Here's the next bit folks, hope you like. More reviews please, I know your there! Should have another part on in the next week and for the reviews that I have got, thanks. I'll try and answer as they come in or just put a thank you note on. A big thank you to my ever patient beta, Annie. Her suggestions have been right on the button and have helped me to keep my focus. I do have another 3 chapters knocking around, I'm just fiddling with them. Sorry! Thanks again. NatXxX

Holy Hannah! I've just looked in 'The Colonel's' and Daniel's bedroom. Ohhh… Jack, it's Jack! I'm really struggling with that. The General said we can't wander around calling each other sir and Colonel. I have to say, the whole concept's not so hard to get my head around when he's being such an unholy terror! How did his parents not kill him the first time around?

I should have expected this but it's getting worse, not better. Daniel's withdrawing into himself a little more every day, and The Col… Jack, well, he's just pushing all the time. The incident with the marines; I was so angry I couldn't even speak! We still need to talk about that.

We need to all talk about a lot of things. I'm not even sure about their memories anymore. They seem to be less prevalent and the whole adult reasoning, that seems to be slipping away. Daniel has voiced his concerns to me about it and I've tried to reassure him. Janet says she's not surprised and that I should just carry on the way I'm going.

Surely Daniel can't get as bad as Jack? No, no, that's not in his nature, although I did see him laughing with Jack about the marines. I hope Daniel told him it was a bad idea but I've got a funny feeling that he didn't. He's been on his laptop a lot; I've glanced at it, just to see what he's doing. Daniel… 'A Face-book Account'? Not work? Yes, well, between that and the 'Ipod' and the long silences I think I've got two opposite ends of the teenage spectrum here, but Daniel does appear to question what he does. I don't think Jack does? Who knows?

I know that the whole 'feeling sorry for them' has to change though. I'm fairly sure that's where I've been getting it wrong. I think I thought ' Ah well, they'll be back to them selves in a few weeks, I'll just let them get on with their own thing. We'll just all be together for a bit.' What I didn't count on was the whole 'teenager thing'. Their memories, yes, and smaller bodies are one thing but this hormonal mischief, arguing and silences is another. No real fighting as yet. I think that may come though, when Daniel really gets his bearings.

Jack! His laundry, the mess! In fairness to Jack, Daniel's mess seems to have gotten worse too.

I've tried to respect their privacy and treat them like adults. It's not working; we need ground rules. I hate the fact that I only ever seem to shout at Jack. He's so pushy and unreasonable. I don't think that that helps Daniel either.

Yep, we definitely need rules and I have to enforce them. This is so hard. They're my friends and colleagues and I suppose for that reason I have to approach this from the point of view that I am, actually, the adult here and they're not anymore. God, this stinks!

The general took me aside today and pointed out that he couldn't tolerate Jack's pranks, and there have been others, not as bad as the marines though! Thankfully. He has asked me to talk to them both and then report back to him. He's really concerned and deep down he knows that neither of them are going to take much of an active part in the SGC, not for a while at least. I think we're working up to breaking it to them, although I don't think they'll find it as much of a blow as he thinks, not with the behavioral changes that I have seen in both of them. That just brings me back to wondering about their memories again. Maybe they are losing them, little by little. The way that they are now, they're not the people that I remember, not really. They are still Jack and Daniel, but they don't seem to have the concerns about the work that we do anymore. I think that I need to talk to Janet too about that.

We've contacted everyone that we can think of. Nobody seems able to help. There's been a lot of 'umming and arrring', but no real answers. 'The As'gard' may have something in a few weeks; although they were quick to point out that it was in no way a sure thing. That says to me they can't do anything. Call me a kill joy but there you go. I've looked at the technology and I have no idea. They just look like rocks, feel like rocks, what can I say? No energy being emitted, nothing to go on. I don't see what else I can do? I'll carry on my investigations but I'm running out of options fast.

And now, I'm standing here, looking through the door to their room. They've gone to the store now. I can't even see the floor! The beds are covered in stuff, there's even pants hanging from the light fitting! I'm not even stepping over the threshold, they can sort this out. I have to be firm. Maybe The General's stance is more the way to go after all?

Yep, I need to talk to them, seriously, and then maybe to Janet. She's a mom and she's good with 'the looks'. I need to enlist Teal'c's help more too. He hasn't really said much, maybe because I've tried to take it all on myself. Maybe I've shut him out of this situation a bit. I think he wants to help, I just haven't let him. I have to admit, help is definitely required.

Maybe The General can give me some tips too?
