please," he said as he guided her away from the body and off the landing pad.
The scene changed to a chamber where five Jedi were seated in a discussion with Chancellor Palpatine. "I don't know how much longer I can hold off the vote, my friends," Palatine stated matter-of-factly from behind his desk. "More and more star systems are joining the separatists."
"If they do break away?" Mace Windu questioned.
"I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two." The camera moved in on a close-up of the Chancellor. "My negotiations will not fail," he stated as he eyes began to glow with a yellow hue.
This time Daniel was the one who became startled. "Whoa...," he muttered in astonishment.
"What?" Sam whispered.
"Did you just see...?" Daniel asked as he gestured toward his eyes.
"Huh?" It was Sam's turn to be confused. "Are you sure you're all right?"
"No... I mean, yes, I'm fine. Just a minor... delusion..."
Sam stared at him with a look of concern and confusion mixed with a hint of 'Are you insane?'
"Will you two cut it out. Teal'c is trying to enjoy the movie," the Colonel scolded.
Daniel shook his head slightly and waved off Sam's concerns as he turned back to the screen. Sam looked at him for a few seconds more, trying to ascertain whether there really was a problem. Daniel noticed, and glanced back at her. He smiled and motioned to the movie with his eyes.
On screen, the Jedi had just finished their meeting, and Yoda was standing to leave as Senator Amidala's party entered the room.
"Senator Amidala, your tragedy on the landing platform. Terrible. Seeing you alive brings warm feelings to my heart," Yoda stated.
"Do you have any idea who's behind this attack?" Amidala questioned.
Windu stated that they believed it was disgruntled spice miners, while Amidala expressed her thoughts that Count Dooku was behind the attack. The Jedi let her know that since Dooku used to be a Jedi, he could not be an assassin. However, they did feel that Amidala was in grave danger. The Chancellor suggested that the Jedi watch over the Senator despite her protests. It was agreed that Master Obi-Wan Kenobi would keep watch over her.
The scene changed again to reveal Obi-Wan traveling in an elevator with his apprentice. "You seem a little on edge," Kenobi observed.
"Not at all," the younger man countered.
"I haven't felt you this tense since we fell into that nest of gundargs."
"You fell into that nightmare, Master, and I rescued you remember."
"Oh... yes." Obi-Wan chuckled. "You're sweating. Relax."
"I haven't seen her in ten years, Master."
The scene changed again to Jar-Jar Binks as he walked down a corridor. Binks came to a doorway and gleefully greeted the familiar Jedi. He called to Padme, and the three exchanged greetings. Anakin Skywalker appeared love-struck as he spoke.
Kenobi, Amidala, and Typho began discussing the security arrangements. Anakin assured the Senator that they would find her attacker, and Obi-Wan informed him that they were not to overstep their mandate as protectors. Kenobi and Skywalker spoke heatedly when the apprenticed contradicted his master in public. Kenobi finished the disagreement by commanding, "You will learn your place, young one."
The Senator took leave of the group, and Anakin told Jar-Jar of his disappointment that Padme had not been more pleased to see him. Then Obi-Wan insisted that they turn their attention toward security measures.
The scene changed to an individual walking away from an airspeeder. This individual had a long cape, a large staff, and an armored suit with a helmet shaped like a cobra.
*Serpent guard!!* Alarms went off in Jack's head, as he blinked twice, trying to determine if he had seen correctly. He shifted his eyes toward the Jaffa on his right and saw that he was watching the scene intently. Then, he glanced at Carter and saw the she also had had no reaction. *Woah,* he thought as he quickly rubbed his eyes and shook his head.
He looked up to see the person from the airspeeder. She was definitely not a Jaffa, but a woman who was referred to as Zam, and she had just received a canister of poison from her comrade.
The scene returned to Amidala's apartment as Kenobi and Skywalker discussed the protection of the Senator. Anakin informed his master that she had insisted on using herself as bait to reveal the assassin. The conversation of the Jedi turned to Anakin's romantic feelings for Padme, and Obi-Wan reproached him for this as a ASN-121 droid released two serpent-like creatures, whitish gray in color, with tentacles that seemed like fangs extending from what appeared to be their mouth and gills on each side of their heads.
Teal'c cocked his head and raised his eyebrows. Then, he glanced to his left at his friends to determine whether the creatures appeared to them to be Goa'uld or whether his eyes were deceiving him. The others showed no adverse reactions, so the Jaffa continued watching the movie.
