Name: The Truth of The Matter

"We were to late. It's gone." Vala for once in her life at the SGC let tears flow freely down her paling face. "Quetesh killed them. Horrid is she." She spat on the ground, and then raced down the city street towards a large house upon a hill. Well actually the remains of a large house on a hill. Promptly, she stepped over the burned down wall, and into what looked like a family room.

"Was this your house?" Daniel asked. He had sprinted after her to, make sure she didn't hurt herself. He wanted little Vala to still be able to grow up into adult Vala. Even if said adult Vala was quite a nuisance he'd grown to love.

"Yes it was." She shuddered, and stood. Something was wrong. Before she could say anything, her body burst into a bright blue light. When the light disappeared adult Vala was there. "Daniel? Where are we?" Vala looked around herself confused. Taking in the scenery she realized where they were.

"Whoa…" was all Daniel could say. He was amazed at the sudden growth. Now if only puberty actually did work like that. "Vala how are you feeling?" He asked her approaching slowly.

"Um fine, how are you. Daniel what are we doing here. I want to go home now!" Her face hid the pain behind the anger. She stomped her foot.

"Oh I'm good. We're here because you brought us here. What's the last thing you remember?" He poked her in the arm making sure she was whole. Vala swatted at him, and then poked him back.

"Um a blinding light that came from that stupid little box we were looking at. Can we just go home now please? I don't want to be here." She shoved her way past Daniel. Daniel reached out and grabbed her arm yanking her back.

"Not until you tell me what happened to this place." Daniel demanded, giving her a cold look. He knew she just wanted to leave the heartache behind, and push it to the back of her mind but he wouldn't let her do that not, now.

"No Daniel." She pulled back her arm but started telling him her story of tragic and woe. "I was 5 when my mother died, and then he married his secret lover Adria. She was nice at first; I like her until she started beating me, when I did something a tad bit off. She loved my elder sisters, and my little sister, but not me. I could never figure out why. I think it was because my father loved me the most out of all my other sisters." She stopped and took a breath.

"Quetesh, who ruled over this fair planet, came visiting that day looking for a new, fresh, young body. Adria 'accidentally' shoved me out in front of her. She chose me, and promised to be back in two days to take me. Adria couldn't have been happier. So Quetesh took me, and then Quetesh made me kill my father…and my soon-to-be-husband. I can still remember the look of fear, and pleading with in their eyes. But I had no control over what I was doing. She killed them, and then burned down the whole town leaving no one alive." Vala wiped at her face quickly. "Can we go home now?"

Daniel didn't respond but pulled her into a hug. "I'll never let any Goa'uld or Ori take you again, ever. You'll be safe with me now, as long as you promise to still argue with me." Vala chuckled slightly at his reasoning with her.

"Of course Daniel, that's the only way I could ever live with you." She locked arms with his, and they made a hasty retreat back to the stargate. Back at home; everyone was pleased to have adult Vala back, even though it was amusing to have seen Vala as a kid and teenager.

Two months after returning, on the notice board in the commissary there was a picture of Vala wearing the suit Daniel had forced her into. She ripped it off and stormed to Daniel. "YOU…have got to be kidding me. You have no fashion sense what so ever. This is ugly. If I ever have a child, you will not be dressing her."

"Who says it's a her?"

"What do you mean?"

"I found the test Vala."

"Oh well…" She was pulled into a group hug, even Teal'c was hugging her, well actually he was hugging the whole group.

A/N: BWAHAHA. I may just write another story. MAYBE. Depends on the reviews.
