5. Sha're was always a curious child and loved to explore. After another fight with her father, over who she would have to marry, she ran off into the high hills. Daring to go where no women were allowed to go, she walked into the great pyramid and searched through the long halls. She found a device that had been depicted in one of the many wall paintings she liked to study. She pressed her hand in one symbol and it activated the large stone ring before her. She almost ran away, afraid to get caught, but then she remembered she was alone and no one knew she was here. She pressed another symbol, and another, copying the set of symbols on the wall painting until all seven lights were lit and she fell to the floor when the stargate *kawooshed*.

Stunned, she could only stare in fascination at the watery pool that had opened before her. She bravely approached it, and touched it with one hand. "This is the gate to the stars," she whispered, in awe at the gifts the god had bestowed on her. She smiled, certain now that this was surely meant to be and she stepped through the shimmery curtain.

On the other side, she was met with strange men, some with books in their hands, others with weapons. One in particular held her attention because he was the only one wearing a smile. "Hello," she said in her native tounge, "Are you Gods?" she asked.

She saw the man's smile falter, but then widen when he said something she could not understand. But he approached her, with one arm outstretched and still, the smile. She looked deep into his blue eyes and knew that she had found a friend.

Later that night, when she had helped Daniel decipher the secret to the stargate, Sha're joined the others on the trip back to Abydos. After they defeated Ra, Daniel took her back with him to earth, lest she be dishonored among her own people, as a woman who took up arms against a god. Right before they left, Sha're showed him the cartouche room and helped him copy as many gate addresses as they could before returning to earth.

A year later, they were still exploring through the Stargate, together on SG1, doing whatever it took to fight against the Goaul'd.

Bonus cuz I can't count:

6. O'Neill had come through the stargate, looking for Daniel Jackson. Sha're sadly informed him that Daniel had died not too long after they were married. He got sick with a fever that would not leave him and he wasted away. Sha're was an outcast now, for having too many opinions as a woman, so she spent her days trying to study those things that her husband loved. It was the only way she had left to stay close to him. So when Jack had come through the stargate looking for him, she knew she would go back with him. She would know the world Daniel had promised one day to show her. She would honor his memory by helping his people as best as she could. Jack had to pull some strings, but he got her on his team and you wouldn't know it to look at her, but she's a mean shot.

Wow! Very original and clever and ... wow!

Plus big cheer for #4!

[whisper99.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! :) #4 is how I wish it could have happened :)

Wow, each one different and yet all so good. Sha're, even as a contented housewife, is a strong woman with firm opinions who springs into action when she sees a threat. Brava to you both!

I loved all of these and so what if you can't count.

[whisper99.livejournal.com]

Heee! Thanks, glad you liked :)

P.S. Love the icon! What does it say about me that one of my first thoughts during that scene was "When did she tie him to the bed?"

[whisper99.livejournal.com]

LOL!! You are *so* not the only one who thought that :) I have to figure out how to manip one of the caps to show him wearing pink fuzzy cuffs :)

We are "bad, bad girls" and should be punished. What makes it even weirder, I'm actually more of a Jack O'Neill/RDA girl...

[whisper99.livejournal.com]

Heeeee! :)
