Previously on Stargate SG-1...
"Janet!"
The petite doctor spun around to see her best friend and favorite CO pratically dancing
"Alien virus?" she asked gathering her supplies "What happened?"
"No, we're fine" Sam assured her "We just wanted to let you know that we are engaged"
"Get me a-" she began turning to her nurse when Sam grabbed her
"I'm FINE Janet"
Janet nodded "Sure you are" she said soothingly
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -
Kayan piloted the ship next to the Stargate. Ringing himself out, he found himself facing one very angry man...
And now the conclusion...
Kayan stared the man "Who are you?" he demanded
"Where is Samantha? Who are you?"
Kaya produced a zat "I asked you first, who are you?"
"I am Ten'ak"
Kayan's face revealed disgust "You are the man who held Colonel Carter captive"
"Samantha was mine! My family saved her, she belongs to us now!"
Kayan ignored him "Go, or I swear I'll shoot you"
Ten'ak stared him "Take me to her" he begged
"No"
The answer infuriated him. He lunged only to fall to the ground... zatted twice
"You're fine"
Sam and Jack both rolled their eyes "I told you so" Sam couldn't help but taunt
"So what's this about an engagement?" she asked
"The President is placing me as CIVILIAN leader of this facility" Jack began
Janet looked up, her eyes sparkling "Sam, that's great!"
She nodded, a big smile on her face
"When's the wedding?"
Kayan hurried through the temple as fast as he could.The two Tok'ra ships were due to arrive shortly. He entered the room and just stopped. "Wow"
"Daniel Jackson?" A scandilized voice asked
Daniel and Lena pulled away and looked guiltily at the two figures in the doorway
"Uhh, Teal'c, this isn't what it looks like" Daniel began while Lena hastily fixed her hair and tried to look innocent
"Quite the contrary... I believe it was whatit looked to be" he said gravely
"No, I meant..." he sighed "I, Teal'c..."
"Do you not wish me to inform Colonel Carter and General O'Neill of this... incident" he asked
Lena looked over at Daniel, some alarm in her eyes
Daniel smiled at her then looked backed at Teal'c "I uh-"
"I was merely trying to make you 'squirm' as you Tau'ri say Daniel Jackson" he said with a twinkle in his eye
"Oh"
"Am I invited?"
"Will you be my maid of honor?" Sam asked elbowing her gently
"YES!"
They grinned at each other, raising their eyebrows in some sort of secret communication
"Carter?" Jack asked curiously "What's going on?"
"We uh.." she stopped "Well, it's hard to explain sir, we-" she laughed "We made a bet about four years ago about you and I" she stopped again and smiled at Janet "and we promised to have each other as our maids of honor"
"Ahh"
Getan of the Tok'ra piloted his ship next to the chapp'ai. Leaving the ship with several dozen Tok'ra's, they found a dead body, apparently having been 'zatted' to death...
"Teal'c, why was Daniel so ashamed to be caught 'chassin'?" Sari asked innocently
Teal'c stopped and looked down at the innocent teen. Sweet sixteen she was indeed
"In the Tau'ri culture, they do not express emotions in front of other people unless nessessary" Teal'c began
"Why?"
Teal'c gave a slight shrug "It is the Tau'ri way"
Sari giggled and followed him down the hall
"Daniel..." Lena began turning to look at the handsome archeologist
"Yes Lena?"
"I need to contact the Tok'ra"
"Why is that?"
"I have to explain my descision to the High Council and gather my belongings"
He sighed "When can you come back?" he asked
She shrugged and smiled at him "As soon as possible" she promised
"A month, Jack, is very reasonable, do you know how long it takes to cordinate a wedding? You have to send out invitations, rent a church-"
'Who are you going to invite?" he asked "I mean, that's out of town"
"Mark"
He started at her "That's it?"
She paused "Well, yeah"
"So, why send invitations? We can just call him"
"A church..."
"Have it here"
"Shopping..."
"We all have tuxs and suits"
"WEDDING dress... bridesmaid dresses"
"Cassie has her prom dress and I have a dress, matching color" Janet put in
"TICKETS for Mark, Lynne and the kids to fly out..."
Jack grinned "The Air Force has a jet.. departs day after tomorrow"
"Ok.. Dad!"
Jack paused "Ok.. well, we'd have to cordinate with ol' Jake but other then that..."
"A WEEK?"
Sam smiled triumphantly at Jack "He thinks it's crazy too"
"I think it's sweet" Lena put in
"HA!"
Daniel looked over at Lena then quickly switched sides" I agree with Jack"
Teal'c and Sari peeked in "Hello" Sari said shyly
"Teal'c, a wedding, in a week, what do you think?" Jack asked
"Will this ceremony be for yourself and Colonel Carter or for Daniel Jackson and young Lena?" Teal'c asked
"WHAT?" Jack and Sam asked spinning around to look at Daniel
"TEAL'C!" Daniel cried
Jack stared at the young girl "Aren't you like.. 16?"
