Five Things Daniel Will Never Tell Vala

1. Daniel would never tell Vala to make use of his credit card. He was too smart for that. He would order stuff for her with it but he would never give her blanket permission to use it.

2. Daniel would never tell Vala that he was secretly glad that she had made him miss the trip to Atlantis- both times. It would feed her ego too much.

3. Daniel would never tell Vala that he was glad that he had been unable to kill Adria. He had voiced regrett for not killing Adria when he had the chance and had disagreed with Sam about Adria being a little girl but secretly he agreed. Life was too precious to just take it no matter that the little girl in a matter of days would be responsible for the slaughter of inocents. Life should only be taken in active defense of yourself and others.

4.Daniel would never tell Vala about how he came back from Ascension- both times. Oh he told her about his lack of memories but he would never mention the naked part.

5. Daniel would never tell Vala that he loves her. He had missed his chance and now Vala had gone back to the Ori galaxy with Tomin. Vala and Tomin had gone back to free the people from the oprssive religon now that the Ori were gone.

Five Things Vala Wishes She Had Never Learned

1. Vala wishes she had never learned anything about the Goa'uld. Not because she had been one but because of what they had taken from Daniel. If she had never been Qetesh she would never have been freed and forced to be a space pirate after. If she had never turned pirate she would have never tried to steel the Promethus and met Dr. Daniel Jackson. It was what Daniel had lost that hurt her now.

2. Vala wishes she had never learned about the Ori beachhead. She wishes that had never happened because then she would not be a married woman. She would be free to be with Daniel without feeling like she had to keep their relationship on just friendly footing.

3. Vala wishes she had never learned about Sha're. She wouldn't have had to feel Daniel's pain. She could have continued to flirt shamelessly with him with out knowing he had lost the love of his life. Now that she knows, she can't seem to find it in her to tease him so much, because she knows she will never wear him down.

4. Vala wishes she had never learned the secret that Morgan le Fey had been trying to tell them about the gate addresses. If she had never learned that then they would have never found Merlin's weapon. Adria wouldn't have taken Daniel to be a Prior and they wouldn't have had to hurt her daughter to get him back. Vala regretts both Daniel's pain of being a prior and the pain inflicted on Adria. She does not regrett the pain Daniel's disappearnace caused her. She deserved that for being part of the means by which the Ori found out about the Milky Way.

5.Vala wishes she had never learned that Tomin was dead. The fact that Daniel rejected her was bareable when she could tell herself that was because she was still married. But now that Tomin was dead and gone that exscuse was no longer valid.

"Vala, can I come in?" Daniel's voice cut in to her thoughts. She straightened up from where she had her head burried in the pillow, wipped away ther tears and answered the door.

"What do you want?" Vala asked as she opened the door just enough to peek her head through.

"I wanted to see how you are doing? I heard the news." Daniel stated. Vala opened the door the wider and motioned him in.

They moved to sit side by side on the edge of the bed in silence. They sat there for a while before Vala leaned her head on his shoulder and he put an arm around her. She cried into his shoulder. She cried for the good man she had married and lost. She cried for the good man holding her that could never be hers. When the tears had dried she sat back up and scooted away.

"I know this is bad timing," Daniel started a few minutes later. "But it has just been proved again that life is short and you never know which moment will be your last."

"Yes?" she prompted.

"So how would you like to go to dinner with me sometime soon." He paused to look her fully in the face, "As a date?"

Never mind about that last thing she wishes she had never learned. That had turned out to be bittersweet after all.

Five Things Teal'c Learned While Kel'no'reeming With Daniel Jackson

1. The very first time Daniel Jackson came to me to kel'no'reem I learned that though he may have ascended and descended, he was still the same Daniel Jackson. He was tenacious when there was something bothering him. He will seek the solution till he finds it. I am thankful this is so, for Master Bra'tac and my son Ry'ac would not be alive today.

2. The second time Daniel Jackson came to kel'no'reem, I learned that though the skinny aecheologist had given way to a battle seasoned warrior, he was still insecure. He seemed to all outward apperances to have found a place here at the SGC, to belong, but was still the scared little orphan boy. In this, I learned that I shared something in common with him besides just being on the same team. I, too, did not feel I really belonged here at first, but now both of us realize we do belong.

3. It was several kel'no'reem sesions before Daniel Jackson opened up about the painful past we shared. When he did, I learned that Daniel Jackson was more forgiving and compassionate than I could ever be. He revealed that he forgave me for Sha're's death. I had known that before. How could I not being on the same team with him for the years since her death? But knowing and hearing him talk about that year on Abydos, the year he does not mention often or to just anyone, was a sign that there was no bitterness - just forgiveness and aceptance.

4. It was several more sesions before I learned that Daniel Jackson envied me. He had talked of Abydos again. This time, he mentioned that he and Sha're had lost a child just weeks before that fateful day. He had always regretted not having a part of Sha're around. He envied me Ray'ac.

5. More recently, Daniel Jackson has confessed that he was worried. Not about the Ori, but about the plans Adria had for him. She had said on the Ori ship that she had plans. Daniel Jackson had confessed it was not so much that she had plans, but they way she had said it. He had compared it to Hathor and that worried me as well.