The creatures crawled across Amidala's bed, undetected by the R2 unit that watched over her. As they moved upward, the two Jedi sensed their presence and raced in. Anakin was just in time to bat them off the woman and cut them in two with his light saber.
Kenobi, seeing the droid, leapt through the glass and grabbed hold of it. It took off to return to its master with the Jedi in tow. Anakin raced to his airspeeder in order to pursue. Zam saw the older Jedi coming and shot her droid down with her sniper riffle to prevent him from finding her. Kenobi plummeted toward the ground and landed in Skywalker's speeder.
The pair chased the assassin through the repulsorlift traffic. Anakin sent the speeder into a nosedive, and the theatre turned ninety degrees so that the screen now appeared to be the floor. Suddenly Sam felt as though gravity was going to throw her directly into the screen. She gripped the arms of the seat tightly and her face turned white.
Daniel noticed and gave her another 'Are you all right?' look. The room became upright again as Anakin pulled up on the speeder, and Sam responded with a weak smile to reassure her friend.
"Something wrong, Major?" Jack whispered.
"No, Sir. I think I just need some air."
"I'll go with you," Daniel volunteered. "We'll be right back, Jack."
The Colonel nodded as Sam stood, followed by Daniel. They walked up the aisle and through the theatre door. Teal'c, engrossed in the prequel to one of his favorite movies, barely noticed their departure.
On screen, the assassin's speeder crashed and Anakin and Obi-Wan chased her into a nightclub.
"My kinda place," O'Neill smirked at Teal'c.
The Jaffa responded with a slight smiled and a nod, "Indeed."
"What can I do for you boys?" a silky female voiced asked from beside Jack. Confused, the Colonel turned his head to see a scantily clad woman standing next to him. Shaking his head, he uttered, "Excuse me?"
"Can I get you something to drink?" The woman was dressed in a skin-tight blue outfit, her hair twisted above her head in a snake-like fashion, and she carried a tray as though she were a server.
"What...?" He was perplexed as he turned toward Teal'c and noticed that the entire theatre was now filled with alien looking people drinking and gambling. There were so many people that he could no longer see a movie screen or any of the exits.
The Jaffa also noticed the situation and asked the woman, "What has just transpired?"
She smiled at them and answered, "If you don't know what's going on, maybe you should cut back on the drinks." Then she turned and moved on to her next customer.
A man who seemed to pass as the resident drug dealer crept up to them and inquired, "Interest you in some death sticks?"
O'Neill smiled mockingly and stated, "I think we've had our fill for today."
"Here, keep one... on the house." He gave them a wicked smiled. "It goes great with toast. I'll be around if you need more," the man said, and he slipped away before the pair could refuse.
"I can't believe it's not butter," Jack muttered sarcastically.
"I have very little trouble believing it is not butter, O'Neill."
"Never mind."
*******************************
Outside the theater, Daniel leaned against the wall waiting for Sam to exit the restroom where she was splashing water on her face. She came out the door and walked toward him, smiling. He smiled back.
"Feel better?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure nothing's wrong?" he questioned.
"Everything's fine. I think just got a little claustrophobic, that's all."
"I've never known you to be claustrophobic before," he doubted her excuse.
"Daniel, I promise I'm fine," she forced herself to smile to show him that she was perfectly okay.
"If you say so," he said. He started to turn back to the theatre, but changed his mind. "You know you can tell me if there's something wrong, right?"
Sam should have known that she couldn't hide anything from Daniel. "I just got a little disoriented. It felt like I was falling."
Daniel's expression grew more concerned. "If you're not feeling well, I'll drive you home. I can go give Jack some excuse, and we can leave now," he offered.
Sam was tempted to accept, but she didn't want to let her friends down on one of their rare evenings away from the stargate together. "It's okay. I'm fine now."
"Are you sure?"
Thinking about spending time with her friends had brought her back into good spirits, and she smiled as she told him "Yeah. Ready to go back in?"
"I am if you are," he said and put his arm around her shoulder in a short, friendly hug as he guided her toward the theatre doors.
As they walked through the entrance, they could see that it was still dark inside, but something was different. The door closed behind them before their eyes adjusted to the light, and they realized that the room no longer possessed any semblance of a theatre. In fact, it appeared to be more of a nightclub.
Daniel turned to reach for the theatre door, but discovered that it was no longer there. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto...," he muttered as he looked around in shock.
