Author's Note: Alright, I promised a chapter every other day...so here it goes. I'd also like to thank Firestarter310, Sci Fi Fan Gillian, and SilverPunk with an attitude for the reviews! I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations! Like I said before, I won't threaten not to post until I get a certain amount of reviews...I love writing, but as any fanfic writer would say, they're encouraged by reviews...so please do if you have the time! Alright, now after this paragraph long A/N, on with the story!
Sam's POV
Well, unfortunately I couldn't kill SG-3 for ruining my cake date with Jack. I got caught going into the armory. I lied and said I was making sure all weapons were present and accounted for. I don't think Siler believed me. But he let me go anyway. He's a nice guy. It almost makes me feel bad about the time Jack accidentally shoved him over the railing that gave him a broken arm and a concussion. Almost.
I guess I'll just have to kill those Marines in their sleep. I should wear gloves so they can't get my fingerprints off the bodies. Well, I know what I'll be doing later. Anyway, after I left the armory, or more specifically got kicked out by Siler, I went off in search of some form of entertainment. Preferably something Jack-related.
I went to his office. He wasn't there. I decided that since there wasn't much left to do, I'd go to my own lab and just tinker around with my "doohickeys" until I could find something better to do. When I got there, I found Jack sitting at the island on a stool, asleep. I couldn't pass up this chance.
I decided to have a little fun. And hey, it is Jack-related. Just not exactly what I had pictured when the idea entered my mind. Oh, well. I had a brilliant idea on how to wake him up. Well, okay. Maybe not brilliant but it would at least be somewhat funny.
Well all know guys have a little bit of a perverted side (or, a huge bit of a perverted side) so I decided to appeal to that. I rummaged around through the drawers and shelves in my lab looking for a certain CD no one knew I had. Which is why I don't even remember where it is. And if you ask me where I got it, I will blatantly lie to you.
After searching very carefully for around 15 minutes, I found what I was looking for. I had to be very quiet if I this was to work as I wanted it to. I found my little boom box and put the CD in. I made sure it was working correctly and turned it on.
I left the room before the song began. I was standing just outside the door when the song "Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang came on. I tried hard not to laugh, but I couldn't control the giggles that escaped. I knew he was awake when I heard a loud crash come from inside my lab. I walked in,
"Carter! What the hell is this?!"
Instead, I asked him a question.
"What are you doing in my lab?"
I knew perfectly well what he was doing in my lab. He was waiting for me.
"Well, I was waiting for you to come back from God knows where, and I just...fell asleep." he answered.
I resisted the urge to giggle again. You know what Jack says about giggling: Don't do it. I ran over and shut off the CD player right before it got to the really disgustingly perverted part. Well, all of it is disgustingly perverted. That's what makes it funny.
"Oh. Right. Well, shall we try for that cake again? I doubt the same thing would happen twice in one day." I said as I mentally crossed my fingers.
"Sure, why not? By the way...since when do you have a CD by the Bloodhound Gang?"
NO! Damn him! I tried so hard, but the blush just crept it's way up my face anyway. Curse him for having that perverted side I was talking about!
"Ah...I don't know? I just found it."
Like I said, if asked how this came into my possession, I would blatantly lie. But in a way, it wasn't a lie. I had just found it.
"Maybe we should just eat the cake in the control room this time, that way if someone decides to be an unauthorized traveler, we'll already be there. No need to waste perfectly good cake." he said
I laughed. He really isn't as dense as he claims to be. Just a little strange. Which is why I like him.
"That could work. Though I don't know if we should. I don't think Sgt. Davis would be too happy if we broke his toys...and I wouldn't be too happy if we broke my dialing system."
I gave him a slightly cheeky grin. As long as I don't mention interruptions, maybe none will happen. But if they do, I really will kill them this time.
"So, has Danny said anything about why the cube turned us into kids?" he asked as we walked
"Ah...no. I haven't really heard anything from him since our visit to the infirmary..."
We both laughed. We knew the implications of my last statement.
"I have a feeling they aren't getting much work done..."
As we were walking, we came upon another force that would hinder our cake date. Speak of the little devils, Daniel and Janet. Why, God, why?! Well, at least they had their hands off each other. Though they did look a little flushed. I snickered despite the fact that my life was ruined. Again.
"Hey guys, we were just looking for you. I think we've figured out something..." Daniel said
He started walking off. He stopped and turned around,
"Ah...if you'll follow me, please."
I didn't particularly want to follow him. Unless it was to kill him. But if I want to be back in my own body, I guess I'll have to let him live. We followed him to his office and on the way there Daniel and Janet were a little too close together to just be working on the same project...I knew they were just dying to touch each other. Ugh, gross.
"I think I've translated most of the text. It seems to indicate that what happened to you is the normal function of this device..."
"So why didn't it react to you or Teal'c when you touched it?" Jack asked
"Well, we think it's because you have to carry the genetic code belonging to the Ancients, so if you don't have it, the device doesn't react to you." Daniel explained (A/N: I had this idea waaaaay before they said anything about it on Stargate Atlantis, so no, I'm not getting it from that.)
"Well, I can see why it happened to Colonel O'Neill, I mean he can handle the repository. So he must have the gene. But what about me?" I asked
"Obviously you must have those genes as well,"
"Obviously." Jack stated.
