THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR REVIEWING! XXXX

Alright... I guess I confused a lot of people with my flashback.. It gets explained! And it SHOULD make sense!

PantherGoddess: Yes, it involves both 'mirror travel and time travel! Hotchickdude: You're right... in a way!

And also the 'double' parent thing.. I think it gets explained in the next chapter..


Interrogation room, Sub level 23

"What so wrong about the N.I.D?" Lisa asked

Sam sighed "We've had some bad experiences with the N.I.D".

Lisa frowned "Mum and Dad wouldn't be part of something that did bad things."

"They may not have been bad Lisa, I was just saying that the N.I.D have done some pretty bad things".

Lisa looked puzzled "Still, what does it matter?"

Sam sighed " The Colonel and various other people are afraid that you may be an N.I.D operative" she said reluctantly

Lisa stared ather "I'm a KID!" she protested

"I know"

Lisa looked at her"I won't answer any more of your questions" she said angrily.

Sam looked at her for a moment then left.

Lisa felt bad for yelling at her. she's only doing her job she thought, her bad humor disappearing.

A few minutes later the famous ColonelO'Neill entered the room and sat down. "Hey kid, I hear you've been giving Carter a hard time"

Lisa raised her eyebrows "Carter?" she asked

He shifted "well you know, Sam Carter?"

"Why don't you just call her Sam?" she asked a devious look coming into her eyes.

Jack cleared his throat "well, I'm- well"

She grinned, "I'm Lisa Maybourne but you may call me Lisa". she said graciously

Jack looked startled "Maybourne?"

"You've heard of me?"

He shook his head "Is yourdad named-"

"William"

"Not Harry?" he asked

"I have an Uncle named Harry"

Jack swallowed hard "You're related to Maybourne" he said more to himself then to her.

She quickly added "Well I've never seen him, he and Daddy never got along well. The only thing they had in common was joining the NID"

"do you know what the NID is?" he asked.

"Nope"

Jack nodded "do you know what your father did in the N.I.D?"

She shook her head "Nope"

Jack nodded "Uh huh and I am Santa"

She giggled "Hey no giggling" he ordered.

She grinned "The thought of you with white hair, a huge paunch, red suit" she broke off in laughter.

Jack gave her a mock frown "Young lady that is insubordination" he informed her.

She shrugged "So sue me".

Jack reached over and tagged her. A game of tag was in the making. Even one of the guards had been pursuaded to join while the other one merely stood there with an amused look on his face. Teal'c had entered and had finally agreed to particate in 'One of the Tau'ri games'. He actually found it quite enjoyable. Jack was taking a breather, thinking the room was too small for the game, he had the Sgt. who was guarding the room, open the door.

"Lisa" he called

She ran over breathless "protect me Jack" she said flinging her arms around him.

Teal'c ran up and tagged him "you are it O'Neill" he said calmly.

Jack nodded and looked down "Well you better run kid" pointing to the open door.

She looked at him in disbelief. Really? her eyes asked. She knew it wasn't the custom to let young, uninvited guests to roam the halls of the worlds' most secret organization. He nodded. She grinned at him and ran down the hall.


Lisa was running like she had never run before. Darting in and out of rooms, Jack was still close behind. Darting into one room she slammed the door behind her.

"Lisa?" a surprised voice asked.

She jumped "Sam don't do that!" she whispered loudly.

Sam gave her a curious glance "Do what? who are you hiding from? in fact, why-"

Lisa interrupted "Jack, Teal'c, a guard and I are playing Tag, don't let them find me" she added as footsteps approached.

Sam looked unsure but Lisa's pleading face overcame any doubts she might have had. Nodding she pushed Lisa under her desk and began to "play" with her laptop.

Jack rushed in "Carter have you seen Lisa?"

Sam suddenly felt panicky, what if Lisa was lying to her? "No sir, why?"

Jack looked sheepish "well she was bored and she BEGGED me to play so I agreed-"

"I DID NOT JACK O'NEILL, IT WAS YOUR IDEA" Lisa yelled peeking out from under the desk.

"AH HA" he triumphed reaching down and trying to tag her, Lisa scooted out the other side of the desk and hid behind Sam. He started to run then stopped "wait, Carter did you just LIE to a superior officer?"

Carter laughed "sorry sir, she made me" Jack looked unconvinced.

