The Adventures of Nirtia and Seanait
Introductions
It was nighttime in Colorado Springs, Colorado. All was quiet, or at least most. Some rustling of bushes could lead one to the conclusion that someone was leading someone else into the bushes near the great mountain. This mountain happened to be the site of an US Air Force base. One of the girls stuck her head out into the open.
"Shhhhhh! You'll blow our cover!" the other exclaimed. The redheaded girl stuck her head back into to the bushes very quickly. The older girl peered back out into the night through the big bushes. She turned around and grabbed her binoculars so she could see better. She put them to her eyes and watched very carefully for something. The redhead's voice broke through the silence again.
"Hold it, hold it, is that him? No, man, it isn't, is it?" she exclaimed happily. The other girl cuffed the younger in the back.
"You silly, don't scare me like that!" she gave the light reprimand. The younger sighed.
"Red hair sets off the careful eye, doesn't it?" she asked the rhetorical question.
"Yeah, it does," the other answered. What the girls where doing here on this night was only known to them. The redhead gazed skyward at the stars as the other scanned the area for any signs of something. They both saw a car leaving the complex.
"Ooh, look at the pretty ship flying through the air!" the redhead noticed.
"Seanait! Now is not the time to be stargazing!!!" the other reprimanded again.
"It looks pretty Goa'uldy…" Seanait led off.
"WE have more important things to be watching for!"
"Okay, I'm here, I swear!" Seanait snapped back into focus. The vehicle passed the two adventurers and Seanait looked at the car again. "Hmmm… who's that Nirtia, can you see them?" Seanait asked her comrade.
"OMG!" was all that Nirtia said.
"What? No, it can't be!" Seanait exclaimed. Apparently they found what they'd been looking for.
"I think……I think…" Nirtia trailed off as Seanait finished the sentence.
"It is!"
Nirtia looked around. "Quick, we gotta make a run for it," she explained to Seanait. Seanait, being herself at these hours asked:
"Where to? The gate?" Nirtia chuckled a little.
"Follow that car!"
"Right, coming," Seanait answered. With lightning speed, almost superhuman, Nirtia grabbed on to the car's bumper and held out a hand for Seanait to grab. Seanait followed her partner in crime and grabbed Nirtia's hand.
"Got ya," she whispered.
"Come on!" Nirtia urged carefully. They both leaped silently onto the car. "Man, I didn't think you weighed that much," Nirtia joked casually. Seanait didn't seem to hear it though.
"Good thing that they have tinted windows, eh?" Seanait mentioned.
"Yeah, it sure is," Nirtia responded quietly to avoid being heard by the people inside.
Seanait asked curiously, "Want a rooftop view?" The wind whipping through their hair, the adventurers ducked low so the driver wouldn't notice the stowaways. Seanait quietly clambered up to the sunroof on the top of the car.
"Seanait!" Nirtia hissed. Seanait peeked carefully in through the sunroof and withdrew her head.
"What?!"
"Get down from there," she demanded.
Seanait sighed, like a kid whose mother was ordering them to bed. "Coming."
"You'll be caught for sure!" Nirtia reminded her. Too late, the car began to swerve.
"Inside, it looked like Siler and someone else," Seanait mentioned before the swerves got too bad. "Hang on!" she yelled to Nirtia. The girls hung on with their legs flailing this way and that.
"I think I am gonna hurl!" Nirtia warned Seanait. They both slid to the back of the car.
"Got the antenna?" Seanait asked before remembering Nirtia's last words. "Please don't! They'll notice."
"OUCH! I had the antenna…" Nirtia pointed out. The car decided to slow down again.
"You okay?" a concerned Seanait asked Nirtia. At this point, Nirtia plummeted to ground, hard.
"OMG, we are SOOOO dead," she intoned on the pavement. The passengers unfortunately heard the loud thump! caused by Nirtia's fall. The girls lay very still. "I think my leg is broken," Nirtia told Seanait.
