Chapter 12: One Body, Two Minds, Big Trouble

Daniel and Teal'c stepped through the gate and was greeted on the other side by Freya. She walked up to them and told them to follow her as the ship was just over the ridge.

The Stargate seemed to have been put in the middle of a crater and the planet itself seemed to be similar to that of Abydos, totally sand. Daniel grabbed the remote for the FRED which had all of there supplies on it.

After a ten minute walk they finally reached the top of the ridge and were now able to see the Alkash that they were going to use for the trip. Another five minutes and they were at the door which was open. Freya went in first followed by FRED then Daniel then Teal'c bringing up the rear.

Freya walked into the cargo hold and Daniel followed with FRED as Teal'c sat at the helm. Inside the cargo hold a few modifications had been made their were now three platforms that were given the function of beds for the duration of the mission. Daniel had finished looking around and noticed something.

"Where's Jacob?" he asked looking at Freya.

"He is just upgrading the engines so we can really push them with a decreased risk of blowing them out." Freya answered looking confident.

"Oh right, is that wise?"

"Probably not Danny but I want my daughter back as soon as possible." Jacob had entered the cargo hold from the engines.

"Great so are we ready to go."

"Yea, when you are. Where's Teal'c?" Jacob asked.

"He's taken the Captains chair already. He's eager to get going as soon as possible." Daniel said he smiled when he saw the slightly confused look on Freya's face at the mention of the captains chair but he really couldn't be bothered elaborating.

"Teal'c lets get this thing moving" Jacob shouted as he went through on to the Bridge. The ship suddenly started vibrating as Teal'c switched on the engines. The vibrating changed to bumps and jerks as the ship left the ground and the planets behind.

Daniel started unpacking FRED once he was sure they were of the planet. Freya helped well actually it was Anise now. They both went to grab at the med kit and for a second their hands touched.

Daniel suddenly remembered what Jack had told him about Anise liking him. Jack had found out when Freya had made a pass at him and told him that 'Anise liked Dr Jackson but she would just have to suffer'. Daniel thought he was being typical O'Neill and was just tormenting him but in that second he thought he saw a glint of something in Anises eyes then she decided to go and make sure Teal'c was on the right course and left, leaving a very confused Daniel to unpack on his own.

Daniel had finished unpacking and decided he would go and see how Teal'c was and maybe even try and find out what had just happened between himself and Anise. That plan was shot out of the airlock the second he stepped on to the Bridge.

Anise had spotted him and told Jacob she was going to go and run some diagnostics on the engines to make sure they were running efficiently. Should go after her? No you'll just make it look suspicious. It already looks suspicious. Maybe not. "Hey T, how are things going?

"As well as could be expected Daniel Jackson." Teal'c replied not taking his eyes of the sensors in front of him.

"Good, good"

"Is everything ok with you Danny?" Jacob asked watching Daniels preoccupied looking face.

"Yea fine. Just a bit worried about Sam and Jack they have been out there for so long. I wonder how they're holding up."

Sam screamed and then slid to the side. They were both hot and sweaty. She lay on her side and surveyed Jack. Her eyes sweeping over all of his features, over everything that had attracted her to him.

He turned onto his side and looked into her eyes. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I just have one question."

"After everything we just did you only have the one?"

"Yea. Why did you choose an old geezer over a young, fit coach driver?" Sam looked at him and realising he was being serious she burst out laughing. "What? What so funny?" he started to snigger. She finally managed to control the laughing and began to explain.

"I'll tell you why. Does a young coach driver have these hypnotising brown eyes?" she kissed his eye. "Or these mysterious scars?" she kissed each scar she could see from the one just above is eye to the one on his lower abdomen. "Or theses safe, warm, strong arms?" she kissed his arms. "Or these strong but caring hands?" she kissed both arms. "Or even these knee tingling lips?" She kissed him gently on the lips.

"Well if you put it like that." He climbed on top of her. "I guess I can understand." She started to giggle. "No giggling Carter."

"What?"

"What?"

"You just called me Carter."

"Oh well who cares we'll figure it out tomorrow." And with that he kissed her passionately making on thoughts of his out burst disappear along with their restraints.
