A/N: Yes, little math students, this is chapter nine; which means the next chapter is also the last chapter. Please continue to read and review!
Gearing up for another mission back to the planet they had returned from earlier, SG-1 wanted to go find the real Daniel Jackson. The clone had to stay here for further observation.
The clone was now aware of what he really was, and he sighed to himself. The memories of the Real Daniel were fading from his mind, and he felt as if he was deteriorating. Was this something that was supposed to happen? He couldn't remember.
He was sitting in the observation room, alone now, with his own thoughts. As the team disappeared through the shining event horizon, Daniel knew that only time could tell what was going to happen with him.
On the planet, Jack looked around, there was a rain shower recently, but they were prepared this time, everyone in rain ponchos on top of their standard off world attire.
There was a small giggle coming from beyond the DHD, so Jack went to investigate. Sam and Teal'c held back, ready to go off and search for their friend, their comrade.
In a blinding flash of light, Jack disappeared, and this alarmed Sam and Teal'c. As they neared the DHD, they saw Jack's weapons on the ground, this was not good. He was transported somewhere else, perhaps to be cloned as well.
Jack, however, was relieved as he materialized beside Daniel, who was surprised to see him. Looking over the scene before him, Jack saw that Daniel was on a bed in a dark house. The windows were open, allowing a cool breeze to float in.
Going over to his longtime friend immediately, Jack noticed that his head and ribcage were wrapped up. The glimmer of pain and hope in Daniel's eyes were unmistakable.
He wanted to go home.
That's what Jack wanted to see, the want to go home. Clicking his radio, he called to the team, but before he saw anyone else in the house, or could finish his transmission, he was back beside the DHD, now with his weapons and everything on him, and Daniel on the ground beside him.
Sam was the first to see them come back, and both herself and Teal'c heard Daniel's all-too familiar groan. They had him back.
Sam went over and dialed the DHD, they were going home.