Lisa tried to sneak by but Jack tagged her. Lisa stood there for a few seconds then reached over and tagged Carter. Carter started to protest but Lisa's hopeful face overruled all of her objections. Winking at her, she reached over and tagged Jack who was "reading" her report.

"You're it sir" and Carter and Lisa ran out, leaving a very shocked General behind.


The game ended with half the base particpating in it. Siler proving to be excellent at Tag. The kitchen, in honor of Lisa, made Pizza for dinner. Lisa was throughly enjoying being on base. She was friends with everyone. Except for Daniel. Even though they had explained his ascension (and decension), she still seemed a little uncomfortable around him. It was obvious that she adored the rest of SG-1 and Fraiser and (for some unexplicable reason) Harriman.

Daniel was feeling a bit left out "So Lisa, how old are you?"

Lisa turned to him "I'm 13 almost 14" she said shyly.

He gave her an encouraging smile "Whats your favorite subject in school?"

She hesitated "I like spanish and astronomy and science is really cool but I think in all... history!"

Daniel high-fived her while Dr. Fraiser, Jack and Carter protested, each insisting his of her subject was better. Lisa grinned. She hadn't been so happy since her parents died


"But I'm not tired Sam"

Sam sighed "it's 10:00".

Lisa shrugged "So?"

Sam rolled her eyes "Come on, if you got to bed now, I'll play Space Invaders with you again"

Lisa bit her lip

Sam pushed ahead "Or... I can have the Colonel order you to go to bed"

Lisa rolled her eyes

Sam began to laugh

"What?" Lisa asked suspiciously.

"You remind me of a friend of mine, Cassie"

Lisa felt a twinge of jealousy but she wasn't sure why.

"Ok, that's enough, bed now!"

Lisa groaned but obediently climbed into bed "I feel like I'm 2" she muttered.

Sam rolled her eyes "Whatever, night kiddo, if you need me, I'm right down the hall".

Lisa nodded again. "Night Sam" she called. Sam waved then left.

"Night Mom" she whispered to the empty room as she waited for the dreams to come. She dreaded nights because of them, but the letter had insisted that it was nessesary. She wiped away a tear why did I ever read that stupid letter? she asked herself as sleep took over...

Flashback: nearly 7 years ago

"Mom? Dad?"she called.

Her mom looked up "Sweetie" she gasped.

Lisa looked worried "Why are you shaking".

Sam just shook her head and turned to Jack "Jack, we have to go".

Jack looked up "Where can we go Sam? every reality we go to has US in it!" he yelled.

She shook her head helplessly.

He came over "It's ok Sam, we'll figure something out" he said cradling her in his arms.

She was sobbing. Lisa felt helpless. She ran over to the DHD

"Dad, come on! Get mom and we'll go to the mirror planet and keep searching till we find the right reality"

He shook his head.

"Dad, come on! why not? there is always a chance!"

Jack looked at Sam "Another try?".

Sam gave her a shaky smile and nodded.

Lisa grinned and began dialing the cordinates she knew so well. She had just hit the first chevron when she heard a zat' open. She turned around in time to see both of her parents fall to the ground shot twice.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she cried running to them. "Mom" she wept patting her cheek.

The Jaffa leader chuckled "A Tau'ri child. Take her. Perhaps our lord will consider using her as a host" he ordered

As two Jaffa approached her. She suddenly felt something... a power..

"No!" she screamed whipping around and raising up her hand. A light shot out of it and knocked the two Jaffa down.

"Kree!" The leader ordered buttoo late. Already Lisa had knocked them out. He chuckled

"Foolish little Tau'ri" he taunted "Thinking she could outwit the first prime of Ba'al"

The girl stared defiantly at him "Foolish first prime" she began mimicking his tone "For slaying the two Tau'ri! For this you shall suffer greatly" she said with a bitter laugh raising her hand as she spoke. The leader was soon writhing in pain. She finally stopped.

"You shall die as my parents did" she said picking up a zat'. She gave him a humorless smile. His eyes opened wide. She shot him two times slowly and delibrately with no emotion.

She turned back to her parents "Mom, Dad" she wept, tears running down her face. "I love you" she whispered

After 30 minutes, she walked over and dialed a different address. No longer did she have to run. As the gate activated, she slowly dragged her parents, one at a time and pushed them through. She tossed their packs through and followed them. On the otherside, she kissed them good-bye and headed toward the village.
