Author's Notes: Wow. Everyone said this wasn't stupid. Thanks guys. Yes, I did kill off Jack. I'm sorry but it had to be done. Daniel's still alive though.

By the way, q asked about my name. It's my friend's nickname and mine together.


"Oh you've got to be kidding me! Daniel's the one who dies all the time!"

"Yeah, well, unlike both Daniels you didn't come back. You didn't ascend. A goa'uld went into you and we weren't able to get it out. We ended up having to shoot the goa'uld when it took over you, Jack." Kawalski's face was solemn and almost regretful.

"The same thing happened to you." Cameron spoke to Kawalski with a matter-of-fact tone.

"Damn. So I got snaked. That's just wonderful." Typical Jack O'Neill trying to lighten the mood again.

"This is really going to make Jack's ego go off the charts but it's hard to even imagine how you survived without him." Daniel said, not even looking Jack's way because Daniel knew he would be smirking.

"Well we managed." General Hammond replied with his arms folded across his chest with a smirk of his own.

"Hey, Jack. I just realized something. You owe me $200."

Everyone turned to look at Daniel then Jack with a 'we are so disappointed in you guys' look.

Colonel Carter spoke up, "You made a bet on whether the other Jack would be alive or not?"

Daniel replied with his innocent little boy look and voice, "No, of course not." He paused for just a moment. "We made a bet on whether or not the other me was alive for $100 and whether or not the other you ant the other Jack were, uh, 'involved' for $100. Jack lost both."

Sam gave Daniel a small glare and then she turned her angry glare to Jack. He actually looked afraid. She was about the only person or thing that could terrify him to his very core.

"We made that bet a long, long time ago before the quantum mirror was destroyed and after the cabin thing. At least be glad I betted for us!"

"You don't see Cameron, Teal'c, or me betting on things like that."

Teal'c raised his eyebrow and Cameron decided at that moment that his shoes were just fascinating. At seeing their reactions Sam crossed her arms in an angry way that she didn't quite pull off. "Well, at least I'm not."

"Speaking of bets, who's going to bet that we are going to have to find our own way out of here?" Cameron addressed the group in a not so chipper mood.

"I am confident Dr. Carter, if she is anything like our Colonel Carter, confirmed that there is a way to return us to our own reality before she activated the device." Teal'c said as he spoke up for the first time. He usually was rather negative toward the alternate reality people. Our reality is the only one that matters after all. Right?

"You are correct Teal'c and thank you." Teal'c bowed his head.

Sam leaned over and whispered to Jack having dropped her fake anger over the betting, "Ok, Teal'c, Daniel, and Cameron are starting to scare me. Are we sure that they are from our reality?"

"They do seem a little out of character and Teal'c's being rather optimistic," Jack whispered back right in her ear.

They both gave each other stupid grins. It wasn't very funny but they were in really good moods. They would have been in even better moods if they were alone and back in Sam's house though.

"So we have a way to get home. I say we stick around for a little while before that entropic failure thing happens," Cameron spoke not noticing Jack and Sam's renewed interest in each other.

Jack was going to kill Cameron.


I didn't really know how to end this chapter. I have just a few ideas for the next chapter so far. Let me know if you reviewers have any ideas that I could possibly use with your permission of course. So, still liking this guys?
