Challenge #911
I would like to see a story where a new member joins SG-1. Must be female and must be like Daniel in most ways. Must fall in love with Daniel and her name must be Dani. Everyone whumping, must be lengthy. Have fun!

Challenge #867
I'd like to see a story exploring the relationship between Sam and Martouf (yes I know he's dead but indulge me!!!). It doesn't have to get mushy if you don't want it to but please don't turn it into another S/J romance story (not that I don't like the idea but I think there are enough floating round). Have fun....

Challenge #1,021
Okay, Jack gets really bored during one of the more "scientific" missions and ends up teaching the natives hockey. Good luck.

Submitted by Sandman

"SG-1, I want you to meet Danielle. She will be joining your team effective immediately." General Hammond said, looking each of the members of SG-1 in the eye.

"With all due respect, General, we already have one civilian on our team. Do we need another?" Colonel O'Neill asked.

"I have been asked to join SG-1 at the General's personal request. It is an honor to get the chance to serve with you, Colonel." Danielle replied in her own defense.

"What did you say your occupation was?" Daniel asked, his blue eyes narrowing into curious slits.

"I am an archaeologist and linguist. I am also a sketch artist. I thought that..."

"Once again, General, is any of this sounding a little familiar?" Jack said, interrupting her. "Look, lady, it's great that you came all this way to join the team but four is the limit."

General Hammond was about to reprimand him when Danielle rescued herself.

"Are you always this rude to total strangers or is this just a mood of yours?" she commented, getting rather close to Jack's face. Not being in the military, she could not be charged with insubordination. Daniel and Sam smiled, and Teal'c raised an amused eyebrow. Danielle, who preferred to be called Dani, would fit in perfectly; she already knew how to tell off her CO.

SG-1's first mission with its new member was scheduled for the next day, so the team had the rest of the time to get to know their new friend. Daniel had the fortune to find her first.

"I couldn't help but notice that your job description sounds a lot like mine." He said as the two walked into Daniel's office.

"Yes. I have read your file. It is also fascinating to note that we have generally the same name." Dani said.

"Um, yeah, and you don't come from around here, do you?" Daniel said.

"That is true. I was born here on Earth, but have lived off-world with several different cultures much of my life." She explained.

"Like which ones?" Daniel asked, curious as to how she got off world without their knowledge of her before.

"I know what you must be thinking. I have been part of the Stargate program for years. I earned my archaeology and linguistics degrees here on Earth, and then studied with the Tollan and the Nox. But, for the past few years, I have lived on Abydos." She said.

Abydos. Bells and whistles went off in Daniel's head.

"You lived on Abydos?" Daniel said.

"Yes. I knew of your family and what happened to Shau'ri and Skaara. I am afraid there was not much that could have been done for either of them. I cannot imagine what this is doing to Shau'ri." Dani babbled, turning from Daniel to keep him from seeing her emotions. She didn't know.

"Um, Dani? Shau'ri died last year." Daniel said gently. Dani whirled to face him.

"So it is true? Shau'ri is gone?" Dani asked. Daniel nodded. She took a deep breath and asked, "And what of Skaara?"

"Skaara got lucky. The Tollan, as you may know, have a way of separating Host from symbiote without killing the host. We were able to get to him in time to save him." Daniel said. Dani's tears caught him off guard. Her eyes shimmered when she was happy.

"Will we see him again?" she asked.

"I'll see what I can do." Daniel said, smiling. It was nice to have a connection to Abydos again.

Later on, it was Sam's turn. She and Dani talked for hours. She was familiar with the Tok'ra, but had never really met one. She was very skeptical about the co-habitation of the Tok'ra symbiotes, but was willing to be open minded. Dani discovered that wormhole physics and naquada were best left to Sam, and Sam introduced her to Dr. Fraiser.

Teal'c had been, in general, very quiet about Dani. She told General Hammond that their first conversation had been 'productive' but nothing more. She was familiar with Chulak but had never been there.

General Hammond watched in amusement as Dani timidly knocked on Colonel O'Neill's office door. He watched as Jack refused to come out and eventually, Dani gave up and retreated to the General's office.

