A/N: Sorry, this is even later then the last two, I'm getting writers blocks on this story while writing three others which are going smoothly. So I'll try to write more on this, at least this is longer then the last chapter.

CHAPTER SEVEN: MULDER, SCULLY AND CALDWELL

McKay stared at the Parallel Universe Machine. "Zelenka claimed this was working properly? I think not!"

Weir looked worried. "Why not? Will it still have sent Scully, Sheppard and Mulder to the right universe?

McKay brushed off this comment. "Yes, of course. Last time Zelenka and I jammed it up so it would, you need both of our codes to change that. It's still not fixed."

"Why?" asked Weir, annoyed.

"Because it won't even recognise Mills's remote thing we used last time, which we might need considering Sheppard hasn't been able to find his way back here yet," McKay informed her. "We're not even sure that you can control the Starplate properly without it."

"Doesn't that remote thing use up a lot of power to work?" asked Weir.

"No, not a LOT of power, yes it uses a lot more power then I originally expected it to, the first time we used it we had to blow up a scanner to get it to work, but that time we'd already jumped through a few different universes. I told you, our Parallel Universe Machine can only connect with their Starplate and visa versa, so it won't need that much power," McKay explained. "But at the moment it wouldn't work if we had a spare ZPM to power it. It needs the Parallel Universe Machine to recognise it."

"Okay," replied Weir. "Can you fix it?"

McKay snorted. "Of course I can fix it! I'll need to ask Zelenka for both the readings he took from it before his science team spilt coffee on it, and directly after."

"Right, well work on it, we still have wraith hanging about. I've requested the Puddle Jumper from the SGC and I'd like Colonel Sheppard to fly it," Weir told him.

McKay just nodded and jogged off.

Mulder stormed past AD Skinner and over to Sheppard's cell. "What did you do?!"

"Huh?" questioned Sheppard as Mulder let himself into the cell. "Oh, hi."

"Who are you and what did you do?" demanded Mulder.

"Is that a trick questioned?" asked Sheppard. "Because I'm pretty sure I told you my name and I don't think I did anything particular to annoy you."

"I knew it!" yelled Mulder and before Sheppard could react Mulder slammed him against a wall. "It was YOU!"

"Ow!" protested Sheppard. "What was me?"

"You erased my memories! How do I get them back?! Tell me!" Mulder hit him across the face.

"Hey!" complained Sheppard. "Scully's already hit me once!"

"What did I find out?!" asked Mulder.

"What d'you mean?" inquired Sheppard.

"What did I know that was so important you had to erase my memories of it?!" demanded Mulder.

Sheppard was starting to get annoyed, he didn't like being pinned against a wall. "I've no idea! You weren't meant to have your memories erased!"

Mulder glared at him. "I don't believe you!"

Sheppard rolled his eyes. "Of course you don't. Mills wasn't meant to erase your memories, and he should've known that. He probably handed the Parallel Universe Machine over to SGA-13."

"The what?" asked Mulder.

"Mulder, what are you doing?" asked Scully.

"He's pinning me against a wall for some reason or other," Sheppard told her, noticing he and Skinner standing outside the cell.

"I can see that," replied Scully. "Mulder let him go."

Mulder stepped back from Sheppard and turned to face Scully and Skinner. "He…"

"I know you think he erased your memories," Scully interrupted. "Skinner told me."

"Do you remember?" asked Mulder. "Do you know what happened?"

"No," lied Scully. "I don't remember."

Sheppard snorted, Skinner turned to look at him.

"What?" asked Skinner.

"Oh nothing, Caldwell," Sheppard replied.

Skinner scowled.

"Caldwell?" asked Mulder in confusion.

"Yeah," said Skinner. "He keeps calling me that, I don't know why. He also claims not to know where you and Scully went."

"That would be because I don't," Sheppard put in helpfully. Scully shot him an annoyed look.

"He's lying!" Mulder told Skinner. 'You said he and Scully just appeared."

"They did," answered Skinner wearily.

"So he should know!" complained Mulder.

"Nope," countered Sheppard. "But I did arrive here at the same time as Scully and she doesn't remember either.

"Where did you get that bruise on your face?" asked Mulder, hoping to throw Sheppard off balance and accidentally admit that he did remember. "It looks like you've been punched."

"Err…" answered Sheppard.

"Um…" added Scully.

Mulder look expectant.

"I don't remember," Sheppard told him.

Scully sighed and Mulder rolled his eyes.

"You keep claiming you don't remember," Skinner said irritably. "But you knew who Mulder was and you expected him to know who you are."

"Oh shut up Caldwell," muttered Sheppard.

A/N: Okay, that was chapter seven, please R&R, I do except anonymous reviews.
