Ch19: she's back..
[June 1st, 2003]
"I can't believe it's pouring outside! On the weather channel they said it was going to be sunny!" Nat complained as she looked out the car window. Daniel tried to concentrate on his driving because the rain was so heavy.
"You win some you lose some. So what do you want for dinner? Chinese, pizza or burger king?" Daniel asked, taking his eyes off the road for a split second to look at Nat.
"They're the options?" Nat asked, dissapointed.
"Yeah, well, they're the resturants that are on the way home. I don't really want to drive an extra half an hour to get food in this rain," Daniel smiled sheepishly. He realised that Nat was staring at him. "What?" He smiled.
"Nothing," Nat smiled, and then went back to looking out the window. "Just thinking you're hotter now than you were when I was growing up.. as an old man..Which is quite confusing because when I was younger, you were older and I'm not really into older men, and now when im older, you're younger.." Nat realised that she was babbling and gave up talking. She and let out a little huff and went back to looking out the window.
"You know, I have NO idea what you were on about.. So when I'm old, I'm a pervert?" Dan whined.
"No! No! I mean.. oh man.. my past is your future so I don't know whether to speak in past tense or future tense! Don't worry. I'm just thinking out loud. Let's just get Chinese for dinner," Nat instructed, pointing to the Chinese resturant down the road.
"Chinese? What's that got to do with me being old? You know you can really stirr me sometimes!" Daniel grumbled, trying to hold back his smile. Nat smiled sheepishly.
They ordered their chinese to go and headed home.
--BANG! --
"What was that!"
Daniel grumbled. "Flat tire," he replied. He got out of the car to check the front tire, which had blown. Nat remained in the car. After a minute, Daniel got back in the car, soaking wet.
"Do you know how to change a flat tire?" Dan asked sheepishly.
"YOU, a man, don't know how to change a tire?" Nat was surprised.
"Hey! I'm an archaeologist, not a mechanic! Do you know how to change a tire?"
"Yeah, I do," Nat huffed as she got out of the car in the pouring rain.
Nat changed the tire and they made their way back to their apartment building. They were both socking wet from head to toe. Their shoes made trudging sounds as they headed into the elevator. As the elevator headed up to Nat's floor, Daniel watched as Nat tried to make her soaked hair look semi-decent. "So.." Daniel began, getting Nat's attention. "Your place or mine?' He asked with a cheeky look on his face.
Nat put a wet arm around Daniel's waist. "I'll get a change of clothes from my room, then we'll go to yours.
[Daniel's apartment]
"Oh! I tried so hard to resist the urge to ring out my shirt in the elevator!" Nat exclaimed as she headed straight for the bathroom.
"And what would've been wrong with that?" Daniel joked as he watched Nat take off her shoes and socks along the way to the bathroom.
"Because I don't want to make some old lady slip over because I left a puddle of water on the elevator floor," Nat explained, throwing her soaked T-shirt at Daniel. He caught it before it hit his face, but the water made the shirt cling to his arm.
"Hey!" Daniel complained. Nat smiled cheekily as she walked into the bathroom.
Daniel went to the linen closet and pulled out some towels. When he got to the bathroom, he saw that Natalie had already taken off her pants and was pouring bubble bath into the bathtub. He dropped the wet shirt that Nat threw at him into the sink then quietly walked up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. Nat could feel something digging into her lower back. She was a little surprised and couldn't help but comment. "Daniel!"
"I can't help it," He said quietly. "Can you blame me?" Daniel asked as he bent down to kiss her neck. She couldn't stop the moan when his warm lips met her cold neck.
She turned around and saw that Daniel's top was still wet and clinging to his body, showing every sexy bump on his stomach. She slowly lifted his top up and began kissing his chest. Their hands wondered around the others' body, as if it were the last time they'd see each other. Dan and Nat slowly moved towards the bathtub as they undressed each other.
The bath could still be heard running. Daniel opened his eyes and looked at the bath. "Er.. Nat, the bath is getting full," Dan commented, stepping around Nat to turn off the water. He turned back around and looked at Nat with lust in his eyes. Nat walked upto him and ran one hand slowly down his stomach, inching down slower toward his-
"Bath time."

"Major Carter, may we enter?"
Sam didn't reply, so O'Neill and Teal'c entered anyway. Sam was still working on her new invention. Now it had a black metal casing, with a few lit up buttons. Sam was sitting at her laptop, typing at an amazing pase. Teal'c sat opposite Sam at the desk. Jack walked up behind Sam and looked at the screen, trying to make sense of the numbers and diagrams that Sam was producing.
Sam knew that Jack was behind her, looking over her shoulder. "Sir, could you stop breathing down my neck?"
"Sorry. Teal'c thought you might like some donuts." Teal'c put the big box of donuts on the table and opened it, allowing Sam to see the massive collection.
"Not thanx Teal'c," Sam replied. She could feel her stomach grumbling at the sight of the donuts, especially at one jelly donut that was screaming at her.
"Major Carter. Morning for Martouf by starving yourself is not right. Martouf would not want you to destroy yourself over his death. I believe that he would want you to try live life, not waste yourself away," Teal'c explained. Sam managed to smile in comprehension. Teal'c held the box of donuts closer to Sam. "You are not betraying him by giving into hunger," Teal'c explained. He pushed the box right next to Sam's laptop to emphasise his point. Jack and Teal'c smiled at each other when Sam grabbed the jelly donut.
"Oh what the hell, I'll have one too!" Jack said as he grabbed a donut also. Teal'c silently agreed and picked a large pink covered jelly donut.
"So, do ya wanna tell us what you're making yet?" Jack asked, talking with his mouth full. Sam still continued to devour her donut. "Like Teal'c said, you don't have to starve yourself from talking!" Jack explained.
Sam finished off her donut with a glare on her face. "I'm making a device to try destroy the replicators," she explained.
Teal'c raised his eyebrow. Jack nearly choked on his donut. "You're kidding! How?!"
"Well, when I was aboard Thor's ship last year, he let me study a simulated replicator. Now as you know, the replicators are made of many blocks, able to consist of as many blocks nescessary to created the shape they need. Now these blocks have to come together some how. I figure that they don't work on magnets because otherwise when we blew Thor's ship, the EMP created would have destroyed them all. The fact that one still survived the crash in the ocean proves that they don't work electrinically or magnetically. Now I theorised that each of the individual blocks work in unisen by transmitting a signal. The device I'm working on should interfere with this signal," She explained. Jack looked at her with a blank look on his face.
He turned to Teal'c who was digging into his second donut. "Teal'c, what did you put in those donuts?"" Jackjoked then turned back to Sam. "So.. this device will make all the lego's fall apart?"
"In the most basic terms, yes. But I still need to test it around the replicators to adjust the frequency," Sam explained as she turned the device on. It let out a deep hum.
"We shoud get a hold of Thor."
