"We were so close Emma." Daniel said as he drops his helmet on to the floor in frustration as he sat down on the floor in the gate room as he ran his hand through his hair.

"So close."

Emma took off her own Kevlar as she lets out a sigh as she walks down the steps to sits beside Daniel.

"Daniel look at me."

Daniel looks over at Emma and she smiled when she sees the kicked puppy dog looked in his eyes.

" I know you had hoped we would find it, but look at the bright side."

"And what is that?" he ask her as he kick to the helmet whet his foot.

"You still get to have the first crack at ancient chair and if anyone can find out anything it is you." Emma told him whet a small smile on her face, because she know how he felt.

When SG 4 had found an ancient outpost on their trip to a new planet , Emma and Daniel had begged General Hammond to go there , and when the finely gat there , the planet had been attacked by the Goa`uld , and the outpost had been destroyed.

Daniel nodded his head before he leans down to rests his head on her shoulder "You are right, I am pretty good."

Emma laugh as she looked down to see him smiling up at her ." Yes you are." she told him as she got op and holed out her hand for him to take, and he took her hand and they walked out the gate room.

"What would I ever do whet out you?" Daniel tells her as he put his arm around her shoulder as he leans in to kiss her forehead.

"Let's hope you never will find out." Emma says with a laugh in her voice.

"Oh that is how it is."

"Oh, that is how it is."

2 DAYS LATER

Emma stood in the gate room and she was looking up at the stargate. A smile found its way to her lips as she thought about how her life had turned out over the last 5 years. Emma had always dreamed about being an archaeologist, Emma had spend hours as a kid reading about the old Egypt and Greece. She would spend hours in class dreaming away about how it would be if she could visits that time , and see how the goods had built there great empires our see the Greek amazons in action. Little did she know that 15 years later she would meet a man that would change the way she looked at archaeology. Emma would travel true the galaxy via a wormhole, visiting other planet, that ones were inhabited by ancestors from earth and fight agents the gods she ones dreamed about meeting. Emma would not trade it for anything in the world.

Emma had made some great friend true throughout her time with the stargate program. Jack O'Neill, he was like the father Emma wished she had growing up. Jack is a great leader, a simply man but a great man and a great friend.

Samantha Cater is a great astrophysicist and an engineer. But most of all, she is the closest thing Emma has to a best friend.

Teal`c and Emma became friends fast , which surprised everyone , Emma liked to think it was because the both loved sci-fi and the both like to meditate . Teal´c , taught Emma how to fight and he helped her to learn about the Goa´uld , and she was proud to call him my friend .

Then there was Daniel Jackson. Daniel sees thing in people others might not see and Emma has an enormous amount of respect and admiration for him , she didn't know , what she would have don whet out him , whet all that has happened to her over the last two years . Daniel is also was the man that made gate travel possible.

"Emma "

Emma looks over her shoulder to see General Hammond looking at her.

"Sir."

"Daniel needs you, so get ready you leave whet in the hour." he tells her .

"Emma smiles as she walks after Hammond and down the hall to her room.

"We?" Mackey asked.

"Heya Rodney." Emma said with a smile, when she sees the look on his face as he sees her standing there .

"Oh it is you."

"Yea it is me." Emma said as she turns to the women.

"Doctor Wire."

"Emma."

"So you said something about looking in the wrong place?" Mackey said as he locked eyes whet Emma.

"We thought we had a stargate address-sex symbols representing space coordinates, the location of the planet the ancients when to after the left Antarctica." Daniel said as he walked up to the board and wrote down a symbol.

"Now recently we determined a sevenths symbol."

"The point of origin, Earth." Mackey says .

"That is not it." Emma said as she took a sip of her of the cup she had in between her fingers.

"Then your adders' must be incorrect."McKay tells them.

"Not incorrect, incomplete." Daniel said as he smiled look over at Emma.

"What are you saying Doctor Jackson. " Elisabeth asked as she looked between Daniel and Emma.

"It is an eight-symbol address." Emma says .

Daniel looked back to the board and draws something beside the symbol." What we are looking for may be further away then we imagined, but not out of reach.

"Atlantis." Mackey asked looking whet a shocked look on his face.

"Atlantis. And I thing we can go there." Daniel said as he looks over at Elisabeth and McKay.