"Shush, maybe I can splint it," the younger girl whispered to the elder.
"OOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH!!!" Nirtia yelped. "Why did you have to pull so tight?"
"SHHHUUSH! And sorry," Seanait told Nirtia. "Is someone getting out of the car?" the redhead asked. Nirtia closed her eyes.
"OH! Tell me when it's over," she whimpered. A voice sounded over their heads.
"Are you girls alright?" The voice sounded very familiar to both of them.
"Seanait, who's that? I'm afraid to open my eyes," Nirtia asked.
"Can't tell, my eyes are closed too." This at least made Nirtia chuckle a little. "On the count of three, we open."
"ONNNE…"
"TWWWWOOOO…"
"THREE! OPEN!" they chanted together. It was Siler and Colonel O'Neill that stood above them. Nirtia fainted and Seanait tried to catch her. The younger girl turned a hopeful face at the colonel.
"Uh sir, you wouldn't happen to have some water?"
"Umm Colonel, I think we should take them onto the base," Siler mentioned quietly.
"Yeah!" Jack said assessing the unconscious Nirtia. Seanait looked around.
Seanait asked, "Can I come too??" Jack looked at the other girl curiously.
"You okay?" asked the Colonel.
"No, I'm not, please help me!" Seanait pleaded. Jack looked over his shoulder into the car. Seanait pleaded again. "I hurt my leg very badly."
"Okay, hold on we'll get you some help," the colonel acquiesced.
"Thank you sir," Seanait responded nervously. Jack eyed the girl suspiciously.
"Just one question," he asked as Seanait got loaded into the car. She cringed waiting for the obvious question.
"Yes?"
"What in the HELL, were you two doing swinging on my car?" Jack inquired loudly.
"Ummm…" Seanait looked at Nirtia for help realizing too late that she was out cold. "We fell out of a tree that we were climbing in… sir."
"UH HUH," Jack looked at Siler with that sarcasm on his face. Jack looked like he accepted the answer, but Seanait knew that he didn't. But who cares? It was Jack O'Neill! Siler got back in the car and started the engine and off they all went back to the base. Seanait started to look around the car while she tended to Nirtia.
'Hmmmm… Major Carter, Jack O'Neill, Siler, and… Daniel! Daniel, the archeologist extraordinaire approached the two girls. He looked at them with disapproval and called for a med team. Seanait started to think to herself once again. All of a sudden, I'm in the med room and Daniel's here! Poor Nirtia is still out cold and she's getting whisked away. Huh, I must have fainted in the car too…Ack! Lights, bright lights! Daniel stood over the awake girl as she blinked furiously at the lighting.
"Hello there," Daniel said kindly.
"What?" she responded harshly.
Nirtia awoke and called out, "I'm here too!" Daniel looked happy at this. Nirtia began to wonder were on earth she was and was very scared. Daniel grabbed the attention of a nurse.
"Go tell Dr. Frasier the other girl is awake," he said to the aid. The nurse ran off to fetch Frasier. She returned with the doc in tow. Frasier approached the bed of Nirtia to check on her. In a flash, Nirtia realized where she was and started to relax.
"Well, our stowaway has awoken," Frasier murmured to the girl. Seanait, against all orders, got up to walk over to her friend… well hobbled is more like it. Nirtia recognized Seanait at her bed. Nirtia squinted her eyes against the light.
"What happened?" she asked quietly.
"Uh, I think we're in the SGC…" Seanait looked at Frasier for confirmation and she nodded. Daniel looked at Nirtia and Seanait.
"Yes, what happened?" he asked them both. Seanait gave him a scared look and leaned over to whisper in Nirtia's ear.
"We fell out of a tree!" Nirtia began to crack up at this story of theirs. We are sooooo goin' down, Seanait thought to herself. Daniel and Frasier exchanged strange looks at this response. Jack walked into the room just then. Huh, they must have called him down here too…
"Ahem!" Nirtia said muffled. "Look, all of SG-1 is here," she pointed out. Nirtia spoke up to the team. "If you guys don't mind, could we just go now?" she mentioned to them all, "I am so embarrassed." The team and Frasier crowded around the two girls.
