Author's Note: I don't own Stargate. This chapter is to follow up the movie and transition the story into the TV series, enjoy.

Chapter Five

In the gate room the blue watery reflection of the activated gate rippled off the sandy walls of the chamber deep within the pyramid.

"I always knew you'd get us back." Feretti clapped Daniel on the back. He probably didn't mean to hit him that hard, but never the less Daniel stumbled forwards.

Daniel laughed in the way he only did with friends, so much had changed these last days. "Yeah right." he joked.

So much had changed. Jack had insisted that I put on all my gear so I'd be ready to go through the gate. I stood apart from the goodbyes on the steps to the gate, my eyes traveling back and forth between the gate home, and a certain dark haired boy who stood far back in the chamber trying not to meet my gaze as I left for my home. Maybe home wasn't where I thought it was anymore.

"Thanks Daniel." Kawalsky said cheery as he walked past Daniel on his way up to the gate.

Daniel wrapped his arm around Sha're who leaned her head on his shoulder. Already in native clothing, it was clear what Daniel was going to do.

Jack was heading up the steps to the gate and stopped pivoting on one foot to face Daniel, "You sure you wanna do this?"

A smile tugged on Daniel lips and he glanced down at the woman in his arms. Looking back up at Jack he answered, "Yeah Jack, I'm sure."

"You gonna be alright?" Jack asked for the umpteenth time.

"I'm gonna be alright. How bout you?" Daniel's question had more than one meaning.

"Yeah," Jack took a deep breath looking around the chamber, "yeah I think so." He turned back to the gate, admiring the wavy blue surface for a moment. "Okay, let go home."

It sounded so final to me. My heart was pounding and I couldn't breath as I looked up at the gate. My hands were shaking, I looked around the room for a way out, which at any other moment would seem ridiculous.

In my frantic search Daniel caught my gaze. He didn't say anything as we looked at each other. After all the years we've known each other he could tell what I was thinking. With a slight nod of his head he gave me permission to do what I needed to. That was all I needed.

I rushed down the steps and threw myself into the crowd around the gate. They parted like a sea to let me through. I ran until I found my target, and there he stood with shock written all over his face.

"What are you..." he started but he never finished. This time I was the one who cut him off.

I had to stand on my tip toes to throw my arms around his neck as I crushed my lips to his. I would have fallen back if he hadn't wrapped his arms around me. After a few minutes we had to stop for a moment to breath. Skaara leaned his forehead against mine grinning wide. He leaned down and kissed me, I could feel him smiling against my lips as he picked me up and twirled my around in a circle.

Whoops and hollers echoed off the walls. The loudest of all was Nebeth. Back towards the gate Jack mumbled something that sounded like, "I had a feeling."

Skaara and I broke apart and ran towards the gate to stand next to Daniel and Sha're.

"So, I guess you'll be staying to?" Jack laughed down at us.

"Yes." I said smiling up at Skaara.

Our team started to go through the gate, Feretti and Kawalsky waving goodbye just before stepping through the vent horizon.

Jack was the last yet to go, "I'll be seeing you around." He said smiling at us before stepping backwards through the gate.

-Two Years Later-

I sat on Skaara's lap at our evening meal. He held me tight against his chest so I wouldn't fall off as I laughed till my sides hurt. Nebeth, who I had been trying to teach English for the past year, had tried to ask for a bowl of water and instead asked for a "Rowing river."

Skaara, who had become fluent in English quite quickly laughed beside me.

Suddenly Daniel came running in out of breath. In his hands he carried a box of some sort.

"What is wrong Dan'yell?" Skaara asked tightening his arms around me.

Daniel held the box up, for us to see.

"A tissue box?" I scrunched my brows as I looked at the earth object, I wonder where Daniel had found that.

"No." Daniel shook his head, still out of breath and capable of only one word answers.

"Yes." I insisted.

"No."

"Yes." I took the box from him.

"No,a message from Jack."" Daniel turned it over. Black writing covered one side.

'We're coming back.'

Author's note: From here I will be picking it up with the TV series. I wont do very episode, all ten seasons is enough to blow my mind, but I will do ones that I think my OC would be able to fit into. I'll be sticking pretty close to the original story, with some changes. Stay tuned. :)
