Previously on Stargate SG-1...
"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.
------
"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..."
And now the continuation...
Swarms of children and teenagers were crowding around the Stargate as they immerged.
"Oh my" Marie repeated looking around.
"Yeah"
"Haba tai no?" a little brown pixie tried.
Daniel shook his head.
"Io Goa'uld?"
"No, no, no!" Daniel protested. "I'm Daniel Jackson from Earth. These are my friends"
The little girl clapped her hands and the children scattered.
"Why are you here?"
"To... find your leader"
"Are you good?" she asked.
"I think so..."
The girl shrugged, "All right. First, tell me your names"
"I'm Daniel. This is Marie, that's Jack, Sam's next to him and this is Teal'c"
"He is Jaffa"
"Yes"
She smiled. "No longer will you be haunted by your evil deeds"
"What evil deeds?" the boy demanded. "I have done nothing of which I am ashamed of!"
"Of course not" the girl said soothingly. "Follow me!"
"Wait..." Marie began
"Yes?" she asked.
"Who are you?"
The girl pursed her lips. "You may call me Jenny," she said finally. "Do you like that name?" she asked anxiously.
"Yeah, I guess"
"What is your favorite?" she demanded.
"Name?"
'Jenny' nodded.
"I've always been partial to Amy" Marie admitted.
"Then I am Amy. Follow me!"
------
"Now..."
There was a knock on the door and several dozen students looked up.
"Come in!" a man who appeared to be the teacher called.
The door opened and a head poked in.
"Ahh Sarah... what can I do for you?"
"I'm Amy now and some visitors want to see you!"
The class was on their feet.
"Show them in" the man said calmly.
Daniel, Marie and the kids walked in slowly, not knowing what to expect. They were surprised to see a fairly modern looking schoolroom. Around 20 students sat at desks ranging from about eight to fourteen. A tall about 70 approached dressed in a robe that looked similar to one that Jaffa wear.
"May I help you?" he asked with flawless English.
"I... I need to talk to your leader" Daniel stammered.
"I am Hassan. May I assist you?"
"Yes... I suppose."
"He's the hologram on the other planet" Marie whispered.
"How may I assist you?"Hassan repeated.
"You turned my friends into children," Daniel said, strangely tongue-tied.
The man's brows rose "Children, vana a'ti!" he ordered. They obediently turned back to their desks and bent over some parchment. Hassan nodded towards the door. "Perhaps we could discuss this in the other room?" he suggested.
Marie took over, "Certainly"
"Follow me please," he said leading the way.
"Now, what do you wish?"
"I want you turn them back into adults!"
"Impossible"
"Why?" Marie asked. "I don't understand. Why build such a device?"
He sighed. "Do you wish to listen an old man's story?"
The kids shook their head no. Daniel and Marie nodded and Amy shrugged.
"Very well..."
"I was once a host to the Goa'uld. All the things I did... I will never be able to forgive myself. Anyways, during one of my visits, I was captured by a race that offered to remove the Goa'uld. They are called the Tok'ra"
"Yeah, we know them." Daniel interjected.
"Their cause still lives?"
"Yes, I..."
"I will continue"
"After my symbiote was removed I was plagued with dreams. I decided I would other victims of the Goa'uld. I built the device. Many Goa'uld visited the planet believing it to be a treasure trove of advanced weapons. It detects Naquadah, Transports them to the temple. I used nanocytes to make them younger. The body then rids them self of it. I then scan their memories and remove ones associated with pain. I have had various hosts come and beg me to do this to them. I give them a chance to be normal. "
"That's fascinating!" Marie said, her eyes sparkling.
"Yes, but my friends weren't Goa'uld"
Hassan paused. "They were not?"
"No"
"I have read the readings..." he paused "Your name sir?"
"Dr. Daniel Jackson, but-"
"It clearly shows that the female child was a host at one time. The dark one was a Jaffa and the one called 'Jack' has been an host as well."
"Both Major Carter and Jack were hosts to the Tok'ra at one time or another. Teal'c joined our side years ago. He uses a substance called 'tretoion' instead of a symbiote."
Hassan paled. "I do apologize"
"Can you reverse it?"
"No"
Daniel winced. "Nothing?"
"No." Hassan paused. "I'm sorry Dr. Jackson. I've- I have never had this happen before" The man paused again.
"Why is the man sorry?" Sam whispered to Amy.
"I don't know," she whispered.
"Just like a girl" Jack mumbled. "Never know anything"
"HEY!" Sam protested.
Jack smirked but didn't say anything.
Sam's fist suddenly connected with his right eye. "That'll teach him!"
Amy stared at him wide eyed. "Wow!": she called as he stood up. "You're going to have a black eye!"
Daniel looked like he was about to cry. These were his friends fighting! His friends. They went into the field with him, they nagged him, helped him...
"I can restore some of their memory" Hassan offered. "The girl knows much about astrophysics, the boy knows much about military tactics, and the Jaffa child... he remembers much more then the others."
Daniel nodded. "Do it"
"Dr. Jackson, shouldn't we contact General-"
"Please Hassan" Daniel said ignoring the lady.
"Very well. We must return to the planet"
"All right, Jack, Sam, Teal'c, we're going!" he called.
The children ran over, their faces aglow with excitement.
"DANIEL! Amy is so cool! She is the best of us at hopscotch!"
"Whoa Sam, calm down"
"Are we leaving?"
"Yes?"
"Can Amy come?" she begged.
Daniel looked over at Hassan who nodded.
"Amy! You're going with us!"
"Cool!"
---------
"The procedure is complete."
Daniel looked up, "Thank you" he said quietly. "Where are the kids?"
"They will be tired but a day will cure them" Hassan paused then continued. "I have deactivated the device and will bury the gate on my side as soon as I arrive"
Daniel nodded. "Good luck Hassan."
Hassan smiled then hurried off. After several minutes, the distant sound of the gate being activated was heard.
"Let's go get the kids" he said wearily.
Marie silently followed him into the room. Daniel froze in the entrance. "He forgot the kid!"
It was true. Amy was curled up next to Teal'c.
"And he was going to bury the gate..." Marie whispered.
Amy stirred and opened her eyes. "Marie!" she said softly trying not to wake up the kids, "Hassan said I could stay with you!"
Sam moaned. Daniel left Marie to deal with the little girl and hurried over to her. "Sam?"
Her eyes fluttered open "Daniel?"
"Hi"
"What are we doing here?"
"Do you remember what happened last?"
"Yeah." she said beginning to sit up, "We were going to explore 93R-142"
"Yeah"
"Daniel?"
"What?" he asked.
"Why do I feel like demanding cotton candy?"
"Umm… take a look at yourself Sam"
She looked down and promptly screamed. This woke up a grouchy Jack, which in turn woke up Teal'c.
"Carter! Do you have to squeal like a little kid?" Jack began rolling over to face her. A look of utter shock passed across his face. "Carter? What happened to you?"
"Speak for yourself sir!" she retorted.
Teal'c looked up, "This is not possible" he said.
"I know Teal'c" Daniel said gently.
"Are we clones?" Jack demanded.
"Not exactly"
"Who's that?" Jack asked pointing to Marie.
Daniel sighed. "Let's go home"
The kids sensed his mood and everyone was silent on the way back to the gate. They dialed home; Marie and the kids went through quickly. Daniel paused first and took one last look around. With a sigh, he went through to face the General and one very angry father...
Hmm... I hope it isn't moving too fast and that you guys like the changes...
Well let me know... PLEASE review!