Emma was about to say something, when Ford came in and told them that general O'Neill , was on his way down , Emma smiled as Daniel all but ran out of the room and she looked down at the papers ones again . However, she looked op when she felt to par of eyes looking at her. Emma looked up to find Elisabeth looking at her whet a smile.

"I already gave you my answer Elisabeth."

"I know you did, but I was hoping you had changed your mind."

"If anyone should go , it should be Daniel , not me ."

"Yeah, but you -"

"Jack!" Emma said whet a smile as he walked in the room whet Daniel .

"Emma "Jack said as he sat down on a chair as he looks up at Daniel whet a so look on his face.

"Oh right. We figure the ancient picked up their entire city and left somewhere between five and 10 million years ago."

Jack looked at Emma whet a raced eyebrow. "In there flying city."

Emma nodded her head as Daniel say yes and Jack looked at him Daniel like he finally lost his mind.

"What?"Daniel asked him annoyed.

"In there flying city?"

"Jack this is the race that built the stargate, the did everything big ." Emma tells him.

" So why did the leave ?"

"We know that the ancient on earth were suffering from a plague or maybe some of them were trying to start over in a new galaxy."

"The point is Jack. We know where they went." Emma told him as she pointed over at the board.

"Pegasus "Jack asks.

"Yeah, it is a name of a galaxy in the local group." Daniel tells him.

"After all this time, is there any change of actually meeting them ." Mackey says as he looked towards Daniel.

"Well who knows? but is that not a reason enough to go ?" Daniel asked as he looked over at Jack.

"I have been choosing members for this expedition for month's doctor. I am not the one who needs convincing." Elisabeth said whet a big smile on her face.

"I am convincing, have fun ." Jack told them.

"It is a little more complicated them that Jack ." Emma told him as she looked over at Daniel.

"We need the zed-P.M to power the gate ." Mackey tells Jack.

"The what ?"

"ZPM. "Emma told him "He is Canadian." She said as she took another sip of her coffee.

Jack looked over at Emma and Daniel. "The answer is no."

Emma was about to say something but stopped as Carson Beckett came running in to the room, telling them to come whet him fast. Emma walked out the room following the other in to the room where the ancient chair was and Emma saw a man sitting in the chair, and he had a shocked look all over his face .

"Who is this?" Elisabeth asked

"I told you not to touch anything." Jack said to the man as he stopped right in front of him.

"I-I just sat down ." He said.

"Who is that?." Emma whispered to Daniel.

"John Sheppard, he is the pilot."

"Sheppard, Can you thing about where we are in the solar system." Emma asks him as she walked up to him. Sheppard looked in to her eyes and before anyone know what was happening, a picture of the solar system appeared in bright blue light, over their heads.

"Did I do that. "He asked as kept his eyes on Emma.

"Yeah, you sure did." she told him whet a big smile on her face. Emma turned around to look up at Jack ." can we have the ZPM , now ?". She asked him.

"OH hell." Jack said as he looked over his shoulder at Daniel and back at Emma. "You can go." he told them as he turned around and walked out the room , whet Daniel and doctor Wire following behind him .

"What did just happened?" he asked her.

"Because of you Elisabeth get to go ." she told him

"Go were?"

"Atlantis."

Sheppard was to say something ells, but he stopped when someone called out Emma's name, the both tuned around to see Daniel walking in to the room.

He stopped talking when he sees them Emma and the Sheppard guy standing close together and he looks down and sees that they are holding hands.

"I need you." he tells Emma as he tunes around and walks back out the room .

Emma looks up at him as she let go of his hand. "I should go." she tells him as she start to walk out the room.

"Wait." Sheppard calls out.

"Yeah. " Emma said as she turns to look at Sheppard .

"I didn't get your name.," he told her.

"Emma Rose. But my friends call me Emma." she smiled at him as she walked away ,and she smiles when she hears him say her full name .

"The best-case scenario, we beet ancients who are willing to help us. But if we don't "Elisabeth tells him as she stopped in front of him . " General we need him."

"Sorry Doc, I need Daniel here." Jack tells her as the start walking again.

"I am talking about Major Sheppard."

"Jack stops and looks at her." Don't you have a dozen or so people, who can use the ancient technology?" He ask her .

"Yeah. But John Sheppard he does it naturally."

"I've checked in to his record." Jack tells Elisabeth.

Elisabeth holds her hand out to stop him." I know about the whole supposed black mark in Afghanistan. He was trying to save the lives of three servicemen."

"Disobeying a direct order." Jack says.
