Author's Note: Sorry about the double post. I'll just continue it here. Thanks to Firestarter310, Natters and Shannon S. who reviewed...albeit on different posts! I won't threaten to not post until I get more reviews...although I would love more reviews.... Anyway, on with the story! Oh, and I think I might just continue with Sam's POV.
Sam's POV
Of all the times I've arrived through the 'gate on Earth, this one must have been the weirdest and probably the hardest to explain. Lucky me. We arrived through the wormhole just before it disengaged, and General Hammond was waiting for us at the bottom of the ramp.
"Welcome back, SG-1...Teal'c, Dr. Jackson, where are Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill? Who are these...people?" he asked, obviously confused. Rightfully so, I might add.
"Uh...Sir...we are Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill," he was staring at us like we were mental, "Though, I can see why you'd think we weren't..."
I was starting to get restless and uncomfortable. Being under this much scrutiny was unbearable. Everyone in the gate room and the control room were staring at us. The entire room was so silent, you could have heard a pin drop.
"General, we know how this happened...well, okay, not really. We just know what device caused it. We brought it back so Daniel and Janet could take a better look at it, maybe figure something out." I said, hoping he would just let us go to the infirmary, away from the staring employees.
"Dr. Jackson, are you sure of their identities? For all we know, they could be goa'uld." The General said.
"We know they aren't. They were the only two that passed out. We saw, nothing happened in the way of body swapping, Asgard beams..." Jack elbowed him, "point is, they are Jack O'Neill and Sam Carter."
"Aright, if you're sure. Escort them down to the infirmary to get checked out. You and Teal'c as well."
With that said, we were on our way. Janet might understand this better than the general...but this time, Daniel really is explaining it. I don't want to do it again. As we all know, Daniel has a penchant for rambling. So he might try to use it to get us to explain. Must tell Jack not to interfere. We reached the door to the infirmary a few minutes later.
"You two go ahead and tell her we'll be right in. I just need to speak with Colonel O'Neill for a minute." I pulled him aside by his arm.
As soon as Daniel and Teal'c were out of earshot, I told him what I thought might happen.
"Sir, I think Daniel might use his penchant for rambling as a way to get us to explain our...ah...predicament. I want to make him suffer, albeit slightly, but I want to make him explain it. Don't interfere if he starts to ramble. I know it'll be hard, but for the sake of slight revenge..."
"And you said Daniel has the penchant for rambling? Well, okay. I'll try to restrain myself." He said as we walked through the door.
As we walked, we once again got many stares. I got fed up, and lost my temper.
"We are not some damn sideshow exhibits! STOP STARING AT US!" I yelled.
They all stopped, including my teammates, and gaped at me. I just looked around for an empty bed and sat down. It wasn't my problem, so why should I feel guilty? I didn't care that I had just earned myself a reputation of being insane. I already felt that way.
"Uh...Carter? You think you can tone it down on the sudden outbursts? I think I just went partially deaf."
I snickered. I never knew I was that loud. New record for me! You may think I am now gaining the personality of a child, but who cares? If you look like one, why not act like one? I mean, Jack acts like one sometimes even when he's an adult.
"Sure...I'll make sure to give you a signal next time." I replied, feeling that it would defeat the purpose of "sudden outburst" if I gave a warning.
Oh, well.
Janet came in with all her instruments on a tray and stopped. Well, I guess she spotted us. I'm surprised she didn't faint, I mean, I did and I'm...me? Okay, that doesn't work. Apparently it's just because she's a medical doctor and she's used to weird looking patients. Oh, well.
"And you would be...?" she asked
"We are Jack O'Neill and Sam Carter. And yes, I know we don't look like them. Daniel, this is the part where you start explaining." I said
"Right. Well, we were on P98X-471 looking for technology belonging to the Ancients, and apparently they picked up a cube and...that happened. They were the only ones that passed out. No goa'uld's, no Asgard beams...nothing of the sort. They just...changed."
Ha ha! Good explanation, Daniel. I don't think that'll help her much. Oh, and you forgot to mention the cube is being put in your office.
"What happened to the cube?" Janet asked
At least someone remembered to say that. Go Janet! Daniel, you need to think less about my best friend, and think more about your job. I resisted the urge to once again snicker.
"Ah...it's in my office, awaiting tests. I saw some writings on it, so I might be able to translate them within the next few days," Daniel said.
"Oh, do you mind if I take a look at it when we're finished here? I'd like to see if I can't find something. Though I don't know how much help I'll be considering I can't translate anything..." Janet responded.
Should I tell her I don't think they'd get much work done if they were in Daniel's office alone? Nah, I'll let her find out on her own. Not that she'd mind, I mean, she does have a soft spot for the archaeologist. Besides, at least someone around here will have a shot at a relationship. I'm sounding jealous, aren't I? Whoops.
