Lies

People change, Hebeny beings to realize you can't ever go home again.

Disclaimer: I still own all my characters, Amanda, Hebeny, Nurbie.... etc. I am having serious problems with ideas, help me out if you can.

Previously on Amanda
'Don't worry' snapped Hebeny in anger cursing herself, she had let down the barrier enough to let Nurbie know that she was going to die for what she did.
'What's your name?' asked General Hammond, repeating what General Davis had asked. Taking a deep breath Hebeny tried to figure out what she was going to say, opening her mouth everyone waited for what she would say.

--------------------------------------Now------------------------------------------

'I'm Courtney' said Hebeny taking a deep breath, taking a chance that Nurbie didn't know the piece of Trivia behind the name. Searching her memory about what she found out about Amanda, Nurbie sighed she was in the clear.
Nick's eyes narrowed at Hebeny had this strange accent it sounded slightly English possibly, like Amanda had, where his 'cousin' had no trace of her missing accent. Giving Hebeny a soft smile, he received a dazzler from Hebeny.
'Be careful what you do' warned Hebeny, in the cross of Latin and ancient Gou'ld, she wasn't one to back down in a fight. Not understanding what her companion meant Nurbie shrugged it off not realizing it was a threat, as both girls were escorted to their semi-permanent quarters-separate of course.
'What do you think?' asked General Davis, receiving all kinds of replies from the assortment of people.
'Does anyone really believe that girl is Amanda?' questioned Nick, looking around. 'Hell she didn't greet us the way she used to!'
'Nick, people change, its been 5 years of coarse she's going to have changed' said Cassandra softly, placing her hand over his.
Jack had a far away look in his eyes. 'I..... part of me really wants to believe it's her, but something is holding me back' said Jack, voicing what most of them thought but weren't willing to say it, in chance of hurting Amanda's father. Nodding his head General Davis let everyone leave save General Hammond a silent message passed between the two men.

Hugging her knees tight against her chest, resting her chin on her knees Hebeny listened to her Discman a compilation CD of Rumba, Techno and her favorite Disney songs (don't ask about the Disney songs. But they were allowed to keep their personal items after Hebeny blew up at one of the Airman when they started searching her bag, they hadn't found the crystal and piece of tech). Thinking up a plan to kill Nurbie, she had actually trusted the scheming bitch and shared quarters with her for the past five years. She is so going to get it, thought Hebeny, angry beyond belief.
Opening the door Jack stood in the door, his eyes adjusting to the dim lit interior. The girl called Courtney/Hebeny had locked herself in 'her room' since she arrived just over a week ago, leaving to eat but they had no idea on that topic, as far as Cassandra and Janet had both said the girl was angry about something and wouldn't talk about it.
'What do you want?' hissed Hebeny, she could remember all the times she had talked to her father like that, not turning around she was already becoming angry her 'friend' had just taken her family and assumed her identity, now that was down right low.
'Who are you?' asked Jack. 'I mean your real name'. Something made him think both girls were lying about their names. 'Janet and Cass say you haven't been eating' said Jack, moving around to sit in front of her, without moving at all Hebeny moved her eyes to stare at him which freaked him out, whenever Amanda was pissed with him she would do that. Taking the head phones out of her ears and turning the Discman off, looking at the man in front of her. How do I tell him, thought Hebeny, flicking a piece of hair out of her eyes, looking over her shoulder as the door flung open Nick grabbed her upper arms and pulled her up. Nick stared down at the woman who held an extremely uncanny resemblance to his was missing cousin, his eyes searching hers keeping his mouth shut and his suspicions to himself, he could feel Jack's questioning look against his back.
'You should eat, you know' said Nick, his arms falling to his sides and taking a step back, taking in her appearance Hebeny looked more comfortable in fatigue pants and a purple tie-dyed tank top and bare feet, her hair pulled up into a messy, high, strict looking ponytail than she did in the clothes she arrived in. Smiling uneasily Hebeny turned and headed for the door, opening it she threw a smile over her shoulder chilling them to the bone, the closing of the door brought them back to reality.

Pulling out a thing of Jell-O and setting it next to her sandwich (chicken salad) and her bowl of soup. Laughter wavered across the cafeteria, without looking up she knew it was Nurbie catching up with the gang on the things she missed. Crossing the cafeteria Hebeny sat at a table alone, since they arrived Nurbie was too busy talking, flickering through Dr. Jackson's (Daniel) book of Gou'ld technology, Hebeny tried to find a match with the piece of tech she held in her possession. Taking a bite out of her chicken salad sandwich, humming a lullaby her father used to sing to her when she was upset.
'Hi, I'm Gabriel' said a boy, with dark brown hair and blue eyes, watching as Hebeny raised her head Gabriel held his breath, she was beautiful her brown hair stopping mid back, and dirt coloured eyes, reminding him of someone from his past, watching him warily, Hebeny decided to introduce herself when she saw no other intention.
'Nice to meet you' replied Hebeny, motioning him for him to sit. Nurbie was seething inside, Gabriel has suddenly become way too infatuated with Hebeny, and it was time to figure out a plan.