"General, this isn't working out." Dani said. "How can I become a functioning part of this team when my CO won't talk to me?" General Hammond chuckled.

"It's going to be just fine. Jack will get used to you it's just a matter of time." "We don't have time. Our first mission as a team is tomorrow." Dani said, getting serious. General Hammond patted her on the back.

"It's going to be fine, I promise."

The next day, the team showed up in the gate room, right on time, ready to disembark on their first mission. Jack still was not too happy about having Dani tag along, but she, just like Daniel, was excited at the prospect of a new planet.

"SG-1, you have a go." Came General Hammonds voice. The five stepped up and went through the stone portal, stepping easily out through the other side. Once on the new planet, Dani stared in wonder. She spotted some ruins near the gate and recognized the carvings on them.

Daniel and Dani looked at one another and Jack rolled his eyes.

"Okay, campers, here's the deal: Daniel and Dani, decipher the ruins, Sam take your readings and Teal'c...look busy." Jack called out. As his teammates scattered, Jack's gaze wandered to what looked like a nearby village. It was winter on this world, though not very cold. There was snow and ice on the ground, but none falling. The sky was a flawless blue and two moons were perfectly visible with the naked eye. Jack began to think to himself all the things he could be doing back home. Considering the weather, the words 'ice hockey' came to mind.

Daniel finished the etching he was making of one section of the altar and turned to see Dani, feeling rather short, trying desperately to see one of the higher sections of the keystone in front of her. Smiling, Daniel walked over and hoisted her petite frame up onto his shoulder.

"Dr. Jackson!" Dani cried, "You startled me!"

"Is that better?" Daniel quipped.

"Yes." Dani said, turning to concentrate on the ancient writing. There had been something in Daniel's gaze that Dani hadn't seen there before; something that made her spine tingle.

Meanwhile, Sam and Teal'c were a few feet away.

"They seem to be getting along quite well, don't you think, Teal'c?" said Sam.

"Indeed Major Carter. She will be an asset to the team." Teal'c replied.

"You mean an asset to Daniel." Teased Sam.

"What are you insinuating, Major Carter?" Teal'c asked, his eyebrow cocked in curiosity.

"Nothing. It's just that she makes a good addition to the team because she knows more about cultures that Daniel isn't as familiar with." Sam said. There was something so familiar about Dani, but Sam couldn't put a finger on it.

Far away, Jack had introduced himself to the locals. He explained where they were from and how they had come to be there and why they were there. Amazingly, they believed him. They appeared to be reasonably advanced--not very far behind humanity. Suddenly, Jack got an idea.

"Do you people know what hockey is?" Jack asked, stuffing his weapon in his pack.

"Haw-key?" the people repeated, trying to figure out what he was talking about. Jack smiled; this was going to be more fun than he thought.

Far away, back at the camp, Sam had finished her readings and was using her palm pilot to check her e-mail.

"That thing has some range on it, doesn't it, Sam?" Daniel teased.

"Actually, Dani taught me how to wire it so that the signal goes through the Stargate." Sam answered.

"By the way, where is Colonel O'Neill?" Dani asked.

"Good question." Said Daniel. In the distance, they could hear a cheering crowd.

They followed the sounds to a small pond outside the village. Native villagers cheering on the people on the ice tightly ringed the pond. Jack had taught the people to fashion ice skates, hockey sticks and goals from available materials and taught them the rules as they went along.

SG-1 watched in amazement as the crowd had divided itself into opposing sides and cheered with as much vigor, if not more, than a crowd back on Earth. One of the locals bumped into them and asked what team they were 'rooting' for. They muttered that they were for whichever team Colonel O'Neill was on. The crowd they had stumbled into was obviously the opposing side, because the crowd converged on them and began to bombard them with food and other miscellaneous objects. The other side saw this and ran to SG-1's rescue, thus beginning a huge brawl reminiscent of something the team had seen on a televised Soccer match over in Europe.

Meanwhile, on the ice, Jack called a timeout, but obviously was ignored because he was soon slammed into by three of the other players who either had not learned how to use their brakes well or had simply become too wrapped up in the moment. In either case, Jack soon smelled ice - he was face to face with it. He glanced up and saw his teammates fighting to get free and almost laughed. This would make an interesting report.