It was during my exam that I noticed something. My mouth felt fuller than before. Then it hit me, if I was back to being a teenager, I was back to having braces. Curse whoever thought of that stupid device! Honestly, I doubt it'll help us fight the goa'uld, so what's the point in it? You know, if something doesn't change soon, I think I might threaten to leave this dang place.
No, that's not true, I won't leave. I love it too much, despite the annoying circumstances I find myself in currently.
"Alright, Sam. You check out okay, so you're free to go. But if you have any problems, come back and see me, okay?" I nodded, "Alright, now if you'll excuse me, I need to go meet Daniel." She winked and left the room.
Get ready, Daniel...when she wants you, she gets you. I can sort of see why she likes him. I mean he's in the infirmary enough for her to get to know him. Maybe they'll be kind enough to let me be maid of honor, and Jack be best man. We'd be a couple! Well, for the wedding, anyway. Maybe godparents? Oh-kay...getting ahead of myself here.
I was just walking around the corridors lost in my own world when I left the infirmary that I didn't notice I was about to smack into someone. As I was falling over, someone caught me by the arms and pulled me back up. I looked up into the face of the person that caught me. I expected it to be an SF, but it wasn't. It was Jack. Well, this is awkward. Whoever said that being in the arms of the man you loved was bliss lied.
Did anyone ever actually say that? Who cares? It would have been better if it wasn't in the middle of the hallway, with everyone watching. He let me go when he was certain I wouldn't fall back down again. I was tempted to, just so he would put his arms around me. Stupid conscience! It told me not to, so I didn't. Who actually listens to their conscience? Apparently, I do. Bugger.
"You alright? You look a little...spacey." Jack said to me.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. I was just thinking, Sir." I replied.
"I'd be surprised if you ever stopped," he smiled slightly (A/N: Yes, I know it's been said in an episode...I just felt like using it!)
"I wonder what would happen if I ever stopped?" I wondered aloud
"I think the world just might stop turning."
Cheeky grin. So cute. No! I can't think that about my CO, even if it is just in my brain! I resisted the urge to slap myself physically, so I settled for a mental one instead. I don't want people thinking I'm even more mental that they already do. I mean there was that whole Orlin thing. Actually, that was resolved later. ACK! Anyway...I smiled back.
"I don't know if something that drastic would happen. Maybe the world would just slow a bit."
Cute, Carter. Real cute. I swear, if the sexual tension got any thicker you could blow through it with a staff weapon. Where's Teal'c when you need him? Of course, nowhere to be found. Damn it all! So we were just standing there...in the middle of the hallway.
"So..." "So...do you want to get something to eat? I don't think I've had anything since before our last mission." I said
"Sure. It looks like you could use some food in you, anyway. How'd you live being that skinny?" he asked
Wrong thing to say. Well, to most women, anyway. I didn't really care. Just because he didn't say I'm fat, doesn't mean some people won't take it as an insult. I just thought I'd make him suffer. I decided not to because I like him too much. That and he'd probably bring me up on insubordination charges if I did.
"Who knows? I don't even remember much about being this age. Or at least I tried not to." I said, making a reference to my mother's death.
I think he realized, because he didn't ask any other questions.
"Ah...so, mess hall?" he asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yes, Sir." I said as I followed him to the mess.
When we got there, we got our food and found a table. We just had to make sure we got the most important food item. Cake. We never actually got to have that cake together last year. Stupid goa'uld and their bad timing. I would have gone after Anubis myself if the 'gate hadn't been about to blow up.
Do they purposely do this? I mean, do they know when I'm about to have some fun and just ruin it by making their presence known? Seriously. We need to kill those guys. Even if it's just so I can have cake with Jack. Who cares about saving the world? Unfortunately, all of us do. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. Again, bugger.
"Ah...we finally get to have that cake. It took about a year and a half, but that's okay." Jack said as we sat down.
"Yes, Sir. Hopefully no one will execute a surprise attack on the base. Goa'uld or other species."
As if on cue, the klaxons blared and "Unauthorized incoming traveler!" came over the intercom. NO! I swear, whoever comes through that 'gate is gonna die! I don't care if it's my own father. I don't care if it's God himself! Well, okay, maybe I'd make an exception for God. But that's only because he's God, and if I don't accept him he'd probably strike me down.
When we arrived, we got word that it was SG-3 coming through with heavy fire. Apparently, there was an ambush. Honestly, if there are too many more of those it'll get predictable. Oh wait, it already has. Anyway, they came through a bit beat up, but they were all alive. Good. Now I can kill them for ruining what promised to be a great piece of cake with my favorite Colonel.
A/N: Alrighty, another chapter written! Will Sam kill SG-3 for ruining her cake date with Jack? Who knows? (Right...that sounds a little stupid. Forgive me.) I promise to try and update at least every other day. It depends on if writer's block decides to give me a reprieve. Knock on wood. Don't want to jinx it. Let me know if you guys like it, hate it, have suggestions...whatever! Just let me know what you think! Please and thank you! If you have it in you, I'd like a review. It's my first published fanfic and I want to know what everyone thinks!
