YAY! CHAPTER...Something...I don't remember...

It had been several days since SG-1s hasty return to base and Daniel was piled with more work then before he left.

He sighed, dropped his glasses on the picture he was looking and rubbed his face. He thought about seeing if Anna could take some of the load, but when she saw him she ran the other direction.

Literally, he'd never seen someone sprint away from him. It was like he was the Goa'uld Apophis himself. At one point he turned around just to see if there was something behind him. There wasn't, she was just running away from him.

He brought it up to Jack, who said he was overreacting until he actually witness, her sharp turn of re-direction away from them. He told him he would talk to her.

He picked up the paper and tossed it back into the every growing pile. He couldn't take much more drama, even if he might be slightly the cause.

Jack walked in abruptly, "Daniel!"

"What?" He let out exasperatedly.

"It's not your fault to the degree of truth, she just doesn't want to face you for the moment, and she didn't want to rain on your parade." He turned quickly to leave, "At least that's what she told me to tell you."

"What? Jack wait!" Daniel stood up, "I don't understand, what does that mean?"

Jack sighed and turned around, "I can't really explain everything because she refused to talk to me about what happened. What she did say was, she knew what she was doing even before you all left the base. Don't ask what it does I can't explain it, if you want to know ask her."

"But she doesn't want to see me." Daniel stated.

"Key words, 'for the moment' Danny boy." He started to walk out.

"So there's a right moment to ask?" Daniel shouted, Jack just shrugged and left him alone, "I don't believe this, WHY!"

He sat down defeated and frustrated.

"The right moment…the degree of truth?" He turned in the swivel chair to his library.

Soon after reaching his moment he was searching for Anna. Everyone he asked had no idea and it was by pure chance that he caught a glimpse of her in the training room.

"'An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.'" He stopped behind her, "What does Henri Fredric Amiel have to do with any of this?"

She stopped in mid swing to the punching bag and dropped her arm to her side, "My error could be more dangerous to myself, then just me finding out the truth."

"Your error, you mean you touching the device?" Daniel stared at her.

"Yes, now if you'll excuse me, I have work to attend to." She turned to leave with out looking at him.

"You can't do that! You can't just keep leaving me to reach out for answers when I don't know what I'm doing." Daniel stood in her path forcing her to stop, "You have to give me something! You can't just be angry at me, without letting me know what I did wrong! Especially when I want to fix that problem, whatever it is."

She stared at the floor, "I saw you…"

"What?" This was not the answer he was expecting.

She looked up him, "Daniel I saw you. I saw you when you first went to Abydos, when you first saw your wife."

His eyes widened as she continued, "I saw you lose her." She swallowed hard, "God Daniel I saw every bad thing that happened to you. I witnessed your deaths…"

She paused, "And it replayed over and over again and again. I even thought I could help you. I stood in front of the staff blast and nothing happened except me getting closer to your face and seeing the pain flash in your eyes then slowly they faded dim." She could feel her tears forming in her eyes, "Then when you tried to save those people and they…oh God Daniel…I'm so sorry…" She brought her hands to her face hiding the tears.

"That device…showed you all that." Daniel stood still unable to consume all this information at once.

"I'm sorry." Was all she said to him.

"You keep saying that!" She looked up at him, "Why? What are you sorry for?"

"I'm sorry that you went through that and that I saw it all without your permission. It's not fair!" She shouted letting her tears slide down her face.

He looked down at her. He was never one to share much of how he felt on certain topics and now she knew everyone of those topics. Not just that, but she saw everything.

He hugged he gently, "It's not your fault you didn't know what was going to happen."

"I did." She sniffed, "I knew before we went to the planet, that's why I was reluctant to go. I didn't want to 'rain on your parade' so to speak."

"That's what Jack told me, but you couldn't have known exactly what you were going to see." Daniel brushed the hair from her face, "I don't blame you for using the device, I blame you for not telling me about it. I blame you for nearly killing yourself and not warning any of us."

She mustard up a small smile, "You're too nice for your own good."

"And you're too hard on yourself. You take things too personally." He let her go, "I'm sorry that was rude of me."

She frowned and stood back from and held out her hand, "Hi, I'm Anna Anderson, I'm a new translator for the SGC."

He smiled catching on and took her hand, "Dr. Daniel Jackson, anthropologist, call me Daniel."

"It's nice to meet you, Daniel." She smiled, "I think I have some information to tell you about a device."

"How about over coffee and lunch?" Daniel asked.

"That would be wonderful, I'll meet you in the mess hall, I have to go change." She edged her way past him.

"Alright I'll see you in a few." He watched her leave and stood there feeling something he couldn't explain something that was different.

He started back to his office with a smile on his face, "Well someone looks cheerful."

"Sam, how are you?" He looked at his friend.

"I'm good, how are you?" She smiled as they continued down the hall.

"I'm…considerably much better." He smiled.

They stepped into his office, "What brought on this?"

He started picking up a recorder, pencil, and paper, "I think I just befriended Anna."

"Really?" Sam looked at him.

"Is that surprising?" He looked at her.

"Well on a normal basis no, but due to recent events, maybe a little." She pressed her palms against his cluttered desk.

"Yeah, alright." He rolled his eyes.

"Daniel I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. I am happy that you two are finally getting along." She brushed his arm apologetically.

"I know, its just it's been difficult to understand her, while everyone else is getting along with her, I don't know anything." He looked at her.

"What do you mean?" Sam looked at him curiously.

He sighed, "Well, she's like a language that I don't know, and just when I think I might have the key to solve everything, a new symbol shows up and everything changes."

"Sounds like human interaction Daniel." She giggled softly.

"Most people aren't this closed off." He shook his head trying to fathom it.

She smiled and stood up straight, "You'd be surprised Daniel how a simple miscommunication can change your perspective of someone or for a situation for that matter."

"I hope that there won't be anymore miscommunications." He smiled picking up his things, "If you'll excuse me I have a meeting with her right now."

"Oh of course please go." She watched him leave. She felt happy for him, knowing that he had been struggling with how he felt about Anna since she got here.

What she hoped however was, Anna would be just as open and willing as Daniel was feeling right now. Sam knew what Daniel meant when she said Anna was a very closed person.

"I wish you both luck." She mumbled after him.

Okay that's all I got for you right now, but please review and I apologize for not updating sooner!

Astar!
