Next chapter… sorry this one is so short. :)

"Sir…" Jack faintly heard the sound of his name being called. The voice belonged to Sam. Jack felt the presence of several people, and assumed it was his team. A hand brushed against the lower of his stomach, too soft to belong to a man.

"Check his pulse," Jack heard Daniel order.

A finger held against his neck and then lifted his hand and pressed a finger to the pulse on his wrist. "Sir, can you hear me?" the angel-voice inquired.

"Carter?" he groaned groggily.

"Yes, sir. I'm here,"

"Ouch," he complained, feeling the pain ache all over his body. "That hurt."

"Can you move, Sir."

"No…" he answered as he opened his eyes and attempted to stand. He struggled on his own, and he welcomed the support of both Sam and Daniel. He winced as he used his strength to assist them.

Jack stood, struggling to keep his feet on the ground. Sam helped hold him up.

"Who are you?" Daniel asked, his full attention awaiting their story. He stood with his hands to his side, and an impassive expression plastered across his face.

The female with the Gold dress stepped forward. "We are the royal Ti-marni family…" her voice as frank as the rest of her family. "I am Madam Katherine, my sister, Joanne, my husband, Darius and our daughter, Madison."

Darius stepped up beside his wife.

Suddenly Teal'c took a step back. A raised eyebrow, "My apologies, O'Neal, I see now… natives with silver skin."

"Hate to say I told you so…" Jack mumbled.

"We apologize in behalf of our daughter, Madison's behavior," Darius said sincerely. "We have taught her the ways of our ancestors, but she is still yet to be as obedient as we would like."

"You mean she's making us act like loonies?" Jack snapped piecing it all together.

"My wife and I will have a word with her. She won't be causing you anymore trouble," he shot the child a look, and she seemed to shy away guiltily.

"Don't worry about it, your highness," Sam smiled warmly. "We weren't harmed."

"Very well," he nodded. "You are kind."

"Speak for yourself, Carter; I don't act like a ninny whacker on average,"

Sam suppressed a smile.

"Okay, so… I have my moments," he accepted reluctantly.

"I am, Daniel Jackson," he piped in standing with his hands to his side. He turned to his team members one by one. "This is Connell Jack O'Neal, Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c…" he turned his attention back to Darius. "We are a team called SG-1 from the people called the Ta'uri, we are peaceful explorers, and we are eager to learn about your culture and we are willing to share what information we have that would be of interest to you," he went on.

Daruis stared at him blankly.

"What he means is, we want to get to know you better…" Jack said simply. "We ask you questions, and you can ask us questions… your favorite things, you know, blah, blah, blah…"

Sam shot him an insulted look, and Jack retreated. Damn woman. Only did she have to look at him, bat her eyelashes, smile or glance sideways and the woman had him had 'hello'. He wondered if he had that effect on someone… yeah right, he thought if I lived in a sci-fi series.

"We accept your offer…" Katherine said.

Daniel nodded looking rather pleased, Teal'c who was not one for expressions, stood impassive, Jack and Sam, side by side, smiled agreeably towards their new native friends.

You know the drill… you want another chapter, you post a review, how else will I know what you're thinking :) to hard-core FANS, have I got it right?