"21 today"
"And you are.. 35, Daniel?"
"Yes Jack"
"Isn't that a little..."
"Let me see... you and Sam are.. 15 years apart?"
Jack sighed "That's different..."
"Is not"
"Is too"
"No, it's not"
"Is too!"
"GUYS!" Carter called
They both started "Sorry" they apologized simutaneously
"Jack, I think, I REALLY think we should wait a while"Sam insisted gently
He sighed "A month..."
"Yes Jack, most people take at least three months"
He sighed again and pretended to weep
"I have found much technology. The Niyan girl that the Tau'ri have can help us with the translation"
Getan nodded "I have three men unburying the chapp'ai and a man is replacing the crystals to the 'DHD' as the Tau'ri called it. We will need more men power.
"We must hurry" Kayan stressed "I was forced to use my za'niki'tel on one of the inhabitent"
"Fool" the word automatically left the other Tok'ra's lip. He quickly apologized and asked why
"He wished the return of Samantha Carter to him. I refused and he attacked me"
Getan gave a wry smile "You will have done Selmac a great favor" he said
"Getan! The chapp'ai is unburied" someone called
"Call the homeworld and ask the to send as many Tok'ra as they can spare" he ordered "The rest of you, help me with the technology in the temple"
Four days passed on Niyana.
The Tok'ra had only seen of the inhabitents. An middle aged woman who claimed the man as hers. She asked with tears in her eyes why he had been killed. Kayan explained andthe woman bemoaned his obsession with 'that girl'. She asked after her daughter and left. Later they found out the village had been ready to kill them for the killing on the Anza's son but was stopped by the woman who threatended to kill herself.. and her unborn child...
They had removed much of the technological machines, leaving the saracohagus and some of the bigger pieces behind. Now ready to depart, they set off for their homeworld.
5 days later on Earth...
"OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION!"
O'Neill was at Walter's side a moment later "Who is it?"
"The Tok'ra sir"
"Open it" he said heading into the gate room.
The iris opened and two Tok'ra came through that he had never seen before
"Hello..."
They stopped "General O'Neill. I am Kayan of the Tok'ra and this is Getan of the Tok'ra"
"Boys" Jack acknowledged "What can I do for you?"
"We..." Kayan began when the door opened again and several people filed in.
Kayan smiled and continued "We wish to see if Sari would come and visit us. We have need of her skills"
"How can I be of service?" the girl asked stepping forward
"We returned to Niyana and gathered much technology. We are, however, are unable to decipher the writing and..."
"I will go with you" Sari said
Everyone stared at her
"I can help there more then I can here" she explained "It won't take long..." she pleaded when she saw Jack start to shake his head
"I must return home as well. I must gather my things and say good bye to my friends" Lena said with a quick glance at Daniel who barely nodded
"We leave now" Getan said "Be so good and dial us home please"
Jack reluctantly gave the order
Three minutes later
Sari waved good bye and walked through a bit nervously with Kayan. Getan and Lena following more slowly
Upon exiting from the wormhole, Sari quickly glanced around
"Are you alright?" Kayan asked kindly. He was barely over 22 and could remember HIS first trip through the chapp'ai.
She nodded "It's so big" she whispered "And so much sand!"
He laughed "Come on, it's a bit of a hike to our 'home'"
She obediently followed.
The gate deactivated as Lena and Getan came through.
"Lena, are you engaged to Daniel Jackson?" he asked immediately
"Getan!"
"Well, are you?"
She was quiet "Yes" she finally said
"Does the High Council know?"
"No"
"You have the memories of Iana. I doubt they will look favorably on you leaving"
"That is their problem"
"Lena..."
"Getan, it's my life. I've dedicated seven years to the Tok'ra. I've been tortured, I've been through most adults my age have never been through! I deserve a chance at happiness!"
He sighed "The Tok'ra will miss you"
"And I them" she said as the rings carried her away
Two weeks dragged by on Earth. Jack and Sam had been busy planning the wedding. Dresses ordered, a floor decorated, Tickets bought for Mark and his family, inviting guests..
Daniel spent it moping around his lab, translating various artifacts...
"OFF WORLD ACTIVATION!"
Daniel sprang out of his chair and dashed for the elevator. A few minutes later, he reached the gate room. He swiped his card and walked in only have arms thrown around his neck
"Lena!" he managed to rasp
"Daniel, oh how I've missed you!"
He gently disengaged her arms from his neck "I missed you to!"
"Where is Sari?" Jack asked
Lena's face clouded "She wishes to remain behind"
"What?" Sam and Jack asked simutaneously
"Sari has volunteered to become a host"
Sam and Jack both stared angrily at Kayan who had accompanied Lena through
"She has volunteered her services. The Tok'ra think it best that she first consult with you first"
"And..."
"She wishesColonel Carter and Teal'c to come and visit. And Jacob requests General O'Neill's presence"
Jack paled "Me?" he asked
"Indeed"
"For cryin' out loud" he muttered "Get geared up, we're off the see the Wizard!"
