Again… Wishing that they were mine, but they aren't! Except for Amanda and Tearin.
Love'n'Hugs
Chapter 4- In the Iso Room
Sam sat in the corner hugging her knees to her chest. She just sat there, staring at the door as if waiting for something to happen. As she sat there watching and waiting, the door opened and Jacob, Jack, and Amanda all walked in.
"Stay away!" She said with meaning but still clutching her knees. "Just… Stay away." She said a little quieter.
Amanda has changed into some other clothes and was now wearing a Notre Dame t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans with sneakers. As she walked up to Sam, she crouched lower as if to be less threatening. The closer she got, the more Sam seemed to recognize her. Amanda was finally next to Sam and was sitting down beside her when Sam reached out and grabbed Amanda. Neither of them moved as one consoled the other.
"I'm so glad you're here! I swear their trying to kill me! Either that or they want information about stuff, I'm not too sure yet."
"No. You're safe now, I'm here. No one is going to hurt you now. But you have to tell me something. Who is trying to get the info from you?"
"The Goa'uld. But I haven't told them anything, I swear!"
"I believe you, don't worry!"
"Tammy, Tammy, guess what!" Sam whispered excitedly as she let go of Amanda, using Tem'kras' nickname. She continued at Amanda's nod. "I've been to another planet!"
She sounds so proud of herself! Mandy thought to herself. "Have you now?" She asked back 'sceptically'.
"Yup! And they even taught me their language!" Sam sounded so proud but she was also acting rather childish about it.
"Oh? But how did you get there and back?"
Sam looked like she needed to think, and then she said very slowly and shyly, "You know that beamy thing on Star Trek?"
"Yes," Amanda said slowly. "The Transport."
"Yeah! That's how!"
"I see. And how did you get back home?"
"You can't tell anyone this or they'll kill you, but…" Then she leaned in really close and whispered in Amanda's ear, "The Stargate."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Amanda whispered back just as quietly.
Just then Dr. Fraiser and Dr. Warner walked in and Sam huddled back up again. Amanda turned to look and then turned back to Sam. "I'm going to pretend to be one of them, okay? You stay here." Then turned when Sam nodded and walked over to where everyone was standing.
"Well, she thinks everyone is trying to kill her except me. She thinks she's been to another planet, which isn't far off the mark, but…" Then she turned to Jack. "Oh yeah… has she seen Star Trek recently, because she said something about the transporters taking her to the planet and the Stargate bringing her back."
"Not that I know of."
"Okay." Then she turned to Fraiser and said rather quickly. "Can you go and get a pill of Dioxypolyacetic Triprotic- or do you have that here? And a sugar pill. Please?"
"Could you say that a little slower please?" Dr. Fraiser asked politely.
"Di-oxy-poly-acetic tri-pro-tic. It's a chemical that when introduced into the body orally, puts one to sleep and basically shuts down any non-essential brain functions. It helps the body relax enough that it gets rid of any toxins in the body. It's basically a substance that puts the body into a controlled coma."
"No, we don't have anything like that."
"Okay. I'll get Tearin to run home and get some then." She closed her eyes lightly and then a few seconds later she opened them again. "Okay, He's on his way. Doctor Fraiser, would you mind going and getting the sugar pill while we wait for him?" She asked politely.
"Sure. And I'll get the pill from Tearin at the same time." Janet said.
Once Janet left Amanda went back over to Sam. "Hey, how you holding up?" she asked quietly.
"Okay I guess."
"Hey Sam, do you want to teach me some of that other language you learned so they don't know what we're saying?" Amanda asked with a smile.
"Sure! Okay. Here's how you say 'Hello'."
"Okay. Hello."
Sam gathered herself up, stuck out her elbows, put her chin to her right shoulder and jumped while yelling, "Boing!", and throwing her head to the left. Jack tried really hard not to laugh- it really wasn't funny and yet it somehow was- Sam's dad shook his head in disbelief and Doctor Warner just stood there while Amanda looked blankly at Sam.
"Oh, I see. So you say 'Boing"." She said in utter disbelief, trying to keep a straight face.
"No, no, no, no, no… not Boing!" She drew herself up again and repeated what she had done just a few moments ago.
"I see." Just then, Janet walked into the room and Amanda looked up, told Sam that she would be right back and walked over to the little group.
"You missed it Doc. It was a priceless Sam Carter moment!" Jack was saying to her.
"Not That priceless, Jack." Amanda retorted. Jack just shrugged and smiled softly.
"Tearin said that the only dose he could get was the 100kL and was wondering if that was too much." Janet informed Amanda.
Amanda closed her eyes to do the calculations, smiled and opened her eyes again. "Nope. It's pretty much the same that we would normally give to a female that is the same age and build of Sam."
"Just curious, but how much is that in our units?" Doctor Warner asked.
"It's equivalent to approximately 300cc."
"Isn't that a bit much?" Janet asked, rather concerned for Sam's safety.
"No. That's the normal dose. And no, it doesn't matter what race Jack."
"Just thought I'd ask."
"Just, stay here." With that, she turned back to Sam. "Okay Sweetie, you need to take this. It will help you out."
Sam tried to push back into the wall even further. "NO! It's Poison! You ARE one of Them!" she yelled.
"No, no, no! Sweetie!" Amanda got close and whispered into Sam's ear. "This is an Anti-poison. So if they do give you poison, it won't hurt you." Then she held out her other hand. "See? I'm going to take one too. Do you want me to take mine first?"
"Yes!" She said stubbornly, but quietly. So Amanda took the sugar pill and opened her mouth to show Sam that, indeed, it was gone. Sam, being satisfied, took hers and a few moments later fell asleep.
"Well she'll be out for a long while. If you want, Janet, you can take her back to the infirmary. She will be perfectly fine now that the DAT is in her system."
"You are absolutely sure about this?" Doctor Warner asked, sceptically.
"Look. I know this from personal experience AND from treating several other people. So yes, I am Absolutely sure!" She said, rather annoyed. Just then Tearin walked in, stood in the doorway, took one look at the sleeping Sam then pushed the door wide open.
"I guess she's asleep then. Are we taking her back to the infirmary now?"
"I don't know. Dr. Fraiser?"
"You're the one that knows what's going on, and if you say she's okay to leave, then I'll take your word for it."
"Cool!" Then Tearin walked over to where Sam was, picked her up, and before anyone could say anything, walked out of the room and headed for the main infirmary.
AN: Sorry it took so long to get up guys! I've been really busy with school and whatnot (stupid midterms! Grrr) okay… there's a problem with the ending tho... I have three. There are three ways that this can end. I won't tell you what they are right now, as I am going to post all three. But I do need to know which one is the best because that one is going to get edited and possibly published in my local newspaper!
I know this chappie seems really cheesy, but it actually happened to a friend of mine. She forgot to take her meds one morning after we had all had a weekend of Stargate and really did end up in a padded room. I had Amanda's part in it. Don't worry, my friend told me to make this into a story! She thinks it's great!
Oh, and one more thing! I'm not putting up the endings until I have at least 3 new reviews for this one! Sorry guys, but ME NEED feedback!
Love you all!
