I want to apologize for the stage direction in the last two chapters. I didn't realize fanfiction was getting rid of the parentheses for the stage direction that happens within a line.

I want to thank mabpagan for a wonderful review. Thanks!! It was a great help.

ACT TWO

FADE IN:

INT. COMMISARY

The cafeteria is full of people all happily eating their food. Linz and Davenport are eating with a couple of other soldiers and chatting with them. Davenport is obviously having a better time than Linz but even she is enjoying this little break from work. The others get up, leaving Linz and Davenport sitting across from each other finishing their blue jello.

DAVENPORT

Did you hear about McCalister?

(Linz shakes her head 'no')

DAVENPORT(cont'd)

says almost in a whisper, and looks around him suspiciously to see if anyone's listening

Supposedly, Landry found him making out with his daughter and went ballistic. God, what I'd give to see Landry go off.

LINZ

Davenport, that's not true at all.

DAVENPORT

saddened that this exciting story didn't happen

Really?

LINZ

McCalister's been sick for three weeks and Landry decided to give him some leave time.

DAVENPORT

Oh.

(Beat.)

DAVENPORT(cont'd)

Well, lucky him. Tracy and I have been itching for some leave time. She really wants me to meet her family. Tell you the truth; I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

LINZ

Uncomfortable with the topic

Oh

DAVENPORT

Yeah, but you gotta do it for the girlfriend, you know.

(Davenport gives Linz a friendly shove on the shoulder and chuckles.)

LINZ

So what else have you been doing since you got back to Earth?

DAVENPORT

Oh nothing much. Just getting to know all of the people on the stargate teams. I didn't know there were so many, but with all the new planets to explore. Speaking of which, are you excited for our second SGC mission?

LINZ

Sure (she picks at her jello)

DAVENPORT

Sure? You practically begged Landry to let you go on this mission. Can you imagine an alternate universe? What do you think it'll be like? What if everything's crazy there? (Davenport becomes more uncomfortable with the idea of an alternate universe with each question)

LINZ

Davenport (trying to get his attention)

DAVENPORT

What if we get lost and never find our way back? What if there's nothing to eat?!

LINZ

Davenport

DAVENPORT

What if I never see Tracy again? What if we all die?!

(Silence. The Commissary has gone quiet and everyone is looking at Davenport.)

DAVENPORT(cont'd)

Sorry, I'm just a little excited.

LINZ

stands up and leaves

Come on we should go get ready.

DAVENPORT

runs after her

What do you think'll be on the other side?

LINZ

I don't know Davenport. All I know is whatever it is we can face it.

INT. PUDDLE JUMPER

The jumper is sitting in front of the 'purple' gate waiting to go through. McKay is sitting in the front left of the jumper. Linz is on the right. Davenport behind her and a MARK, a marine, behind McKay. Linz, as usual looks extremely annoyed to be in another jumper with McKay and doing her best to let him know. Davenport and the marine are having a conversation about the best food to eat while watching a football game.

McKAY

Is everyone ready to go?

DAVENPORT

to Mark

No, come on Mark. Chips? That's really what you think are the best?

(Mark scoffs.)

McKAY

Enunciating so they will notice him

Are you ready?

LINZ

mocking his enunciation

No, they're not.

MARK

Davenport, you're crazy if you think apples are the best food for watching games. Apples? It's like you're in kindergarten or something.

McKAY

God, I don't want to know. (louder) Ok we're going and I don't care what your stomachs say.

(The jumper goes through the gate)

EXT. FIELD - DAY

The jumper exits the stargate and hovers above the field the stargate is located in. It is a temperate planet, with lots of pine trees. It is a semi-cloudy day but with the sunlight a village can be seen about thirty miles away.

McKAY

Ah, there it is, just like the MALP said it would be.

MARK

responding to Davenport who had just said something

No, apple slices with peanut butter are not any better. Can't you think of any junk food you would want to eat.

DAVENPORT

Junk food, Na! Tracy and I decided we would go all natural. She and I are become vegan.

(Linz chuckles)

DAVENPORT(cont'd)

Yeah! That's right. You don't think I can do it, Jane?

(Linz shakes her head 'no')

DAVENPORT(cont'd)

How much you wanna bet? How about my lunch duty all next week?

LINZ

You've got yourself a bet, Captain.

McKAY

Oh, wonderful. Just wonderful. They look absolutely primitive. God, I'm not in the mood for this today.

