Chapter Ten
School
Author's Note: It takes one patch of ice, a steep trail, and a backflip to end up in bed for a month with a hard neck brace. Ack-it's getting better though...thanks for the get well wishes and wonderful reviews :) Also, I'm getting up to Sam's main entrance. I didn't forget about Jack or Teal'c either-just moving gears in my mind for ideas!
Disclaimer: If I owned Stargate, well, it'd be a whole lot different then it is during this season.

SAM AND DANIEL – CAFETERIA AT CSSHS
"So, where do you wanna sit?" Daniel asked Sam as he scanned the cafeteria for a seat. Ultimately, where you sat had a big effect on your reputation; screw this one up, and you'd be in the doghouse. Sam glanced to her right, and spotted a door propped open with a rock. Apparently there was a little patio to eat on outside. They found a table, and sat down to eat.
"Ew, this stuff is worse than the MITS we get off world," Sam said as she scrunched her face up. "Think Janet could hook us up with some homemade lunches?"
"Sam, she's on base as much as we are, when is she gonna have time to make lunches for us?" Daniel asked tilting his head from the sun.
"No, I mean we could pick some stuff up from the food store, and pack our own lunches. I had to do that all through high school because Dad was always on the base."
"Okay, we'll ask later for a ride to the supermarket." Daniel said as he picked at some type of vegetable mixed into his salad.
JACK AND TEAL'C –ARRIVING AT CSSHS
"Hey T, uh I just realized something. Um, I don't know my own schedule or anything, so..." Jack began with the sentence trailing off.
"Can we not ask for directions, O'Neill?" Teal'c responded.
"Won't that seem kinda weird though?"
"I am not sure. We must find out though."
Jack laughed, "Indeed, but hey do you have your Zat on you?"
"It would not be wise to take it out at this time, we must enter the building soon though. Would it not look suspicious of us to be standing in the parking lot?" Teal'c answered. O'Neill was already making him weary, why must he insist on using intergalactic means to achieve a simple task, he pondered. Jack had started to walk towards the front doors though so he followed behind.
DANIEL
"Hello, I'm Daniel. Could you point me to this room?" Daniel asked a girl that came his way, and held his schedule up for her to see.
"Oh, sure. You have to go to the second floor, take a right, and the door is the second one on the left. Oh yeah, I'm Casey." The girl replied. She had shoulder length brown hair, greenish eyes, and a soft rosy complexion. She kneeled down to fix a high heeled boot, and then stood up. "Actually, I happen to be going to the same class," She said through a brilliant smile.
"Oh?"
"Yeah."
"Cool, so do you like your history class here? I'm a bit of buff myself." Daniel said back to her casually. He then glanced at his watch. "Eh, we should probably head upstairs now. The bell's gonna ring any minute"
"Yes, we should." Casey and Daniel made their way of their stairs. "I do like history class here to answer your question though. Dr. Adie worked in Egypt on archeological digs before she came here to teach us. She's really nice, you'll like her a lot." The girl told Daniel as recognition set in.
"Dr. Jenna Adie? Is that her name?" he asked.
"Yeah, why? Do you know her?"
"I, uh, think I met her once with my parents – they are archeologists as well."
"Oh, cool! Did they ever find anything big?" Casey continued, now intrigued.
"Nope, just normal…rocks and stuff." He didn't, well; he couldn't mention that he may have discovered one of the most important artifacts known to man. The Stargate was a secret, obviously. The pair entered a room a moment later.
All throughout the lesson, Daniel was dying to ask if Jenna, well Dr. Adie (to students), ever had found any remains of a wild goose chase for treasure in Brazil. She had bought a supposedly "real" treasure map on a trip there, but Daniel saw that it wasn't a fake when she gave it to him as a goofy souvenir. It had been carbon dated to over 1000 years old. He never did find out the outcome of her search being that he was snatched up for the Stargate Project soon after. Daniel always enjoyed her presence during classes in college though. She was bubbly and loved history as much as he did; it was a shame he couldn't tell her who he truly was. Class ended soon enough though, and once again his focus was solely on getting to his next class.
