Sam Carter's Past Life

Chapter 10: Vacation

It was a few days after Sam talked with her friends about this new issue in her life. If she was still an officer, she would take some R and R, but she's going to take it anyway since she's not an officer on the base. She knew that she was no good working there under the stress going through her mind at the moment. Now that she knows that Cassandra is her long-lost Sister, she wanted to spend quality time with her to get a grasp on her new life.

Sam said, "Do cahsinark elan ar cea y t'iraka — Poluhtirk aan veo avo ko dan culran tohso oo a Cme'as vil kumsara cea ceinireae. «I will go to this planet — Coruscant or wherever if you turn back into a Twi'lek and stay that way.»"

"Do bee dan cea Do cahsinark tlaran eti si'likeki bo dan. Cei garea bo dei jeset tilor, foh. «I told you that I would take it slow with you. So none of your sass talk, human.»"

"As I am taking a break from my duties here on Earth, we will be going to this new planet. What you have told me — they have seen Twi'leks and all sorts of species. You have told me that going to this planet will do me wonders on what has been happening to me recently, and if you don't change back into a goofy-ass Twi'lek, I'm not going."

Reluctantly, Cassandra changed back into Skyma Talle and said, "Thanks, Sister. It isn't that I don't want to be who I am, but this is new to you, and you are so still stressed out."

"That might be true, goofball, but you're my Sister, and that is all I want right now."

The two of them gave each other a sister's endearment hug.

Moments later, they trotted into the Gate Room, where everyone else was waiting for them to say goodbye to Sam. As she saw them there quietly, she gave them a genuine smile. "I'll miss each one of you — something awful."

General Hammond said, "You're always welcome back and have full access to the base anytime you want. The first time I met you all in 1969 and what I know of you and this new life you have recently experienced, I realize that this is your life, and it should be embraced fully. By allowing you to have access to the base, as you were as a Major, I hope you will return often. And remember Earth and the rest of us here at Stargate Command."

She gave a big smile and said jokingly, "Don't worry, I won't forget the little people here on Earth."

Everyone in the room laughed. As on cue, the wormhole was established. Sam gave everyone in the room a quick hug, and both Skyma and Sam went through.

Imagine the coolest city you've ever seen, with buildings reaching all the way up to the clouds! Now imagine that city isn't just a city, it's a whole entire planet! That's Coruscant!

Instead of grass and trees, Coruscant has millions and millions of buildings stacked on top of each other, some shiny and new, others old and crumbly. Cars don't drive on roads, they fly like giant silver bugs zipping between the buildings. It's like a giant game of zoomies, but way crazier!

If you peek between the buildings, you might see rivers of glowing lights instead of water. That's all the spaceships and speeders taking off and landing. Coruscant is like a giant spaceport, with all sorts of weird and wonderful aliens from different planets coming and going.

There's even a giant golden temple where super cool space knights called Jedi live. They can move things with their minds and have laser swords — way cooler than light sabers! Coruscant is a bit like a giant playground, but for grown-ups (and some very wise droids). There's always something new to see, somewhere new to explore, and tons of adventures waiting around every corner!

After giving her a long look around the surroundings, Skyma asked, "Do you remember anything?"

To her bewilderment, Sam answered, "Yes, I do, and I don't see how."