"How are you two?" Frasier asked kindly. Nirtia let out a gulp!
"After falling out of that tree…" Jack noted sarcastically.
"Well, my leg is the size of a watermelon, but other than that…"
"Mine too!" Seanait decided to pipe up. Nirtia shot the girl a glare. "What!" Seanait exclaimed. Teal'c began to look perked. So did Jack. Nirtia began to fidget under the intense looks of SG-1. "Help!" Seanait gulped. She fainted once again and collapsed to the floor. Oh no! Nirtia thought to herself, but she said aloud something else.
"Look, I can explain," she said to them all.
"We're listening! How is it that you two landed on my car outside a secure base?" Jack wanted to know. He looked a little peeved.
"Uh, well, you see, it's a funny story really," Nirtia responded. "Seanait wanted to gaze at the stars…" Seanait interrupted Nirtia from her position on the floor.
"Tengo que comer!" she said aloud. Everyone looked at Daniel, being as he's also the linguist. "Tengo que comer!!!!"
Nirtia began to try and explain, but fell off the bed laughing. "OOOOWWWW!" she howled. There went her knee… Frasier huffed and signaled for some orderly to help her lift Nirtia. Seanait began to mutter again.
"Tengo… que…comer… DANIEL!!!"
"Colonel, I really don't think we're going to get any cognitive answers tonight," Frasier said, quite annoyed.
Daniel shook his head, "It doesn't make sense, Jack."
"I think we should keep them overnight for observation and get this one on pain killer," Frasier said, pointing to Nirtia.
"Pourquoi?" Jack responded.
Nirtia squeaked, "Thank you!" to Frasier in gratitude while Daniel looked mildly amused.
"Jack, you know French?"
"Hey, I picked up a little in high school," he responded.
"Ah!" Nirtia, in the meantime, was being hooked up to an IV and an x-ray was being taken of her leg. Daniel mused that Jack still had no idea what Seanait was murmuring, but Sam knew Spanish, unfortunately... Seanait's Spanish monolog changed just then, ever so slightly.
"Tengo que tener Daniel…" she muttered, still out cold. Unfortunately, Sam picked up on this too and ran out of the room, barely suppressing a full-blown laugh. Daniel followed Sam out.
"Umm… Hey Sam… what's goin' on?" Frasier gave them a strange look, meanwhile, and lifted Seanait off the ground and into a bed with the help of Jack. Suppressing laughter, Sam explained to Daniel that he has a fan club. Daniel vaguely played along with Sam's little joke on him. Fan club.....he was just an archeologist!
"Geez Daniel. You're taking this rather well," Sam said. Daniel shrugged in response. Jack approached the two of them while Teal'c stood watch over the girls.
"Q'est que c'est?" he asked smugly. Sam began to giggle once again.
"Sir! Apparently Daniel has a fan club," she explained while laughing hysterically. Jack turned to Daniel.
"Oh? Daniel? Is there something you'd like to tell us?" he asked sarcastically.
"I know I am finding this hard to believe myself," Sam retorted. Of course, Daniel still was thinking that this was all one big joke against him. "Then again Satterfield had a crush on him too," Sam mentioned smugly. Daniel blushed furiously.
"That was nothing, you guys and you know it!" he protested. "Well... it doesn't really matter why these two are here anyway, but we have to help them," Daniel spouted. "Jack, we don't even know their names yet."
Jack gestured. "So?"
"Sir? Don't you think it would be wise to get to know them?" Carter asked.
"There's that," Jack replied. "I guess, Carter, if…once they wake up.." Jack coughed into his hand in suggestion. In the meanwhile, Teal'c watched the women with curiosity. He has never known of such odd behavior in the Tau'ri before. He'd only been exposed to "normal" people... The whole time ...........