"It's actually quite ingenious if you think about it. Instead of using a device like the one on P4X-639 that would affect all planets within a certain area, they could just change themselves. Start from a younger age...they could live for as long as they wanted," I was explaining something about a device I knew little of, "except for the worry of dying out from disease. It might have given them more time though."
I felt good for explaining something I supposedly knew nothing about. It was even better that I was right. Though it shouldn't really surprise anyone anymore.
"That would be the most logical explanation. Though it doesn't seem like the type of thing they would use...well, not based on previous finds, anyway." Daniel said
Janet had yet to speak. I wonder why? My question was soon answered.
"Well, from a medical standpoint we have no idea what this gene is...but from what Daniel has told me, this device will eventually give you the powers that the Ancients possessed."
"Well, I can understand the whole gene reacting to the cube thing, but the powers? How does that happen?" Jack asked the question I was about to.
I swear, that man reads my mind. But I seriously hope he doesn't...I don't want him to find out about some certain inappropriate thoughts I constantly have...I mean...that I rarely have. Yeah, that's it. Rarely have.
"I was thinking that whomever possesses the genetic code actually has the powers and knowledge of the Ancients, essentially they would lie dormant until something activates them. Something like this device."
Ah, good ol' Daniel. You can always count on him for information that doesn't necessarily help you.
"So, what? We're getting those healing powers and stuff?"
"Or are we getting the knowledge that will override our brains and eventually kill us?"
"I don't think it'll be something along the lines of getting one or the other. I think you get both. Since it wasn't gotten from a repository. It's what you already have, it's a part of your minds at this point."
"So...the stuff that was downloaded into my head last time was stuff I already knew?"
"Well...we don't know about that. We haven't really gotten that far into it."
I knew why they hadn't gotten that far...they were making out. I decided to ask them.
"You were making out, weren't you?" I asked with as much fake innocence as I could muster.
They went silent and looked sheepish and embarrassed. Yep, they were making out. Again. You know, it's really hard to be around these people when they're allowed to do what I can't. I hate my life.
"Well, I think we're just gonna go and let you get back to...whatever you were doing."
Thanks, Jack. If you hadn't said it, I would have. I looked at my watch, it said 2136 (A/N: 9:36 PM). Oh, yay. Almost time for bed. Well, it would have been when I was actually fifteen. Maybe I can persuade Jack to go get some cake before we go to our quarters. Too bad I can't go off-base. I would really like to be in my own bed. Oh, well.
"Right, so...let's go, Sir. We have some business to attend to." I said as I started toward the door.
With that, we walked out of Daniel's lab. I really didn't want to be there when Daniel and Janet started making out again. I mean come on...have a little bit of decorum will ya? Nah, it'd be too much trouble for him.
"So, how about getting that cake? I mean, it's almost 2200, I don't think we'll be having any UA travelers." Jack was suggesting the cake again...woo- hoo!
I resisted the urge to jump up and down in excitement. Besides, I was already doing that in my head. So what was there left for me to do? I agreed, and we went in search of food in the mess hall.
"You know, if they don't have cake right now, I'm gonna complain to the General," Jack said.
"Yes, Sir. We should have cake on base at all times. Maybe we should just go out and buy one...when we look like ourselves."
I really do love it when you can just sit down and...relax. It's very uncommon. Well, it is around this place, anyway. When you throw in some cake, it makes the deal even sweeter. Pardon the pun.
"Since you pulled this stunt last time, I think I'll return the favor. You look kinda cute with..."
I had to stop him, I knew what he was going to say.
"If you say that the freckles on my nose are cute, I swear I'll kill you."
I absolutely hate it when people tell me my freckles are cute, make me look cute, whatever. I hate it.
"Fine, I won't say it."
"You can't think it either."
"Too late."
I wonder how much trouble you'll get into if you flick off your CO? Probably too much for me to deal with right now. Of course, I could always claim I was under the influence of alien technology. Oh, well. It's nice to know he thinks I'm cute. Even if it is only because of my freckles.
"Ugh...alright. Point made. Another topic of conversation, please?"
"Alright...from the explanation you gave earlier, I have a feeling you knew at least a little about that cube thing...how? I don't think we can gain the knowledge that fast."
Bingo. He asked the one question I didn't want to answer. How does he always find a way to make me uncomfortable? I guess that's Jack for you. Oh, well. We both know the feelings that were left in the room are never going to change.
"Okay...what I'm about to tell you, no one else knows...you can't mention this, no matter what."
He nodded in understanding. I'm glad he knows that I trust him enough, but still have to say it anyway. I've never told anyone this before. I don't think my own father knows. So, about to reveal the biggest secret I hold...it would be stupid to say I'm just a little bit tense. Well, if he cares about me as much as he said...this shouldn't damage anything. Then again, whenever someone says that it usually does change things. I hate my life right now....
A/N: Ha ha! A sort of cliffhanger! I guess you'll just have to wait and see what happens...I didn't particularly like this chapter, but I don't hate it. Alright, I want to once again thank the people that reviewed. So far, I'm just writing it as I go. Not too sure if this is any good or not, but I did notice one thing, sometimes it changes between past tense and present tense...I'm sorry about that. I think it's an unconscious thing. Anyway, please review! Er...right then.
Later,

P.S. Teal'c will appear in the next chapter. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about our beloved Jaffa.
