Previously on Stargate SG-1...
What are you guys doing?" she asked a second later.
"We're arm wrestling" Jack called.
"How?" she asked risking a look over her shoulder. She gasped and pulled over.
"JONATHAN AND SAMANTHA O'NEILL" she raged. "Buckle yourselves up!"
"My last name is Carter," the little girl said sweetly. 'But SOME DAY it will be O'Neill"
Cassie froze. "What?"
"Jack's going to marry me when we get big" she said with an engaging smile.
"When was this discussed?" Cassie demanded.
"Last night…"
And now the continuation...
"What?" Cassie demanded.
"Last night, Daniel was snoring SO loudly so we decided when we's is big, we gonna get married!" Sam and Jack explained in turns.
Cassie clapped her hand over her mouth to prevent herself from bursting into loud laughter. She could just see it. Two t-shirt clad children earnestly discussing their plans for the future.
"Are you laughing at them Cassandra?" Teal'c questioned.
"What, me laugh? No way!" she insisted.
The three children eyed her skeptically.
"Really" she repeated.
Sam shrugged "I wanna change" she announced, ignoring the fact that they were on the middle on a busy highway.
"Later, now, buckle up"
The kids moaned but obeyed.
------
Daniel picked up a sheet at random and began the slow work of translating.
------
"I want 'mocha almond fudge"
"No coffee, pick something else Sam"
"I want coffee and chocolate! Mommy always let me!"
Cassie handed Jack a Daiquiri and Margarita ice cone. She suspected it was because of the miniscule amount of rum that he had picked it.
"I'm not your mom, ok?" Cassie said accepting the second cone. Teal'c had chosen Rainbow Sherbet, Pistachio and Vanilla. An eccentric mix I grant you.
"CASSIE, I WANT CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE!" the little girl screamed. The employees sighed and the customers stared with distaste at the ill behaved child.
"Sam, you can have chocolate. Take it or leave it"
"But I want..."
'I don't care what you want. Do you want chocolate, yes or no"?
"Yes..."
"Two kid scoops of chocolate please" Cassie said turning to the employee.
Sam eagerly took hers while Cassie refueled her energy with a nice cappuccino shake... and decorously they left the building...
-----
"Marie..."
"Daniel..."
The two sentences were spoken simultaneously.
"Yes?" they both asked.
"You go" Marie urged.
"No, go on"
"Ok... um, according to this particular section, this place was feared by the Goa'uld"
"YES! That's exactly right, but why?"
Marie took a deep breath, "This says that was done for the good of 'humasa'"
"Human"
"Right... how is this good for humans?"
"I have no idea"
------
Cassie managed to get past all of the checkouts without too much embarrassment. The kids felt it absolutely necessary to make a rude comment about every SF on duty. The poor men (and women)... they didn't stand chance.
"You're just a baby! Come back next week wimp!"
"Jack!" Cassie protested giving the blushing Airman a smile.
He smiled back and let them pass.
"Jack O'Neill, you be quiet or I'm taking away all of the nice toys I just bought you!"
"Oh shi..."
"JACK!"
"What?" he whined.
"No language in this car!"
"All right!" he mumbled. "Yeesh! Everyone is picking on me!"
"We aren't" Teal'c and Sam said sympathetically.
"All the grown ups are!"
"Daniel isn't" Sam said fairly, "He's been pretty great"
"But mean ol' Hammond..."
"Yeah... let's kick him when we see him!" Sam suggested.
Cassie screeched to a halt. "You will do no such thing! He was kind enough to let me take you shopping. Now you three behave!" she said with a suspicious quiver in her voice.
"Are you going to cry?" Sam asked dismayed. "I didn't mean to be bad Cassie, honest!"
"No" Cassie gasped.
"Are you mad?" Jack tried.
"No, no!"
"I believe she is trying to prevent herself from expressing her merriment"
Cassie lost it.
-------
"Daniel, what if this was some sort of... Goa'uld catcher?"
Daniel looked up, "Goa'uld catcher?"
"Ok, Teal'c was already on tretonion so, it couldn't affect him but all of those who had Naquadah in their blood, turned... into a child"
Daniel looked up, "That doesn't make any sense. It senses Naquadah and turns you into a child? Who would build such a device?" he asked a bit incredulously.
"I don't know. I just... I think that's just..."
------
Cassie ushered the children into the elevator. As she headed to the 20th floor, she noticed Sam whimpering in the corner.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?"
"Are we on the elevator to hell?"
"What?" was all Cassie managed to get out.
"Daddy said if I was bad, I would go on the elevator to hell" she wailed.
Cassie gathered her into her arms, "No sweetie, we're just going to see Daniel. That's all"
"Promise?"
"Yes"
She sniffed, "My tummy feels weird"
"I know. When you are scared or worried or disappointed, your tummy feels weird huh?"
"Yeah" she took a deep breath "I'm not being a baby am I?"
"No Sam"
She gave Cassandra a little smile, "Thank you"
"You're welcome"
"Can I have coffee later?" she asked suddenly.
"If it's alright with Mom"
"Ok, might as well say No right now" she muttered.
The elevator chimed open.
------
"Ok, according to this..."
"Daniel!" three childish voices cheered.
He looked up to see three very sticky children heading straight for him.
"Hey guys" he mumbled.
"Who's the lady?" Jack asked.
"She is Dr. Marie Peters" Teal'c said offering her a bow.
"How do you know?" Sam demanded.
"She introduced herself once"
"We had ice cream Daniel!" Sam said flinging her arms around his neck.
"I can see"
"Lots of it!" Jack cheered.
"That's great"
"Can I change now?" Sam begged.
"I would also like to exchange my clothes for betting fitting ones"
Cassie nodded, "You should've seen the look on people's faces when they realized that's all they were wearing"
"How did they..." he stopped, "I don't want to know"
"Yeah, umm, any luck on finding out what this is?"
"Nope"
"Wait, Daniel... look at this" Marie said handing him a sheet of paper.
He quickly scanned it. His eyes widened "Whoa"
"What?"
"I think we may have the reason why they were 'shrunk'"
Stargate Commands Briefing Room...
General Hammond watched as Samantha Carter, the perfect 2IC got onto the table and began to dance.
"Sammie, sit down"
"But I don't want to" she said sweetly.
"But I want you too"
She grinned, "Who cares?"
He made himself count to ten. "Sit. Down. Now."
"Ok! " she cried. "I'll sit but after I..." her foot barely missed his fingers.
"Shoot" she mumbled.
He picked her up and plopped her in a chair next to Dr. Peters who gave the little girl a wink. Sam smiled back and sat calmly.
"Where's Dr. Jackson?" he began when the archeologist hurried in.
"Sorry I'm late General" he said apologetically.
"Doctor, you said this was urgent?"
"I THINK I know why they were made kids" he said.
"I want popcorn!" Jack announced.
"Yeah, can we watch a movie on that big screen?"
"Indeed. The Star Wars trilogy." Teal'c suggested.
Daniel gave the children a fixed stare until they quieted down.
"It's a Goa'uld remover"
Hmm... things make more sense in da next chapter!
Hope you liked it and PLEASE review!
