"SG-1 you have a go," Jack said as he put his hat on. "Thank you sir." He said patting his own head.

"Jack," Daniel said. "Stop it."

"O-Kay," he said then quickly followed Carter and Teal'c through the Stargate. "Whoa!" Jack said as he took a step backwards and bumped into Daniel. "This is not the place that it showed on the MALP!"

"No sir, it's not," Carter said as she walked down the steps of the Stargate.

"It's better!" Jack shouted. The Stargate was on the sand of a beach.

"Jack, that means it doesn't have the temple," Daniel said disappointed. "And-

"We are not alone." Teal'c said.

"What?"

"Someone is nearby,"

"How'd you know?" A girl about the age of seven asked as she came out of her hiding place behind a tree, she had curly dark brown hair that came to her shoulders, she wore a brown old dress, and her eyes were a beautiful blue. "How'd you know you weren't alone?"

"I heard you," Teal'c said.

"Oh, hmm…" The young girl said.

"Who are you, what's your name?"

"I am me, myself and I, also know as Beth," she said with a bow.

"Hello… Beth, who are you?" Daniel asked as he pushed up his glasses.

"The last one left." she said with a serious face.

"Last one left?" Jack echoed.

"The others are dead, they have been dead for years," Beth explained

"The others?" Carter asked as she took a step closer.

"My people, they left through the doorway of the gods, and never returned."

"Oh... I'm sorry," Daniel said. "How long have you been alone?"

"And how did you put up a false picture and-"

"I do not know, the others did that before they left, but that was years ago," Beth said. "Why have you come?" she took a step closer.

"We're explorers, we came to find a temple that was on the... false picture." Daniel said.

"He was going to find the temple," Jack said as he pointed to Daniel.

Beth smiled. "Are you human?"

"Yes, are you?"

Beth smiled. "Of course!" she said with a giggle. "What else would I be?"

Jack shrugged.

Beth skipped in a circle. "Do you want to play with me? I haven't played with anyone for a while, ever since the other went away."

"Well we don't really have time for-"

"Yes, we would love to play with you," Daniel cut in.

"Daniel?"

"Jack," Daniel said as he turned to him. "She hasn't had anyone to play with her..."

Jack sighed. "All right but only for a little while, ok?"

Beth smiled and clapped her hands. "Excellent!"

"What are we going to play?" Carter asked.

"Have you ever heard of gat?" Beth asked.

"Gat?" Carter and Jack asked.

Beth skipped up to her and touched her shoulder shyly. "Gat!"

Carter smiled. "Yeah, we all know that one"

"Excellent!"

----

After 30 minutes of 'freeze tag', Jack's knee gave out, and they all stopped.

"You should really get that knee fixed!" Beth said.

Jack groaned. "It's really not that easy."

"Oh," Beth said. "Are you all in need of nourishment?"

"Umm, I guess we could eat a little," Jack said as he turned to Carter who nodded.

"Follow me," she said as she hurried off.

"I guess we should follow the lady…"

----

So SG-1 followed Beth through a big and thick forest, across some big puddles over a small hill, they had been walking over forty-five minutes before they reached a small village, an abandoned village, there couldn't have been more then thirty houses or so. Jack looked around and whistled. "Nice place." he said as he nodded his approval.

"Thank you." Beth said as she skipped into one of the houses.

Jack followed by Carter, Daniel and Teal'c entered the house.

"It's… nice," Carter said, all but two places in the room were really dusty.

"Thank you," Beth said as she pulled something out of something. "Here, fruit, eat."

"Thank you." Cater said as she picked up something that looked a lot like pineapple, she coughed then sneezed.

"You have allergies Carter?" Jack asked.

Carter turned to him. "No really, but my nose hates dust,"

"Ahh."

Carter smiled.

"Eat it!" Beth said as she took a piece for herself.

Carter slowly took a bite. "It's good."

Jack, Teal'c and Daniel took a bite. "Mmm-hmm."

Beth smiled.

Suddenly Carter fell to the floor.

"Carter!" Jack called as he and Teal'c rushed to her side, then Daniel fell.

"What's going on?" Beth asked.

"I don't know!" Jack shouted, and then he fell on top of Carter and Teal'c on top of Daniel.

Beth stared at them in shock.

----

Carter woke up with a groan to find General O'Neill laying on top of her, her eyes widened she picked up her hand and shook him. "General," she whispered. "General wake up!" she said as she tried to get out from under him, but he was just a little to heavy, or maybe it was just that she felt weak… "General!"

Jack woke up; he lifted up his face and was two inches away from his 2IC's face. "Carter!" he shouted as he hurried and got off her. "What the hell happened here? Why were we sleeping?"

"I don't know sir."

"Uhh!" Daniel shouted. Jack and Carter turned to him; Teal'c had fallen asleep on him, in the worst possible way. "Someone help me get him off" Daniel said as he started pushing him away, but Teal'c woke up instantly, he sat up then stood up.

"What has happened?"

"You guys fell asleep," Beth said from the corner of the room. "After you ate the fruit, I guess you guys shouldn't have it…"

Jack looked at his watch. "We have to go, we've been sleeping for two hours!" he shouted as he picked up his backpack and headed for the door.

"No, stay! Don't leave me please!" Beth begged.

"Come with us," Carter said.

"I can't!" Beth shouted.

"Why?" Daniel asked.

"Because! My mom promised me she would come back some day! I'm going to wait for her."

"How long has it been?" Daniel asked.

She gave him a miserable glance. "Twelve seasons…"

Carter sighed. "I don't think they are ever coming back sweetie, come with us-"

"THEY WILL! THEY WILL!" Beth shouted. "Please don't leave me."

"I'm sorry," Carter said. "Come with us,"

Beth shook her head, and walked over to a bed and sat down.

"Come on lets go," Jack said as he poked his head into the house.

"Coming sir!" Carter said.

"We just can't leave-"

"She doesn't want to come!" Jack said.

SG-1 hiked their way back to the Stargate, and went home. Beth sat on her bed shaking her head. They had to come back they just had to!

I hope the end of that last part didn't sound fake…

So? How was it? More coming soon! But in the meantime, please review!

Note: I know I didn't mention his kids in this chapter, but this story is not just about them, it's about Jack too.