Jack was just struggling to his feet when he heard a sound like a weapon firing. He looked up and saw Martouf standing there with a handful of other Tok'ra. He had gone to the SGC looking for Sam. When she had not been there at the appointed time, and the whole team had become terribly late, Martouf had taken matters into his own hands.

He was amazed at what he saw. The indigenous people calmed themselves and backed away from the members of SG-1, who were picking themselves up off the ground. Martouf extended a hand to Sam, who until then had not seen him. She looked up and her baby blues met his chocolate browns and Sam smiled.

"What are you doing here?" She asked as Martouf straightened her hair and kissed her cheek.

"We had a 'date' today, Samantha. You were not there at the appointed time. General Hammond authorized me to come looking for you." Martouf answered.

"That was nice of him." Sam said, softening her tone. She and Martouf had had many such 'dates' in the past few months. Sam had briefly been host to Martouf's mate, Jolinar, and Sam herself found that she was growing fond of the soft-spoken, wise Tok'ra man.

Martouf gathered SG-1 and headed back through the wormhole, leaving the people of that world to piece together the rules of the sport they had been taught and write them down before they forgot. They waved and cheered as Colonel O'Neill walked through the gate, shepherding Daniel and Dani, each with an armload of pictures of the ruins and notes on the explanations that the people had provided. It would, no doubt, keep them busy for a while. Sam had her soil and atmospheric samples to analyze and Teal'c, well... Teal'c had gotten some exercise and...um...came home with a few bruises, just like everyone else.

"Colonel O'Neill, I would like to know just exactly what you thought you were doing out there today." General Hammond said, staring at the reports written by the rest of SG-1. Most of the reports had been fairly uneventful until he came to the parts where they described the hockey game. He had almost been tempted to laugh. He couldn't seem to imagine Colonel O'Neill teaching the indigenous people of a planet how to play hockey. While he supposed it was possible, part of him thought that O'Neill had that one shred of professionalism left that restrained his actions. Well, he was obviously wrong.

He stared at the blonde man in the chair opposite his desk. He was relaxed into his customary position, as if he sat in that chair every day. Once again, he was tempted to laugh.

"I wish I could punish you for this, Colonel, but it seems that the mission was accomplished. Dr. Jackson and Danielle retrieved what they needed to begin studying the culture, Major Carter got what she needed...I can't really punish you for accomplishing what you came for. The natives were more than friendly and accommodating, and all you did was teach them a game. Other than your team coming back with minor bumps and bruises...Frankly, Jack, I'm stunned." General Hammond stuttered. He couldn't believe it.

"Well, sir, I can't help thinking that I did them a favor..." Jack replied, shaking his head. A slender blonde figure appeared in the doorway and interrupted their conversation.

"Oh, I forgot, Jack, you have a guest. She arrived with Martouf and has been waiting for you to finish debriefing." Said Hammond. Jack turned and looked at his guest. Oh no. Anything but this.

"Debriefing...that could've been taken out of context." Jack said, resigning himself to the fact that the one member of the Tok'ra who had managed to get SG-1 into the most trouble was standing in the doorway.

"Freya or Anise?" Jack asked, looking the beautiful Tok'ra leader up and down. Her cloak still covered much of her body. The most Jack could see was the pair heels on her feet.

"It is I, Colonel O'Neill. Is there somewhere private we could go?" Said the woman in a plainly humanoid voice. Good, he wasn't talking to the snake. He was beginning to become suspicious that she hadn't removed her cloak yet. They arrived at the guest room and Freya made herself at home sitting down on one of the chairs.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" Jack asked, dryly.

"I know that in the past you have had feelings for Major Carter, but I had hoped that since she and Martouf have been having such luck with their own relationship that maybe..." She stood and crossed the room to Jack.

"...We could take this to the next level." She said. Jack's mouth went dry.

"It, uh, depends on what your next level is." Jack replied. Jack watched as she untied her heavy cloak and let it fall. Now he knew why she didn't take it off before. She was wearing next to nothing, but what she was wearing, was most...well...becoming. This woman gave the word lingerie and whole new meaning. Jack's eyes must have been saucers in his head, because Freya smiled.

