A/N: This is the last chapter of The Starplate Files… its my longest story so far. Sorry it took me so long to post, I just bought season 1 on dvd and have been watching lots of episodes, I watched Hide and Seek yesterday. :)

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE ENDING

McKay searched irritatedly to find Scully, he knew they shouldn't have just let her wander around. He'd already checked the spare quarters Scully had been given, as well as the mess hall and he's come from the infirmary after telling Sheppard their plan of wiping Scully's memories.

He decided to check their T.V room.

McKay walked down the corridor towards the room and stopped at the door, noticing Scully on the couch. McKay started to call out to her… then noticed what she was watching.

McKay crossed the room and turned off the T.V. Why didn't Weir ever listen to him? He'd known the FBI agent would do something she shouldn't. Time for a lecture.

"What did you think you were doing? I mean, come on, there I was, slaving away trying to get you home and you're snooping around!" complained McKay.

"I…" started Scully.

"Oh, don't you even try! I've been working day and night, but you just had to snoop around things you shouldn't! Day and night I was working and you didn't even offer help!" Not that he would've either wanted or accepted it but McKay hadn't got any sleep that night and he just wanted to yell at someone and Scully had created the perfect opportunity.

"But…"

"You know what? I don't care. I don't want to hear your petty excuses. Come with me, I've just fixed the machine and we're sending you home."

McKay all but dragged Scully off the couch and out of the room.

Mulder fought the ropes to get the gun he kept strapped to his leg for emergencies, but he just couldn't reach it. He was getting frustrated. There was still no sign of Scully and he was hungry, it was coming up on twenty four hours since he'd eaten anything.

He guessed the conspirators had left him to stave after taking Scully up to their spaceship.

Not very far away the 'conspirators' were busy fighting over what was left of their emergency rations.

"I'm the team leader, therefore I should get the last power-bar," announced Mills, holding onto one side of the last power-bar.

"No, you shouldn't, being a leader doesn't give you rights to food," replied West, holding onto the other side of the last power-bar.

"If you two are gonna fight over it, I'll have it," suggested Harris.

Teyla and Ronon exchanged a glance. Ronon walked up to Mills and West, snatched the power-bar right out of their hands and gave it to Teyla, who ate it.

"Damn!" complained Mills, who was hungry.

Harris snorted in amusement at him.

Scully found herself lad to a room filled with box-like green-grey spaceships and sighed; she'd thought she wouldn't have to see (or go in) any more spaceships. Scully also thought McKay had over reacted to her watching the tapes, he looked tired and grumpy. McKay walked off.

Weir walked into the room, talking on her radio.

"No, Colonel. Of course you can't go, you have to stay in the infirmary."

"I could use a wheelchair. Seriously, I just wanna go somewhere, I'm bored!"

"You staying in the infirmary, And that's final. Weir out."

Scully was amused, it sounded like Sheppard wanted out of the infirmary. Weir walked up to her.

"Ah, you're here. Now, we've decided that we're going to send you back in one of these ships with a team of our people. This is partly incase you somehow end up in the wrong universe, my people can take the Remote Machine and get you back here, and mostly because there is still some of my people in your universe who possibly might be having trouble with wraith," explained Weir.

"Alright," agreed Scully, deciding that another trip in a spaceship was worth getting back to her universe, maybe then she could forget that anything unusual had ever happened.

Weir led her to a ship that was parked next to the Parallel Universe Machine and she walked up the ramp.

Scully barely had enough time to take in the interior of the ship before McKay pointed a blue, strange looking handheld devise at her and pressed a button, Scully lost consciousness.

Mills was hungry and bored.

"We should have been sent back by now," he announced.

"No shit," grumbled Harris, his usual happy nature was evaporating.

"I am sure Dr McKay will think of a way to get us home," said Teyla reassuringly.

"Are you?" asked Ronon doubtfully.

"I am… mostly sure," answered Teyla.

"Well I'm not," replied Ronon.

"I'm quite insulted by that, as I told Scully, I've been working day and night to get that Parallel Universe Machine working again." McKay stepped out of mid air, followed by Major Lorne.

"Wha…?" started Mills, then sighed. "I usually notice the Jumper landing."

"Lorne purposely landed extra quietly," replied McKay sarcastically, then turned back to the Jumper. "It's the right universe, bring her out."

Two more members of Lorne's team came out carrying Scully.

"She's just unconscious," Lorne answered the inevitable question. "We erased her memories."

"Okay," shrugged Mills. "She should be fine here, her partner isn't very far away. Nut before we go there are still two wraith darts in space we should probably drone them."

"Whatever," said McKay. "But then we're going back home. Where I can finish this adventure with a well deserved coffee."

Mulder watched in amazement as Scully staggered into view.

"SCULLY! Are you alright?"

"Huh? What? Oh, hi Mulder." Scully paused. "Have I been drinking?"

Mulder frowned. "Why?"

"I have a headache." Scully staggered again.

"You were abducted by aliens!" announced Mulder. "The conspirators were right here!"

"I was what now? Sure Mulder sure. I think you've been drinking. Where are the conspirators now?" demanded Scully.

"They ran off!" replied Mulder. "They were afraid of the truth!"

"Uh huh."

"They were!" Mulder insisted. "See, they tied me up! You saw them!"

"Uh huh. Of course they did Mulder. Maybe we should both lay off the alcohol next time…."

Scully collapsed in a heap. Mulder had no way of knowing that Scully had collapsed because of harmless after effects of the memory wiping and struggled against the ropes again, partly out of concern for Scully, partly because he was annoyed that she hadn't untied him.

A/N: Wow, I still can't believe that I've finally finished this! Thanks to all the great people who did lots of reviewing! Oh, and I have an idea forming for a sequel to this so let me know if you think I should go ahead with it. :)