(McKAY lands the jumper and opens the rear hatch.)

McKAY

Ok, this isn't going to be fancy. Just stay in a group and I'll do all of the talking. Though I'm sure even Davenport wouldn't have trouble with these people.

(All four exit the jumper)

EXT. Middle Ages Village

The buildings of the town are all two story stuccos. They all look very old and dirty. The people of the town are moving about but then notice the group coming towards them. One VILLAGER approaches them.

VILLAGER

We are sorry. We cannot find any more dependants. I don't know if we will be able to make the quota (the villager looks on the verge of tears.)

McKAY

'Dependants'? Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know what you're talking about. Just calm down. Is there any village leader I could talk with?

VILLAGER

Yes, yes. Let me get him!

(The Villager exits shot.)

LINZ

They seem a little on edge.

DAVENPORT

Maybe they've never seen anyone like us before.

McKAY

No, that can't be. That villager expected someone like us to come through the gate and ask for something. What was it again?

MARK

A 'Dependant'. I don't like the sound of that doctor. Something just feels off.

(A tall well groomed man, MALO, walks up to the group, but doesn't look at them because he's reading a datapad.)

MALO

I'm sorry but we can't make the quota this week. We've scanned the entire population but can't seem to find anymore (finally looks up and stops talking because he does not recognize them.)

(Davenport smiles and reaches out his hand to shake Malo's. McKay swats it away before Malo notices it.)

McKAY

Hello, I'm Dr. McKay, this is Major Linz, Captain Davenport, and Captain Walker. We are an exploration team from the planet Earth.

MALO

Oh, I'm Malo Lastus. I'm in charge of this settlement. However, I have no time for you, if you do not have any dependants to offer me.

LINZ

What are you talking about?

(Before Malo can answer there is a commotion behind the group. They turn and see MAJOR TRACY ANDREWS approaching.)

DAVENPORT

softly under his breath

Tracy?

MAJOR TRACY ANDREWS is the alternate universe version of Dr. Tracy Andrews. She is very forward and pushy. She has been put in charge of collecting quotas for the government. She is dressed rather provocatively, as usual.

MAJOR ANDREWS

Hey Lastus! What excuse you got this week?

(The previously cocky Malo becomes very nervous, scared of what might happen when Andrews finds out he can't make the quota.)

MALO

Major, I don't know what to do. There isn't anyone left in this settlement, it's just been running for too long. I was hoping these people may have some for me however.

(Andrews and Malo turn to the group expecting some sort of response. But once Andrews sees Davenport she turns to him)

MAJOR ANDREWS

Isaac, what are you doing here?! Shouldn't you be back at the base?

DAVENPORT

Uh? What do you mean? What are you doing here?

McKAY

I think there has been some kind of misunderstanding. We are not from around here and we definitely have no idea what any of you are talking about.

MAJOR ANDREWS

still speaking to Davenport

Isaac, what do you think you're doing and who are these people?

DAVENPORT

Tracy, I should be asking you the same question!

LINZ

trying to get Andrews's attention

We are from an alternate universe. I'm guessing you are confusing your own Isaac Davenport with ours. We also have our own Tracy Andrews.

MAJOR ANDREWS

Excuse me?

McKAY

annoyed Linz would just blurt it out like that

We've found a stargate that connects these two alternate universe. At least we think it's only these two. Wow, I should really research that when…

LINZ

McKay!

McKAY

Yes, well, anyways we would love to speak with your leader.

MAJOR ANDREWS

eyes them warily

Alright, I'll see what I can do but he's normally very busy.

McKAY

annoyed that she would think they were not important

Thanks.

(Andrews backs away from the group to communicate with her leader to see if he will meet with McKay and the others.)

MARK

That was weird

DAVENPORT

You're telling me. Imagine seeing your girlfriend wear something like that.

LINZ

Really not the point, Captain.

(Andrews returns to the group.)

MAJOR ANDREWS

The commander has agreed to see you, but not today. He's too busy. However, he would like to meet with you tomorrow and says you should not be afraid to bring as large a group as you want. He really wants to meet all of you.

(Andrews chuckles lightly, tosses a sheet of paper with the gate address for the meeting to McKay and exits.)

DAVENPORT

Well, this'll be fun.

(Linz rolls her eyes but follows after Davenport as they all start to walk back the Jumper to return to the SGC.)

FADE OUT
