Previously on Stargate SG-1...
"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"
And now the continuation...
"What?" three people demanded.
"If it sense Naquadah, it makes you a kid"
"WHY?" they demanded.
"I..." Daniel stopped. "I'm not sure," he admitted.
"I've had a chance to translate a little more. But..."
"What?" everyone demanded.
"We have to go back to the planet"
----
"Chevron One Encoded"
Sam squealed. "Where we going?" she begged.
The door to the embarkation room opened. "Somewhere cool Sam" he assured her.
Jack dragged his feet. "But I don't wanna go" he whined.
Teal'c stood calmly, watching the Stargate turn.
"Chevron two encoded!"
Sam stared at Daniel, astonished. "The big ring talks!"
"No, it's that nice man up there" he said pointing to him.
"I know him. He's Walter and he always has little chocolate bars in his pockets."
"Chevron 4 encoded"
Jack watched the spinning gate curiously. "Why do we have to go?" he demanded.
"Because I said so," Daniel said curtly.
Jack shrugged and assumed an I-could-care-less attitude.
"Chevron 5 encoded!"
"There is nothing to be afraid of O'Neill" Teal'c assured him.
"How do you know?" Jack demanded.
"I merely know"
"Chevron 6 encoded!"
The three children drew together; instinctively knowing something was about to happen.
"Chevron seven... locked!"
As the 'whoosh' shot out, Jack and Sam screamed simultaneously.
"What's the matter?" Daniel demanded.
Sam recovered her composure, "It's water!" she cried delighted hurrying up the ramp.
"Sam freeze, Marie can you..." he said gesturing to Sam. Dr. Peters nodded and hurried up the ramp.
"Jack, what's the matter?"
"The energy the Gate must release to create a stable wormhole is - is astronomical"
Daniel blinked. "What?"
Jack shrugged, "I like astronomy"
"Ok... ready to go"
Jack nodded and the three children and two adults hurried though. As the gate deactivated, Cassie turned to her mother, "Mom, have I go a story to tell you!"
"WOW!" Sam cried as she stepped through, "LOOK! TWO MOONS!"
"Sweet!" Jack said with a huge grin.
Daniel watched the two of them interact with a small smile. They were holding hands and exclaiming over the simplest things. He had to keep reminding himself they were only five. They both were incredibly intelligent children.
Teal'c slowly scanned the area before descending the steps to the 'gate. Daniel wondered what kind of childhood Teal'c had lead. With no father, banished to another planet...
"Daniel Jackson. The area is secure"
"Thanks Teal'c"
The boy nodded and followed his companions down the sloping hill towards the small temple.
The site was awe-inspiring. A small temple surrounded by a thick wall divided into three sections. Goa'uld, Mayan, and a language Daniel secretly thought was a derivative of the Ancient language. The 'wall' stretched some hundred feet, protecting the temple. There was a narrow passage way and inside one could see greenery around the temple. The place looked deserted. The silence was broken by two young voices.
"RACE YA!"
"No fair!" Sam protested. "You got a head start!"
Daniel watched as the children entered the passageway and immerged a minute later, safe.
He nodded and Teal'c was through a minute later. He and Marie exchanged glances and walked through the passageway. Nothing happened.
"Daniel! This place is cool!" Sam gushed.
Daniel looked around. This was the perfect place for a kid to be. Trees with fruit, trees to climb; there appeared to be a sand pit over there and was that a SWING over there?
'DANIEL!"
"Marie?" he asked looking over at her, "What is it?"
"Teal'c and Sam went into the temple"
------
"Wow, it's dark..." Sam muttered, grabbing Teal'c's hand.
"I told you to stay behind Samantha but you did not listen"
"Shut up"
"Do not say that again Samantha Carter or I will wash your mouth out with soap"
"Fine!"
They continued down the narrow hall. "Are we going down stairs?"
"It appears to slope down"
"Are there stairs? I LOVE stairs!"
"Be quiet Samantha. Enemies may be near by"
"You sound like my mom. Perfect grammar. She was English you know. Well, she came from England when she was about Mark's age."
"Your brother Mark?"
"Yeah" she was quiet, "My dad is in the Air Force. He's almost never home."
"I see"
"What 'bout your Dad?"
"He is dead"
"I'm sorry"
"As am I"
They reached a small room that was emitting a weird green light.
"What is it?" Sam asked curiously.
"I am unsure"
She started for the room but was detained by the small boy. "I think it wise to alert Daniel Jackson as to the presence of this room"
"Ok..." the girl agreed reluctantly.
-----
Daniel and Marie hurried through the hall followed by Jack. The two children met them half way,
"Marie, you GOT TO see this!" the little girl said grabbing her arm.
"What?"
"There is this green room and it is SO cool!"
Daniel and Marie automatically looked over at Teal'c.
"There is a room with a peculiar glow. We thought perhaps you would like to see it"
"Yeah" the two archeologists said simultaneously.
They headed down the hall...
------
"Wow"
Daniel held back, "Wait, this COULD be one of those Goa'uld things..." he said, "The drug thing" he elaborated.
Marie shook her head; "According to your reports Dr. Jackson, there was a pedestal from which the light came from. This has none"
Everyone stared silently at the eerie green room.
"Well, I'm going in there" Jack announced and before anyone could stop him, he dashed into the room.
A hologram appeared.
"Child!"
Jack froze. "Uh oh" he whispered.
"You have been made an infant because of your many crimes against the people of many worlds."
"I'm not an infant!" he hissed.
"What the heck?" Sam whispered clinging to Marie.
"You have forgotten your past. Relive your life freely without worry, all bad is gone"
Daniel's eyes widened. "Oh my god"
"What?" Marie demanded.
"That... thing above the entry way! It must sense Naquadah and thinking you are a Goa'uld, it turns you into a child. It just... literally makes you back into what you were when you were a child"
"Then how do they..." she began when the hologram continued to speak.
"We have allowed you to keep your most precious memories. If you are ever in need, dial the chapp'ai to this address." Seven symbols flashed across the wall. The hologram smiled. "I hope you live happily"
"Dr. Jackson, this does NOT make sense!"
Daniel was staring at the wall. "We need to go there"
"What?"
"We have to go to that planet!"
"Why?"
"Maybe they can help the kids"
Marie's gaze softened, "Daniel, I doubt it. This place is obviously old. It's been abandoned for years!"
"But..." he stopped. Jack and Sam were playing some sort of skipping game while Teal'c stood in the doorway watching them. Sarcastic Jack was smiling and showing Sam the way he played. He remembered the boy's earlier comment about the wormhole. Sam's impish self was definitely amusing and she was adorable while Teal'c was Teal'c but...
"Dr. Jackson?"
"We owe them that much Marie," he said quietly. "They deserve that much"
She silently acknowledged his comment. "Kids, come on" she called, "We're going..." she stopped. "We're going home" she finished softly.
Daniel winced. Where ever this planet was could very well become home.
The kids with slight groans hurried to the Stargate without too much complaint. Daniel slowly dialed the address from the wall.
"Daniel Jackson. This is not the correct address"
"I know"
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere that will... fix you"
"What is wrong with me?' he asked. He was not stupid. From what he had heard, they had been older at one time. He didn't understand HOW but he knew that much.
"I can't explain now, do you trust me?"
The boy nodded.
Daniel pressed the red center, "Let's go!" he called.
The two human children raced through followed closely by the two grown ups and Jaffa children...
"Oh my..."
Hmm. make any more sense?
Hope you liked it and PLEASE review!
