Part 1

"Uhhh…" Jack let out a soft moan and slowly opened his eyes, blinking to focus his vision. Propping himself up on one arm, he promptly landed back on the floor as his hand slid out from underneath him. Shaking back the sleeve of his suddenly very large uniform, the man tried again, this time succeeding.

"Everyone alright?" Jack asked, his voice squeaking as he spoke. Coughing and rubbing his throat, he heard more groans from behind him. Obviously, his team was just waking up as well.

"Colonel?" a young girl's voice asked, sounding strangely familiar. Twisting around he stared in shock. A child Sam was staring back at him, looking mildly horrified. She appeared to be around eight or nine, and her long blonde hair was a mess.

"You're a kid!" he exclaimed.

"So are you." she replied, nodding at him. Puzzled, Jack looked down and found the reason why his uniform was suddenly so large - he had shrunk. Running a hand over his face and through his hair, the Colonel guessed he was around fifteen, perhaps younger.

"We all are."

Glancing sideways, he watched as Daniel sat up and adjusted his glasses, smirking at his early eighties hairstyle. Noting his look, the younger man asked, "What?"

"Oh, nothing. That hair looks good on you."

Examining it for a moment with his fingers, Daniel sighed and muttered, "Why did it have to be this haircut?"

"Daniel Jackson is correct. We have all be turned into our younger selves." Teal'c said, crossing his legs and focusing on each of them in turn. He looked to be about ten, and his golden tattoo was gone from his forehead.

"How is your Goa'uld larvae?" Sam asked, nodding towards his stomach.

"It appears to be fine. Whatever happened to us did not affect it."

"About that…anyone know what happened? The last thing I remember is stepping through the Stargate and seeing a flash of green light." Jack said, rolling up his dangling sleeves and pant cuffs before getting to his feet.

"That's all I remember too." Daniel replied. The others murmured in agreement as they rose, looking around curiously at the room they were in. It was circular and bathed in pale green light. A console stood in the middle of the room, a clear column rising out of it and into the ceiling.

"It looks like a ship." Jack muttered, wandering over to peer at the array of buttons and knobs on the console.

"It might belong to whoever did this to us. Teal'c, have you encountered this technology before?" Daniel asked, examining a pillar that seemed to be made of coral.

"I have not seen anything that can reverse someone's age before. Nor have I encountered this ship design before." he answered, moving over to join Jack.

"Well, that doesn't help us much." Jack grumbled, the turned swiftly as a previously unseen door in the back opened and a person entered.

"Ah. You're awake." a man cropped hair and big ears said as he straightened the leather jacket he wore. "Feel alright?"

"We feel fine. And you are…?" The British man didn't seem surprised as Jack stepped towards him, arms crossed and frowning.

"I'm the Doctor," he replied, looking past the Colonel and growling, "and I won't allow grubby little hands to touch my ship." Looking surprised, Sam quickly backed away from screen she had been examining.

Frown deepening, Jack snapped, "Nice to meet you, Doctor. Now turn us back into adults."

"Sorry, I can't do that."

"Oh? And why not?"

"Because I'm not the one who turned you into kids. And frankly, even if I did have the means to do that, I won't use it on you."

Not caring that this doctor was bigger then he was, Jack balled his hands into fists and was preparing to leap onto the man when a tug came at his jacket.

"Jack…fighting him won't help." Daniel hissed in his ear.

"Says who?! He's obviously hiding something." he snapped, turning to face the younger boy.

"That may be true Colonel, but getting him mad probably won't solve anything." Sam whispered, joining them. "And besides, you're just a teenager. We're all just kids. I hate to admit it, but the Doctor might be the only help we're going to get on this planet."

"Teal'c?"

"I will be content with whatever you decide, Colonel O'Neill. Although I do agree that we must be cautious if we are to trust this man." Jack thought this over for a few minutes, gaze flipping from person to person as he made his decision.

"Done with your meeting?" the Doctor said as they turned back to face him. Ignoring the man's sarcastic tone, Jack stepped forward.

"What do you say to starting over? I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill of the U.S. Air Force. This is Captain Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c." the Doctor nodded to each team member as they were introduced, leaning against the wall and looking mildly amused at their situation.

"So I finally run into someone from the SGC and I get a bunch of kids? Wonderful."

"You know about us?" Daniel asked in surprise, eyes bright behind his glasses.

"Yep. Don't bother asking how, I'm not in the mood to explain."

"Fair enough…" Jack said, accepting this with a slight nod. He didn't care about details right now, he just wanted to make sure his team was safe and return them all to normal. Hesitating for a moment, he swallowed the distaste in his mouth and asked, "Can you help us?"

"Maybe. Although I'm warning you, I'm not going to baby-sit you lot. That's not my thing." The Doctor glowered briefly at them, then relaxed and continued. "I can try and get in touch with the civilization here. Obviously, the like me a whole lot better than they like you."

"Apparently." the Colonel replied dryly, then motioned to his adult uniform. "I don't suppose you have a change of clothes? Fighting in these are rather difficult, you see."

The Doctor smiled and nodded. "I think I have a trunk of kid's stuff around here somewhere. Follow me." Jack walked after the man as he went back through the hard-to-see door, the rest of his team trailing along behind. They were discussing something, but he wasn't listening. This Doctor had him on edge, and for good reason. They could all be heading into a trap.
