Chapter Four - The Food

Jack was getting bored looking at the wall, table, and chairs while Daniel, Carter and Teal'c were all busy trying to decipher the writing on the wall for the past eight hours. Unfortunately, he had no memories of the ancient knowledge. The only thing that kept his interest was watching her with great pleasure. Imagination was going crazy. So he shouted, "let's eat". They had no more MREs, so alien food it was.

Teal'c sat down to a remarkable comfortable chair. The food was arranged in an appealing manner and was adequate. In fact a lot better than the Tauri food. The food didn't look or taste like any Tauri food he had eaten before though he was very hungry and happy to eat food just the same. As he was giving himself another generous helping, Daniel's voice came over the radio.

"Jack, ah Jack, ( pausing ), what if the food is tainted like the cake that Kynthia gave you.." Daniel ended off holding a piece of food he was about to eat. He thought it didn't really matter much to him either way since he was alone but mentioned it cause they were together. Fixing his glasses, smiled and ate his food.

Daniel had known for a very long time that Sam and Jack had liked each other more than they should. He knew that the only thing that kept them apart were the regs and always thought it was a stupid rule. But again he was not military, so he never thought it was a big deal. He was hoping that by now they would have shoved the regs but knew they had not. He felt very sad for them.

Upon hearing Daniel's comment over the radio, Teal'c raised an eye brow and turned his head a bit to the left but this time he also gave a rather big smile. O'Neill was like a brother to him and he had wanted to ask him why he never followed his feeling. It was so obvious that O'Neill loved Major Carter a great deal. Jaffa's were always straight to the point about their thoughts and feelings and he could not understand the Tauri in this manner. Two people who obviously loved each other so much would hold there feelings at bay. For a Jaffa, that was unnatural and even very unhealthy. But he respected O'Neill and Major Carter for the choices they had made. He could only imagine how difficult it must be for them to work so closely and yet be romantically detached.

Hearing this , they looked at the food then at one another. It was but for a second but it seemed like an eternity. There was so much emotions flowing through , that Jack ….

"Oh , for crying out loud. I am hungry ." It was his way of breaking the tension. Sam knew and felt that and was glad that he did for she was feeling very strange and really didn't know what to make of it. The food was beyond delicious but the only thing missing was a six pack of beer.

Without realizing it, two hours had passed. Daniel looked at his watch and he could not believe that he had been sitting here so comfortable eating and drinking ever so slowly. There was still so much food on the table and wondered if the food was enchanted. Well too late now. He could feel something was different about him, his feelings; he was thinking of Share. Daniel wondered if he should call out to the others, to be more specific, to Jack and Sam. He decided not to and got up to continue his research on the symbols.

Teal'c had finished eating as well. He felt so at peace as if he had just done several hours of kelnorem. His mind wondered of to happy times, with Ishta and wondered if the others were feeling strangely as he did. Smiling and giving a nod of approval, he went back to decipher the wall while light was still available.

Sam looked at the time astonished how two hours had passed. While eating , she was trying to explain to him about the symbols to fill her mind with techno babble , so as to distract her desire in kissing him. She couldn't comprehend why the urge was so strong.

Her voice was like music to his ears and it made him feel good inside like never before. He could feel his emotions stirring inside and snapping himself out of it before his thoughts got them into trouble. Jack feeling his side arm, stood up and started clearing up, hoping that she would not notice. She was startled by his abrupt action but welcomed it to get her mind back at deciphering the wall.

A couple of hours passed and Jack was able to keep his mind focused on the matter at had listening to the conversation between the three of them. The one thing they discovered was that each wall had a slightly different message but as different as they were , Daniel concluded that they were all link .

It was now starting to get dark and it was getting difficult to read the symbols. They had all been so busy looking at the symbols that non of them saw that the table had been replenished with more food and this time there were clothes laid on the beds.

Jack was the first one to have a look at the so called clothes. "If they think I am going to strip out of my BDUs , they are so out of their mind." With that, they all stayed with their BDUs.

It had been several hours since their last meal and they were all hungry, so they all decided to eat. The food was more delicious than the first meal they had which surprised them. They ate quicker this time but each bite seemed to give them more heightened sensual feeling. Eating was becoming pleasurable and their sense of touch, smell, and taste seemed more intense. The light was fading and a cold breeze was starting to blow. In fact, tonight was going to be much colder than last night.

With the last flicker of light available, Daniel said ,"well good night Teal'c." He hesitated a bit before saying, "good night Sam,. good night Jack." He got into the bed and was filled with sensations beyond his wildest dreams.

Upon hearing the hesitation of Daniel Jackson's voice, Teal'c had a big smile on his face. The Tauri had this unusual custom of saying sweet dreams when people went to sleep. Without hesitation and a bigger smile and he said. "Good night Daniel Jackson, good night Col. O'Neill and Major Carter and sweet dreams." Lying in bed , he had felt no need to do kelnorem as his mind wondered of to happier times.

Jack heard the good night wishes especially the sweet dreams and didn't answer for he had other things on his mind at the moment.

Carter answered back Daniel's wishes and upon hearing Teal'c, she gave a broad smile and blushed hoping that Jack did not see her face in the dark...

There was nothing more to be done for it was totally dark and the floor and everything around them was getting very very cold. The only warm place was the bed,
