A/N: Well, I got bored while at home, so I decided to throw this out for you. Enjoy it folks, and be sure to keep reviewing. A hint: the more reviews, the more chapters. R&R!!!
When Jack and Teal'c arrived back at the temple, they were led straight to the room that the others were in. Daniel had finally dried off enough to not shiver, Janet was checking and re-checking her pack, and Sam was doing a sweep of the small room.
"Honey, we're home!" Jack called as he and the Jaffa walked in.
Whoa. What happened to you? He asked mentally to Daniel as the younger man shook his head violently, trying to dry it a bit more.
Thalia has a mean sense of humor. Daniel replied, shaking once again and covering his CO in water droplets.
Hey, watch it! "So, where are everyone's quarters?" Jack asked, looking around the room.
"These are our quarters. Thalia wants to keep us together for observation while we recover." Sam informed him. Jack nodded. He actually preferred it this way, so that he could keep an eye on his team easier. He winced as he heard Sam, Daniel, and Janet's mind begin to talk over top of one another about various things.
Naquada. Maybe she knows where some is or....
Needles- 16 gauge, 14 gauge, 20 gauge, check...oh, and the really really big one to scare Jack... This, of course, was Janet and Jack glared at her, then turned to listen to Daniel.
I wonder if she is responsible for the Chinese finger trap... maybe that was someone else...
"Guys! Stop it! You are giving me a headache." Jack said, and the three stopped as much as possible. He glared hard at Daniel as the man thought, Maybe she would find taping Jack's mouth shut amusing. I know I would.
"Alright, well, obviously we have our equipment back. What about our weapons?"
"She kept those, but said she would return them to us at a later time." Sam said. Jack nodded, none too happy about being weapon-less. However, since the rest of the team didn't seem perturbed by it, he relaxed slightly.
"Ok. Well, then what do we do here while we wait to become normal again?" the Colonel asked, already getting bored.
"Don't know, sir. I guess just.... Err.... Hang out." Sam replied, sitting down next to her pack. Jack took his time to notice the room. It was much like the main room that they had all arrived in, but without the gaudy throne and it held 5 beds all pushed closely together. Retrieving his own pack from the corner, Jack claimed a bed closest to the door and laid down.
"Well, I want one person on watch at all times. Teal'c, then Daniel, then Doc, then Sam, then me." He said, getting comfortable on the bed. They all nodded and chose a bed to lay down on. It didn't go unnoticed by anyone that Daniel and Janet chose beds next to each other, placing Sam beside Jack, and Teal'c got the last bed. He wouldn't use it anyway, so they weren't concerned. Teal'c took up watch in the far corner of the room, facing toward the door and the team as the rest fell asleep.
As Daniel settled in for his watch, he sat down in the same corner that Teal'c had vacated. He was tired, but used to having to be awake and alert at odd hours. He was just getting comfortable when he heard a noise come from the other side of the room. His ears perked up Hey, mine can perk up....cant yours?, as he strained for the sound.
"Daniel? Where are you?" he heard Janet call.
"Over here." He whispered and waited as she navigated over to where he sat. She plopped down beside him and leaned back against the wall. "Cant sleep?"
"No." Janet shook her head. Daniel studied her closely and saw the dark lines under her eyes. She looked like she was either about to pass out or cry.
"You ok?" He asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, fine. Just...cant sleep." Daniel remained staring at her as her eyes closed.
I would give anything to have her lean against me. He thought to himeslf, glad Jack and Sam were asleep and couldn't hear him. He knew they were asleep because of all the wild and weird things going through his mind.
Run away, bunnies! Run away!...
London bridge is falling down...
Run bunnies! The bridge is going to collapse! It is supposed to be made of Naquada, I don't understand! RUN!
It isn't made of Naquada, it is made of bananas. No wonder it is falling down!
Daniel nearly laughed out loud as their dreams mixed and became one. He was pulled out of his reverie, however, when he felt a solid weight ease onto his shoulder. Looking down and over, he saw that Janet had fallen asleep on him. Hmmm, maybe she did hear me. he thought. Not arguing, he carefully wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Janet murmured in her sleep and snuggled closer.
"Daniel pillow. Nice. Cant wait..." Janet sighed, unknowingly having told Daniel more than he ever thought he would hear. He pulled her closer and held her as he relaxed into his watch.
Definitely the best watch I have ever had. he thought.
Thalia watched from the other side of the room with a grin. She had had very little hand in what had just played out, but was grateful that she has come up with sleeping powder all those centuries ago. Janet had been fully awake, but not for long with Thalia around. Maybe tomorrow night, she could get them even closer, just like the other two. Glancing over at the two other sleeping officers, she moved their beds closer and grinned as they moved to spoon their bodies together. Yes, tomorrow was going to be interesting.