"Do you like it?" She asked. His only answer was a nod.

"You see, I promised that I would study your customs so you would not be so uncomfortable. It seems I have, as you say, done my homework well." Freya continued. The lacy outfit she was wearing was exotic, but nothing like a human woman would wear. The number of beads and the amount of ribbon on it suggested that it was hand-made, and as delicate as she was.

"And Anise doesn't have a problem with this?" Jack said.

"Anise doesn't have a choice." Said Freya. With this, She pulled Jack to stand in front of her. Without hesitating for more than a moment, they shared their first kiss, and soon after, they shared more than that...much more.

Far away, Sam and Martouf had gone shopping. Martouf had expressed a desire to spend more time with Sam here on Earth, which was fine, but his Tok'ra attire just wouldn't cut it. To start with, he borrowed a set of clothes from Daniel, who turned out to be approximately the same size.

A pair of Dockers, jeans, t-shirts, polo shirts and shoes later, topped off with a tres-cool pair of Armani shades, Martouf was ready for the city.

"I had no idea that Earth men needed so much clothing, Sam." Said Martouf. Sam had to laugh. She was dressed down. She wore a long, broomstick sundress, with her own sunglasses perched on her head. They had shopped for hours for just the right outfits for him, and now they were hungry.

"What are you in the mood for, Martouf? You've never eaten on Earth, have you?" Sam said.

"No, I have not. What would be appropriate for such a warm day?" He asked in return. Just then, Sam's cell phone rang.

"Hello? Hi Daniel! Yeah, we were just getting ready to get something to eat...wow, that sounds great...at noon? Yeah, we'll be there. See ya." Sam said, and then hung up.

"What is it?" Asked Martouf.

"Daniel is making cheeseburgers at his apartment and he invited the whole team. Would you like to come?" Sam replied.

"I'd love to." Said Martouf, offering Sam his arm. "I just have one question...what's a cheeseburger?" Sam laughed as they got into her little mint colored Volvo and drove the rest of the way to Daniel's apartment. As soon as they drove up, they could smell Daniel's grill up a few floors and they could hear Jack giving him instructions.

Upstairs, Dani pulled a pan of french-fries out of the oven and took a couple on a small plate to Daniel and Jack. Dani smiled at them.

"You know, a wise man once told me that you don't tell another man how to cook in his own home." She said, feeding Jack a fry. She fed one to Daniel also and waited for their reaction. Daniel knew something was different about that fry.

"The spice I used is from Abydos." She said, "Somehow, I don't think they ever intended it for a french-fry, but I think it works quite nicely, don't you?"

"Hey, you used a contraction." Daniel said.

"Yes, I start to slip back into my Earth habits when I'm home for long periods of time." Dani said, walking back toward the kitchen.

"Colonel O'Neill," Freya called from the living room. Jack had managed to smuggle her off base, with permission this time, and a pretty spare dress of Sam's seemed to finish her off quite well.

"Now, Freya, if you want to seriously pursue this 'next level', you'll just have to learn to call me Jack when we are not at the SGC, okay?" Jack said gently, his finger tracing her face. Lightly, he kissed her, and then winked as he went to answer the door.

"That must be Sam and Marty." Said Jack. He always called Martouf that, and it was probably a good thing. Martouf is not exactly the kind of name that you hear every day.

"I think I saw Janet's car behind us. You invited her too, right?" Sam said, dropping her purse in a chair as she headed for the balcony. Jack handed her a beer, and she appeared to blend into the small party completely. Martouf and Freya quietly acknowledged each other and appeared to feel quite out of place unless they were with their dates. Daniel and Jack discussed hamburger recipes while the girls gathered in the kitchen. It turned into a great afternoon. And yes, Martouf loved his first cheeseburger.

That evening, Daniel collapsed onto his couch, and Dani brought him a drink.

"What's this?" Daniel asked.

"It's called a kir. It's a little trick I learned in Paris." Dani replied.

"You speak French?" Daniel asked.

"Yes." Dani replied.

"Speak some for me." Daniel teased, wanting to hear if she really could. He was actually more interested in hearing her accent in another tongue.

