A/N: Well this is it. Last chapter. Special thanks to a good friend who helped me come up with the whole idea of the Starplate, my twin sister who helped come up with the longer title for this story and has helped with ideas and finally my two most frequent reviewers bailey1ak and The City of Atlantis. Anyhow please enjoy!

CHAPTER TEN: FILE CLOSED

Lt Mills glared at Major Johnson. "Why didn't you stay here?!"

Major Johnson stared back at Mills like he was crazy. "Stay in a tent with McKay?!"

"Yes! You might've been able to help Harris!" complained Mills. "I told you to go to this tent, you were meant to stay here!"

The Parallel Universe Machine started glowing, Mills didn't notice, he had his back to it.

"Hey, lieutenant, you might wanna get away from that," suggested Johnson.

Mills turned around. "What? Why is that glowing?"

He took a couple of steps back from it.

"I dunno," replied Johnson. "I never really figured out how it works."

The tent filled with a blue flash of light.

Sheppard appeared directly infront of Mills, who jumped back in surprise… straight into McKay.

"Ow!" protested the annoyed scientist.

"Mills, Johnson fire at the damn wraith!" ordered Sheppard when they just stood there looking a bit stunned.

At the order they both fired at the wraith, while Harris scrambled off the floor and away from the wraith with his P90. Ronon and the other three members of SGA-13 ran into the tent at the sound of gunfire.

"Hey! There are wraith this time!" observed Newcorn unhelpfully.

"Really? I hadn't noticed!" replied Young sarcastically.

"And there's six, not just two… oh no, just four now," added Powers.

"Well lets make it zero wraith!" broke in Sheppard then ducked behind the Parallel Universe Machine to avoid being eaten.

"Huh? Where did… I mean; yes sir!" stumbled Young.

Trapped in the tent with six armed people the wraith didn't stand much of a chance, soon the tent was littered with dead wraith… and Scully standing in the middle.

"No, I don't see the point," Sheppard told McKay.

"You don't see the pint?" asked McKay

"Pint?" inquired Sheppard, raising an eyebrow at McKay.

"Oh, sorry, I'm hungry I was thinking of food and drink, you know, a pint of beer… anyway, I thought I told why we had to wipe her memories last time?" finished McKay.

"Yes you did," answered Sheppard, giving McKay a funny look. "But we ended up meeting back up with her again anyway."

"I can prevent that from happening," McKay informed Sheppard.

"How? You couldn't last time," Sheppard reminded him.

"Ah but since then I've discovered how to disconnect the power source from the actually machine and once that's disconnected the Parallel Universe Machine can't be used at all," McKay explained.

Sheppard sighed. "I still don't think we should erase her memories."

"Why not?" asked McKay.

"As far as I can tell she's still convinced that there are no aliens in her universe so what's the problem? I know that, in her position, I wouldn't want my memories erased."

"Hmm. Good point, I'll go ask Elizabeth if that's all right." McKay started to leave.

Sheppard raised his eyebrows, surprised at how easily McKay gave in. "You didn't really want to erase her memories anyway, did you?"

McKay thought about it for a moment. "No, not really."

"I thought not. Do you know where Scully is?" asked Sheppard.

"Oh," said McKay. "Yes, she's still in the Parallel Universe Machine's tent with SGA-8."

Sheppard smiled. "Oh good. I was afraid Mills had left her with SGA-13."

McKay sniggered. "No, Mills has more sense. SGA-13 are back on guard duty, even though Teyla says there are no more wraith."

"Thanks," replied Sheppard and walked back into the Parallel Universe Machine's tent.

Beckett came running over to him and started inspecting the bruise on Sheppard's face where Scully punched him.

"You too?! Good lord what have you been up to!" Beckett demanded.

"I'd avoid it if I could doc," Sheppard told him and then side-stepped Beckett and was surprised to see all four of Mills's team present. He'd thought Dr Frederick Tatum had stayed as the SGC when they'd come to Earth.

"Hey guys," Sheppard greeted them.

"Hi Colonel," replied Tatum, before continuing to work on the Parallel Universe Machine.

"Hi sir," chorused Mills, Harris and West.

Scully looked annoyed. "When are you sending me back?"

"AS soon as Elizabeth tells me I can," Sheppard informed her.

Scully groaned. "Can't you military people think for yourselves?"

Sheppard grinned. "We can, but it's difficult. Isn't that right Mills?"

Mills held back from grinning himself and said seriously, "Yes sir. Much easier to let someone else think for us."

Scully rolled her eyes while Sergeant West started sniggering.

Scully turned to Beckett. "How do you put up with this?"

"I've asked myself the same question too many times," Beckett told her. "Half of the time they're injured they won't even come to the infirmary."

Beckett looked pointedly at Sheppard, who noticed.

"What?" asked Sheppard.

"Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. You're the worst! You won't even stay for the full time after I've managed to get you to the infirmary!" complained Beckett.

Sheppard thought about it for a moment. "You have a point there. Though I think Ronon's worse."

Scully opened her eyes wide in mock surprise. "Oh! You do think!"

Mills snorted and he and Harris joined West sniggering as Sheppard turned to Scully, a smirk creeping across his face.

"I told you, I do occasionally."

Scully gave him a look. "Are you going to send me home now?"

Weir walked into the tent behind Scully, Sheppard saw her.

"Ask her." Sheppard pointed at Weir.

Scully turned to find Weir behind her.

"Well?" asked Scully.

"Well what?" asked Weir, confused.

"She just came in," Harris told Scully.

"Oh," said Scully.

"She wants to know when we'll send her back," Sheppard told Weir.

"Right now if she wants," replied Weir.

Sheppard raised an eyebrow, pleased Weir didn't have the Asgard memory-erasing machine.

Scully looked relived. "Thank God!"

She stood infront of the Parallel Universe Machine. Tatum leaned over and pressed the button, finally sending Scully home.

McKay entered the tent. "Ah, you've sent her home. Shall we go back to Atlantis then?"

Beckett nodded. "Aye we should. Then everyone with so much as what they would like to call a scratch needs to come down to the infirmary!"

Weir raised an eyebrow at Sheppard, who had Beckett glaring at him.

"Fine, I'll go," Sheppard gave in.

Beckett looked pleased.

Weir turned on her radio. "Lorne, get that Puddle Jumper down here. We're ready to go back to Atlantis."

A/N: I guess I'm gonna miss this, but that's it, the Starplate File is now closed.
