They emerged on the other side to find… well… not much. Jack scanned around and saw trees, god forbid, and grassland. That was all. Oh yeah, and the desert over there behind the forests. The whole team looked a little confused and lost.

"Well…"

"Yeah."

"Where is everyone?" Teal'c inquired, forgetting his voice. Of course, the team smiled then immediately became serious again. They peered around and saw no one. Not even Anise and Micor.

"Oy."

"No kidding sir," Sam grumbled. Jack smiled again. After several minutes of looking, they sat by the gate. Daniel was the first to plop down.

"Hmph!"

"Danny? What's up?" Jack asked concerned. Daniel grunted and the look on his face suggested he was upset or thinking with a deep scowl. Sam came to sit next to him as the other men continued the hopeless search.

"Daniel?"

"This isn't fair!" he cried out.

"What do you mean?" Sam asked surprised at the answer. She wouldn't expect that sort of answer from an adult Daniel unless he was really pissed off.

"These damn Tok'ra… they lead us out here then strand us! That's not FAIR!" he whined. Daniel pouted as he whined. Sam sat next to him with a plop.

"I know." Sam had the look of a spanked child. "This sucks big time."

"Major said a bad word!" Jack called.

"Shut up!" she answered angrily. She didn't like these evil, mean Tok'ra right now and didn't feel like being picked on.

"I want my DAD!" she whined loudly. "Damn it and I want him now!" Daniel grimaced nastily.

"Jack, the stupid Tok'ra left us to freaking die…"

"Wouldn't be the first time…"

"True. But Sam wants her daddy!" Carter stood up and she began to jump up and down angrily.

"I. Want. My. DAD!" Sam was on the verge of tears as she pouted and jumped. Teal'c came and held her as the other two went to her side.

"I know Sam… I know," Jack reassured. Suddenly a ring popped out of nowhere. On reaction, the four whipped out their guns and took cover. Seeing it was only Micor, Anise, and Jake all looking in the wrong direction, SG-1 came up behind them.

"Where are they?" Jacob Carter asked with concern and maybe a tad bit of impatience. Anise took a glance at her feet and noticed the "younglings," but she didn't mention anything. Jacob looked around at adult head-level. As he grumbled he heard a ghostling of "Go… go!" Then, something tugged on his pant leg. He looked down quickly, remembering the days of old.

He must have still been daydreaming, for there was his Sam at the age of ten, standing there tugging his leg.

"Daddy!" she called. Something wasn't right, she was wearing SGC clothes!

"Sam?" She hid her hands behind her back and rocked slowly.

"Hi daddy!" He saw the other little squirts around him.

"Jack? Daniel? Teal'c?" They nodded as Micor smiled. Jake knelt down and gave his Sam a giant hug. "OH! I missed you honey!"

The other humans smiled smugly. "She did too Jake. She was just having a temper tantrum." Jacob stared at his daughter's CO incredulously and looked back at his daughter. He started to chuckle.

"How did this happen?"

"Well… it has to do with a box…" Jack started to explain, but Jacob stopped him.

"Jack, this isn't a Tok'ra base. This is where your mission was supposed to be."

"And by 'supposed to mean,' I assume you mean…?"

"Go back."

"Of course. All right kids, let's go!" Jack called out. "Daniel dial it up." The colonel heard some groaning and stretching.

"Can't reach."

"Of course not, looks like we're staying." Sam was still attached to her father. She wasn't going anywhere. Jake looked at Sam then back at SG-1 and quickly Selmak decided, they stayed.

Why?

'Because only they can do this and you know it!'

But… look at them Sel! They're tiny.

'But not helpless.' Jacob actually entertained the idea.

True, but they can't-

'They can and they will.'

I hate you Selmak.

'I know!' she said with smugness of her own.

"Come on guys. Let's go debrief," Jacob sighed as Sam giggled. She got to stay with daddy! How much better could it get?