" A moi, tu as la colour de mes yeux. Tu as la raison dans ma vie. Il n'y a des persons qui est comme toi." She said softly, her eyes and her tone warm and relaxed.

Daniel smiled. Then, Dani did something that he never dreamed she'd do. She snuggled closer to him, leaned into his shoulder and the two sat and watched the lights come on all over the city as night fell. They stayed there, stretched out and still cuddled together on the sofa, all night, waking to the sound of one another's heartbeats the next morning.

Daniel stroked his beloved friend's long hair gently. It shone like gold in the sunlight. She awoke and looked up at him, content not to move too much more.

"I have a surprise for you at work today." Daniel said.

"Really?" Dani said sleepily.

"Yeah. You can have it on one condition." Said Daniel.

"What's that?" She asked.

"You make me some of your famous Abydonian breakfast rolls." Daniel couldn't get another word in, Dani was laughing too hard.

"Are you sure Shau'ri never talked about me?" Dani asked.

"Yeah, she used to make them for me and said she knew someone who could do it better, though I can't imagine how. I can only imagine that she was referring to you." Daniel said. Dani crept carefully off the couch and tiptoed to the kitchen. That night had passed so well. They had slept together. That's all, just sleep. It had been the best night Dani could remember.

After breakfast, Daniel and Dani headed back to the SGC. Freya and Martouf had gone home long ago, and Teal'c's family had arrived during the night. It wasn't on purpose - where they lived, it was still early afternoon. Dani nodded when they arrived in the control room and saw General Hammond. She watched as the Stargate dialed and opened, the iris parted, and a familiar form materialized on the ramp. Dani had never been so glad to see him.

"Skaara!" Dani cried, "Daniel, you did this?"

"You told me you knew him and I pulled a few strings." Daniel replied.

The two rushed to the gate room as the guardians stood down. Skaara saw Dani, and tears filled his brown eyes.

"It is true, you are here!" Skaara said, sweeping Dani into a big hug.

"I've missed you, friend! Come, we have much to catch up on." Dani said.

"My sister would have been so happy to see you. I know her spirit is with us both." Skaara said.

"Daniel, that was so amazing. I can't believe you'd do something like that for me." Dani stammered after Skaara had gone home. Daniel only blushed.

"It was the least I could do. You've been so good to me the past few days." Daniel said.

The two returned to their office to work on the artifacts that they had retrieved from the last world. They had a lot to catalog before lunch.

Sam was on leave for a few days and had chosen to leave for the Tok'ra home world. Martouf had met her at the Stargate and had much planned for them to do. They spent the day exploring the ruins and the city, tasting the food, and Martouf bought her an amazing dress.

"So this is the payback I get for spoiling you on Earth." Sam teased. Martouf smiled.

"I figured it was the least I could do. You helped me blend into your culture; I helped you blend into mine. That shade of blue really does become you, Sam." He replied.

Sam took another bite of the desert in front of her. It was cool and creamy like ice cream, but had little crunchies in it almost like rice krispies. Music began in the background, and Martouf offered his hand to his radiant guest.

They danced for hours, each teaching the other dances from their respective cultures. It was after midnight before they sat down.

"Sam, I have something for you." Martouf said, producing a small pouch. "I had this made for you. I hope you'll wear it." In his hand was a sparkling silver ring. It was elaborately formed, unlike anything Sam had ever seen. Tears invaded her eyes when he reached for her hand.

"I know that in the back of your mind you must think that when I see you, I see Jolinar, but I don't. I loved Jolinar with all of my heart and soul, but you and I are different. I never thought I could love anyone like this again. Not after what happened to her. But you've proven to me that life--and love--does go on. I can see our future in your eyes, Sam. I see our children. Put on this ring, and I'll know you feel the same way." Martouf said. Sam couldn't quell the tears that fell from her eyes as he spoke. No one had ever said something like this to her. Slowly, she took the ring from his trembling hand and slipped it onto her left hand. Miraculously it fit perfectly. It was an engagement ring, and for Sam, it cemented the idea in her mind that Martouf really did mean it when he said I love you. She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his, letting her enthusiasm sweep her away.

"Wait," Sam sniffled, "Where's my dad? I want to tell him the good news." Martouf smiled. Taking Sam's hand, he led her down the hall where she heard familiar humming. Timidly, she knocked on the bare doorframe.