As she slowly finished her meal Hebeny, her full eyes keeping a good eye on Gabriel and Nurbie, she wasn't sure if they had another intentions. The fact the girl was willing to betray the Tok'ra and the Alliance so casually made Hebeny sick to her stomach, she was brought up with being told the friendships and allegiances you make are to hold forever nothing can change that. Leaving her tray as she got up, Hebeny shoved past Nurbie tossing a glare over her shoulder making a gun sign with her fingers, she knew she was being immature but it was the only way to get her point across, Hebeny winked much to Nurbie's irritation. Laughing hollowly she (Hebeny) made her way down the corridor while personal jumped out of her way, feeling Nurbie's glare Hebeny could feel part 1 of her plan beginning, sooner or later Nurbie would slip up and she'd pick up the pieces, the problem there was a chance it would be too late.

'Mandy' called Justin, pulling Nurbie into a hug almost picking her off the ground. Hebeny mentally winced she had always despised that cursed nickname. The sooner Nurbie messed up the quicker she'd get her life back. Looking down at his ex-girl friend he couldn't figure out why she hadn't tried to kill him or give him the finger for calling her that. Maybe she missed you, said part of his brain, the other half was busy trying to beat the crap out of his rational part. Looking around at surroundings Hebeny stifled a yawn, things like this made her tired. Watching as kids kicked a soccer ball and couples talked, she slowly sat herself under the shady tree near the group.
Holding Daniel's hand Ashley leant against her husband across the park with her son and their friends, her eyes narrowing at the girl sitting under a tree. As they walked closer she could see Janet and her husband Michael, Jack and Jonas and Sam, sitting around a park bench with a picnic basket on top.
Feeling a pair of eyes trained on her Hebeny slowly moved her head from the kids playing a mini soccer game, it was depressing to watch the little kids mess around with the rest of their lives ahead of them, were she had nothing and hadn't had her life since 5 years ago and probably never would again.
'How are you?' asked Ashley, after watching the far away look receded from Hebeny's eyes. 'Amanda, honey you can tell me' she whispered, eyes widening in realization Hebeny pulled away. Hebeny's lips forming a silent question. 'I knew the moment I first saw you again' nodding her head, Ashley stretched out lying down on the soft grass and resting her head on her hands. Giving the woman a guarded smile, she could remember her childhood, everything that had happened before leaving.

Staring up at the ceiling, again closing her eyes she hadn't been able to sleep since the picnic and that had been two days ago. Rolling onto her stomach, racking her brain Hebeny could find no reason to still be awake, since she had left she had forced herself to learn things to stay alive. Sticking her head under her pillow trying to block out the annoying humming sound, scanning the room she couldn't see anything out of place. Am I losing it or what? thought Hebeny, with something on her desk glowing blue. Struggling to get up Hebeny wrapped her blanket around her shoulders crossing the cold cement floor. Being encased in blue light with lack of sleep wasn't high on her priorities list, eyeing it cautiously Hebeny picked up the piece of alien tech which she had swiped from Ma'at, above the piece of tech was a floating hologram of Ma'at's head.
'Hello child. I believe you have something of mine, my crystal and the key' boomed the System Lord's voice, wrapping the blanket tighter around her shoulder's Hebeny tried to suppress a shudder of fear, she could still see what Ma'at did to traitors, it was horrifying. 'I will give you the coordinates' with that the image disappeared. Sitting cross-legged on her chair, her brown hair falling delicately over her shoulder Hebeny drifted off to sleep.

Tossing and turning Gabriel couldn't sleep, with sweat running down his back, the SGC was always hot this time of year, he tried to bribe himself to sleep. Stifling a yawn Gabriel shut his eyes, opening them again he couldn't get the image of Hebeny out of his head, her dark brown eyes full of emotion and betrayal, the way her hair fell over her shoulders. Shakily picking up a glass of water he brought it to his lips, a knock on his door made him curse everything under his breath, opening the door stood Nurbie/'Amanda'. 'Hello' greeted Nurbie softly, she knew about the way Gabriel felt for Hebeny visa versa, it was now time to do something about it. She thought about all the trouble she went to just to get home, making sure the real Amanda wasn't anywhere near her at the time, and still some how her plans had been messed up. 'Can I come in?' she asked sweetly.
Scratching his head Gabriel stared blankly at her for a moment, before moving out of her way. 'Oh…..sorry, yeah come in' as Nurbie brushed past him, Gabriel couldn't help his eyes wandering down to her cute looking butt. Looking around Gabriel's quarters she nodded her head in approval, walking closer to him she put her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. Gabriel was still in shock when Nurbie started kissing him madly, with a mental shrug of his shoulder he went with the flow.

Aimlessly wandering around the base Hebeny was in a daze, the hologram from Ma'at was still the main thing occupying her thoughts. Almost walking into a door brought her out of her stupor, looking at the name on the door she was surprised to find herself in front of the door to Gabriel's quarters, back when she was still in Highschool and still had a life though not much of one she had never liked Carter (Gabriel), but somewhere over the course of the years she had fallen for him and now that she was back she had no idea how to go about it. Knocking on the door twice she could hear two people giggling madly, like there was no tomorrow. Cautiously opening the door she found herself watching a scene way to painful to imagine, her breath catching in her throat, covering her mouth with both hands like a little girl, her eyes wide with shock, Hebeny stood rooted in place, not being able to take any more she fled the room.
Leaning against the wall opposite Gabriel's quarters panting, tears leaked out the corner of her eyes, when she was younger she had prided herself on being strong in any circumstance both emotionally and physically now the reality of the real world began to seep in. Using the back on her hand to wipe away the tears, her mind wandered to Ma'at life as a personal servant to a System Lord had been better than now, things had changed and from her point of view not for the better. Get over it, I know they've missed me, and me them, but this is getting whacked, thought Hebeny, I've had it. Pushing away from the wall she headed towards her quarters.
