Sam's Thoughts
Elvish translations
Last chapter
"Aragorn we didn't…did we?" Legolas asked the ranger as he rubbed his head where he hit the wall.
"Well I was rather hard to separate you two for you lip lock so we just left you to it."
"WHAT!!!" both yelled at the same time, startling Gimli out of his alcohol induced sleep nearby.
"Gimli this is all your fault." Sam said.
"Calm down. No you didn't so anything over the top. Sam lost consciousness before you had a chance. But I think you would have if not for that you were rather attached to each other." Aragorn said before the trio burst into another fit of laughter.
Sam and Legolas avoided each other for the rest of the day. Not wanting to talk about what had happen the night before but both knew that they would have to talk about it sooner or later.
It was Legolas that got up the courage to start the conversation. He found Sam sitting just outside the golden halls, with her legs dangling over the edge of the wall.
"How was your day?" he asked as he sat down.
Sam jumped at the unexpected voice but she didn't look at Legolas.
"Busy. But that is to be expected. Post-battle is always busy."
They sat in silence for awhile staring out at the stars.
"Sam we can't ignore what happened last night."
She signed, "I know."
"Sam I really enjoy your company, your funny, smart and very beautiful. Now I know that you want to go home to your people and I can accept that but I also know that I love you." He paused
"You know for most of my life my father has tried to 'sell' me off to different women to strengthen the allies of Mirkwood, for awhile he left me alone because of the dangers that were attacking my home but as soon as I came back from a fight he would introduce me to another elf-maiden that he wanted me to marry. That was one of the reasons that I choose to come on this quest. To escape my father. At the time I just wanted to be left alone. I had no interest in getting married until I met you.
"I could sense something about you when you ran into the Fellowship that day outside of Lórien. You are unlike any woman that I had ever met. You go against everything that the women of the court are. You fight your own battle and stand up for your self. You have a fire in you that I love. I know that I love you. Now as I said before I know that you want to find your way home and if you don't feel the same way about me then I will never mention this again and I will do everything in my power to get you home to your people."
They sat for I moment longer before Sam lent into him and wrapped her arms around him.
"When I joined the air force I did it because I wanted to be an astronaut I wanted to go to the moon then on to the stars. I never expected to end up on the Stargate program and especially not lost on some distant planet a million light years from home. When I saw you, I was reminded of some of the stuck up pretty boys from my high school. I thought you would be completely full of yourself, that you were so much better then everyone else.
"But then I started to get to know you and I didn't know why but I was attracted to you, not for your looks but for you personality and the way you seemed to shy away from large crowd. I keep thinking that I have learned everything I can about you then you will do something unexpected and reveal a whole new side to your personality. I always thought that I would never love anyone, everyone I know on Earth are people that I work with or people I work against. My Father gave up trying to make me go out with people when I was still in school. But meeting you made me realise that I can't live as a scientist, lock away in my lab for the rest of my life. I love you too, I don't know when in realised it but I have loved you for awhile. I want to see if we can make this work."
She looked up at him and stared into his eyes and for a while they just stared at each other before Legolas lent down and kissed her. Not anything like the night before just a simple little kiss but it meant the world to Sam.
She curled up next to him and they happily just sat there.
They probably would have stayed there all night but they were interrupted.
"Legolas? Legolas?" Aragorn called as he came out of the house. Both Sam and Legolas sighed and they stood to meet the man as he came towards them.
"I'll leave you to alone. See you in the morning." Sam said before walling inside.
As Sam approached the room where they were all staying she could here Merry and Pippin talking in hushed voices.
"Are you mad?" Merry asked.
"I just want to look at it. Just one more time." Pippin replied.
"Put it back!"
"Pippin!"
Sam decided that it was time to see what they were doing before the young hobbit did something stupid.
"No. Pippin!"
When she walked into the room she saw Pippin holding onto the Palantir, with a look of pure agony on his face.
"Pippin! Pippin! Help! Gandalf! Someone help him! Help him!"
Sam ran over to grab the Hobbit as Aragorn and Legolas raced into the room, Sam reached the Hobbit moments before Aragorn who garbed the glowing ball as Sam hugged the shaking hobbit to her trying to calm him.
Aragorn screamed and dropped the palantir which roled away. Merry jumped aside as Gandalf though a blanket at it.
Merry ran over to Sam and Pippin and knelt down next to his friend.
"Pippin!"
"Fool of a Took!" Gandalf snapped.
Pipping lay in Sam's lap seemingly unaware of the world around him. Gandalf walked over and touched the hobbits face, muttering under his breath. Pippin gave a start and cried out. He then looked at the wizard.
"Gandalf. Forgive me!" Pippin begged.
"Look at me. What did you see?"
" Ah... a tree. There was a white tree, in a courtyard of stone. It was dead! The city was burning."
"Minas Tirith. Is that what you saw?" Gandalf prompted
"I saw... I saw him! I could hear his voice in my head." Pippin told them.
"What did you tell him? Speak!" he snapped
"He asked me my name. I didn't answer. He hurt me.
"What did you tell him about Frodo and the Ring?"
Pippin looked confused and turned his head way hiding it in Sam's cloak as if you could hide from the world.
Sam responded by cradling him against her and rocking him to sleep in her arms.
The next day they gathered with Théoden and Eomer gathered in the great hall, by the fireplace. Pippin sat next to Sam leaning on her side tiredly at a distance from the rest of the group except for Merry who stood beside his long time friend and cousin.
"There was no lie in Pippin's eyes. A fool, but an honest fool he remains. He told Sauron nothing of Frodo and the Ring. We've been strangely fortunate. Pippin saw in the palantir a glimpse of the enemy's plan. Sauron moves to strike the city of Minas Tirith. His defeat at Helm's Deep showed our enemy one thing. He knows the heir of Elendil has come forth. Men are not as weak as he supposed. There is courage still -- strength enough, perhaps to challenge him. Sauron fears this. He will not risk the peoples of middle earth uniting under one banner. He will raze Minas Tirith to the ground before he sees a king return to the throne of Men. If the beacons of Rohan are lit, Rohan must be ready for war" Gandalf told them all.
"Tell me, why should we ride to the aid of those who did not come to ours? What do we owe Gondor?" Théoden asked
"I will go." Aragorn offered.
"No."
"They must be warned."
"They will be."
Gandalf said something to Aragorn that the rest of them couldn't hear then raised his voice again.
"Understand this, Things are now in motion that cannot be undone. I ride for Minas Tirith. And I won't be going alone."

Here's the ideas again for anyone who hasn't voted.
1) SG-1 come to Middle Earth and wander around till they come to Gondor. There Aragorn recognises the symbol of the SGC that Sam was wearing when they found her and calls her.
2) The SGC start up a research operation in Mordor and are found by Gondorians searching for the Stargate for Sam.
There are the research team and SG-1 there and one member of SG-1 is taken prisoner as well as some scientists (One of which could is the annoying guy that is always fantasising about Sam). They are taken to Gondor and put in prison. Sam and Legolas come and visit with there kid/s and Sam recognises one of them.
3) Sam visits the SGC when the Gate is found. She intends to go alone but her daughter runs into the gate after her. She has to convince the SGC of who she is. HE daughter gets sick from being locked up underground too long.