"Dad?" She called.

"There's my baby girl! I heard you were going to be here and I was beginning to wonder why you hadn't come to see me yet." He said. Then he saw the tears in her eyes.

"Sam, what's wrong?" He said. Sam took a deep breath and told him what Martouf had said. Jacob's eyes swelled with tears of his own.

"Dad, I'm getting married." Sam said, both of them giving in to the tears they were holding back. Martouf came in when Jacob called him, knowing that he was right there in the doorway. Both Jacob and Selmac made Martouf promise to take good care of Sam, and only then did Jacob give them his blessing.

Martouf and Jacob were kissing Sam goodbye at the Stargate the next morning when Freya walked by. The glistening in Martouf's eyes was his gift to Sam as she disappeared though the portal.

"Martouf, she was not wearing that ring when she arrived." Freya said.

"They are getting married, Freya." Said Selmac, momentarily taking the opportunity to speak. "I knew that they were close but I never imagined that it would move so quickly."

Freya's head gained a curious tilt. She hadn't imagined being married to any man, but her recent break through with Jack gave her cause to pause and reflect. She hadn't thought of Jack as a potential mate. The culture she had come from was one that was very free with their emotions and it had been perfectly normal for her to act this way around Jack and not expect him to read too much into it. Then she remembered what she had learned about human relationships. She had given Jack a very precious gift; he would surely expect her to keep up her end of the relationship. Commitment was going to be an interesting lesson for her.

Daniel and Dani were working late. The base was quietest at night, and they were getting a lot done. Around 11:00pm, Daniel stood and stretched. He hadn't even noticed that Dani had fallen asleep at her desk. There were papers everywhere, artifacts that had been tagged and cataloged but she had been too busy to get up and put away.

Daniel walked softly over to her and rested his hands on her shoulders. She woke up at his touch, and relaxed into his grip. Sleepily, she rubbed her eyes, replacing her glasses on her face.

"Mmm...that feels so good." Dani murmured. Daniel pushed a button on a remote control, beginning music on one of the computers. Dani smiled, one of her favorite songs began to play.

"I am the man who would fight for your honor

I'll be the hero you're dreaming of

We'll live forever

Knowing together that we did it all

For the Glory of Love."

"Would you really fight for me?" Dani asked, sliding into Daniel's arms to dance with him. Daniel smiled.

"You bet I would." Daniel murmured, kissing her. The song ended and the two found themselves standing inches apart. Daniel took Dani's face in his hands and kissed her again, this time with more passion. She relaxed into his steady embrace and let him pull her closer. Without breaking the kiss, Dani reached for the top button of his shirt. Gently, Daniel held her hands.

"Not here. C'mon, I know a place we can go."

A few steps down the hall was an empty guest room. The two tiptoed inside and softly shut the door. Dani kissed Daniel again, this time he let her unbutton his shirt. They collapsed to the nearby bed, Daniel smothering her in kisses.

"Daniel..." she murmured, losing the ability to breathe let alone speak. Then it happened, Dani heard something she hoped she would never hear Daniel say.

"What did you call me?" Dani said, jerking back from his kiss. Daniel pulled suddenly out of his revelry to stare bewildered.

"Wha - what's wrong?" Daniel asked. Dani didn't answer. Tears were already beginning to drop from her eyes. She pulled her camouflage fatigue shirt back over her black tee shirt and went for the door.

"I should have known you still weren't over it." She said.

"Dani!" Daniel called desperately.

"I'll be at Sam's tonight." She said as she closed the door on him. In his distraction he didn't even know what he had called her, but whatever it was, it had badly hurt her feelings. Daniel rested his head in his hands, and shut his eyes. What had he done?

"He called you what?" Major Samantha Carter asked Dani. She was as stunned as Dani was when she heard it. "You and Daniel have been getting along so well, Dani. I guess I am just as shocked as you."

"He said he loved me, Sam." Dani said, peering out the window at the stars. Sam listened as Dani replayed the events of that night. Dani already knew what it was like to have her heart broken but for some reason, this was different.

"My God, Sam, he called me Shau'ri!" Dani wept.
