Danielle breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the door. She'd been walking up these steps for at lest fifteen minutes. She'd been so excited that she forgot about using the transporter.

She opened the door and gasped. The room was beautiful. It was the room John had taken Genna to the night before. An envelope was lying in the middle of the floor. She picked it up and began to read.

Danielle,

Keep it up, you're almost there! Since you watched the show, I hope you will know this. Your next clue lies with Hail Mary.

Love,

Your Secret Admirer

She giggled at this. This clue was too easy. Grinning she remembered the episode clearly. The team was sitting around, watching a recorded football game. John had been explaining why he had brought it, which in turn, lead him to explain what a Hail Mary was to Teyla.

She'd figured out the clue, now all she had to do was find John. As she wondered around Atlantis looking for him, she decided that this wasn't as easy at had first seemed. He could be anywhere.

She stopped by the gate room, just in time to see a team coming through. She watched silently, after all of this time she still couldn't believe that they were there. The sight of the gate shutting off brought her back to her senses. She could be sentimental later, right now she had a Colonel to find.

She found him sitting patently at a table in the lunchroom. He looked at her in fake annoyance.

"Sure did take you long enough." She hit him on the shoulder and took the envelope.

"It's not as if you made it very easy. I checked this place twice." She heard him chuckle lightly, but she was too immersed in the clue to pay any attention.

Dear Danielle,

Finally, you've come to the end of the bread crumb trail. You will find your gift in a busy place. If you were to ever disappear as suddenly as you came into my life, this is where they would have to take me. However, they could never mend my broken heart and soul.

Love,

Your Secret Admirer

"Awww, it so sweet!" She exclaimed, forgetting where she was. A few people looked at her out of curiosity, but she didn't pay any attention. She was to busy trying to figure out the clue. If she hadn't been thinking about how sweet it was, she might've got it a minute sooner. However, at that moment Genna and Anita burst into the room, laughing at something Anita had said. Danielle saw Genna blush and realized that John must still be sitting there. As the made it to the table, Genna and John said their hellos, but were quickly interrupted as Anita shrieked "Danielle Summers! Haven't you figure out where the gift is?"

"Guilty, but this is my last clue." Anita grabbed it out of her hand to read it. She had a smile on her face as she passed it off to Genna, who in turn, let out an "AWWW!"

"So why are you still here?" John asked.

"What do you mean?"

"It obvious where he wants you to go." Danielle thought about the note and realized where he'd been talking about. She said a quick goodbye before rushing off to the infirmary.

Danielle stood at the door to the infirmary, mentally calming herself. She walked in taking in the sight before her. It was the same as the night before, except that there was some nurses bustling around. She caught the eye of the nurse nearest her and held up the envelope she was holding. The nurse grinned and pointed toward the other end of the infirmary.

She rounded the corner and gasped. There, on an empty bed, sat a bouquet of pink flowers in a beautiful vase. She picked them up, looking at the vase. It looked like stained glass. As she smelled the flowers, she noticed a small package lying on the bed.

She picked it up and opened it. Inside laid a beautiful silver locket. She picked it up to look. It was engraved with her name, surrounded by vines and flowers. It was absolutely stunning.

She opened it, and to her surprise, it started playing a melody. She recognized it instantly as "Beautiful Dreamer". How could he have known that it was her favorite? At the bottom of the box laid another envelope.

Dear Danielle,

I hope you like the locket. It took me awhile to get it from Earth. I heard down the grapevine that this is your favorite song. It reminds me of you, always dreaming. I hope to see you soon.

All my love,

Your Secret Admirer

She was almost in tears by now. Now she knew that this couldn't be some kind of joke. It'd taken a lot of time and probably a pretty penny to get this locket. She took in a shaky breath. After putting on the locket and picking up the vase, she sat off to find her friends.

He watched as she opened the gift. He let out a breath he hadn't even noticed that he'd been holding when he saw the look on her face. She loved it.

He watched her face as she read the note. Apparently he'd written the right things, she was almost in tears by this point. When he saw this he knew that he couldn't keep up the charade much longer. He wanted her to know who'd given her the locket, and who'd come to like her very much. He needed to know if she'd like him once she knew who he really was. He needed to know.
